    Goals Forest match.

    I agree, been saying this for the past few months. I don't think we have bad individual defenders but for the majority of the season I have felt the selection has been wrong of the back 4. We probably have among the poorest full backs in the league with Christie and Clarke (out of position) at...

    Do be fair to Thorn he attracts good loan signings...

    I didn't mean specifically you, you are not stupid surely you get my point about how Nimely was a good piece of scouting by the club and Thorn?

    Do be fair to Thorn he attracts good loan signings...

    Correction our team would be amazing if SISU hadn't sold the majority of them for $$$, or if SISU had stumped up cash to reportedly sign some of the players we could have. Nobody gets it right 100% of the time, we have been stripped to a few good players and with all the duds scouted like...

    Do be fair to Thorn he attracts good loan signings...

    It isn't Thorn's spot as in he didn't bring him to the country but that isn't what scouting is just all about. Thorn rejected loan strikers coming in because they weren't fit or they wouldn't suit our style of play which shows that a player won't be coming in unless he will fit into the side...

    Do be fair to Thorn he attracts good loan signings...

    I was just going under the assumption that if other championship clubs were interested he wouldn't have picked Coventry over them. :D

    Do be fair to Thorn he attracts good loan signings...

    Success at lower divisions is not equal to success at higher divisions, if he was that easy to spot why wasn't there a que of championship clubs wanting to sign him?

    Do be fair to Thorn he attracts good loan signings...

    This isn't football manager though, great in the lower leagues does not = good in higher leagues as you assume with Westwood and Keogh, good scouting isn't just about plucking unknown quantities from the abyss. It is about getting the right players who will fit into your squad and style of play...

    25 more points needed to stay up, can we do it?

    I understand that, I am just stating if we manage to get to 43-45 points i.e 18-20 points from the last 14 games then we will have had a good end to the season in terms of results/form Didn't say that would be enough to stay up though, no way we will reach 50 points. :laugh:

    If we get 43-45 points we will have had a good end to the season.

    Millwall v Middlesborough tonight

    Yep for the players to not be motivated for the game against Forest was criminal, we can blame managers all we want but the players let the manager down on Saturday.

    Baker

    Thorn isn't under pressure though is he, the majority of fans have no expectation and the board/owners can't care enough to set expectations. Yea if we have a bad start to league 1 then he will feel pressure. Everyone accepts that he has been left to dry by SISU but his away record is diabolical...

    McSheffrey in the Oak Sunday night/Monday morning

    I understand both points of the argument, if it isn't a regular thing I wouldn't be to worried. Disappointing it is after one of our worse displays of the season. If this was Eastwood, Bell, Baker the pitch forks would be out.

    How big does a squad need to be?

    Wait so you are writing Bigi off after 10-15 games and only 17-18 years old? Gael is probably the most naturally gifted out of all the younger players and just needs to be managed correctly an definitely has shown he has the potential to make it.

    How big does a squad need to be?

    I would say you need around 18-21 first team team players then you have your youngsters on top and you should be ok.

    Isn't Baker SHIT?

    I agree comments just calling him shit are unneeded and pointless but you asked "I'm unsure why we can't say nice things about our players." This is an unfair comment, on the whole the majority of fans praise the team and individuals when we play well and equally so criticise when we don't...

    Isn't Baker SHIT?

    It seems to me Baker come into games later on, for most of the game you just have to stand up to him and not dive in and he doesn't have the pace to get around you. When it gets into the last 10 mins and it is 0-0 or 0-1 scoreline the opposition start getting tired, nervy and desperate. The...

    Isn't Baker SHIT?

    Struggling to say nice things about any players on the forest performance, the only player that would deserve some credit is Murphy which has been mentioned.

    For what it's worth ....

    Think some teams are scheduled for Tuesday night games this week.

    As our crossing was so bad abd usually is ....

    The thing is also Bell and Sheff do have decent crosses on them, it is just most time there crosses are lazy swings of the foot without any prior thought.

    Lets be fair though the majority of players were nothing short of a disgrace. This was our best chance to move out of the bottom 3 since like September, for the players to not be motivated and put in such a poor performance was criminal. I realise it is the managers job to motivate the...
