What's the saying, can't make a purse out of a sows ear, well that's what you lot are wanting C H to do with this Forest squad. We had seen until the transfer window how poor we were, we struggled to defend, had nothing in midfield and no attack, and yet you expect C H to turn out a team to attack, attack, attack, use some common sense, do you really think taking a man out of a under performing midfield and playing two under performing strikers would have helped and don't forget the defence weren't playing very well at the time either and that would probably have put more pressure on them to. So through the window CH brings in three better players, the team plays better, looks better and are picking up the points needed to stave off relegation, but you lot are still not satisfied you still want more attacking even if it means loosing games, crazy, one on here said he'd sooner watch attacking football in div one, show's the standard of fan we attract nowadays, Think you've all been inside to long, with this c.v. around your just not thinking right. Give it time and who knows we may all get what we want.

Agree8 Disagree0

I disagree totally with you.
There is a few teams in that squad using different tactics.
Not all of these proven players have become bad overnight.
We could play many different formations with this squad but hughton won't.
Hes got tunnel vision.

16 Feb 2021 12:00:05
Mate, I never said we should go all out attacking?
A more balanced approach would do, instead of worrying about what the other lot are going to do.

16 Feb 2021 12:21:38
By the way DTBC, I'm fortunate to be working through this, so that's a hell of a cheap shot considering there's people on here through no fault of there own, are stuck inside.

16 Feb 2021 12:30:25
I feel you are not showing common sense. If you are happy with the football then good for you.

Have you not noticed that once Forest go behind they all of a sudden the tempo of their game is upped.

They then get more positive in order to get a goal back, but not all out attack, it has worked a fair amount of the times.

If Forest played that way from the off then imagine what could be accomplished.

So no i have not expected the manager from his first day in charge to get the team to go and attack, attack, attack, i just hoped for a better balance of defence and attack.

I wanted him to sort out the defence but not to virtually neutralise the attack in the process.

If the manager feels the players are up to playing a higher tempo once behind, and be more positive in the process, and able to score goals when they do, then why does he not feel they can do while the score is level.

So attack, attack, attack is not expected by myself, just some common sense by the manager in how he sets up the team.

16 Feb 2021 12:37:16
I understand what your getting at rogie. But as iv'e posted numerous times on here mate. Hughton is a 1-0 manager. Probably relying on sammy, knockaert, forwards haven't been up to scratch to be honest. Ff79 do you actually think its a good idea keep changing formations fighting relegation. he's had his work cut out just what to do with this squad. Just saying.

16 Feb 2021 13:28:19
I worded that wrong. I meant the midfield as the forwards haven't been great.

16 Feb 2021 13:28:29
The truth is that squad wasn’t good enough, no mater what formation he put out or what side he picked before the transfer window the players weren’t good enough and some still aren’t . Are you telling me that playing two out of sorts strikers that don’t look as though they could play together anyway, weakening the midfield by taking a player out, a midfield that was poor at best, starting with three in midfield in front of the defence that was also performing poorly at the time was the way to go, maybe another formation ay, bet you C H has never thought about that. Not sure were this higher tempo comes from didn’t see much before new year. Since then though with the three new players much better.

16 Feb 2021 13:30:18
Dream team save your breath mate the negative brigade are the the most persistant posters, its like a fix for them.
we lose, we are crap, CH out and owner out
we draw, we are crap, Bournemouth are crap, there for the taking though they are just out of premier league, in aplay off place and one of the top scorers in the league.
we win 1-0 we are crap, should score more, CH out
we win 2-1 we are crap, should score more goals CH out
we win 3-0 away, we are crap,
we win 3-0 away, we are crap, they are bottom of league so don't count.
1 defeat in 11 games, we are crap, its boring CH out.

16 Feb 2021 13:30:35
Cheap shot or not something has a lot of you not thinking straight.

16 Feb 2021 13:31:21
My point is bowie there is that like you say he's a one nil manager and its a massive gamble playing backs to the wall all the time
We only have two players capable of scoring agoal ie knockheart or murray/ grabban/ taylor. which ever one gets the nod.
Prefers freeman to lolley or mighten.
I do think some team will spank us soon if not tomorrow night.
Whatever happens mate its best we part company at seasons end.
Oniel got sacked for a lot less.

16 Feb 2021 13:45:39
Thats only your opinion dreamteam plenty dissagree with you.

16 Feb 2021 13:52:39
Dream team mate, you are absolutely spot on, word for word well said,

16 Feb 2021 13:55:26
Ff79 I say this for the last time mate, but you declared yourself ‘ very happy ‘ with the self same tactics under lamouchi, that’s what baffles me,?

16 Feb 2021 14:06:12
Don't remember saying we were "crap"?
Also, I wouldn't call myself "Negative"
🤔🤔😒.

16 Feb 2021 14:06:39
Trentender i and others say the football is rubbish, which it is but i 'am always chuffed when Forest win and say so.

What i have noticed some on here like to exaggerate what others have said and take what have said out of context to make point.

I will now do the same to make my point. Those are the one's that would say if Forest got relegated, the manager had all but five games of the term but it was not long enough to secure safety.

He did the best he couldand Forest will go straight back up without drawing and losing a game, and if he is sacked the next manager has the right foundations to do that.

16 Feb 2021 14:18:59
Stevie i like to go to away games and last season was the first in many years we won so many and should have won more so it was always a good journey home and don't try telling me they were all one nils as they weren't.
We struggled at home granted but even then we did the likes of leeds and brentford and all with one striker that had to be kept fit.
Im fed up of swapping the manager for one who is just as bad.
Karanka was god on here to some.
He won only won 16 out 52 games and took us on a record run of not scoring.
Along came Oniel and did more than what was required and certainly an upgrade on karanka.
Only to be replaced by Lamouchi now we are just going back to karanka ways and that went well.
I want a younger more forward thinking manager and the owners to stick with him.
Your only hoping that hughton can do what he did at Brighton?
He couldn't do it at Norwich or Birmingham so there are no guarantees he will do it here.
We were in the top six all season and fans f8nd it easier to put up with.
To me going out scared of the opposition like he was on Saturday is no way forward.

16 Feb 2021 14:40:28
ff79 I can of see your point, but I believe we’re so defensively frail, that if we attacked the top 6 sides in this league ( garbage though it is ) and went toe to toe, , we would very likely lose the game, we have full backs who have no clue how to defend, and I think ch has cut his cloth accordingly, as I said before, at the moment needs must,

16 Feb 2021 14:51:02
Think you were spot on earlier rogie. big difference in opinions mate. just out of curiosity our next 4 games.
Swansea
Blackburn
Rotherham
Derby
Whos going to stick there neck out and predict out of the 12 points how many were going to get 😳.

16 Feb 2021 15:30:13
Stevie, we were good against top six sides for the last few seasons. What does that tell us?

16 Feb 2021 15:31:05
Stevie i'm not saying go toe to toe.
Maybe play murray and Taylor together and use our good wingers to greater effect drop cafu who contributes very little and let kv drop a bit deeper.

16 Feb 2021 15:33:29
Btw i'm not hahahaha.

16 Feb 2021 16:16:21
Daft thing is if we drew them all its only 4 points but keeps the run going but if teams below win just two then we are right back in it.
Thats my fear that with keep inviting teams to attack us we will struggle to win games.
Its also perilous to sit back in the modern game as one foul seems to be a yellow card.

16 Feb 2021 16:48:41
Well that's why sow always worries me. He does a job. But plays a dangerous game.

16 Feb 2021 16:49:45
You keep on worrying, FF79, it's needless though. Forest are now looking a half-decent side, in decent form and will not go down. There are easily 4 or 5 teams much worse off than us that are really going to struggle.

The rest of this season is Hughton further settling in, getting his message across and preparing for next season. Personally, I'm happy with the progress made since the horrendous start to the season. Let's hope next season is better (with less moaning, maybe? ) .

16 Feb 2021 16:55:55
Swansea one-one. D

Blackburn two-one L

Rotherham nil-one W

Derby one - one D

So five points for me.

16 Feb 2021 17:13:51
Ff79 your saying a younger manager? So who would that be?

16 Feb 2021 19:04:55
Sutty its not moaning its an opinion that you don't agree with so therefore you decide its moaning.
Differences of opinion are all part if life.

16 Feb 2021 19:08:50
Bowie i haven't given it a lot of thought at the moment.
But have been impressed how well the likes of scott parker have taken to management.
Its giving them a chance?
Too many managers in their sixties still doing the rounds.

16 Feb 2021 20:07:29
I have said before because he has got his team to play the right way and has gotten the best out of young Johnson, that is Michael Appleton of Lincoln.

Now he is a manager that i think would deserve time to build a team at Forest.

16 Feb 2021 20:49:17
Dreamer rogie negative your having a laugh he's probably the most positive post on here just because for once he doesn't like something doesn't make him negative read his past posts over the years and get your facts straight before tarnishing people.

16 Feb 2021 21:19:28
Bang on skeggs we've been accused in the past as being the same poster under karanka.
But we don't always agree.
As we don't know about hughton.
Its just about opinions.

16 Feb 2021 21:29:57
Agreed skeggs I've never seen one negative post from rogie.

16 Feb 2021 22:31:02
Very brave predictions get forward well done 👌.
