Blue and white

I think we can safely assume this one will go through, no danger of being beaten to this signing

I've found a positive, majority of Brighton fans wouldn't take Potter back, but every Forest fan would take Cooper back. 🤔 Also he's at least he's achieved something in English football, promotion at Forest and winning the U17's world cup

Any remember Gary Megson's pre match speech when we got him in similar circumstances?

Are there any other heavy metal football managers out there like Klopp?

Kasper wouldn't have let in either of those goals today

I think our back line is slow enough as it is 🤔 Souttar is a backs against the wall defender, not in a high line defence. Similar to Cannon really, both mid table Championship at best and we overpaid big time for both, don't be fooled by the price tags only we'd pay.

It's a problem with most of the players we brought in this season, none of them apart from the two wingers are particularly fast. Doyle, Akgun, Cannon, Casadei, Coady are all slow and seem heavy legged.

Spent the entire transfer window waiting on one player we can’t sign

What do they expect, no ones going to pay millions for a crock (apart from us). If they keep him he'll spend the rest of the season as an unused sub and leave on a free anyway because no chance they renew his contract if he stays.

Can we cancel the winter break and bring back cup replays now

I've never understood why are we allowed to take risks in our own third, but as soon as we approach the half way line or god forbid pass the half way line we must turn into such a risk-averse team.

Bayern win the league 11 years in a row then Kane turns up

Any reason why commentators insist on calling Fatawu Fatowell?

You’d love to play against Iheanacho as defender

Maresca is the Italian Gary Megson

Three number 9's on the bench whilst a number 10 starts as the number 9.

I doubt we'll see anymore than 1 or 2 leave and the same for coming in. We can't seem to multi task.

I can imagine

Just in a mard cause his mates not here anymore to stick up for him.

It's not like we didn't know either four years ago that the Rodgers/Congerton combination was not to be trusted in terms of recruitment and yet the club fell hook line and sinker for it.

Just hope it works, that sort of team minus the goalkeeper gives you hope we can get back to where we were

I'm far from Iheanachos biggest fan but how can you ignore his record in the cup competitions, its night and day compared to the league.

My research tells me he was part of one of the worst Schalke sides in their history as they were relegated with 16 points and -61 goal difference. Is this the experience Rodgers is after?

If you’re going to play Soumare today surely you give him some minutes against Stockport

I think we've been lucky and not really had any real direction since Pearson left. If we look at the pre season of when we won the league, ignoring Fuchs, Okazaki and Kante which were Pearson/Walsh targets we signed Benalounane on the same day as Kante. I know he became a cult hero but remember on here everyone having a lot of doubt this signing and for good reason. Inler was another who we were linked with for weeks and all we had was negative feedback that he was finished, we still signed him and he was expectedly poor. Both being signings from Italy, I believe these were Ranieri signings and nowhere close to good enough and up there with Rodgers signings of Vestergaard and Bertrand in terms of clearly bad moves that the club went along with. My point is we have been bringing in obvious duds going back this far. We signed Demarai Gray on the back of a pre season goal against us the following January and then Amartey. Fast forward to the disaster of the signings made after the title win, all of whom failed. Ndidi signed in January which was the first success in about 18 months. Summer 2017 under Shakespeare we signed Maguire, Iborra, Iheanacho, Silva - an improvement on the previous year but only Maguire could be considered a success. It was during Puel's era where the core of the team that made top 5 was purchased. Ricardo, Evans, Maddison were the positives, but we followed those up with Ward, Ghezzal and Benkovic. Then finally Soyuncu. A mixed bag but more successes than not for once. Puel left us with Tielemans on loan as his last signing. I think you can see the idea with these signings unlike the previous years, although once again we let the manager bring in an obvious dud - Ghezzal. Rodgers started well with Justin but then we come to Perez, Praet and Bennett during his first year who didn't work. In 2020 we sign Castagne, Under and Fofana which was decent but still left us with glaringly obvious problems out wide. And then Daka, Soumare, Bertrand, Vestergaard, Lookman. After Rodgers 3 year reign and having signed more than previous managers, we’ve only 2 or 3 Rodgers signings in the starting 11.
