You can choose ANY former Forest player to add to the current team, who are you picking and why? 👀

sws27015h ago

Stan the man

markmarston10h ago

Roy Keane! One of the best PL midfielders ever

markflower0110h ago

Probably Stan. Guaranteed goals. Although Psycho would probably make a great wing back in Glasners system.

Who is the most underrated Forest player of the Premier League era, and why? 👀

grahambk20185h ago

Lars Bohinen, what a fantastic player in the middle of the park. Seriously underrated!

jonny1d ago

For me Chris Wood. Terrible for Newcastle but he was sensational in a Forest shirt. Deserved more credit from around the league.

kyle.dimond1d ago

It’s gotta be Chris Wood for the simple fact that even writing this, I don’t rate him that highly as a player. The amount others delivered vs expectations, clear

Jair Cunha made his first start for Brazil! Is he the biggest talent at Nottingham Forest right now? If not, who is? 👀

stevenphillipson9872d ago

Not by a mile.he lost us the match against Coventry when he got caught on the wrong side of the ball.it was suicide.no way would it have happened if Alaina was there

dantowen819513d ago

McAtee for me. The sky is the limit the way he’s playing right nkwn

Dan Ndoye assisted twice for Switzerland during their 3-0 win over Scotland... how does Oliver Glasner get him playing like that?! Is he just not cut out for the Prem?

He is a completely different player for his country…

dantowen819514d ago

He’s never short of chances, Ndoye. Just so, so wild and inconsistent in the final third

leeclarke05084d ago

Yeah sadly we don't play against any crap like Scotland in the Premier League and he's just not cut out for it. Jesus has to play against Palace.

markmarston4d ago

International football is just totally different to the Premier League. Harry Souttar looks like Maldini for Australia but he’s been dreadful in League One for Leicester.

Tyler Morton has been linked with Forest as the long-term replacement for Elliot Anderson 👀 Give us your reaction

Is there another option you'd prefer the club to sign?

twlmurphy3h ago

Neco Williams has not really done a great job as a left sided wing-back. We are markedly short of left-sided defenders - full stop. Netz needs to start a couple of games. We need a back-up for Murillo (Morato from West Ham looks like an option). Could do with another actual left wing-back too. Can we punch Mitchell from Palace or would that be too much?

james.brooke2d ago

Has the potential to be as good as Adam Wharton in my opinion. Extremely clever footballer who learned loads from Thiago at Liverpool. Not a sexy name obviously, but he would be a top signing for any European football chasing Prem club

dantowen819516d ago

Interesting. I like Morton. Not sure he has the same level of physicality as Anderson but he’s a very smooth midfielder

Who are the most influential players in Nottingham Forest’s history and why ? John Robertson, John McGovern, Trevor Francis, Stuart Pearce, Des Walker, Viv Anderson, Roy Keane ? Birtles, Woodcock, Burns ? The list seems endless.

stevenphillipson9872d ago

Remember Peter wifth the centre forward clough sold to villa the year before we won the European title and he then won the title for villa the year after

stevenphillipson9873d ago

Every forest player ran their socks off for Brian.Brian proved to all of them exactly what you get for it

will.butcher4d ago

Stuart Pearce, all day long. Showed loyalty when others didn't, 12 years is almost unheard of these days! 88 goals from defence makes him the stand-out player, without a doubt.

Our new manager reminds me of the Sinatra song I did it my way.he’s stubborn and I believe we may yet pay for it

hughepr15d ago

We have been awful with last few manager playing a back 3. But this is what our owner wants so we have to trust. I think OG will get there and this team will get used to playing his way. For me I prefer a manager who plays to teams strengths but im ready for now to ride it out and hope for a turn around.

nigelshephard5d ago

Accepting Woodie was out last season, if Glasner is such a tactical genious why have we gone from playing with wingers with no big man up front to, playing with no wingers and having a big man

goodburnfred13d ago

He was awful on Saturday

hardstaff819d ago

Not surprised at all. Some of Forests best aquasitions of the season have been free transfers. Aurier was brilliant the season we signed him and then Aina after. The least said about Lingard the better though. Not all hits but this is a great signing. This is what we needed Fruler to be. Sangare has his work cut out for him now in the middle of the park.

🤩Jair Cunha is in the Brazil squad! How would you rate his performances for the Reds, and what does he still need to work on?

reddogg14d ago

He’s good but not on the right of a back 3 he’s too wooden and stiff he’s been exposed several times - it is no coincidence that when Aina played in the back 3 on the right we pushed forward more, Munoz had more space and we played better football….. that was not an accident it was having a solid CB with two ball playing attacking defenders either side!!

goodburnfred20d ago

Jair. Real improvement from lat season

reddogg14d ago

Glasner needs plenty of time BUT slightly worried by some of his excuses yesterday about dressing room atmosphere he’s the coach and we’d just won away at Villa - maybe changing a winning team and dropping a popular player like Aina after a great performance was a pretty stupid error and it certainly showed on the pitch Aina in the back 3 worked beautifully

❌The transfer window is CLOSED! What is your verdict on the business done by Nottingham Forest?

If anywhere, where are we a bit short?🤔

twlmurphy31d ago

I'm puzzled along with Brian in Spain as to the thinking around Morato. Love Murillo as as we all do, I would hazard a guess he'll be missing 5-10 games with injury this season. Now Morato does not maraud like Murillo but he's not as gaffe-prone as some like to suggest. He is generally solid and would have played a part. Not sure who covers.

reddogg32d ago

Morato simply wasnt good enough and we have Diomande and Cunha...... TBH now Munoz is here......... I think the logical thing to do is to put Aina on the right side of a back 3 with Milenkovic and Murillo. We need a well balanced right side and having somebody that naturally plays on the right and can step up and in when needed could by absolute dynamite

flow77craig33d ago

I think it's been a very wise window from Forest, no panic buying, no scatter gun approach like last few windows. Glasner been wise and had a good look at his squad. For me it's a GK if Sels got injured early, we woukd have serious issue. Like sound of Manadashveli from Liverpool, Big push for him, maybe another CB with Morato and Abbott leaving

nigelshephard34d ago

If we want a keeper with better distribution, how about bringing Brice Samba back from Rennes. A good shot stopper and excellent distribution, he still follows our team.

ianfharrison35d ago

My main worry with Sels would be if he gets injured. John Victor as back up, nooo! Sels is a very good keeper imo, I don't really blame him for the Leeds goal either, that was more down to 2 clowns in the wall parting their heads. But Deano would be a great acquisition and could do a great job for many years to come.

👀Could we see a CM depart if Harrison Armstrong is added to the Nottingham Forest ranks? Who do you feel is most at risk?

reddogg35d ago

Armstrong deal is dead and we are packing an exciting raw talent off to Milan…… Forest transfer team what are you playing at!!!!???

twlmurphy35d ago

Well it looks like Everyone have pulled the plug on the Armstrong deal, so no need to lose any midfielders.

twlmurphy36d ago

Would Armstrong go straight into the team? Our current options include Sangare, Shlager, Dominguez, Yates and, I guess now McAtee. Which of those would generate money: probably Sangare. He seems slightly ill-suited to the mobile midfield-type Glasner wants. But I'd hate to see him go as we supporters are finally seeing how good he is.

🤑What are your immediate thoughts to Nottingham Forest smashing their record transfer fee to sign Liam Delap?

glstark1638d ago

Didn’t think he would be any good at Chelsea but hopefully he’ll get his mojo back for us. Can see him being a good buy for us

matt.reed1038d ago

I think it's a great signing and fit well in the current style. His stats are good in a poor Ipswich side and he only started 12 times for Chelsea in a massive hi profile squad. I think he'll get up to speed quicker than our other signings have!

twlmurphy38d ago

I wasn't sure we needed a new centre-forward, reckoned Wood and Jesus could cover the position. But seeing Wood struggle against Leeds has changed my mind. Whilst I have faith in Jesus (did you see what I did there?), I'm hopeful Delap will come on from the bench against Liverpool .land make a difference.

Let Morato go in a heart beat he's useless - more worrying is seeing Milan linked with Omari Hutchinson.......... that would be ridiculous he was really good at the end of the season and him, Delap and McAtee could be very interesting. If we let anyone go it should be the absolute waste of space that is Dan Ndoye

Nottingham Forest suffer another defeat to Leeds... what went wrong? 🤔

melg39d ago

Moreira leaving doesn't provide any space in the squad 25 since he's under the age limit.

reddogg39d ago

Positioning was very poor Cunha was all over the shop except where he should / needed to be at crucial moments. Wing back approach isnt working yet, Schlager looked slow on and off the ball, Jesus was abysmal kept giving the ball away and everyone struggled to make simple 6 yard passes ---- it was pretty awful tbh lots of work needed

pwhitefoot39d ago

Only two games but losses all the same. They do make a difference because Leeds are a good compact side this season so far and had Forest beaten them their confidence would have been sky high with points in the league and future top signings fairly keen to join! Hope I'm wrong but side looking disjointed and players not grasping Glasners system.

bigpicturecrafts41d ago

Give your heads a wobble. You think we have strikers that need one goal to get going. Get real. Jesus is never going to be a double figures striker, Wood is over the hill and Kali cant even get a game. Thiago is just the sort of player weve been crying out for, for the past twenty odd years. Mateta would be ok, Delap absolutely not.

Personally I would like us to buy a strong tall old fashioned style centre forward ( woody is great but needs to be sub now) who can get up there and meet crosses from our wing backs.....Jesus is great but not in the air. Anybody agree?

bigpicturecrafts41d ago

Jesus is never going to be the answer. Fans seem to be getting sentimental about him as they did Big T. But neither are target men. We need a target man who runs at defences and scares the hell out of them. Mateta and Thiago are of that mould. Behind them have MGW and Jesus and youve got a fearsome attack,
