As I've said before I think Ange is the wrong choice.
But like every new coach that comes in you have to give him time.
Hope I'm proved wrong. If he gets it right good but as you all know if he doesn't he will be gone.
At the moment all I can see is a season of struggle. We were very poor at times yesterday may be the weather had something to do with it. We should be beating sides like Burnley. let's see how we cope with Sunderland who are on a high with just getting promoted.
21 Sep 2025 10:36:02
Burley pushed Liverpool so seem to be a decent side. I agree we didn't know what we were doing at times and there was little cohesion. Lots of variables but it was a little disappointing. Zinchencko looked way off the pace and was dominated. We really need speed at the back. Aina will be sorely missed I feel. We are short at the back now with Murillo and Aina give for a while, let's hope Morato steps up with more game time and this young kid can step up. We can't play a high line with no pace to defend, Ange will have to really think how to get the best out of bloody solid group of players. He needs time, I feel it will be rocky for a month or so, Europe will be his focus I feel with marankis driving it. He has the potential to take us to the next level or have a real struggle implementing what is expected in a short time with a lot of pressure.

The right choice of coach is one who Edu and Marinakis want to work with. They need a coach who is committed to playing a style of football that they are recruiting off and who shares their philosophy.
The worst coach for Forest is one who Edu/ Marinakis don't share philosophy and plans with.
Edu and Marinakis think Ange Postecoglu shares their philosophy and plays the way that fits their recruitment strategy. It would be madness to do anything else.
21 Sep 2025 11:00:45
SYRED, if there wa little cohesion then why did we beat Burnley on EVERY METRIC? Why did we create so many chances? Why did we have so many more sucessful forward passes than the opposition?
Not the finished article, and the subs can be questioned on their timing and perhaps playing Kalimuendo out of position. But we lost on an individual error and poor finishing.
21 Sep 2025 11:20:00
They want ange to fail cyclist
They can't have watched the match to come up with silly conclusions
Like you say even the stats show how dominant we where
What stats don't show is a Burnley having a 5 man defence?
That is never easy to break down and if we'd of played nunos counter attack, would never have had a shot anyway.
21 Sep 2025 11:57:42
It's obvious some people just won't give the new coach a chance. A few wins might help.
The individual error thing is starting to get really annoying now. It's been happening all season. Apart from the first game, you can point to one or more individual error that's cost us the points.
Palace: Stupid flick while defending - MGW.
Swansea: Zinchenko error.
Sangare penalty.
Boly not clearing his zone with a header.
We'd be in the top 4, only lost to Arsenal and not moaning about Nuno and Ange if that hadn't happened (Nuno's tedious footy notwithstanding).
21 Sep 2025 12:18:29
I remember ange stats in premiere league last year plenty of shots possession. all good and well remind me where they finished in the league and as for edu arsenal are in a lot better place without him. and nuno would of won that game against a side that's just come up from the championship wait for the excuses Wednesday when we get thumped by betis.
21 Sep 2025 12:42:53
Balloons, I have to be honest Europa isn’t even something I’m thinking about, I wish we weren’t in it all, the circumstances of us being in it are just bringing us more unwanted attention, if we struggle as you predict then it’s Jsut more games for a losing mentality to cement.
Surely the only thing Forest should be worrying about is beating Sunderland, failure to that will see us in deep, deep trouble this season. We’re fast looking like a team with too much tuning needed.
21 Sep 2025 12:51:29
So hooydonk (skeg ) you do prefer park the bus after all that moaning you did when we played it?
21 Sep 2025 12:55:24
nuno has been losing most games since Man U on April 1st last year. Simple as. DO an ostritch impresison if you like but it's still true.
You're also ignoring the point. Marinakis and Edu run the club. To have an integrated way of running the club you have to have a coach who wants to work how they do. Nuno made it plain for eveyone, in public that he wasn't that coach.
So Marinakis and Edu have appointed a coach who agrees with them. Whether it's a good decision, time will tell. But no point appointing or sticking with someone who will work against them.
The otherr point is that nuno was on a downward trajectory and teams had his number which is why the bad results (3 wins in 13 games I think) started. So why stick with Nuno? There is no good reason to except to argue pointlessly with the owner.
21 Sep 2025 12:57:41
And exactly, DTP. You can't counter-attack a team who sit back like Burnley. That's exactly the way teams have been beating us since last April under Nuno. This is precisely why one-trick Nuno had to go.
21 Sep 2025 13:28:09
2 gold star if maranakis and edu wanted a man in charge to play there system there way with the players edu brings in and didn't think nuno could do it surely the sensible thing to do would of bought a new manager in the summer but then he wouldn't of got much work done with the new players as they would of been bought in to late in window all a bit crazy for me and everyone will be up for beating us angeball guaranteed to score against us no chance of sels getting golden glove this season.
21 Sep 2025 13:31:57
Some can't see that cyclist and why we needed to get a stronger squad
Really don't understand all the negativity on here.
21 Sep 2025 14:06:44
Its opinions dtp. some fans don't agree with you that's life pal and after the next 2 games there's going to be a lot more so I'd get use to it. I remember a certain few that have posted up above being negative all last season even though we got into Europe so pot kettle pal.
21 Sep 2025 14:22:10
Stop crying about Nuno. He was found out. He had a good half season or so then everyone realised all you have to do is sit back and his team had no way to win.
Marinakis and Edu saw the problem and recruited to solve it. Nuno threw the toys out of the pram and worked against the people who clearly saw what he couldn't see and also paid his wages. Try speaking in front of the press against your boss when you've only won one game in 13 or whatever it was.
The result is clearly pictured in my Avatar. See ya one-trick. RED CARD!
?✊?.
21 Sep 2025 14:26:29
Hooydonk I never said it was tedious, you called that system parking the bus not me,
21 Sep 2025 14:40:40
Cyclist great post,
21 Sep 2025 14:43:52
We had a manager that knew what he needed to make the team more successful for this long hard season the man got us into Europe and wanted better this season. but edu thought it would be better to change the system that got us into Europe so nuno for me done the right thing and said get on with it if you think you can do better let's see at the end of the season who was right nuno or edu my moneys on nuno pal like I said arsenal a lot better off without the bloke my dad's big arsenal fan he clapped when he left and laughed at me when he knew he was coming to forest lol and the kat 13 games you was on about injuries and a lot of tired legs pal and nit a decent squad to cover we beat Liverpool at anfield last season only team to take 4 points off them we got to Europe anyone at start of last season would of been happy with mid table so please a little less of your nonsense about the end of the season form best season we'd had in decades fact enjoy your Sunday dinner pal ?.
21 Sep 2025 14:48:55
The first 2 mentions of Nuno on this thread were by members of the Nuno out brigade (DTP and Cyclist).
Quite telling that they can't stop going on about him and seeds of doubt may be starting to creep in ?.
It will be very interesting if after 10 games they're talking about Nuno more than Ange which will tell it's own story.
As I've stated before I'll give any manager of Forest my full support and Ange is no exception.
He has a clean slate with me and there's no need to try and jump up his CV as they can be very misleading.
He managed one of the most successful J league sides and Celtic which would enhance even the most average of managers trophy cabinets (even Brendan Rodgers ?).
Let's stop slagging off Nuno and get behind Ange ?.
21 Sep 2025 14:50:53
Hi stevie I wondered when the 3rd muskateer would turn up lol.
21 Sep 2025 14:57:27
But seriously, most importantly, get behind the whole project.
Marinakis is putting his money where his mouth is.
Edu and Marinakis have a plan and Ange is part of it. Get behind all three of them and the team.
We are Nottingham Forest! COYR!
21 Sep 2025 15:21:07
Hooydonk not sure what you mean skegs I was quite happy with nuno but the bloke hit the self destruct button, I thought it was you that didn’t like ‘ park the bus, as you said about cooper he got us into the premier, we then needed an upgrade to push on, so maybe the owner who has put about half a billion into the club, thinks he’s employed a bloke who’s the next step up, having won a European trophy, his opinion trumps yours, as you ain’t put a penny piece in, in living memory,
21 Sep 2025 15:27:54
I'll second that Cyclist ?.
Exciting times ahead either way me thinks.
21 Sep 2025 16:37:55
Will take time for the team to settle, we will be a lot stronger in the 2nd half of the season once the squad has settled, got to remember forwards play a lot better when full of confidence and settled, defenders just need to be consistent and switched on fir 100 minutes, at moment a lot of disruption but things will get better, just need to grind out a couple of results. Was good to see us have a couple of shots from outside the box as well to mix things up.
21 Sep 2025 18:38:15
Fred I didn't want nuno to go
He chose to go
Decision was made and I'm a forest fan, seen plenty of managers come and go in my 68 years
It's those moaning about ange being in charge and predicting the worst?
Always be grateful to nuno and Cooper before him, but ange is coach now abd there is no point deciding he's already failed like some on here.
21 Sep 2025 19:09:24
You've never done that with a manager last one was nuno also sels In goal just saying dtp you obviously forget what you say must be your age pal and we're all entitled to our opinions.
21 Sep 2025 20:07:36
Sels I didn't like initially as he looked very iffy and still won't catch a ball from set pieces despite his size, that's something I don't like from a keeper
Great shot stopper and got a settled defence in front of him which helps.
22 Sep 2025 00:04:13
"He said, she said, they said" you guys sound like a bunch of schoolgirls.
Past is the past and we can't do anything to change it. Ange is our head coach now, you may or may not agree with Nuno going but there's nothing anyone can do to change that. Stop bloody bitching at each other its getting boring. ?.
22 Sep 2025 20:48:15
Well said Robin. It's got a lot worse since the East coast bent has returned. Just childish pathetic jibes. So boring.
23 Sep 2025 02:49:20
Yeah it takes two to tango or in this case five or six, others feeding into the narrative and deliberately bringing up past quotes. Honestly thought we all supported the same team. Clearly its not just international breaks when Lord of the Flies becomes common place on here. ?.
