Just a few head wobbling thoughts to ponder on fellow Reds.
Percentage long balls (rounded up) Nuno 14% Dyche (Everton) 18% Postacoglau 6%
Percentage goals from set pieces Nuno 26% Dyche (Everton) 44% Postacoglau 16%.
Dyches Everton score a lot from set pieces. Perhaps he could coach this knack into our team and stop the set piece goals being conceded at our end. After all, we now have an excellent free kick specialists in Luiz and Zinchenko plus some big units in Malenkovic, Yates, Morata, Anderson, Murillo, Woody etc
For those being sniffy about long balls, perhaps we should give Liverpool the 3 points back that we got from CHO from MGW at Anfield, or the point we saved at Palace from CHO and Ndoye etc. If it results in a goal chance it's a good option. '
For those being dismissive of supposed low block defensive football, whilst your heads are still wobbling, have another look at Forests European Cup Final wins, particularly Hamburg. If, occasionally, it was good enough for Cloughie it's good enough for me.
Lastly, Dyches stats and style are very similar to Nuno. Which brought us some great victories and memorable moments last season. Were you not entertained?
We need stability. Our attrition rate of managers is getting like Darth Vaders Death Star captains or the red shirted security men in Star Trek. ???.

You don't need to convince anyone mate, Mr M clearly thought he was the right man to recharge our season. And those ney sayers don't have any input into Mr M's world. ?.

Percentage this and percentage that. Percentage possession. Percentage shots on target to shots taken. XG Percentage. XG Percentage against. Save Percentage. Pass Completion Percentage. Interception Percentage. Clean Sheet Percentage. Win-Draw-Loss Percentage. It all means nothing. The only thing that matters is the result.

I'm expecting a night full of passion, and fight!
I won't see any of it as it's my wonderful daughter's Birthday!
So if course it will be all about her.

If you want mediocrity, then you have it now. NO need for stats, we know what we are getting for Dyche as he's been a mediocre manager for 20 years now.
21 Oct 2025 21:33:34
Yup, that’s right mate! don't confuse me with the stats and the facts, my mind is made up……???? I rest my case and see what the future brings ??????????.
21 Oct 2025 21:38:34
Stability?
That went out the window when nuno spat his dummy out
What makes you think dyche can sort it out?
You come up with nothing stokey than things from the past, the past is gone and the future is now
I hope he does do a good job, but your bigging him up far to much in what he's achieved.

Well we are at the moment a mediocre side so we've got whatever we deserve so stop bleating and start cheering the owner has played his next card he's payed his money and he'll take the Hit we will just be disappointed maybe, maybe not but the sun will still rise tomorrow for us hopefully and all it's cost is a couple of pounds COYR????.

Nuno answered a question or two, Dtp. It was Marinakis who spat his dummy out.
21 Oct 2025 22:45:23
Hey Ff. That's a good un. The future is now!. Hilarious mate.

You know what they say gazzi?
Little things please little minds.
22 Oct 2025 09:46:22
They certainly do mate. I'm still laughing at that one.
22 Oct 2025 09:48:51
One day you will wake up and realise that, sometimes, the only thing to look forward to is the past ……
DTP, I don't know how old you are mate but I’m guessing that, like me, you were the future once ………??.
