Really happy for Forest . The 3 teams relegated from the Prem last year ALL going straight back up would have been a horrendous outcome . Really hope they get past Huddersfield !

Ex Hearts player becoming Hibs manager ??? Good luck with that one Lee . Better call Matty Taylor to borrow his tin hat ?

A bit of common sense from the bench and we could have see the game out . 1 min of injury time left and we still had two subs to bring on . Who in their right mind doesn’t use that to eek out that last 60 seconds ?

Sorry to spoil a bit of blind hatred Major but : yes he brought in an entire new first team BUT the guy did it with fifteen FREE transfers didn’t he ? If NP gets us anywhere near the top 10 next season with fifteen free transfers he’ll be hailed as the messiah !

Ladies . If your hubby to be turned up for the big day in a pair of trainers , wouldn’t you be slightly concerned he was planning on legging it ? ?

Yes he’s signed a good number , almost all on a free and moved just as many on too . I just think that bearing in mind about 70% of Gas fans were against him before a ball was even kicked , he’s shown what a hard nosed bar steward he really is ! ( not withstanding the car crash that is never too far around the corner with him )

Have to confess , I thought Joey Barton was going to crash and burn this season , especially with the court case as a massive distraction. Hate to say it but the guy is doing an incredible job on a zero budget and has given them a real chance of the play offs !! Bugger ?

100 % ! I’ve felt for the past 2 seasons that Kalas is an issue . Way too quiet and “ leading by example “ isn’t enough . We need an on field “ manager” and we simply don’t have one . Think back to the likes of Flint, Shaun Taylor , and Louis Carey . Real vocal leaders on the pitch . Beacons that the younger lads can rely on .

Very true . I’ve still got my FRT scarf with all the players names on from that day plus my Bristol City Pride of the West flag ! Even got the cassette recording with Jonathan Pearce commentating somewhere .

Nah , I’ll pick up a programme when we get to the final next season ?

Yep ! I’ve not been to the gate since Forest at home having barely missed a home game in the previous 40 years . This division has just killed my passion for the game . We can’t compete at this level under the Lansdown ownership as they simply make the same mistakes decade after decade . Just 4 or 5 years ago I just couldn’t imagine feeling this way but after these past few years football has ceased to matter like it used to ?

Surely this renders the Championship as untenable? How can it be fair for two teams to be forced to play behind closed doors at home yet face 20k crowds away ?

Can only assume that venues WITH A CAPACITY OF 10k would be the measure as you can’t predict whether 9,999 or 10,001 will turn up unless pay on the day is scrapped throughout football ! On that basis I guess clubs like Wrexham , Notts County and Grimsby in the National league will require passports whereas many League 1 clubs and maybe even Luton in the championship may not !

Just downloaded the NHS app . It takes five days for your vaccination record to pull through it seems ! Probably add a few more days to that with 10 million sports fans all downloading it !!

Guilty verdict or not , that’s now JB’s 3rd court appearance for assault with a 4th happening soon . He almost blinds a youth player, beats the crap out of a teammate and serves time for doing likewise to some guy in Liverpool . Only football could pay someone with this track record a substantial salary to manage their business in the public eye . I love the game but it really is a total cesspit at times !

Loving how Ayman winds up the opposition in an identical manner to how Grealish does it ! I really can’t recall us having this type of player in our armoury before !

I don’t agree that it’s a case of “ win or out” but it is the case that NP’s stats are even worse than Benny Lennartson over the 31 games that he managed us and he’s generally considered to be our worst ever manager . Our next 3 games are crucial and we could easily be just one place off the drop zone by then if our form continues . There will surely be a tipping point for even the most supportive fans if we find ourselves within striking distance of 22nd place over the next 2 or 3 weeks

Would love to see Saikou get some decent game time . He’s an interesting character to say the least too . Saw him playing for Nic Wanderers under 16’s not too long after he came to the the UK with his Mum . Was like watching a fully grown man knocking little kids about for 90 mins ! We really have nothing to lose giving the lad a chance !

I’ve heard that Joey has ditched the use of a “ false 9” in favour of a” false 1” . ? Exeter have only had 5 shots on target !!

All much a do about nothing if you ask me ?

This is going to be messy and drawn out I think . The club will not sack him whilst there’s a chance he’ll walk of his own accord on the grounds of Poor health . The latter option being much the cheaper option no doubt ! Expect to see CF being given the role as indefinite cover for NP in the hope that he’ll resign anyway ! Pretty sure the Sags would like to see Barton gone too but will likewise hold out to see if he actually gets convicted of either of his assault charges so they can sack him for nowt ! What a basket case this City is ?

And Mitrovic just netted his 19th goal of the season in the 16th game ! Nuts !

Totally backfiring so far . I understand not wanting to splash millions on players with our finances under pressure, BUT why oh why did we not get a couple of loanees in from the Prem like just about every other club in the division has ? Still come at a cost but just a fraction of the cost of a permanent signing . Really odd that we haven’t a single loan player to bolster the squad .

It was Dalgish’s face in the next shot that made me chuckle . He was pissing himself laughing ?

Glad you had to spell that not me ?
