I just don't really see the point of this continuing. He's not very good and no matter what happens there is going to be a very negative undertone about the bloke. People will naturally pin this on being ex Forest, and I will concede that this isn't 100% irrelevant, but I think you could also aim similar at Puel in that nobody has any enthusiasm for a manager dumped recently by a club we've very recently been ahead of. That it's Forest is adding insult to injury. The circumstances since his appointment have changed as well, not at all down to anything he's done. The players are clearly not buying in and neither are the fans. Two wins in a row but all good will gone just like that. He's got too much to do for this to ever work out in the long run and I've seen very little actual ability either. We're terrible defensively, we don't create chances and our "scored in every game" stat is a complete anomaly due to very effective finishing. Not dissimilar to the latter Rodgers era. An extremely ill thought out appointment that had potential to go very wrong. Well done again Top & Rudkin - ****ing Forest fans singing our managers name as they wipe their arses with us at our place. Just what I always wanted.

We could've gotten him before Villa got there.

This is my fear. I'm sure he went into Sunderland quite fresh off the back of a pretty underwhelming time. Just feels a bit soon for him although at the same time, if we did appoint him I'd feel quite confident we'd stay up.

The fact they've appointed Cooper makes me think this is just a bit of a myth in truth.

And Coventry's atmosphere this season isn't even good - off the back of them being a bit rubbish, so all those years of wilderness wasted. It doesn't need us to be rubbish. I'm not sure we'll quite "cleanse" the ground as people hope. We just need some proper commitment from the club towards it and I mean a bit like what Southampton have done. I'm not saying St Marys is anything special but I'd imagine theirs will pick it up time.

Losing to Brighton at home on a Sunday 2pm hahahaha

There was way too much reliance last season on the promotion and pretty much nothing new has come this year. Even for Fatawu they're singing "straight back up" ffs. Seen a few posts saying that we need a few years in the wilderness to get things better. I used to think this but I don't agree. That's how you become Stoke. You need a club and fans committed to improving it. We have neither and I think it's a vicious cycle - we have this fanbase because it's what the club want. It's not going to change without drastic changes at the club.

Our hierarchy included.

Moyes was bad last season and he had definitely come to the end of the line at West Ham but he's still a very capable manager and really not dissimilar to Forest's Nuno appointment. Just wonder if he can really be arsed with it already. I'd take Conceicao or Schmidt.

Has this bloke had a good game for us outside of Russia? Why on earth is he still here?

You might be right but I can never have confidence in these absolute clowns to do the right thing. They have utterly sabotaged us from that ridiculous 2022/23 season - so much ground lost and we'll pay for it as long as they're here.

I've honestly no idea how people can look at that tonight and point the finger at the only block truly going for it. Where was the rest of the ground? Their end was annoyingly good this year. Probably their best here.

Yes

If there's any game that encapsulates just how far backwards we've actually gone its that. We are just miles off a team like Forest now - and that is ridiculous, unthinkable probably 2/3 years ago. They were brilliant and that pains me to say it. We did well in the first half but that second half - good ****ing god. That's about as dire a half as I've ever seen from us. Like unforgivably bad.

Nottingham Forest are cooking!

Always sceptical of signings like that. Arsenal fans overhype their players more than any fanbase in England and it definitely helps them get inflated fees for bang average players.

Have to say I'm not impressed. Early days but every mitigating factor you could make for him you could aim at Buonanotte and he's doing fine - the flip side is that maybe Buonanotte is just top drawer. Game just seems to bypass him. Going to take time me thinks.

Worked for Forest. I genuinely have no idea how he does it.

He's outstanding. Brighton are doing well but I do wonder if there's the odd time even despite that where they'll regret loaning him out.

Silliest club in England aren't we.

****ing hell

Fatawu's absolutely murdered them. It's ridiculous he doesn't start him.

Just got my suit out for Russell Martin's funeral tonight!

never ever doubt Russell Martin.

Fatawu on and it pays off within minutes. Start him!!!
