pete 318 Posted December 6, 2020 Forest will come with a game plan which will not be dissimilar to that of Pulis. Chris Hughton needs to stop the rot expect more bus parking a draw against the league leaders will do nicely. Not for the first time this season we can expect a massed defence. Forest have looked poor in the extreme and looked dire against Reading yesterday and lost a player to a handball stopping a goal. A scenario that mirrored the experience of Wednesday before yesterday. Hughton with the way he tries to set up is strictly out of the Pulis handbook. An earlier goal would be appreciated to force them to come out to play however will be happy enough with another late show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beefy is a legend 224 Posted December 6, 2020 They’ve been on Sky quite a bit lately and have been absolutely dreadful. I doubt they will provide the same level of resistance as Wednesday did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted December 6, 2020 One of the Forest fans called Erik on our club - ‘You know, we might take the **** but there is an owner who not only is highly competent and has her club regularly punching above it's weight but who also cares passionately.We'd kill for an owner like that.‘ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time for another read - always interesting to read other supporters message boards ahead of a game, unless it’s Brentford’s where they all just think they’re too good for this league and is therefore a bit predictable. Always liked Nottingham Forest, generally a very good bunch in my limited experience, a historically big club with decent history though you don’t hear their fans bang on about it every 5 seconds unlike those sh1theads at Leeds - they’re a much more humble bunch.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted December 7, 2020 This quote from a poster on their message board made me laugh 😂 ‘We will absolutely batter them, raining down 2 shots on their goal, both off target. Figueiredo will staunchly lead our stubborn defence, restricting the frustrated Canaries to just 3 goals. A 0-3 loss and we march onwards (to league 1)‘ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCFCInnit 52 Posted December 8, 2020 Forest were champions of Europe twice- back to back- but their astonishing achievement was to do it without overseas players. Clough was an amazing manager, with John Bond once remarking: "I've heard he never does any coaching." He would tell them to get out there and do their jobs and **** off for a game of squash!
