Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Re: BFTG Forest

Until NA is backed by the board in what he wants to do here there is little point in having a go at him. We need to wait until the mess that is masquerading as ownership gets sorted and hopefully then we'll see things start to develop as he is expecting.

Re: Nick Blackman Appreciation Thread

Did well today. The only player who managed a shot towards goal in the first 80 minutes and also some nice touches shown.

Re: Forest Match Thread - Sponsored by Halford's Nose

TBF our starting 11 is more than good enough to be picking up results Dont let the clubs propaganda fool you. Sorry, that is 12 first team players out...any team will struggle. Even the most avid critic of the management can see that is a huge disadvantage. With Brighton away up next, we need to mo...

Last forecast I saw heavy rain is expected all day long in Reading area. Expect outstanding performance earning a 3-0 lead before a half time abandonment

Re: Buyout

The whole squad needs to be changed really apart from McCarthy. Both to clear the deadwood and also to shift the big earners.

Re: Replace NA with who?

It has been quoted elsewhere in this forum that NA was not happy on Sunday with what was on display and has said the issue is largely with a central midfield that is too slow to read and spot a forward pass. If that assessment is correct then it's pretty damning for the likes of Guthrie although I w...

Re: Team for Forest (H)

Yes a big :lol: to Reading for loaning our, at best, 5th choice untried centre back out for 6 months back in July/August when we had Pearce, Morrison, Gorkss and Mariappa all way ahead of him with promises at the time of more transfer activity still to follow. :roll:

Re: Boro Match Thread

Leon - In all seriousness is this squad actually better than our current position though? Lots of them are ageing & past their best. McAnuff, Cummings, Kelly, Guthrie, Gorkss to name a few, others are acquisitions from mid table championship teams or League 1. I'm not so sure.... The squad is n...

Re: Malky Mackay?

No, not yet, we need the financial mess behind the scenes sorted out first. Then we need to see if the board can/will actually back the manager in what he wants to do.

Re: Boro Match Thread

The problems are a lack of money/investment from the board (so no change there then), players not believing in NA's methods and a manager running a squad without adequate defensive cover and who is obsessed with keeping possession over creativity.

Bid big decisions to be made in January.

Re: Boro Match Thread

Was that Pearce's 4th booking or his 5th...?

Adkins out, Mackay in, oh no there's no point in that is there, even if we could afford it, as we wouldn't back any manager at this level...
