johnny the fox Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25817568 Well they have tried everbody else.
The Blur Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Henderson,Mackie,Miller,Tudgay,Cox,Derbyshire,Blackstock and Sharp (if he is still there) and this! It is getting to be a bit of a joke. If I was a striker I won't want to join as it look like they are unable of providing service for their strikers!
ousefox Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Would be a bloody good signing that. Class at Championship level but not quite a prem forward after seeing him quite a few times last season.
Craig Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Add Halford into the mix too. Beautiful footballing side.
Harry - LCFC Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Been poor for a while. Not expecting much from him in the Championship. Nugent, Vardy and Wood all ahead of him.
AKCJ Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Good signing IMO. If he can hit the ground running then he'll do really well. Big if, but he's scored goals at this level before.
C-man Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 If only Billy Davies was backed by the board! They'd have a right decent side if he was. Fvcking cretin. Good signing, mind.
Richard Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 That's now 10 distinctly average championship strikers they have now (maybe a little harsh on Cox, Sharp and Graham). I doubt any of them are on low wages, e.g. Derbyshire who I believe was signed whilst we were chasing him under Sven? They really are gambling on this idea that FFP can't be implemented, which is a dangerous route to take. Pearson and co. are doing things must more sensibly (and more successfully)
Harry - LCFC Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Sharp isn't a Forest player anymore, plays for Reading.
SystonFox Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Sharp isn't a Forest player anymore, plays for Reading. It doesn't matter. Let's pretend he still does cos it makes it easier to laugh at them
Guest ttfn Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 One good season in the Championship or 4 good games in the Premier League? Congratulations you've earned a contract at Nottingham Forest!
FrankieADZ Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Henderson,Mackie,Miller,Tudgay,Cox,Derbyshire,Blackstock and Sharp (if he is still there) and this! It is getting to be a bit of a joke. If I was a striker I won't want to join as it look like they are unable of providing service for their strikers! so Forest are like the grim reaper for Forwards then.....
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 To be fair, this is a good signing, imo.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Henderson,Mackie,Miller,Tudgay,Cox,Derbyshire,Blackstock and Sharp (if he is still there) and this! It is getting to be a bit of a joke. If I was a striker I won't want to join as it look like they are unable of providing service for their strikers! Only Mackie is decent from that list, excluding Sharp considered he left fvcking ages ago. Graham is a good signing, he'll do well.
RedHux Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Mackie isn't a striker. Neither is miller, Derbyshire, Tudgay or Halford. Blackstock was broken by Leeds and Henderson is a red card/gbh charge waiting to happen.
Dan Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 And after all this I'd still take our attack over theirs.
SystonFox Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Mackie isn't a striker. Neither is miller, Derbyshire, Tudgay or Halford. Blackstock was broken by Leeds and Henderson is a red card/gbh charge waiting to happen. Is tudgay still at the club?
RedHux Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Is tudgay still at the club? Yep. Not that he's troubled the first team for a good while now. We've sent him out to Barnsley a couple of times but they keep sending him back.
SystonFox Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Yep. Not that he's troubled the first team for a good while now. We've sent him out to Barnsley a couple of times but they keep sending him back. My next question was simply going to be "Why?" But you appear to have answered!
RedHux Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 My next question was simply going to be "Why?" But you appear to have answered! It's been the same with Miller, and despite Billy's attempts to put him in the shop window by bringing him on we can't seem to give derbyshire away. halford up front works because he'll run all day and Andy Reid can land a peach of a cross on his massive noggin at least once a game. Cox works because he runs and runs and has good football intelligence and brings in the three that play behind him. If this graham chap can do both and be able to shoot we're onto something good.
The Blur Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Mackie isn't a striker. Neither is miller, Derbyshire, Tudgay or Halford. Blackstock was broken by Leeds and Henderson is a red card/gbh charge waiting to happen. Not sure what you meant? I have heard that Mackie can play out wide, Tudgay seem to be more of a false no.9 and I know Halford is not primarily a striker but I am certain Derbyshire and Miller is traditional strikers?
RedHux Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Mackie is much more of an attacking midfield type. We play him on the left side of three behind a solitary front man. Tudgay is very much a '9' as opposed to a false nine. Halford is certainly just a tall defender with bags of heart putting himself about a bit up front and miller and Derbyshire are barely good enough to be called footballers let alone forwards.
