Nottingham Forest banter 10

05 Sep 2026 16:58:49
As I suspected, a draw. Can't see how we could have improved this game much although Jesus is far better than NDoye, and Wood a passenger.
Looks like we can't score again and reliant on defence and a dodgy midfield. This year will be another struggle.

05 Sep 2026 16:15:44
Is McAtee still playing? Done absolutely nothing for 15 minutes.

05 Sep 2026 18:08:26.
Both Jesus and McAtee were good, in my opinion, but then I watched a completely different game to you, obviously.

05 Sep 2026 16:11:58
Delap has had no service whatsoever. Could be due to the fact that there are no wingers delivering crosses? What do you think Bowie?

05 Sep 2026 15:38:20
Bowie. Looks to be no rehearsal or plan whatsoever with our corners and nobody there to finish off the corner with a shot or header on target?

05 Sep 2026 17:36:57
Couldn't agree more, bud. 👍

05 Sep 2026 15:21:14
This doesn't look like a system? We should be 0 - 1 down. McAtee showing he can't shoot. Scrappy so far and as the home side we should be taking full control.

05 Sep 2026 15:02:30
Nice to see Oliver Glasner has seen the light at last on Igor Jesus. Concern, however, over the inclusion of McAtee - he has no running in him and is a lightweight 5-a-side player who doesn't take control of games.

Hope Delap opens his account today because Jesus won't score if he comes on. Need to win this home game and kick off the season as we mean to go on. COYR.

05 Sep 2026 15:43:52
Not attacking with any real purpose are we?
Ndoye has been ineffective so far...

05 Sep 2026 15:50:32
Absolutely, Rogie. No evidence of any system whatsoever. Looks to be scrappy, disjointed football with nobody with any class to hit the target. Ndoye couldn't skin a rice pudding. McAtee, awful.

05 Sep 2026 15:52:44
My brother has my ticket today at the WFCG whilst I'm suffering here in Palma de Mallorca and following BBC live text.
He says Spurs started brightly, first 15, then it's been one-way Forest traffic.
Coyr!
This is a strange experience for me, I can tell you. 😅

05 Sep 2026 15:57:02
Seen more life in a deflated space hopper.

05 Sep 2026 16:08:56
Good analogy, Bowie. 😂

05 Sep 2026 16:12:17
🤣🤣 Where it came from, I don't know. Strange how the brain works.

05 Sep 2026 16:36:55
Delap 🤣🤣🤣🤣 50 million & nearly had a shot. Pants down time again.

05 Sep 2026 16:41:11
Delap, I'd rather have Yates up front. 🫢

05 Sep 2026 16:55:08
Can anyone explain what sort of system we are supposed to be adopting???
I'm sorry, I just don't see any hint of it yet?
Very unlucky, Nico.

05 Sep 2026 17:03:37
Rogie, it's like Bruce Lee said in Enter the Dragon: "The art of fighting without fighting."
What is your style, Mr Glasner? "The art of wing backs without wing backs," Mr Bwaifwaite. 🤣🤣🤣 Absolute horror show from start to finish. 🪓🪓🪓🪓 Vitor Vitor.

05 Sep 2026 17:13:57
I've always rated/defended Murillo.
However, I don't think he's comfortable in a back 3... he also doesn't look match fit.
🤷‍♂️

05 Sep 2026 17:23:24
A systemless system, Big Larry. 🤣 An absolute circus of anti-football. The player who might have made a difference today would have been Hutchinson! Schlager, my man of the match for his work rate and involvement. Relegation written all over it.

05 Sep 2026 17:34:52
I would have kept Hutchinson, and jettisoned Ndoye.

Netz doesn't get the start, I feel he's earned. Apart from that, happy with the team.

05 Sep 2026 14:20:52
No Diamonde.

05 Sep 2026 14:27:32
I'm happy with that team too.
COYRS!!!!

Nico's staying a Red!!!!!
👏👏👏

05 Sep 2026 09:49:55
Yes, Rogie. Another one of our quality players given an extended contract. Well done, Maranakis. 😁

05 Sep 2026 13:50:52
Well, gents?
What's your predictions?

05 Sep 2026 16:30:17
You seen all my predictions, the diamond, start of season.

04 Sep 2026 23:06:28
Well, I for one am pleased with the players we brought in and think they will add quality to the side. Not worried about who we shipped out. It makes a tighter knit bunch. Wondering if OG has any U21s in mind as extra players.
Tomorrow is all about mindset and faith in each among the players. Looking for 3 points but cautious about a draw.

05 Sep 2026 08:46:57
Think we need to win. Make the City Ground a fortress again. What kept us up last season was our away form.

Heard a worrying stat on Talksport yesterday. Since we beat Spurs last December, we have won only one home Premier game.

That was Burnley.

Looking forward to us kicking on from today. Think we are playing Spurs at the right time, and a repeat of last week's performance should be good enough.

COYR

05 Sep 2026 09:16:34
If we play like last week, then yes!!!
COYRS!!!!

04 Sep 2026 19:32:29
I don't wanna see riverdancing around a ball. Or punting a ball through time. I just want hunger and a coach/manager getting a hold of the dressing room and fighting each yard of grass.
The badge was never put there an ornament. But something to cherish.
Pride. Just saying. FTID.

04 Sep 2026 20:54:23
BTID!!!
(Bowie Till I Die!!)

04 Sep 2026 22:12:03
So you want what we had under Pereira then? 😆

04 Sep 2026 22:21:16
I only look for hope my friend.

04 Sep 2026 22:30:03
Is that the same bloke that did the same thing to keep Wolves up, only to completely crash the next season? Just wondering. Maranakis wants us to go further than that, Europe every season. If you can't get on board with the plan, maybe you should start thinking about supporting a lower-league team, where you can see players playing for a manager over a few seasons and it's not full of millionaires.

Just saying. 😁

04 Sep 2026 22:37:08
And I think you should keep on selling kiss my ar#e hats outside the windmills of Skegs Beach. Each to their own.

04 Sep 2026 23:17:03
Hang on, Jay, my apologies. Picked you up wrong, bud.

05 Sep 2026 08:41:49
Don't wonder too much, Skeggs.
For the umpteenth time, VP failed at Wolves because the owners sold his best players from under his feet (most notably Cunha to Liverpool) rather than build on his survival season. Just saying.
You keep bowling those pies, mate, and I'll keep smashing them for six. 🙄
Good post, Cyclist. 👍

05 Sep 2026 09:04:34
No probs, my Geordie pal. Living the dream today at sunny Skegs. Looking forward to the match later. 😁

05 Sep 2026 09:17:52
I'm going for 2-0!!!

05 Sep 2026 11:47:04
Sorry Stokie, didn't mean to ignore you. 😁 Just been doing your usual, and if VP was that good, how come in most of his managerial career he's only stayed with a team for about an average of a year? Did the many teams he coached sell all their best players when he took over them? I think the longest he's done is a team called Shanghai Port.

🤔 Sounds about right. 🤣🤣🤣 It's probably where your messiah Dycheball will end up next. No matter how much you call me for my lack of football knowledge, as you say. At least I'm sensible enough to know Dyche is not a great coach. 🏏🏏

05 Sep 2026 13:25:19
Dds... Dychey's team beat Spurs 3 nil... just saying.... 😁

05 Sep 2026 13:27:16
VP's team beat Spurs 3 nil too……. at their place. Coyr!

05 Sep 2026 13:46:25
Sir Brian's teams never won at Liverpool. Does that mean Nuno and Dyche are better managers/coaches? Stupid argument!

05 Sep 2026 14:05:45
Not arguing, just stating facts. 🤷‍♂️

05 Sep 2026 14:16:47
Facts. 🤣🤣🤣

05 Sep 2026 15:27:19
Check it out.

05 Sep 2026 16:00:07
You'd have to break VPs career down, Skeggs. He's won 10 trophies, 2 more than OG. He was sacked by Mr M after winning the League and Cup double for Olympiakos, for example. Upset our leader by allowing himself to be headhunted by Fenerbache.

Nothing is guaranteed to upset a Greek more than losing a successful manager to the Turks.
I look forward to your fact based analysis, mate. Honestly. 😂😂 😴😴😴
😂😂

05 Sep 2026 16:54:45
Stokie, pal, I love how 1 simple word from me. Turns you into Dr Google, probably spent 40 mins googling, 20 minutes working out the essay you're going to reply with. That's an hour of your life gone today from my 1 simple word. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Living the Forest Glasner Maranakis dream. 😁

05 Sep 2026 17:16:26
Nah! I'm a bit of a geek with facts, mate. Don't need to Google. But I'd rather be right and old fashioned than wrong and funky. 😂😂😂
