    January Window

    Soppy - I hope it’s not a case of nominative determinism. We’ve already got a couple of full backs who can’t tackle. McKenna has been a very good player for us and I think might be up to PL with more time. Interesting move for him; I’d have thought there’d be interest in the Championship and...

    Brentcelona vs forest sponsored by mitigating circumstances

    I think it’s fair comment that Turner is not wholly to blame for Toney’s goal. But to risk sounding like a dinosaur, as a goalkeeper you need to have big balls and be relentless with your defenders about their positioning. Neither Turner nor the Greek lad (nor Horvath from what we saw in the...

    Brentcelona vs forest sponsored by mitigating circumstances

    I can think of many keepers we had in the Championship who are better than any of the four we’ve got on the books at the moment.

    Brentcelona vs forest sponsored by mitigating circumstances

    Got to agree that we need better than Turner. Not sure what happened exactly with that free kick but the communication between keeper and defence looked poor. Yates looked frustrated with Turner. I don’t come away from that game too depressed - at least we showed we can create chances with a...

    Prediction league game 24 Brentford v Forest .

    1-1 I respect what Brentford have done as a club but think the mentality of their fans (at least online) is self-righteous to the point of being quite tinpot. I’ve gone for a draw but desperately hope we beat them.

    Blackpool v Nottingham Forest FA Cup Replay

    I think it’s very harsh to write off CHO after a handful of games. I think he’s put in some performances that have been decent even if he’s not living up to expectations of him as a youth. He looks like a guy who needs the confidence that can slowly come from a regular run of games.

    Aguilera should take confidence from that contribution. He just needs to remember he’s beautiful, no matter what they say. Words won’t bring him down.

    FA Cup Match Thread: Nottingham Forest Vs Blackpool, sponsored by Colwick water monitoring station

    In one of the Reservoir Red Dog podcasts (possibly the one with Dyche), Paul McGregor mentioned how highly rated Lee Glover was as a youth player. He had the kind of profile BC liked in a centre forward: he could receive the ball, turn quickly, play into midfielders running through. To be fair...

    DJed Spence - did we dodge a bullet?

    He’s 22 but frequently capable of decisive moments within games. That makes him pretty special at that age in my opinion. Most young players don’t have that composure. The transfer fee is in part a reflection of his potential. I thought it was a good deal for us but not extraordinary given what...

    Any Spurs fan already writing off Brennan is a moron.

    The reaction save from the Fernandes deflected shot was incredible. I think that’s the first time I’ve understood his reputation as a shot stopper. I also thought his handling was pretty good. But unless Nuno thinks he can improve Turner’s composure with the ball at his feet, we need to...

    You’re right. Deepest apologies to Gary Holt and Gary Jones. Not sure who’s got the bigger insult though that mix up.

    Nuno Espirito Santo

    Norwich supporters were so taken with Gary Jones’s workrate they called him ‘three lungs’. By the time he got to us, he needed an iron lung.
