Gabriel needs to get 4 goals and keep a clean sheet.

Brentford look like the team top of the league though.

Agree, I've captained him...

Impressed with how well they're defending, no space at all

Great article in the Midlands Gazette on Dyche.

Pretty brutal tbh, but a very accurate summary of how he`s carefully created his own myth and how the crazy Greek gangster at Forest fell for it.

People seem very quick to forget, that as well as getting Burnley into Europe and very quickly out again, he also relegated them twice and was in the process of taking them down again, when he got the boot.

Forest have a squad that cost almost 450 mil. For the first time ever, he had a squad at his disposal, where he didn`t have to play survival mode footy every single game, but he just doesn`t know how to play front foot footy, so he reverts to the one and only way he knows how to play, low block and hoof it up to a grock up front.

Playing low block footy for ninety mins every game, no matter who you`re playing, whether it`s home or away and then blaming everyone and everything else when it goes wrong, was always going to end one way.

His footy makes your eyes bleed, that`s the best way of describing it.

If Parker goes, expect to see him rock up back at Burnley.

He`s the last of the dinosaur managers, who`s made himself a multi millionaire from never deviating from his one and only way of playing footy.

I've said on here before but his record in his last 18 months at Burnley was abysmal, relegation form and it continued at Everton. Your points totals would have seen you relegated in other seasons.

From that long throw the players actually moved towards the ball rather than being planted like ours our

I'm not sure. He was working as a pundit not that long ago. He was co commentator for our first game back at the CBS.

Yeah he has which I probably wrongly suggested is the only reason he's in the frame.

Just had a look and it sounds like fun and games back then as well. Was only there 6 moths, fell out with Maranakis over transfer spending then got sacked for speaking to Rangers having just won the double lol

I hope it goes tits up for them big time which is a shame as I think Nottingham Forest is a terrific, big and proper football club - But in my opinion Marinakis is a dangerous man who shouldn't be involved with football in this country and I thought they pulled a sly and dirty trick on Crystal Palace last summer as well

It has been an unmitigated disaster this season, teams who have 4 permanent managers in a season have all the hallmarks of a side that will be relegated and I don't think too many would be sad to see them go

Won't pretend to know much about his managerial career other than being at Juventus but seems a fucking rogue choice. Could backfire spectacularly.

"BBC Sport understands Tudor's experience of making an immediate impact at previous clubs was a contributing factor to his appointment."

They never had a chance realistically. Makes sense to bed players in now for the Championship so they can hit the ground running next season.

If we do go up this season, not looking forward to games like this (Arsenal, Man City etc.,) such a boring game to watch where the smaller side just never look in it, never have the ball, and the bigger side are so boring and safe to watch as well.

It almost looks pre arranged. Wolves agree to not put up much resistance, Arsenal agree to keep the score down.
