Nottingham Forest banter 9

14 Mar 2026 15:47:37
Kalemuendo scores again.

14 Mar 2026 16:36:51
He will because he's not playing for us. ? Shote, when he did play for us.

14 Mar 2026 17:28:46
He was never given a run of games.

14 Mar 2026 17:49:08
That's because the manager didn't rate him on the training ground, and when he was given minutes he was scoring goals in an easier league.

14 Mar 2026 17:55:25
Skegs, Lucca, or Kalimuendo? Who would you rather see running the channels for us? Enough said. ?

14 Mar 2026 18:10:31
Skegs, the Bundesliga is not the SPL or the Ligue 1 in France, it's a decent standard and depth, with some big clubs. You talk out of the place you should be sitting on.

14 Mar 2026 18:46:12
Here we go again Mr angry.can't finish a sentence without snapping my little croc ? and rrh neither there both rubbish

14 Mar 2026 19:02:05
Skegs, enlighten us on your vast knowledge of Kalimuendo. How much have you seen of him to write him off as rubbish? What games? How many minutes?

14 Mar 2026 19:24:32
My vast knowledge, Stevie, is I listen to the manager that works with him. He played minutes off the bench. He worked with him every day, training. Obviously he wasn't good enough to make first-team games, he was a bench boy for a reason.

What makes you think you have a better knowledge than a football manager that worked with the player every day? Is it the FIFA manager you play on your Xbox.

14 Mar 2026 19:37:41
How about Keinan Davis or Sam Sturridge? Couldn't be any worse, and £40 million in the bank too.

14 Mar 2026 19:50:03
Skegs, which manager? postecoglu? dyche? What did they tell you? I don't actually remember Dyche or postecoglu commenting on him publicly, did you get a, phone call? It's odd that you were calling Dyche clueless, and now your backing his supposed opinion of a player, Strange that when kalemuendo was given a bit of game time he scored a couple of goals, was Dyche also right about cunha, not playing instead of morato as well,? perhaps your a closet Dyche fan after all.

14 Mar 2026 20:22:20
Come on, City!!!!
Find a way!!!!

14 Mar 2026 20:39:26
If I remember rightly, Stevie, you wasn't a Nuno fan. How's that working out for you and your pal dtp. ?

14 Mar 2026 20:40:47
City are there for the taking tonight.

14 Mar 2026 20:52:29
Kalimuendo was a joke in some of the games I watched. Particularly in one Europa League game, he came on with a point to prove, and the ball kept bouncing off his shins. His basic ball control was laughable. He wasn't fast enough either to make up for it.

14 Mar 2026 20:55:46
I wasn't a Nuno out. It's classic, Skegs, you change the subject because you've made a tool of yourself regarding Kalemuendo, cos you've no clue how good he is or not, and you've lazily labelled him rubbish.

If I remember rightly, the only comment Dyche made was he wasn't quite up to speed, but then he also said that about Douglas Luiz, who's started every game since he's been at Villa. You and Dyche are both clueless. ?

14 Mar 2026 21:34:03
??? Stevie, how easy it is for you to forget things, but expect others to remember. The little bits I have seen of Kalubendover. He's in a team and a league he belongs in, pal. If you want to get excited about the few goals he's scored in a rubbish league, that's up to you, pal. ?

14 Mar 2026 21:47:04
Skegs like I said clueless, a league's that's produced world and European champions and you call it rubbish, ?

14 Mar 2026 13:53:24
Anyone else here absolutely sick of hearing that there are positives to take from our recent performances?
It's about time the players take responsibility for the lack of goals. Our chance conversion rate is appalling. Read somewhere that in the last five home games we had eighty nine chances/shots and scored one.

We rely too much on MGW scoring this season, and that says it all really, as most of the time he couldn't hit a barn door with a grand piano fired from a trebuchet at ten paces. CHO, Hutchinson, Sangare and Ando have to step up seeing as our current forwards are basically just loading up MGW's trebuchet. ?

14 Mar 2026 14:28:36
Pereira had the worst win ratio and goals scored record in the top 5 leagues of all European football when he was Wolves boss.
In the time he has taken Forest, guess what. He has exactly the same - the worst win ratio in all 5 levels of European football. Obviously the stats are for permanent managers.

He isn't the answer to lack of goals. We have had 4 managers, none of whom could solve the problem.
Players aren't good enough. Recruitment wasn't good enough. In fact, recruitment has been miles off. Since we lost Ross Wilson, we have made some shocking signings.
That's why, sadly, in my opinion, we will be relegated.

14 Mar 2026 14:40:35
I still believe we will stay up, but I will go the difference, and I can see a split decision on the cards. ?

14 Mar 2026 14:45:37
**But it. ?

14 Mar 2026 14:49:14
This manager isn't good enough - see if I'm not wrong, but the crowd will turn tomorrow against Fulham. Fans are sick of paying through the nose to watch players shanking shots and bottling chances. He's probably a lovely bloke, but he hasn't got the minerals to alter this period we are going through.

Every team seems to score against us from the chances they get. On the other hand, we can create 10 or 20 decent chances in a game and can't take one.

14 Mar 2026 14:58:31
Cheer up, Frog, those brethren of yours are going to batter England tonight and take the Six Nations crown. ???

14 Mar 2026 15:09:51
Think we will win tomorrow.just my opinion folks.
Also why does that slob Littler have to slag us off???

14 Mar 2026 16:06:39
Come on England later!!

14 Mar 2026 16:22:48
Would love us to win, Rogie, but just can't see it. ?

14 Mar 2026 16:34:42
Ya never know, mate!!!!

14 Mar 2026 20:50:44
We're giving it a bloody good go, Rogie. ? ?

14 Mar 2026 10:11:20.

Aina

Mgw

Awoniyi

3-5-1-1

Subs Gunn Hutchinson Jesus Lucca McAtee Morato Netz Yates.

14 Mar 2026 11:06:17
Sunday even. ?? Forgot Hudson Odoi as a sub.

14 Mar 2026 11:07:25
One day, Munmad, one day.

14 Mar 2026 13:59:11
I'd give Aina a rest and use Netz. Never use Abbott, he'll be outrun and outplayed. I'd also use Yates first half and give Dominguez a rest. Cho needs to be on the pitch, Hutch to sub him second half.
This will not be an easy game by any means, can't say I'm looking forward to it at all. A loss and we face the drop.

14 Mar 2026 14:44:01
Please, not Abbott. He'll get eaten alive by Fulham's experienced forward line. Four at the back, two wingers/inside forwards. Take the game to them, and pray we can score. ?

14 Mar 2026 16:55:24
And Morato won't. ??

14 Mar 2026 17:28:49
The hints in the four at the back brains. ?

14 Mar 2026 06:49:03
We should have held on to Jota Silva, he clearly loved playing for the club, he always put a shift in and scored goals when he had his chance, he could have been someone we could have played as a striker in the situation we are in, and maybe could have chipped in with a goal or 2.

That's all we needed Thursday night and since Woodies injury. Igor Jesus looks so tired.

14 Mar 2026 10:02:57
Good shout that! Go and get him back for the rest of the season. He's got a better hairdo now aswell. ?

14 Mar 2026 10:40:43
He'd be even quicker if he shaved those eyebrows too. ??

14 Mar 2026 12:40:16
He was a lively player and always gave his all, but was lacking quality as well. I don't think he was our answer.
The European game was crying out for Woods, we still have a good chance of going through, but we never make it easy.

More importantly, we need a good result Sunday!

13 Mar 2026 19:31:09
Bakwa is awful, a terrible signing. He even got tackled by the ref!

13 Mar 2026 19:43:05
Send him BACKwa ?? Edu out Pereira out COYR.

14 Mar 2026 06:19:54
I said I'd wait to give my option on Pereira after getting hammered for calling out Dyche & Ange as useless. Well, I've waited, & he's useless as well. Just get rid. What a disaster of a season, & it's all down to one man, Big M.

14 Mar 2026 07:57:55
I agree with Larry. Big M needs to stick to what he knows, shipping, and get somebody in who knows how to run the football side of things.

14 Mar 2026 08:07:38
Big M did well with Olympiacos - though, I must admit, he's tried the continental style of ownership here, which perhaps doesn't work too well. I think the manager needs to choose players, not a director of football. The manager knows the deficiencies of the team.
Huge game tomorrow. If it continues to be Nottingham Forest nil, we are doomed.

14 Mar 2026 08:23:19
I said a while ago that Mr M had set a chain reaction after the fallout with Nuno, and one bad decision after another has happened. He needs to get control of the club again. He should have stayed with Dyche till June, and I think we would have survived. Not sure now. VP seems a nice bloke, but he's struggling to use the players to their best abilities, and can't produce a goal from our strikers, with only a handful of matches left.

He's under a lot of pressure. I would play Hutchison and MGW as twin strikers with a back 3 and Sangare with Anderson, and bring the others on later in the game.

14 Mar 2026 09:17:56
Jester, I didn't like Dyche, and we will never know whether he would have kept us up or not. It's the same argument some are having with players we have loaned out; would they have made a difference? We will never know. But, apart from getting rid of Nuno and bringing in Edu, the biggest mistake, and I think the stupidest mistake Mr M has ever made, was listening to 5 players, which 3 or 4 of them will not be with us come summer, stay up or not, was to ask their advice whether a manager should be sacked or not.

Daft. End of.

14 Mar 2026 10:48:51
Yes, Agent Larry, 5 games is plenty of time to assess isn't it mate? ???
I have a very uneasy feeling that Mr Silva will provide an object lesson to us tomorrow on what a manager can achieve in 5 years, given time and a well run, stable club to operate in .I hope I'm wrong but you certainly are .

14 Mar 2026 12:30:13
I've never been wrong yet, Stokie. My record is impeccable. ?

14 Mar 2026 17:13:03
Larry. ???? ?

13 Mar 2026 17:00:45
Just reading down. One poster, (well done fat man) which for me shouldn't have been shown. I mean really. This man's passion is unbelievable. Not like he's paying out minimum wage with chips. Get your heads out. Makes me sick this game we are supposed to love.

Again, remember lock down and nobody helping lower clubs, what do they do. They feed the little kids with more money than sense. Really really annoys me. Big m doesn't play chim, he just keeps on giving. Pathetic the lot of ya.

13 Mar 2026 17:49:15
You gone bit early tonight, mate. ??

13 Mar 2026 18:22:38
Referring to last night's result. I'll quote Clough:
"If anybody's daft enough to write us off."
Well, they're right to. Not a hope in hell's chance of turning that round.

13 Mar 2026 18:41:01
Stripey, it's the frustration of our players. I get fed up with it, bud. The money man just keeps on giving.

13 Mar 2026 19:28:16
Not all of us, Bowie.

13 Mar 2026 19:37:07
Actually, my apologies, Perko. ? Just running my heart on empty, bud.

13 Mar 2026 19:46:51
Bowie, I'm with you - love Big M, and people should realise where this club would be without him. Where do you honestly think Forest would be playing under a different owner? He's the lifeblood of our club.

He's made mistakes - we all make mistakes in life. Edu was the worst, but that's for history now. Thank you, Mr M - I may not follow anymore, but in all honesty, you saved our club. You really did.

13 Mar 2026 19:50:29
Well said, Froggy, my friend. ?

13 Mar 2026 19:59:46
I get your frustrations and I'm with you, brother. ?

14 Mar 2026 16:06:19
Cheers Perko, bud. ?

13 Mar 2026 15:32:52
Gets better and better, I hear Fulham's Harry Wilson is going to be fit.

13 Mar 2026 16:58:43
Yes, such a shame! On the plus side, Ndoy is sadly injured also lol.

13 Mar 2026 17:12:50
Tbh Keef, I'd hate to see Robin Hood in, just green tights running about Iceland, mate? As for Friar Tuck without a hat, we're effed.

13 Mar 2026 22:29:45
What's wrong with me in green tights? I wear them to Tescos, not Iceland, so you are all save on that account. ?

13 Mar 2026 15:06:58
Thank you for all the kind words chaps, they mean a lot. Dylan Thomas being quoted on here, I am deeply touched, Stokey mate!
One of my best memories on this planet and in my life, I got to see Brian Clough's battlers in the flesh. I got to see a Forest side who could attack slow or attack at speed! Some great wins, but Man United away, we won 4-0 at Old Trafford, could have been 6/7 nil.
So I've had a very long time supporting Forest, first game I was 8, in the Trent End, behind a girder - we lost 0-1 to Oxford, a night match! I've supported them ever since, home and away!
So some great memories to take with me, but not this season, this one is forgettable in every way!
With regard to Fulham at home on Sunday, I want to see big Taiwo up front, CHO and OH supplying the ammunition.

MGW playing behind Taiwo as back up. Anderson and Sangare breaking up the midfield and supporting the back 4!
Please VP Do not let Marato onto the team sheet or the pitch!
COYR.

13 Mar 2026 17:06:56
What kind words? Buy one get one free?

13 Mar 2026 19:48:24
Bowie, mate, read down. The guy is pretty poorly. Love you all. ❤️

13 Mar 2026 20:07:14
Don't worry, RedFrog, mate. Some people have no hope of redemption in life!
We keep smiling while they grimace with every breath!

13 Mar 2026 21:15:20
From my own experience Keeff, you need to set yourself goals for your own physical improvement. Write them down, from the simplest of those goals to achieve to the hardest, from 1 to 10.

For example, and I know it sounds pathetic now, my first goal was to be able to wear prosthetic legs sitting down for 4 hours. My second goal was to walk around my kitchen on those new legs holding onto the worktops.

Hopefully you get the picture.

Then, work through your list with grit, determination and passion. You know all about those traits as a Veteran! To start ticking off achieving your goals in rehab, I found a massive help both physically and mentally.

13 Mar 2026 21:26:46
Cheers, Lego, mate. All this stuff does help! I walk every day, do physio every 2/3 days, treadmill when the weather is crap!
Plus, I throw my radio at the wall every 4/5 days listening to the Forest commentary! I've been banned from the TV for swearing too much lol.
Cheers.

14 Mar 2026 18:13:36
I do apologise keef, asked the eds to delete this reply. Sorry sir.

{Ed001's Note - sorry only just seen it.€}

13 Mar 2026 15:04:38
I feel just as low as everyone else on here.
I watched in my local pub up north and my fellow locals who mainly support Leeds or Middlesbrough were actually laughing at our abject clueless attempt at attacking.


I might upset a few on here but I think Jesus and Lucca are two of the worst players ever to play for us. Every bit as bad as Silenzi, Dias and Eaden.

13 Mar 2026 16:39:54
That's you feeling robbed, Gazz, bud. Don't beat yourself up. As for Jesus, I think the laddie has potential. He works hard, just needs someone like Wood to guide him. Just my opinion. And you keep chanting for the minor leagues, sir.

13 Mar 2026 17:34:24
Jesus can be a good player. Clearly, no confidence in front of goal. I reckon Lucca is depressed or homesick, as he might not be a footy genius, but no way is he as bad as he's looked. Stupidly risky signing, when we needed some experience up front for the run in.

13 Mar 2026 17:53:02
Homesick, he was staying at Butlins for Taylor's sake, only been there a week.

13 Mar 2026 13:40:02
We will lose our “big guns” (Murillo, Anderson, MGW and perhaps Sanghere) anyway if we go down? What do we think?
Actually, it’s probably irrelevant what we think it’ll be up to our hierarchy whether we go for broke ….

13 Mar 2026 17:40:18
I think we will regardless whatever situation we're in.
