Even Leeds though undoubtedly having spent more this year, aren't the most expensive budget or squad yet are top. Think we're doing okay, mid-table with an outside chance of a playoff push. I also think we are doing ok but I feel a play-off push may be beyond us. We live in hope more than expectation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad football is more subjective, but could probably be argued for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whale Eye Beef Hooked Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 In football you need hope and we certainly have that. If you follow the gas there is just nothing to look forward too. We have got lots to look forward too In over 30 years of watching the city I only stopped going when o Driscoll was manager. Horrid boring football. I didn’t go s lot on gary Johnson s style but he created a great atmosphere at the gate I personally like the football we are playing, Ok some games we don’t play well but who does every week apart from Man City It’s all about perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows if Lloyd continues his development he won’t be here for much longer, so I’m sure a head-coach like LJ and management team above him, of which you speak so fondly of will have it all sorted. As per MA on Twentyman, option to but Dasilva at end of loan. Sorted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted January 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I know, there's another LJ thread knocking about, but just wanted to add to the praise here for the manager. The unbeaten run is growing and the substitutions yesterday won the game for us. Well done, Lee. Go and pick a team to put Forest to the sword on Saturday.

reddogkev Posted January 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 I did say I would keep this thread running - I have no choice now, superstition and all! 11 games unbeaten is it and a 4-game winning streak! Bloody awesome! We love you, Lee; we do, we love you, Lee, we do, oh LJ we love you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 On 07/01/2019 at 13:18, NickJ said: What you haven't taken into account is that some of the teams "above" us in May 2018 subsequently lost players which had cost fees, and did not spend as much (Reading, Sheffield Wednesday), so their current squad values will have fallen. I don't think QPR spent any money after May 2018, so their squad cannot be more costly than £26m. Sunderland were above us in your list but no longer in our division - I doubt any of the promoted clubs have spent more. Two thirds may be too many, but I'd say definitely more than half. The essential point is that the "financial limitations" as alleged by RR is factually incorrect when measured against at least half of our competitors. I have calculated almost £30 million on the basis of only players still with us, and I think the table you have replied to has done the same, albeit the table is at May 2018 and therefore does not include sales by other clubs after that date. Saw this when looking up our Diedhiou fee. https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/squad-value-stoke-villa-leeds-2414130 Quote Here's the full list of where your club ranks in terms of market value and their MVPs... 1 STOKE CITY - Squad value £133.88m - League position 15th MVP - Jack Butland - £19.8m 2 ASTON VILLA £108.23m - 12th Jack Grealish £18m 3 WEST BROM - £94.68m 4th Jay Rodriguez - £10.8m 4 MIDDLESBROUGH - £73.98m - 5th Britt Assombalonga £10.8m 5 NOTTINGHAM FOREST - £59.40m - 9th Joao Carvalho - £9m 6 SWANSEA CITY - £58.2m - 13th Leroy Fer £7.2m 7 LEEDS UNITED £54.99m - 1st Pontus Jansson - £5.4m 8 DERBY COUNTY - £54.77m - 6th Martyn Waghorn - £4.5m 9 BRENTFORD - £46.22m - 17th Chris Mepham £7.2m 10 SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY - £42.98m - 16th Fernando Forestieri - £6.3m 11 READING - £41.94m - 22rd Liam Moore £6.3m 12 NORWICH CITY - £40.75m - 3rd Jordan Rhodes - £4.5m 13 HULL CITY - £38.57m - 10th Jarrod Bowen £4.5m 14 BRISTOL CITY - £35.69m - 7th Famara Diedhiou £5.4m 15 SHEFFIELD UNITED - £35.28m - 2nd Jack O'Connell - £4m 16 QPR - £31.73m - 11th Nahki Wells - £4m 17 BIRMINGHAM CITY - £24.71m - 8th Jota - £4m 18 BLACKBURN ROVERS - £23.27m - 14th Bradley Dack - £4.5m 19 WIGAN ATHLETIC £19.91m - 19th Nick Powell - £2.7m 20 BOLTON WANDERERS -- £17.24m - 23nd Yanic Wildschut - £2.7m 21 IPSWICH TOWN - £17.19m - 24th Collin Quaner - £1.3m 22 PRESTON NORTH END - £15.75m - 18th Callum Robinson £1.8m 23 MILLWALL - £15.37m - 20th Jed Wallace and Jack Cooper - £1.8m 24 ROTHERHAM UNITED - £6.44m - 21st Billy Jones £0.9m I don't know how much subsequent January transfers have affected this but 14th as it stands.

downendcity Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Interesting to read this from Forest's forum and in particular the last sentence. Re: Matchday 28: Martin O‘Neill‘s Nottingham Forest vs Bristol City Fair play to Bristol City. I think we saw what you get when you keep faith with 1 manager even when he`s had good spells and awful ones. The team have been through it with him as well and have seen the bad runs don`t get him the sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
