I think Robins was trying something by putting Dabo at centre back. He was marking their number 17 who looked lively in the first half. It didn’t really work because Dabo can’t really head the ball and got caught on the wrong side of his man which lead to a Forest half chance. DaCosta wasn’t...

It worked quite well today, if he’s a solid enough defender it’s an option worth having. He’s a player we want on the ball higher up the pitch!

It’s been reported that Messi alone generates 31% (or thereabouts) of Barcelona’s revenue. Why would anyone who is that valuable to an organisation do it for free or on a contract that doesn’t reflect their contribution. Barcelona have only got themselves to blame. They have systematically...

Enjoyed the game today! Thought Forest deserved the lead going into HT. Most of our ‘chances’ were nearly moments without a real chance. We looked to win the ball high up the pitch and we did that quite well. Got caught napping for their goal and it was a good finish. Dabo playing CB is not a...

I like that the last two away kits are a throwback to historical kits. However, two kits that are same, but different colours seems a bit of an anticlimax since we were told it was ‘a bit’ different. To me, that suggests a new design not a new colour. That said, Hummel have given us some bespoke...

Soure does also have abad injury record which no doubt would be a factor when signing a player on a tight budget.

We have the best pressing CAM in the league and Waghorn is a pressing forward, we’re clearly making that tactical tweak. Personally, I think it’ll be effective and hopefully we’re difficult to beat in a similar way to Barnsley were last season. We really do need the 2-3 signings Robins is...

Meanwhile, we needed Biamou to play 34 games last season. It’s area we need to improve because Godden has struggled with injury. Walker and Gyo are the two long term strikers and Godden and Waghorn probably won’t re-sign I do think a lot of people are discounting Rose, he finished the season...

100%. Our forward options are much improved. With Godden’s recent injury woes, we really did need 2 strikers this window. Without making the signings, we’d be left with Walker as a lone option. Something that is understated so far is that (so far) we’ve kept all our best players that are...

Last season we started with Giles as our sole LWB. Robins has said he wanted 4 more signings. Since then, he’s signed one LWB. So why don’t we wait and see what the squad looks like at the end of the transfer window before pressing the panic button. This window has been tough on everyone...

I maintain that you’re being paranoid. Waghorn over the last 4-6 seasons has scored 10+ goals in all competitions. Barring last season. Robins clearly has a plan for him and the squad. We have a recruitment model we have still largely stuck too. We’ve signed Gyo and Bright as permanent...

My email was a booking confirmation, so I’d guess the e-ticket will arrive in a few days?

Personally, I think we will and I’m sure Robins does too.

Anyone can say what they like about our recruitment, but I’d rather be in our situation than theirs. Then you’ve got clubs like Derby, Blackburn, Swansea and Reading who are all significantly weakened over the summer. We’ve got a good young squad so players like COH, Hamer, Sheaf, Walker, Gyo...

This reflects a lot of teams in the championship going into the new campaign. About a third of the league are yet to sign more than 1 player after releasing a lot more. Obviously we’re all focused on our team, but we seem to be in a better situation than a lot of clubs. Forest finished below...

Waghorn is a striker and we favoured 3-4-1-2 last season.

They’re cutting back a lot and not really replacing players who have left. 21st does seem a bit low. A lot of clubs are in a worse position than us in the transfer market.

We still have a young team? COH, Bright, Walker, Sheaf, Hamer, Rose, Hyam, Shipley, Dabo and Gyo off the top of my head. That’s without mentioning our younger academy products like Bapaga and Burroughs et al.

How do you define finished the season? I’d say the final 10 games or so and that was our go to line up. Despite battering Millwall, we had a slight drop off from our prior 3 games as we lost to PNE and drew to Huddersfield of the back off of a 3 winning streak

Obviously, Kelly got injured.
