INCRED

If we had drawn or lost then yes I agree but we didn’t We aren’t quite at that level where we can dominate for 90 and put 4-5 past teams Happy if we win every game from now until end of season if we have to do this

Win the next two and we are back in the play off race

Result = Win & 3pts Well done LM & the boys

If stays 2-0 then it worked! Maybe it gives us that extra body in midfield screening the width of the pitch as we don’t exactly need more goals

Thinking ahead and business in & out this summer, would it be a disaster if we sold Conway & Pring? We have a ready made and very good LB who would slot in to Pring’s position. Bringing in a new No9 who fits the profile we require and a No10 (Twine) would give us what is required. I do wonder if we should cut our losses with Cornick and let Wells go also and make Dire permanent which still means we probably need another striker/attacker perhaps Midfield will likely see some churn and we will be blessed with some young talented and very technically good players albeit I would like to see Williams stay as he has been very good the past 3 months now he’s playing regularly but he is also a character and leader within the squad Defence, Atkinson, Vyner, Naismith, Dickie as options for a central 2 or back 3 looks solid with Tanner as an option also First choice RB/RWB should be McCrorie and if Pring is sold then Roberts LB/LWB A lot riding on the No9 & No10 roles next season as every other position we appear to have cover and quality

Would be great if MOL pulled off a penalty save and one of the young lads scored the winning pen - if we make it that far!

Was a beauty right in top bins

Going for it now then

Ex derby player scoring against Forest will go down well

I recall we played them first game of the season 4/5 years ago and got schooled and lost 3-1. We were miles off them that day under LJ The likes of Leicester, Southampton & Leeds will always be superior to other teams in this league because of the resources available to them In realty we are a 10th - 14th team currently based on the resources we have but now and again a team can buy & sell wisely and build a team that find a way of competing and achieving a top 6 place and then get promoted through the play offs Luton & Coventry have shown what is possible and even Ipswich albeit they have started to fall away slightly my point is, there will be games where the team performs below the usual acceptable standard especially when they come up against teams in form with higher calibre players and we need to accept this will happen occasionally but over 46 games if we can average 1.8 - 2 points per game then it is possible to finish in the top 6 but many stars have to align, very much like 2008 Manning will be given time and there will be personnel changes again in the summer I used to be a ST holder up until 3 years ago and I honestly lost faith and fell out of love with the club purely because I was bored stiff watching us play and feed of scraps with no pattern of play and seeing players stealing a wage With what I have seen so far since Manning has been brought in, I feel as though we are seeing some form of playing style albeit it’s work in progress and it may take the rest of the season and the summer until we really see the fruits of his coaching and young talented players being integrated. At least now I can see a better style of football with structure and players who actually play for the shirt I may be convinced to get a ST for 2024/25 season just yet

In my opinion, the best centre forward we have had since Cheesley. Power, scored from outside the box, poacher and could bang them in with his head

maybe they know better than us and see us sweeping up a lot of talent as a good strategy as opposed to paying top £ in a couple of years and being priced out

I was being sarcastic, I’m seriously wondering if I will see us play in the Prem before I meet my maker

We are building a top 2 squad in the summer and are moving on from the top 6 squad!!

So many experts and armchair managers on here tonight - embarrassing reading the comments and meant to be supporters

Can’t be any worse second half - can we??

Need to get to half time and have a rethink because this isn’t working at all In fact is bloody embarrassing

For one so talented and getting player of the year 22/23 to signing for a random Belgium team seems a strange career decision. If he was badly advised and now hoping to get back into main stream English football than hopefully his talent will make him and us a better team. We don’t have a player like him who has raw pace & skill so I’m looking forward to see where he plays and how he adapts to our style and the Championship

Nothing on sky transfer centre yet on Bird or Mebude

Was in Man City’s set up and a very good player by what I have seen

Looked at a few clips of him playing at Man City and this lad looks a good player

100%, it can change the thought process and lose the periphery vision of what’s happening around them on the pitch The very best players channel their emotional reactions in a way that lifts their performance levels even higher Not my words but a sports Psychologist I know who has worked closely with Premiership clubs and professional rugby players

It would be a lot less versus a fee and apparently loan back for rest of the season Our midfield is going to be decent next season and I like what the club are doing by going out and buying young talented players that will not only increase in value but also bring a lot more energy, drive and ambition as well as talent

They will take what they can as Bird is OOC in the summer

I would be surprised if both went as I think Williams may get an offer to stay as we will need some experience to go with the youthful midfielders we have in the squad
