I would say Man City Away myself or Arsenal at home again to catch both on the hop, or even Man Utd at home or away to catch them out early on before they get settled!
I would say get rid of Wood despite price but still take the hit rather than getting rid of Dennis who I thought was dreadful to start and in the middle too but then by the end of the season we need to get him working as he did near the end of the season who was good and a wonderful goal with that keeper lob late on. Let's give him a real chance again.
I love the Adidas away Messi , oops Argentina kit top which looks really fresh and clean, I love it! ❤️❤️🔥
O'Brien could be part of the deal to bring Adams to the CG!
Lovely football fix for Monday. Temps is BRUTAL as ever😊
Looks like Saiss and Che Adams will be the first in followed by Matt Ritchie and Paul Dummett
I'd get rid of Neco Williams, Mckenna. Worrall, Toffolo, O'Brien, Gibbs White, Freuler, Shelvey, Surridge and Wood. Replace them with ten better players and a new manager and it's job done.
Need to sign Keylor Navas, keep Horvath and put a bid in for Renan Lodi
Play Dennis up front with Scarpa and Danilo behind all season and he'll score loads
Forest refused to pay £13m for Houssen Aouar, but didn't attempt to sign him for free? Would've been a massive upgrade on Gibbs White
Sacking Steve Cooper and appointing a competent foreign manager should be Forest's first move. Need a manager who selects players based on ability
Wood for Rodrigo swap deal. Send Wood back home to leeds. Win win swap
Magpies definitely saw us coming with those 2 😂
Nottingham forest played a version of hurling before football. Shinty locally called bandy I think??
Hurling "is very violent, an interesting sport" – Matt. Yup, that's about right. John, Irish Forest fan
Bonkers idea 1:
Kalvin Philips on loan 🎉
Bonkers idea 2:
Tasos Bakasetas (greece captain and leading striker. 29 yrs old) on a 3 yr deal🎉

Who have I forgot?
There were times last season where individuals disappeared in games. Sometimes we had multiple players per game disappearing in the middle of the season. We cannot continue having individuals disappearing.
o'Brien should be our Yates cover who is known for injuries.
I’m with Mikey on Scarpa – I see him on the left or in for MGW if/when needed. Would like to see him do well and certainly over Dennis.
I would play Scarpa as LW or as cover for MGW. Never rule him out, apparently he is way more talented than Danilo. He can also be cover for Johnson.
How about getting Ian Storey Moore on to remind everybody Forest had a great team BC (before clough)
Personally I don't think Scarpa is good enough. He's touching 30 and would have been signed long ago by a European club if he was the business. I genuinely believe Gnonto should be our number one target on the left. The young lad is a dribbling destroyer!
Big questions have to be asked who was responsible for forking out £19m on wood and that relegation liability Shelvey
I noticed that Man City are looking at buying someone to replace Gundogan, therefore what do you guys think of Forest having a cheeky punt at trying to buy him. I realise he is possibly out of our usual wage range but I still think he would be an excellent option despite his age. What do you think? Would love to hear all your opinions on this idea. He would definitely be a statement signing for us!
We were well f***ed with Shelvey
There was 2 very telling moments after the Arsenal game, 1st was Cooper's very worrying comment when interviewed which was "I think the possession game's had it's day hasn't it?" and the 2nd was Surridge's utter detachment from proceedings when walking round the pitch. Something not quite right with Surridge, what was his comment when he signed "I just want to be somewhere I'm loved"?. I think he can play, but maybe not at Forest unfortunately.
Absolute quality as per usual ❤
nice one fellas
I think you all need a good woman in your life then you wouldn't need to talk about football in summer. Failing that cricket.
I'd also like to move on Gerg. A man who misspelled his own name and although funny at the time and expecting irony with a razor sharp wit then realised his mastery of his first language, English, is less than I'd expect.
Sam Surridge has taken 7 shots in 20 matches so far in the Premier League 2022/2023 season. Of the 7 shots, 2 shots were on target and the other 5 shots were off target. That means that Surridge's shooting accuracy is 28.57%.
Let Worrall go wasn’t burnley interested in him. We need to be more ambitious with new players
Sell McKenna? Are you mad? Both Bolly or Worrell should be gone before McKenna. Worrell is not a premier league player. Him or Bolly should be the first centre half’s shipped out for upgrades.
O’Brien needs to be given a chance, I’d keep him and move out Freuler
Scarps is an excellent player, he just needs game time.
Dennis been good for us when he started and is class on the left hand side. I don't get fans agenda against him.
Cooper out. Scarpa, Dennis and Biancone should always be in the first 11
Really enjoyed this. Don’t get the obsession with Surridge though, not good enough for this level in my view. But hey, that’s opinions
Scarpa is the best passer and has fantastic vision, should be in the team.
How many goals has Surridge actually scored off the bench?
I’m sorry, but I have a problem with this down talking players. Painting them like "enemies." Fx I did not get any good impression of Shelvey’s interview. But still that doesn’t say anything about him as a player and his first minutes as a sub …he showed us something we needed. Something we really needed. Long skilful balls reaching its target man. I also think he tried to work so hard that he was a bit unlucky in defence. He didn’t have much time to get the flow of the team either.
What Freuler done for us also seems like you forget like goldfish brains.
Yates could not grow into a PL player without Freuler as his next man. In fact Freuler was securing for both Yates and Williams in a lot of games. Then at last when he was suppose to be more free play his own style thinking about himself, he was given the armband when the team needed someone on the field to be demanding. (Worrall wasn’t on the pitch and I’m not sure he got the prestige or capability to be wrecles demanding either.) Freuler did. And that can have made him unpopular in the wardrobe but lifting team spirit. And if you look at stats Freuler got some of the best statistics in the team this season. Passing and tackling.
But I understand if maybe Shelvey or Freuler "isn’t for the future.” But they worked their ass off for us and deserve civilised behaviour from fans or are this club going to grow into a gang of bullies?
I noticed a shift in the supporters mentality after we got one more year in PL. Don’t let that go to our heads and become toxic and unattractive. We can’t afford that. If we want the best players. We need to treat the players that is leaving respect. We need a good inspiring environment. Not down talking, negativity polished as "cool one liners."
Newcastle fans talked very good about Shelvey look at where Newcastle is on the table. (Is there a reason for that good position? Do they have a good atmosphere in and around the club?)
There’s always going to be some duff signings but players like Ui-Jo and Dräger are a farce!
Why is there so many adverts on the Spotify version???
I was speaking with a well known Forest player two days ago who himself is waiting for his future to be decided in this window. He described Dennis as the most talented player at the club and someone who needs to be given more game time.
Congratulations chaps. No Fletcher again 👍🏼. Volume off, for his useless TV commentary 🙉
