I notice that the 'let's give Ange more time' brigade have gone a bit quiet on here recently. Yes, including you my friend McGovern!
More time for what - to further erode player and supporter morale? ; to accelerate our return to Championship football? ; to embarrass ourselves further in Europe? ; to erode passion for the badge and make our great Club some laughing-stock in the football fraternity again?
I read today that rival fans have started calling us Nottingham Hotspur. Embarrassing.

Honestly who actually cares what other supporters think? But i was one of those who wanted to get behind Ange (and not in the way the Brighton natives do) although now i'm firmly in the get him out before anymore damage is done. ?.
03 Oct 2025 19:00:08
He has had worst 6 games as a forest manager in over 100 years. just think about some of the dross we've had in that time.
03 Oct 2025 19:02:36
I won't be watching match Sunday. i just can't watch the mess this man is causing. I don't know what decent manager would take charge knowing edu is pulling the strings just as I thought forest was in the best place for over 30 years oh well joys in being a forest fan.
03 Oct 2025 19:05:25
More time?
To be fair he has only been here 3 weeks.
03 Oct 2025 19:23:06
Apparently if Ange falls again against The Toon he will be rid of?
Question is who would be able to get us on the right track again?
03 Oct 2025 20:02:57
Probably get pelters, however i'm going for us to get SOMETHING against Newcastle.
And it won't be a heavy defeat.
You got to believe haven't ya?

Spot on lego ?.

Skegs that's probably your best post ever mate ? didn't know you had it in you.
03 Oct 2025 20:32:18
Good to see you post Skegs.
And I hope you’re right Rogie mate.
I’m normally mr positive, but it feels that all the good work done by Nuno and Cooper has been eradicated in less than a month and a half.
I said a couple of weeks back we ‘would be ok’ and Lego correctly pulled me up on it.
I don’t think that now.
Genuinely can’t think of a positive spin. The whole atmosphere around the club has changed.
Sorry to be negative.
At least we all have pride in the badge, and always will.
03 Oct 2025 20:35:02
Just being honest redstripe probably like a few forest fans. i didn't want nuno to go but he put a gun to his head because he wanted the best fir tge team and knew what he needed to get tge best out of forest this season. But when he went u was hoping for a better manager we've just gone backwards.
03 Oct 2025 20:44:16
Completely agree Forest 67.
Forest aside and I know it's difficult with everyone angry and hurting right now.
But if someone said do you think 3 weeks is giving someone a fair shot as an incoming manager, honestly, would everyone say yes?
Not making excuses, we do look a bit weak at the back (Nuno voiced his concerns here).
We have had Murrilo out and Aina done for 3 months, 2 of our best performers in defence and now Zinchenko.
Ange has not had a full weeks training with the players yet with 3 midweek matches on top, I still think he needs more time.
But regardless, there is a sh! t ton of pressure on the manager and the players right now but they do also earn a sh! t ton of money too.
I hope he gets more time but I think Maranakis will admit making a mistake here and will be pulling the trigger in the next few days.

I agree with all your comments, apart from that from my Cornish-mucker - Winter. I can abide being called a 'Florist' by rival fans. I have a good ex-Army friend who is a fervent Direby fan who calls me a 'Red Dog'. I kind of like that!
The difference is Winter, the inference in the term Nottingham Hotspur. Think about it. The reason why I hate the term is that I feel, deep down, that describes our great Club perfectly at the moment.

Thanks arizona been in a bad place just lately dad as cancer been taking him for chemo every Tuesday there's no cure for him chemo the only thing that's keeping him going for next few months taking a break with him next week cleethorpes lol but he loves it there. would of never supported forest without him he use to take me to every game in Kate 79s early 80s.
03 Oct 2025 21:16:42
Sticks and stones lego, but remember its them bricks that hurt. Mate i grew up thinking i was the only forest supporter on the right side of the tamar, daily banter (i call it banter but it was really getting a verbal hammering) with hordes of Man U and Liverpool supporters, oh and the odd leeds tw@t, School was fun. Then lovely weekends up in the Midlands with my grandad and uncles, one said uncle being a ram. So yeah they can all give it but its how you give it back that counts. ??.
03 Oct 2025 21:24:54
I’m really sorry to hear that Skegs. There are no words I can say to convey what you’re going through mate.
( Been there with my late wife mate) but I understand completely how difficult it is, and as difficult as it must be for you, taking him to cleethorpres (each to their own! ) will give your dad the same memories you got from going to Forest with him.
My heart goes out to you both. wish I could find the right words.
Always here if needed❤️.
03 Oct 2025 21:41:29
Cheers arizona and I'm sorry you went through it with your late wife. its pretty hard mate you really have to do it by yourself a bloke thing I think. and I'm going to try and make it a great week for him rather take him las Vegas lol but cleethorpes will do 40 minutes up road.
03 Oct 2025 21:41:38
Skegs mate, even though we're all absolute c***s to each other here but through it all mate we are all a big red family ish?
Wish your Dad, your family and yourself all the best mate. ?.
03 Oct 2025 21:44:47
Hang in there Skegs. My wife Sue knows all about what you're going through mate. Try to remain strong.
03 Oct 2025 22:01:48
Thanks for your kind words Skegs, you’ve got a good heart mate. And yes, you’d maybe prefer Vegas, but when it’s just you and your dad, you’ll be in the best place in the world. Take care mate.
And best wishes to your good lady and yourself Lego.
03 Oct 2025 22:02:30
Sad times we live in skegs. Watched the old man / ma go with it. Sadly my older sister buried today. Life goes on and the yank, grandkids tonight remind me just how lucky I am my friend ❤️.
03 Oct 2025 22:09:18
I'm OK lads getting on here gives me time out like a lot on here. nobody ever knows what we're all going through personally I know others that are on this site that are going through bad times. we disagree we argue but we're all a forest family at the end of the day. this sites kept me sane for a long time it's a great place to get out of the real world sometimes. With great people and I've tested the eds a lot and put a load of crap on to them which I'm sorry for. anyway let's get back to footie and please a draw at the geordies would be great.
03 Oct 2025 22:29:43
Arizona - I think that you have a massive heart, both for our Club and other people. I like to think that I am similar to you.
FYI, for those that remember my post a while ago, I managed to raise the £700 to help the homeless lady I was on about - she has suffered 30 years of domestic abuse and is now living in a Sally Army refuge. She now has food, clothing, a mobile phone to speak with her sons and 2 months of shelter paid for her.
She couldn't stop crying when I gave her the good news.
03 Oct 2025 23:12:06
No, let's not get back to footie for a moment Skegs. We all love Forest - but family comes before footie. It sounds like you are stepping up to the plate to look after your Dad in every way that you can. That's all you can do mate and hang in there in that tough process.
In a way, I wish my wife Sue was also on this site. She could chat with you about what she went through supporting me during my 50 nights in hospital, flat-lining, leg amputations etc. All I can say is that I'm sure, as I did with Sue, your Dad massively appreciates all the support you're giving him.
04 Oct 2025 00:13:55
For cloughs sake lego mate, can ya just leave it please. Just saying.
04 Oct 2025 00:22:56
All the best Skegs.
I had the same with my mum 7 years ago. You got to remain strong.
04 Oct 2025 05:32:35
Skeg really sorry to hear your horrid news.
Be strong ??❤️❤️❤️.
04 Oct 2025 06:33:37
While I don't post a hell of a lot, reading all your posts, good bad and ugly really gives me the feeling of home. Despite being on the other side of the world, I feel I know all your faces and personalities. To all going through struggle, we are all here to listen and help in whatever capacity we can. It's a real pleasure coming on here and feeling like I'm in a high school reality show sometimes. We all love this club despite the shenanigans that go on behind the scenes.
04 Oct 2025 11:39:26
Good news Legolas?, I hope you can get some funding for over Christmas and the winter ?.
