TIL 1010 4,657 Posted October 9, 2018 I am wondering when the '' any stick to beat the club '' brigade will turn up kc. [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,352 Posted October 9, 2018 My point about Teemu Pukki was in reply to the point already made on this thread that Grabban was better than our strikers. How come that didn''t make your list Kingo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,456 Posted October 9, 2018 Because you didn''t actually bother trying to debate their merits- just said ''he''d be really worth a thread.'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,352 Posted October 9, 2018 Ok, I thought I did. I mentioned his stats in the reply to the Grabban stats. I also posted about his record against us since he left and the fact that he scored against the binners. If anything that put meat on a very bare opening post. Which posts were more on topic than mine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,456 Posted October 9, 2018 Actually thats fair- I''ve paid too much attention to your final line and not enough to the actual content. Shouldn''t have lumped your posts in with the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,352 Posted October 9, 2018 No worries Kingo. The other post made me actually look up Pukkis stats and I was amazed by how many games he has played since the start of last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,156 Posted October 10, 2018 FWIW about Grabban, the local paper in Nottingham has a few comments that their winger called Joe Lolley is their standout player at the moment, scoring one and setting up the other in their win at Boro. So it''ll be interesting to see how he does against our fullbacks.They also have a certain Daryl Murphy in their squad.All in all, Forest are a well funded side at the moment who''ve just broken into the top 6, with a manager we know all about (Karanka) and this could be a real measure of how far City have come.

Woodman 92 Posted October 10, 2018 With Karanka and Farke in charge of both teams, its unlikely to be a 5-4 thriller... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,352 Posted October 10, 2018 Grabban has returned three times and those matches have produced 16 goals so never say never Woodman[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonzo 198 Posted October 20, 2018 Forest are a decent side and the home team in this contest which puts the pressure on them to secure the win. Grabban is a good player but we shouldn’t be fixated with him. Forest have plenty of good players as do we.This game is a hard one to predict. We certainly have the capabilities to take something here if our players perform as they are capable of doing particularly if we continue to be difficult to score against. Having been held back so far Rhodes is certainly going to be busting a gut to have a impact on the game. This should be exciting stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,657 Posted October 20, 2018 Funny how you took a couple of hours to post which for the avoidance of doubt was aimed at Lakey just minutes after Grabban scored. Mind you it has attracted nearly a full house of who i suspected would be replying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,352 Posted October 20, 2018 Did I hear the Norwich fans singing "Grabban what''s the score,"Surely not. Disgraceful!He who bumps last.....🙃🙃🙃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,657 Posted October 20, 2018 I have just seen you are winning the Super 6 by a country mile so you get in all the bumps you like while you can. [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,503 Posted October 20, 2018 Thought his movement was very good as a lone striker, something he always done well for us too.But he hardly had a sniff in the second half and our CB scored twice as many goals as Grabban! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
