It depends what powers the regulatory body holds as to whether this is good or bad. The principle is sound; an organisation to uphold standards. But what if they have the power to stop a club from trading, or to dole out fines that are unmanageable for the smaller clubs? The fans are the ones...

I think we'd be playing 451 now if Andreu hadn't been injured. There's no other proper attacking midfielder in the squad, and that is a damn shame. We can all see the issue - midfielders too deep, and the two strikers often too far away from each other.

What we would give for them now. There are hundreds of fringe players from the past who would walk into the current set-up. Edit to add that Le Tissier is my favourite player of all time. Although Speedie ran him close. Those who are too young to remember Le Tiss should youtube his best goals...

At some point we have to hit the bottom of the cycle. Whether it is now, next season, the season after...who knows? But one thing is for sure, changing managers year in, year out doesn't help. Look at the clubs who keep / kept managers around; the extremes of Man Utd and Arsenal , Burnley...

I have two tipping points. One would be if he can't arrest the slide, and we end up slipping down to 12th - 14th at the end of the season. The second would be if he can't solve the issue with away form. He needs to loosen the shackles a little, and let them attack. Playing for draws is no good...

You know what, I actually do. It's not like we have any players on unsustainable wages for once. And sure, we may lose a youngster or two, but as long as we keep the bulk of the players we'll be ok - and if we don't hit the D4 playoffs, why would anyone want to bid megabucks for any of our...

Our two best players (on paper) have barely kicked a ball all season. How many division 4 clubs have the strength in depth to cope with that? The fact that we're still up there competing with a team of little more that journeymen and kids that are in their first season together says a lot. If we...

Fair enough.

Because Grimmer is out, not because he's first choice.

If Willis is the best right back you've seen here, then I assume you're either quite young or old enough to have cataracts. He's a centre-back who can play on the right in an emergency. Whether he's a good centre-back or not is a different question. And stop being so defensive. Christ, even I...

What an odd response.

I stopped reading at 'Willis first choice right back'.

We had an extremely unbalanced squad at the end of last season. We now have a slightly more balanced team, but there are still obvious gaps. It was never guaranteed to be a 1 year promotion given the rebuild that was needed, and imho the number of 2 year contracts we offered seem to hint that...

Imho, we started the season intending to win our home games and draw our away. 2 points per game average and we go up in the autos. We're now at the point where we need to win away to make up for lost ground, but the mindset hasn't changed. That sits with the manager. I'm a fan of Robins, but...

I got the full Spurs XI and missed Crossley, Keane and Glover from Forest. Sorry for going off topic.

Yesterday I was trying to name both Forest and Spurs teams from the 1991 FA Cup final (a random quiz question at work) and got mixed up between Tim Sherwood and Steve Sutton. And now you post this. Turned out it was Mark Crossley anyway.

I have a soft spot for Geoff Foster, based on the fact that he seems like a forgetful character from a sitcom, but let's face it, he's no Jeremy Paxman when it comes to asking questions. It's as if he's afraid of asking anything that might offend, despite the fact that he's supposed to be a...

Get the GD up a bit here if we carry on like this!
