If he blows hot and cold chap he would have been an ideal signing in the days of the TAP chap.I dont suppose we signed the wrong bloke by mistake?
Like his predecessors, he's inherited a bloated, unbalanced squad and he's clearly been tasked with getting rid of players, but has also had to bring in signings to try & navigate a route to safety.
Another tranche of players are out of contract this summer, Hughton will then hopefully have a chance to shape the squad - if we stick by him.
He inherited a side with no confidence that was haemorrhaging goals, couldn’t score and looked odds on to be relegated.Managers dont have a right to rebuild the side, thier remit is to work with what we have, improve the football, results and the players, it isnt fantasy football and CH doesnt have 5 years to change 2 or 3 players a year to hit the target.
He inherited a top 7 club with a dozen additions yet we are far worse than a year ago, he hasnt improved any players, he hasnt solved the lack of goals and his transfer targets have been less than inspiring. After suffering years of shit football I want to see some good football, its got to a point that Id rather see that than the play off's. Give me the u23's all playing, over achieving, playing good football and finishing 16th over this every time
What makes you so sure that the U23s squad would over achieve, play good football and not get relegated finishing rock bottom? It's a romantic idea with absolutely no substance or sense of reality to it.Give me the u23's all playing, over achieving, playing good football and finishing 16th over this every time

That last episode of Informer was incredible!!"What makes you so sure that the U23s squad would over achieve," the voices in his head.
And when you say there is no substance; I'm guessing there is, but not the kind you are referring to.

Theres many reasons, they are a 'team' who are taught well, have good management, good recruitment, good work ethic and a good style of play, producing regular talent. I don't really understand why anyone would think they'd struggle in relation to our disjointed badly run first team of lets face it, mediocre players.
On another note, It doesnt reallly make sense paying for a manure 19 year old when we have BJ who could be doing that job and is one of our own players. BJ is young and inexpereinced we say then stick someone elses young and inexperienced player in there who is no doubt costing more money

Someone should tell the BBC that street lingo isn't just exactly the same as non-street English with 'bruv' on the end of every sentence.That last episode of Informer was incredible!!
Exactly - everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it's a doomed strategy.
U23 football is obviously very different to playing League Football - Championship, L1, L2 etc. Lot's of players look excellent at u23 level & below, but fail to meet the rigours of truly competitive games that matter.
We played nice tippy/tappy football under Warburton but were small & weak, losing 19 of 37 games.... the Championship is a physically demanding league and whilst some teams, Brentford notably, play some great football - they also have physicality when needed.
Forgot about Da Costa, but i think he's doing well in Belgium and should be easy to move to that club, or elsewhere in Europe. Freeman send back now.Cafu deal is probably more about the loan player restrictions than anything else... Although I agree the 2 and a half year deal raises question marks. Why we would want Carvalho back is beyond me though. He hasn’t been doing anything useful at Almería has he? Chalk that one off as another signing that made no sense - a record fee for a player who’d only ever played in Benfica’s youth team.
Best work done for me is getting Clough, Guerrero and Darikwa out. Long list of bodies still to shift in the shmmer - Hefele, Bong, Dawson (to join Reid in U23s?), Bachirou, Jenkinson, even Arter if rumours about his attitude are to be believed...
I also worry we’ll get stuck with Da Costa and Carvalho again and find ourselves unable to shift them...
Freeman - massive disappointment and definitely looks overweight at the mo.
So you'd ask Johnson, who has been playing as an ATTACKING MIDFIELDER/NO 10 for Lincoln (read, minimal defensive responsibility), scoring goals, assisting their attacking play and generally doing very well, for Garner has had 20+ games for Watford this season, and is an DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER.
If you meant Johnson should have taken the place of Krovinovic, fair enough. I happen to think PK has shown some ability in his two games....but each to their own.
Also, one other thing...when Derby played Chorley (who, essentially, play in the "5th" division) in the Fa cup, they were soundly beaten by their illustrious opponents.
This Derby side were made up of the kids, and even against semi-pros were outclassed.
If, for some reason CH lost his marbles and did as you suggested, Forest would probably lost every single game they'd play.
