When I first saw our fixtures I believed we would have 9 points at this stage, however I thought we would beat Bournemouth and wolves which we should of done
Liverpool and Brighton results are a bonus, but makes me think where we could have been in the league, just hope we can get three points Saturday to make those results look even more worthwhile.

DTP be interesting to see how we set up at home especially now MGW is suspended, we might “accidentally “ find a better combination,
23 Sep 2024 16:46:13
Just out of interest, do coaches get suspended as players do after receiving a red card?
{Ed001's Note - yes.}
23 Sep 2024 17:20:03
I think Nunos now stamping his authority a bit more, thought MGW was going to take the penalty, but Woods buried it, in fact MGW must of been told to stop trying to do everything. And it seems when subs are used Awoniyi is lucky to see many minutes, should be a cracker against Fulham ?.

OK thanks Ed.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}
23 Sep 2024 17:31:26
Ed 1 to follow on from Legless’s question mate does that mean a 3 match or a 1 match touchline ban?
{Ed001's Note - it is usually 2 or 3. They can also get suspended 1 game for picking up too many yellows. One manager reached the 3 card limit at the weekend (IIRC it was Iraola but I could be mistaken). But the number of matches suspended depends on the incident and they usually have a disciplinary hearing to decide.}
23 Sep 2024 17:32:34
Why should we have beaten Bournemouth and Wolves?
Both are our so called bogey teams and we rarely beat them.
Glad to get out of them both unbeaten to be honest.
23 Sep 2024 18:46:05
Many thanks Ed….
{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

Brighton we’re a bogey team too beat em once in years.
23 Sep 2024 19:20:26
We were winning in both games and I don't believe in bogey men or bogey teams, both those two are far weaker this season after losing key players
Yes stevie I believe he will play jota in MGW role, but don't expect much else with two wingers, Hudson picks himself, but he might drop elanga for sosa and fully expect Yates to start.
23 Sep 2024 19:23:49
Would fans rather of took first 3 wins and 2 losses for 9 points or are most fans happy with winning at anfield and being unbeaten with 9 points easy question and I think easy answer for most forest fans.
23 Sep 2024 19:31:33
Try telling that to season card holders where the whole family go skeggs, expensive day out for them and they would want to see us win.
23 Sep 2024 20:34:36
Whether you believe it or not it doesn't change the fact that bogey teams and players do exist.
Almost every team has them.
Bournemouth have been a thorn in our side for years now.
We were 2-0 up against them 2 seasons ago and still lost so to say we were winning 1-0 this time and should have won is a bit short sighted.
23 Sep 2024 20:54:59
We have better players than we had then Fred, we are one of the biggest spending clubs in Europe so we have to beat the likes of Bournemouth, wolves, Fulham, Palace, fester, Southampton, Ipswich, everton especially at home or we won't progress much
Bogey teams don't exist only in the minds of supporters, players change and coaches change, its all about getting it right on the day
Solanke was part of the reason Bournemouth beat us first time and the referee last season for sending boly off first half, we weren't facing Solanke and wolves lost their two best players without replacing them
Just pointing out where I thought those 9 points would come from Fred nothing more, delighted to beat Liverpool at anfield, but we could have top of the league with better home form, is there something wrong in saying that?
23 Sep 2024 21:20:23
Whether the points come home or away is irrelevant as long as we get them.
Its not like we're losing at home is it?
Fulham are a good side full of pace and I'll actually be surprised if we beat them especially without our best player.
We are set up to be an effective counter attacking side which suggests we may see more success on the road and struggle to break teams down a bit more when playing at home.
24 Sep 2024 07:53:15
That's where ward prowse comes in Fred and try a different set up at home that allows us to play controlled football with more possession we are getting, jota and sosa also, no point keep starting with the same team and tactics and getting the same results
That's what the squad is there for.
24 Sep 2024 11:43:42
It's a shame you didn't tell cooper about all his faults dtp he might of kept his job.
24 Sep 2024 16:07:36
Boring.
24 Sep 2024 16:50:31
Would you have seen us unbeaten though after 5 games dtp and beating Liverpool at anfield if we had won the first 3 games and lost the last 2 that would of knocked the teams confidence so just be happy and Stevie who cares how he sets up as long as he gets results I mean that's what it's all about results and nunos doing a great job of getting them uredddssss.
24 Sep 2024 16:56:09
If you can't afford don't waste your money on it. it's a luxury nowadays and another easy question for the ones that travel the country that pay more than anyone I know there's some on here are you happier with the away performances you are seeing.
24 Sep 2024 18:43:44
Every game is an away day for you skeggs, sat on your cardboard recliner while cuddling Stella ???.
