Nottingham Forest banter 8

20 Sep 2025 15:07:28
Very pleased for Neco Williams, deserves it. At last he's struck a football properly and on target. Hope this is the start of more goals from him ? COYR.

20 Sep 2025 14:55:48
If we don’t concede it’s progress.

20 Sep 2025 15:54:44
Let’s hope we only concede one.

20 Sep 2025 14:43:06
I haven't posted for a while.
I hope everyone is well, that's the main thing!
As for my team!
It seems to have lost that feeling!
I'd honestly like the manager to do very well.
The squad is good for sure.
The fans! World class.
Surely Ange can feel and sense the opportunity.
Good luck Forest ?.

20 Sep 2025 14:33:58
Just seen the team can't believe Morato and Gibbs White are in!

Morato is crap and ?Gibbs White's mind is elsewhere atm.

20 Sep 2025 13:37:58
Just seen the lineup i just don't get it sangare and savona have been horrendous yet still in the starting 11 got to be honest i'm struggling to get behind ange.

20 Sep 2025 14:51:35
What team ate you looking at mate.

20 Sep 2025 13:33:06
Team to beat Burnley

Sels

Williams
Milenkovic
Jair Cunha
Zinchenko

Luis

Bakwa
Anderson
Ndoye
Hutchinson

Jesus

????.

20 Sep 2025 11:38:54
Dan Ndoye has a lot of talent and looks a good footballer and has shown he can score at the top level but his work-rate and playing intensity is a worry. One poster on here earlier posted 'I've seen more life in a trump's vest', he's right ?. I watched Ndoye the other week playing for Switzerland - he wasn't out of this world but he did chase down every ball and was more involved than I've seen him in Forest matches. For me though Bakwa has to play and gas to be accommodated in the team. COYR.

20 Sep 2025 12:21:56
Ndoye can play on the left and Bakwa on the right if CHO is off form.

20 Sep 2025 13:40:46
Ndoye seems to get involved more when he is on the left, so do expect him to switch over sometimes, not sure where Hutchinson or Mcatee are going fit in yet but are suited more to Ange' proffered style so will have to wait and see.

20 Sep 2025 09:19:49
Sels

Williams
Milenkovic
Jair Cunha
Zinchenko

Luis

Bakwa
Anderson
Ndoye
Hutchinson

Jesus


Ndoye playing at 10 Forest to win 3-1

4-1-4-1 formation COYR.

20 Sep 2025 09:32:21
One day munmad one day ?.

20 Sep 2025 09:57:43
Isn't that the third eleven you've posted in three days? ?.

20 Sep 2025 10:31:59
Probably rrh. but he could pick 20 and still not get it right ?.

20 Sep 2025 11:03:51
We, ve had managers just the same, hope we ain’t got another one.

20 Sep 2025 11:16:26
I suppose if you have been handed a short term contract you will be ambivalent about the future. Hope that doesn't seep through to the players. Some of you think it already has!

20 Sep 2025 11:32:14
I'm interested to see what team he picks today carlo but at a guess he will play the same team that got a drubbing by arsenal.

20 Sep 2025 12:23:39
What, he's going to pick the same team Nuno did when he got a 3-0 drubbing at Arsenal last season. Oh yes, it was the same one, wasn't it?

No, Ange won't pick that team.

20 Sep 2025 12:42:51
Big Ange won't pick the same team if he's got any sense.
Expect Luiz and Jesus to play.
MGW and Sangare should be warming up the bench.

20 Sep 2025 13:53:20
Luiz and bakwa in. morato and gibbs still In what does he see in morato.

19 Sep 2025 22:50:24
It's simple for me tomorrow
We either play with eleven or ten?
Sangare plays and we won't win
Hope ange has seen enough of sangare to realise that, job is to protect back four not concede pens for starters
He plays and we won't win end of.

19 Sep 2025 22:59:44
MGW s a liability as well.

19 Sep 2025 23:12:42
We know. You've been foing the same post every day gor weeks.

The dilemma Ange has. Until Domingues is fit. He has four central midfielders.

Anderson, Luiz, Sangare snd Yates.

I think we all know who the preferred two are. But they won't be able to play every minute of every game.

We have 3 games coming up in 7 days. All huge IMO.

It's a big ask to expect Anderson and Luis to play 270 minutes.

20 Sep 2025 08:39:11
Why keep playing 2 holding midfielders?
We have a big squad and can. play different formations.

20 Sep 2025 08:57:47
I’m with you DTP. All that said I’m expecting another defeat today at Burnley. Were easy to beat and have no confidence.

20 Sep 2025 11:21:02
I'm very optimistic about getting a result today, team selection and formation will need to be right.

20 Sep 2025 11:30:09
Nice to see DTP you're saying what I've been saying about Sangare for weeks ?. If he plays we lose, especially away from home. I'm not really interested in other aggressive opinions about what I post but I've seen enough football and played midfield at Nottingham boys, County boys, Saturday morning, Sunday morning and semi-pro level in England and Germany and can judge a midfield player who is too slow, can't shoot, can't tackle and for a big lad, can't head! Hope McAtee also doesn't play - he is too much of a lightweight for this type of game with too many flicks.

20 Sep 2025 13:19:18
Agree with you RHR, I never saw Sangare as a good signing overpaid for him massively, also played for many a year at a decent level and know a good player when I see one, sangare might suit a different league but definitely not the PL, not sure about the new guys yet but Bakwa does look the most suited to do well in PL. Hopefully Dominguez back soon and he can help out in midfield as Elliott and MGW played better when dominguez was in the team doing a lot of the unnoticed hard work.

19 Sep 2025 21:39:04
Something to discuss.
Who do you think was the best LOAN we had in the Cooper/ Nuno eras.
I think the worst was probably Lingard but not sure about the best. We've had some very good ones. Thoughts?

19 Sep 2025 21:59:13
You in your local and its quuz night and need a quick answer? ???.

19 Sep 2025 22:00:12
Lingard wasn't a loan.

19 Sep 2025 22:04:35
Cant think of one that impressed recently Gazz, think I'd go all the way back to Kris Boyd. ?.

19 Sep 2025 22:08:03
Wait hang on i forgot Zinckernagel, loved him?.

19 Sep 2025 22:13:41
Spence would be a fair shout I think, lingard wasn’t a loan by the way,

19 Sep 2025 22:38:59
Was Felipe a loan? He was brilliant for us in the second half of that first season, him and the goalie who won all those champions league's probably kept us up that season.

19 Sep 2025 22:39:09
Lodi by miles.

20 Sep 2025 01:10:27
Sorry. Was thinking premier.

Forgot about Spence. He was brilliant for us.

We could do with him now especially as he has proved he is ambidextrous.

20 Sep 2025 10:20:21
Keylor Navas and Lodi kept us up in a way.

20 Sep 2025 10:29:58
James Garner. Unforgettable performance in Up Periscope!

20 Sep 2025 11:39:43
Nice one Fred.

20 Sep 2025 12:36:20
And The Rockford Files too Fred!

19 Sep 2025 17:51:44
Right folks Bakwa and McAtee or Hudson and Gibbs White

For me Bakwa and McAter

Sels

Williams
Milenkovic
Jair/ Murrilo
Zinchenko

Luis
Anderson
Bakwa
McAtee
Ndoye

Jesus.

19 Sep 2025 18:39:14
One day munmad one day ?.

19 Sep 2025 19:21:58
I think he'll go
Sels
Williams
Milenkovic
Morata
Zinchenko
Luiz
Anderson
Bakwa
MGW
Ndoye
Wood.

19 Sep 2025 20:15:35
No Morato. Gibbs White or Wood imo.

19 Sep 2025 20:54:26
Munmad I'd like to see players given a chance, I'm saying I believe that will be the side?
But then again ange will be angry with one or two.
Looking forward to it and we also have to bear in mind that it's Thursday and Sunday to take into account, can't expect same players to play all three games.

19 Sep 2025 21:43:47
Your both right lol you know nothing that's why nuno won games got us to European football and you 2 didn't with your predictions long live nuno ??.

19 Sep 2025 21:50:46
Lads get on U Tube and watch "Des Walker, playing for Cloughie/ Italia 90"
Absolutely brilliant. get him signed up you lot at Sky, BBC, Prime. whoever, this guy is pure Box Office!

19 Sep 2025 22:07:38
Stop crying skeggs, he's gone get over it
And if your a forest fan then show it instead of predicting and whollowing in doom and gloom, and wanting it so you can say I told you so
That's always been your angle on forest my little fester friend?.

20 Sep 2025 06:00:16
I've always told you so? my little sheep.

20 Sep 2025 07:49:46
Here Skeggs!
Get your mate "Dougie"back in the Hot Seat!
????.

20 Sep 2025 08:33:55
I wanted Nuno to stay. however in a weird sort of way, at least it will stop Skegsjay from saying "I told you so! " Over and over again!
???.

20 Sep 2025 10:06:11
No it won't Rogie. He's only got about 20 words in his boring vocabulary so those 4 you mention will get an airing. No doubt.

20 Sep 2025 10:33:13
Hey up baldi how's it going ?.

19 Sep 2025 17:17:59
I’d bring in Abbott for Murillo. Moratorium has no pace to get back. Save Murillo for next Wednesday.

19 Sep 2025 18:51:07
Cunha for me as he has more composure on the ball
But I know it will be morata that starts.

19 Sep 2025 19:06:02
Cuhna for Murrillo, thought he did well against Swansea.

19 Sep 2025 20:27:40
Same here mate.

19 Sep 2025 13:31:07
What I couldn't understand about the other night was why the changes at 0-2. That is a crucial score, next goal changes the complexity of the game. We go 3 up and it's game over. 1-2 and it's game on. What a stupid decision and I thought that immediately.

The reserves were working well enough and starting to gel. The time to rest legs and experiment was when we put the game to bed.
That was poor game management.

I liked McAtee his calmness and vision with drive was excellent, unlike the manic panic that is MGW. I THOUGHT Yates was decent and loved that move when he dropped his shoulder and ghosted past the defender. Made me smile as I thought it was a Brazilian.

That result was devastating, trust me. We should have been set up for going to Burnley with renewed vigour and confidence. That defeat was a massive blow and the spiral will continue if Burnley get a foot in the game and score early.

19 Sep 2025 15:59:12
Rutland I love yatesy but he was shocking at Swansea, he couldn’t even manage a 2 yard pass from the kick off, the drop of the shoulder was the one decent think he did, but even messed up the end of that move, I don’t agree the result was ‘ devastating’ as the team we play at Burnley will be nothing like that team, the defence totally different, we made 10 changes, so I expect a different performance.

19 Sep 2025 16:02:32
Good to see ya rutters, and apologies to dtp and munmad. Just getting to me a bit this whole change. Off to granddaughters birthday party now. Yup Friday night. This retirement is spiralling ? COYR.

19 Sep 2025 16:19:24
The changes were to keep Jesus fresh for Saturday, to look at Kalimuendo, and give minutes to some full internationals who should start Saturday.

But trying to blame the manager for us losing when he sent out two full England Internationla players (MGW and CHO), Zinchenko (who was Man City player of the year, an experienced international, 40odd Champs League apprearances and has 4 League titles) and a £30M striker is nuts. We were winning when they went on and NOBODY would have expected us to lose with those subs.

The decision was not stupid.

19 Sep 2025 17:32:59
Red cyclist sorry the result says it was a stupid decision. Btw what was Boly doing on the pitch?

19 Sep 2025 17:47:24
Can't win being a Forest manager.
Nuno got lambasted for not making changes whilst Ange gets criticised for making them ?.

19 Sep 2025 18:51:58
Ain't that the truth Fred ??.

19 Sep 2025 19:32:09
Fred gets it. ?

The boss learned that Boly is not match fit and maybe isn't going to be fit enough to play 90 mins. I wouldn't have started Boly, he'd be better suited to Europe than against a Championship side but he's 5th choice at CB for me.

The decision to bring on international players was a poor one? Righty oh! ?

I guess you forgot your password 9 times because you're mind is as sharp as a pin too? ?


NOTE: That's called a joke. I don't actually mean it.

19 Sep 2025 21:03:06
That's a bit harsh cyclist ?.

19 Sep 2025 23:13:05
When we are all watching one game ange had to remember the next three games in ten days
I'd say he was impressed with bakwa and jesus and saved them for those games and decided to have a look at the rest the result might have backfired, but he learned a lot about his squad.
