Nottingham Forest banter 7

31 Oct 2026 21:13:56
I'm going to be brutally honest, Delap is so bad its unreal, n'doye?
Had more chances than hes ever deserved,mcatee playing schoolboy stuff and Mylenkovic a disgrace atm.
None of the above mentioned should be involved next game.

31 Oct 2026 21:33:54
Not really brutal, it's honest and correct. And if, and I say if Glasner picks the side vs City, all of the above will start 100%. That's his problem, no flexibility in selection or tactics.

31 Oct 2026 21:50:28
Yes mate there lies the problem. Not just the tactics but the players he picks regardless of their poor performance week in and out.

Delap the worst along with ndoye,mcatee and schlager not far behind,mylenkovic top of the pile.

You can't carry players in a game. We are carrying half a team right now. Sangare has to start as he is the best by far in his position.

Like i said before you can't try experimenting during a premier season. Glasner continues to do that and by playing the same players with the same outcome.

Stupid ain't the word. He's signed his players and already don't play one while watching mylenkovic cost us. Persists with the rest who are bang average at best.
Ndoye and mcatee? Least said the best about those two.

31 Oct 2026 22:08:15
I get the N'doye shout but think McAtee is doing alright and I know I am not on my own in that view.

N'doye should not be picked again. Period.

31 Oct 2026 20:53:58
Just watched Glasner's press conference on Sky Sports News - Embarrassing. No reference whatsoever to team selection or system and that it might not be suitable for the players he's working with! Does anyone know which player wanted to go home on his own? Can't believe how critical he was, we were scoring far more goals before he arrived and he seems to overlook the fact we qualified for the Europa League.

No mention either of the players HE let go on loan. And no acceptance of his new start as a manager is unacceptable.

31 Oct 2026 21:00:55
His days are numbered now after that rhr
He fails to mention he has only won 5 of his last 32 games in the premier?
Would love a pressman asking how that has happened.

31 Oct 2026 21:39:51
Hypothetical question for amusement only DTP, but if you had to make a choice between Glasner and Houghton, who would you go for? I haven't included Megson as that would be too easy ?.

01 Nov 2026 01:57:50
He failed to recognise when he spoke about the problems at the club, that we stayed up comfortably, were scoring goals and got to the last four of a major UEFA comp at the same time.

He needs to go.

31 Oct 2026 20:32:56
Wow, just read Glasners post match comments. Surely he's just fashioned the nails for his coffin. Criticizing the club from top to bottom. Never bite the hand that feeds you come to mind? It's Halloween not April Fools you silly man, I'm guessing there's a big Greek fella sat sharpening his axe as I write this. ???.

31 Oct 2026 20:42:06
He only came for a payoff.

31 Oct 2026 20:46:09
Has he manufactured his own downfall, hoping to get the Utd job? ?.

31 Oct 2026 20:53:45
Theyv'e had one AMORIN mate.

31 Oct 2026 21:03:16
Put the Milan game on, even Amorin is now playing four at the back?.

31 Oct 2026 21:17:16
No mate poor league.
He got taught a lesson against Bournemouth.

31 Oct 2026 21:27:45
Still a top clash between giants of the game. Granted not the quality of yesteryear but it's great having the Italian league back on TV, especially with the old football italia music and James Richardson presenting.

31 Oct 2026 19:29:18
Has he gone yet?

31 Oct 2026 19:46:17
He's waiting for your bike.

31 Oct 2026 19:38:54
The Guardian has full transcipt i believe of OGs post match talk. It reports ‘ OG says he will change if it means success. Apparently one player wanted to travel from London on his own and OG said they must all travel on the bus.

He also said he does not care if he is disliked. Anyone who disagrees can leave'
This is in full on the internet ‘
So we shall see what happens at the weekend.

31 Oct 2026 20:20:24
Lost the changing room. It seemed to be a happy and relaxed crew when VP was in charge.

31 Oct 2026 20:26:39
Its the same scenario as under Dyche, he lost the dressing room as well.

31 Oct 2026 21:51:57
We don't know whether Dyche lost the dressing room or not DTP. It's irrelevant. But when Dyche was sacked he'd got 22 points from his 18 games in charge as I keep telling you. Super manager OG has got 6 points from 9. Go figure.

There's fishing and there's just boring and dim. Anyway, I've been saying since OG's appointment that he only took the Forest job because he couldn't get the big ones at Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd and Chelsea.

01 Nov 2026 02:01:03
He definitely lost the dressing room. He asked me where it was.

31 Oct 2026 19:35:19
Just listened to Glasner post the Brentford crap.
I will look forward with relish to see if he actually does change it. Hes living very much on borrowed time. I think he's just talking the talk.
I used travel to most away games when I lived on the East Coast.

Now I just make do with my season Ticket. Think I have made the right call there. Can you really see us getting any thing out of the next three games. Dont think so.
Marinaskas when you sack Glasner please bring back the only manager who understands the club. Vito his name.

31 Oct 2026 20:17:34
So true. VP saved us and got the team playing some great football. At the moment it's like watching paint dry. No attacking threat whatsoever, cannot see where goals are coming from with current set up and selection. Defensively its one mistake after another.

31 Oct 2026 20:30:10
Mistake was sacking edu and letting Glasner buy the players.

31 Oct 2026 18:52:35
A few facts.
We have scored 6 goals in 9 games, none of them at home.
We have taken 1 point from the last 15 available.
Under OG we have won 1 game in 10
We did the double over Brentford last season under Nuno and Dyche by an aggregate score of 5 goals to 1.
We have taken 6 points from a possible 27
A few questions.
I ask yet again, if Kalimuendo is the answer, whats the question?
What did Peireira do wrong?
Why was Diomande ( presumably a Glasner approved signing)dropped after solid performances, particularly against Arsenal?
What have Milenkovic and Ndoye done right?
Why do we have a specialist and excellent holding midfielder warming the bench and play a number 10, with little physical prescence in McAtee?
Living the. Mr M / Glasner dream. I ask again " hows it working out for y'all?

A few conclusions.
This is all on our Glorious Leader. Like a collapsing Ponzi scheme his reckless hiring and firing of managers ( even successful ones) is coming home to roost.
Look at Brentford today, a much smaller club with much smaller resources, but with a manager who ‘s been in place for well over a year and on a long term contract. They are just outside the top 5, we are adrift near the bottom.
We will need Man City to get relegated and 2 more worse clubs than us to emerge for us to stay up.

31 Oct 2026 19:02:13
We will stay up. chill out living the mr m dream ?.

31 Oct 2026 19:02:24
Thanks for those facts none of realised any of them stokey ??.

31 Oct 2026 19:05:56
Stokey Forest are imploding right before our eyes.
Glasner will walk before he gets the boot.
VP was without doubt treated unfairly like NuNo.
The irony is both Nuno and VP got the players believing and playing like a team.
Glasner has brought nothing but despair.
Marinakis needs to be accountable for his actions and realise his method of rinse dry repeat will end in relegation.

31 Oct 2026 19:32:10
Good post.

One of the reasons I like Glasner is he is intelligent and he tends to be very direct. That doesn't always lead to a happy work environment as fans at palace and Frankfurt can tell you (he can fall out with ownership / club management)

The longer term issue here - and I realize this is a negative tact - is that if we did get relegated we would most likely have a very challenged financial situation obviously. Doesn't even bear thinking about.

Has M been to a home match this season? I've only been to one so genuinely don't know.

31 Oct 2026 19:37:10
One win off 15th place
All glasner has to do is play mylenkovic at centre forward as he's in good goalscoring mood and try delap at centre back ????.

31 Oct 2026 20:09:23
It's good to see the Leicester contingent in such high spirits. understandably.
DTP your post makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I'm guessing you missed out the word "us”. But it's your post not mine. By the way, have you ever seen the film starring Arnie Swartzenegger Kindergarten Cop”?
It's like that are here sometimes except that the kids are much more intelligent.

31 Oct 2026 19:07:01
To apply a little lateral thinking, Mr M has huge ego, sacking Glasner now would him look a complete tit, is his ego too big to do this ?

I can see him instead insisting Glasner completely changes tack and sticking with him unless things get even worse.

If he's still here next week, I can see a formation change buying him longer.
CARLO.

31 Oct 2026 20:34:53
No mate, i never watched that one.
Was it something you really related to as an ex copper?

31 Oct 2026 20:40:38
Morning Mr Kimble ? I've brought you a bag of donuts, Mr Kimble ?.

31 Oct 2026 18:51:59
Post Glasner remarks!
"If you lose four of the last five games, it's not good enough. And that's why for me, it's now time that we change things, that I change things, and that's what I will do.

"I feel I could see a few things from day number one. I feel now maybe I made too many compromises in some stuff. And it's always compromises. It's a clear way. I will tell what we want to do, what we have to do.

"And if the players buy in, I think we can have a turnaround. And if not, the sixth manager will come in.

"I have no consequences. I think you see that. For me, I go home and have breakfast with my family.

"Nobody needs to have pity with Oliver Glasner. If I want, I could start in two weeks somewhere else. I won't do it. But the players, the staff, they remain in the same situation.

"And it's the same, sorry for the word, s*** situation that the club had last year. So you need to change and rebuild from the bottom to the top.

"And this is clear for me. And this is what I will do. And without any compromises. Zero, zero.

"And if these things don't work, they will let me know.”.

31 Oct 2026 18:58:41
I didn't realise you spoke fluent german ripely
Thanks for the translation ????.

31 Oct 2026 18:59:16
Interesting comments. I didn't see him speak but that's someone criticizing the wider club?

31 Oct 2026 19:07:49
Don't put a z in CAgen, the spelling police will be on it.

31 Oct 2026 19:09:21
Mock all you want DTP Glasner will walk and we shall be relegated and the laughing stock of football.

31 Oct 2026 19:12:32
Vot is your name ??.

31 Oct 2026 19:28:24
Nah, Derby already beat us to that one ripely.

31 Oct 2026 20:11:10
Seems from OGs post match comments that he's lost the changing room too. He was wrong about last season being ?too. VP had us purring.

31 Oct 2026 20:13:37
Skegs, mate, I pity you.
I thought Glasner's position would be reviewed during the next international break but after those comments I'm not sure he will be in charge for Man City.

31 Oct 2026 18:19:05
This HAS to be the team and formation against Man City next match

Sels

Williams
Cunha
Diamonde
Murrilo
Netz

McAtee
Dominguez
Gibbs White
Hudson Odoi

Delap.

31 Oct 2026 18:23:42
Youve only named nine men munmad and no striker ?.

31 Oct 2026 18:38:45
8 if you count decrap.

31 Oct 2026 18:49:38
Living the glasner mr m dream 3 nil win next week decrap hat trick ?.

31 Oct 2026 18:54:41
Three three skeggs milenkovic hat trick ?.

31 Oct 2026 18:57:49
Stop worrying OG has lost all patience with the player's he says THAT'S IT HAD ENOUGH THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE yes AI know someone else who has!!! I can feel a THUNDERBOLT COMING FROM Greece ???.

31 Oct 2026 19:31:26
The weather man says that as well jester ??.

31 Oct 2026 17:44:35
I was cautious on the season ahead l, and after 9 matches I'm loathe to twist the knife but it's game over for Glssner. I actually hope we stick with him, but it's clearly unlikely.

In my view this one is - like so much of our situation - down to our owner. I get that the manager and players deserve analysis, but our owner is at fault.

Versus Fawaz he's the ‘second coming' but if you think he is a great owner, you are wrong in my opinion. I've never felt he has much of a clue of what's he's doing or much class, and here we are.

The players have had 5/6 managers in 15 months. They are likely to get another one. In whatever line of work - let alone something like football where a coach is so key - you must get confused, hacked off and feel like it's only a matter of time before a new coach arrives. Our best player MGW must wonder what's happening most weeks.

Player-wise I've always doubted delap and saw him 4 times at Chelsea live last year. But we lost Anderson, and had ages to replace him and never did. Other teams have strengthened but we look worse.

In this league, where the new squad cost ratio rules make it ever harder for smaller clubs like us to do well (our Chairman voted for the new rules by the way), you have to scout properly, analyse everything well and have stability. If you do that you can become Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth. Even that doesn't guarantee success as Southampton fans can tell you. Do we have the structure - any structure - to achieve success?

My personal view - based on no knowledge - is we have less
to spend than of old (the summer before pre Europe possibly costing us) and we left the summer with profits post the Anderson sale

New ceo post the window closing, linked with numerous players in final week of windows as ever, 5/6 coaches in 18 months.

OG will go I guess - albeit he is a proven top manager on £13m a year. And we will roll the dice yet again, possibly going back to VP - a man allegedly sacked by email 2 mins before a contract deadline).

With the start the promoted teams have made, this could well be a 40+ point season to stay up. our luck feels likely to run out.

31 Oct 2026 18:28:10
Good post only thing is glasner picked these signings not ceo
We didn't have the squad to bring in a coach like glasner with only one way of playing
Reminds me of amorin at united.

31 Oct 2026 18:35:58
Your point on players is fair but it's still our owner driving everything. My point about our new ceo is that he was appointed the day after the transfer window closed. Doesn't make huge sense. Baffling.

31 Oct 2026 18:43:42
Yep but he actually got us to the prem and has bought the ground from the council
Our previous owners,scholar,Doughty,fawas never got near to acheiving anything at all
Yes marinakis makes mistakes,but without his backing we'd be nothing.

31 Oct 2026 18:52:08
I don't disagree that he's spent a fortune etc. But equally he needs to be criticized.

He's seemingly learnt nothing since promotion that's tangible. He helped us get promoted of course but so did Cooper and those on loan players.

Anyhow, based on his dire record with managers and general lack of structure, we will likely get relegated but this time with ever more debt and a heap of costly players/wages.

31 Oct 2026 18:55:08
Marinakis may of got us into the Premier League however his actions will cost us a place in this league.
There's only one person who's to blame for the sorry situation and it's the owner.
Yes he's funded the club to the hilt but the knee jerk actions he performs are ruthless and unethical.

31 Oct 2026 19:04:39
They won't he woll just fire glasner.

31 Oct 2026 20:29:30
Great posts Agen and Ripley.
I've said we got promoted and into Europe despite Mr M not because of him. I've praised him many times for his passion and financial support ( though the latter is loose change down the back of the settee to him) but of his 11 managers only two have been successful, Cooper and Nuno.
I also think many on here don't understand the financial model that Mr M uses.

Not quite as bad as the debt of the Glasers at Man Utd ( which stands at well over a billion quid) but it is all on NFFC. If it goes wrong, Mr M can try and sell the debt against future profits but he needs Premier League survival to have even a chance of doing this.

31 Oct 2026 20:50:47
Oh really?
I'll tell you this Mr know-all.
We ended up in League One because of previous owners.
And we have no debt and for the first time in our history own the city ground.
Over to you.

31 Oct 2026 22:01:00
What have the previous owners got to do with the mess we are in today DTP.?You've only got to look at Leicester and Derby to see where it's going.
" We have no debt and own the City Ground”

Just plain wrong on both counts. You really are Mr Pig Ignorant aren't you. I'd check your facts before you post in future.
