Major Isewater Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 How will this affect us ? In the long run I dont think O’Neill will take them up but we will be facing a different animal on Saturday due to the famous ‘ dead cat ‘ bounce . Still we can win it .

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Will make it harder for us Saturday. In addition to the new manager bounce, the fact that new manager is a former player hero, returning as manager...crowd will get a big lift.

I don't have the stats but it feels there haven't been so many 'bounces' this season with new managers. Thoughts? Didn't we win there a few years ago? Chris Wood penalty?

Fat Cigar Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 We won at Forest 3 (?) seasons ago. 2-1. Flint with the winner from a corner. Forest were bang average. (Just checked): Feb 27th 2016. Looking forward to my second trip there. Score first, silence the crowd etc. The usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To balance that, you have to remember that this is a man who once spent 8.5million on Nigel Reo-Coker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true- but Forest's FFP means he won't be able to spend (on average players) right now. I'd be surprised if he takes them up this season though.

ScottishRed Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Not appointed yet - but a number of sources suggesting it is imminent. Be interesting to see if Roy Keane, himself an ex Forest player - joins him as Assistant Manager. O'Neil has a strong reputation of not spending much time on the pitches at the training ground, so very old school in that respect. His choices of Assistant and First Coach will therefore be crucial.

It’s also nearly 6 years since he was a club manager. The game has changed an awful lot in that time. It’s an interesting appointment that could easily go very wrong, imo.

All this "new manager bounce" is just a fallacy, I read some stats (a couple of years ago), and the win averages were no different than normal for a new manager to get a win. With their massive defensive problems they are there for the taking, with or without O'Neill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Cigar Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 For those of you who know these sort of things, what are their 2 defenders (Fox and Darikwa) like who got sent off Sat and should be suspended (assuming nothing gets rescinded)? Good news for us? I see Grabban's been on the bench recently too, which is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did overall rather well there, but made quite a few duff buys too, in the mid-range price range. At a time when it was feasible for a Villa to break the top 4 and build on it.

Eddie Hitler Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I think it's bad news for us that this has just happened as there is bound to be a short term reaction form the players. I am intrigued as to how this is going to work out; he was an excellent manager back in the nineties but that was a long time ago and his record since is best described as patchy. It looks like a rose tinted appointment which Forest are known for after keeping Brian Clough when his days of brilliant management, and they were, were many years in the past and he had become a liability.

Given the club rivalry with the in-laws (and wife) I would have been gutted to see Jokanovic go there. He’s who I would have liked to replace LJ.
