Nottingham Forest banter 9

So easy to pull this squad and coach down atm. So I will, (remember my predictions pre season) ok ok sorry.
1= who's happy with this bore fest?
2= who thinks this clubs moving forward with this final 3rd?
3= who thinks the WFCG had no input with the football?
4= who thinks we are gonna be in a struggle with the new signings?
5= who thinks our set pieces etc have never moved forward from last season?
6= who thinks there's no dependency on a win at home.

or laziness?
7 = who thinks the whole team have no clue or dependency moving forward with the ball
8= one of my pre season predictions mgw would get frustrated and go wide. Who agrees?
9= who's pi$$ed off taiwo left, would ya rather half of this lot?
10 = coz for me this isn't forest football, this really is a struggle.
Just my opinion reds. Sorry FTID.

05 Sep 2026 19:10:16
No. Not happy with a bore fest. Pereira was my man. Attractive footy down the toilet with a decent coach. ?

05 Sep 2026 19:12:47
I would only disagree with Taiwo, mate...
He's had his day with us.
Think Delap might become more of a threat in future.

05 Sep 2026 21:28:54
I seen a heart in Awoniyi the diamond. All I look for in a Forest player. Yeah, I know most will disagree. But heart over riverdance and lost in final 3rd. I'm amazed how money can blindside so many. Just my opinion.

05 Sep 2026 17:15:33
Early days, I know, but I'm struggling to see any improvement from last season. Hope it's just a slow start, but we look one-dimensional at present with no creativity or goal threat. I'm ready and happy to be proven wrong.

05 Sep 2026 17:08:18
My fear with Glasner is we don't look like scoring. Everything is going to be on MGW’s shoulders again, but he doesn’t have his buddy alongside him any more. I saw Delap 3 or 4 times live last year and I didn't see a lot I liked but Chelsea was a different set up/place to thrive.

OG’s teams always take time to adapt to his style - think he was winless at CP for 8 matches - but I won't lie, I expected more. I hope Mr M is ready to show more patience than his normal.

All that said, are those people who predicted top 6-8 still feeling that way?

Without Anderson, we are weaker than last year and other teams have arguably overall strengthened.



As expected, we were bidding for loads of players in the final few days of the window. Mid table established clubs like Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford (and even Leeds, who aren’t) did much of their business in the first few weeks.

I believe we will stay up but I’m ready for another bottom 6 finish….just the way it is.

05 Sep 2026 17:00:08
Third game of the season and I think we might be trouble this season. Yeah, I know it’s very early, but I’ve not seen anything to suggest we have what it takes to have a good season. MGW seems below par so far.
Ndoye is pretty much useless, and fouls more than not.
Only bright sparks were Macca, Aina, and Schlager for me. I do think DeLap will come good.

Woody I think has run his race in the last couple or three seasons.
2 corners to their 10 is disgraceful really.

Overall we couldn’t keep the ball in the second half, some sloppy passes and attempted tackles.
Ref was awful in the second half literally blowing for everything, especially where he thought Spurs were fouled. A game to forget.

05 Sep 2026 17:33:10
No goals in 3 home games is worrying.

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.
