    Porto v Forest

    Why does it matter that Pereira has lost to two Europa sides at home? We beat them under his management over two legs? Which is what we needed to do? You think it’s poor management on his part that we trounced Fener 3-0 at their place and could then afford to lose 2-1 at home with a weakened...

    Sweet relief. Lose this one and it just aboht puts their chances of the play-offs to bed.

    Porto v Forest

    He’s just one bad result from being crucified by Pope. I think the rest of us are fine tbh and recognise that he’s done a pretty good job in the circumstances and improved morale across the board. PS - I really don’t think you can claim Dyche had the likes of Bakwa, Cunha et al firing. He...

    Porto v Forest

    I think if we could carve out 5 years of stability (putting this year of 4 managers in a season behind us) and get the new stadium built - maybe THEN we could dangle a lucrative 5 year contract to a manager in the top tier. But if we stay in the league it’ll be Pereira or maybe Silva. If...

    Porto v Forest

    😂 I can’t believe you’ve even written that sentence. Fenerbahce at home, a game we lost by one goal and would have drawn had Jesus or Hutchinson buried their one-on-ones… that’s as bad anything you’ve seen since promotion? We all know you’re stubborn but that’s just delusional. Except… he...

    Porto v Forest

    Come on Wolfie. It wasn’t just that and you know it. 1) context of who were playing in Wolves, Palace, Leeds. 2 points from those games. VP’s only comparable game is Spurs and we battered them 3-0. 2) deteriorating performances, morale; ostracising millions of pounds worth of talent. 2) and I...

    Jesus’ goal *should* have stood as well. Pereira’s interview post match worth a look - he said he wondered what would have happened had Porto scored that goal…

    Porto v Forest

    'Apart from that'. Apart from the shite performances and dreadful man-management, Dyche was an excellent coach. It's incredible that out of sheer pride you're still waxing lyrical about someone who mustered all of 2 points from Palace, Leeds and Wolves. VP has taken 3 from the one relegation...

    Porto v Forest

    Great point! I’ll just check the table. Oh wait - we’re a place higher in the league. And we’ve progressed further in the cup. Please keep your razor-sharp analysis coming, I don’t know what we’d do without it.

    Absolutely wild.

    Porto v Forest

    Do you have an altar to Sean Dyche in your living room? Brighton aside, performances have improved across the board under Pereira. Have you genuinely not noticed that? Or are you just too proud to admit it?

    Porto v Forest

    Bakwa’s best performance for us? Not saying he was amazing, to be clear, but signs there’s a player there. Ndoye - really struggling to see what he offers, unfortunately. He’s had a lot of chances under various managers and I reckon he goes in the summer regardless of what league we’re in...

    Porto v Forest

    Happy enough with the result. A draw away, having rested key players. Also thought Igor's goal should have stood. Performance-wise though, we ought to have lost that one fairly comfortably. Porto created far more. Only Ortega and their finishing kept it level. Still... onwards and upwards etc.

    Porto v Forest

    Because he’s a dreadful player and has played dreadfully seven times out of ten throughout his Forest career?

    Porto v Forest

    Well… utterly absurd and at times woeful defending. But dare I say it, looks like we’re maybe, just about, kind of, half getting into the game now?

    Porto v Forest

    But haven’t Abbott, Bakwa et all to some degree earned their shot after showing up in Denmark?

    Porto v Forest

    Feeling bafflingly optimistic about tonight actually. Maybe VP, and open training, and back to back wins has got me kidding myself. But I think we win this one. Similar team to FCM, expect those players to show up again for us now they’ve been brought back in from the cold. Wish Morato...

    Leeds or West ham? Who do you want to win?

    I think pretty good result all told for us? 120 mins and penalties, all for WH to still lose, and at home. Leeds will go out in the semis.

    Well before my time I’m afraid.
