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

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
♥ 1
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.

How impressed have you been with James McAtee in his new position this season? What is his ceiling? 🤩
He feels like a new signing!
dantowen819516d ago
Very good! Didn’t see this coming at all either. I wasn’t sure he had the physicality for this role.
♥ 1
markmarston7d ago
Love James McAtee - been a big admirer since his Sheff U days. Wand of a left foot and has potential to play for England one day

Morgan Gibbs-White and James McAtee are among the best English players for chances created this season 💪 Will this help Forest find form after the break? If not, what will?
freddie7d ago
McAtee will cook!
stevenm27058d ago
Chances? As useful as XG. Put it in the net please.
stevenm27058d ago
10 mins? Tuchel another England grifter. Zero clue, never winning anything with this German clown. IMO.

Give us your assessment of Nottingham Forest's season so far! Are you behind Oliver Glasner?
stevenphillipson9872d ago
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

Morgan Gibbs-White makes the England squad. Can he make the inclusion stick long-term?
Cole Palmer's decision to stay home is surely good news for MGW!
nigelshephard13d ago
If he gets a start it might nust be the best break England could have had.
tom.procter13d ago
Should have been in there in the first place, just as he should have gone to the World Cup. Hope he smashes it and makes things clear for Tuchel
♥ 1
markmarston13d ago
Tuchel clearly doesn’t fancy him so he’ll have to outperform everyone else to get another chance after this… be difficult

Should Oliver Glasner now drop Dan Ndoye from his starting XI after drab Coventry performance?
stevenm27058d ago
Glasner making excuses already? Pereira found a way. Hope we don't regret swerving him.🙈

Forest sign 18-year-old striker Michael Noonan on a free transfer - give us your instant reaction 👇
Ajax and Benfica were circling, but the exciting Irishman is coming to the City Ground in January!
dale.odonnell18d ago
Manchester United were linked to Noonan last year. He almost moved to Germany a few months ago. Certainly one to keep track off.
amirmir20d ago
Great talent. Very good technique, and a promising start to his career. Played in Europe. Very interesting to see how he progresses under Glasner.
♥ 2

Are you surprised by the impact made by Xaver Schlager? Especially considering he cost nothing!
noeljcotter11d ago
He should have been subbed at half time and mc atee they were struggling
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
david.newton196420d ago
👍 well done lad there’s more to come I think.
I wish pereira was still our manager were back where we were last year
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

glstark1625d ago
Yes give him chance

leeclarke050825d ago
There's no saying that's how it'd have panned out though. Way too early to be writing Glasner off.

🤩What are you most looking forward to when it comes to the City Ground redevelopments?
👀All eyes are on the 16th September...
reddogg14d ago
It actually happening and believing it when the main stand is actually demolished
goodburnfred20d ago
Getting a season card
david.newton196420d ago
About time but I think 50000 I a bit to much. 43,000 would be great.

🙄What do you make of Mark Clattenburg's comments that the disallowed Forest goal vs Tottenham should have stood?
Is it time for the handball law to be changed?
melg25d ago
I guess the ONE against Liverpool makes up a bit from the dozen or so that have gone against us.
charlesjones26d ago
All time stupid decision. Can’t stand referees and the way the game is officiated
jameslloyd14.jl26d ago
Fully agree, I’ve still not seen an angle where it conclusively shows there was a handball

🤩What is stopping Lamin Sillah from making the grade at Nottingham Forest?
He's off the mark in L2 for Gillingham!
glstark1623d ago
Yes give him time he’s only young bit of experience in the lower league then give him a chance in the premier league and if he’s good enough then we have another good young player to sell
leeclarke050827d ago
Probably staying in the Premier League. Always going to be hard for young players to breakthrough in the top flight.

🤔Can you see Zach Abbott featuring regularly for Nottingham Forest in the future, or is the contract extension merely to preserve his valuation?
Let us know your thoughts!
ads.miller32d ago
I’m sure he will ! Going to a championship club that should be pushing for top 6 will only help him .

george.patten32d ago
Think it’s probably just to secure a bigger fee in a few years, but decent business nevertheless

leeclarke050833d ago
I can't see it but the new contract is great news. If he smashes it at Southampton we can sell for a decent fee.

❌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
♥ 1
brian04inspain32d ago
puzzled why morato went and abbott out on loan where's the cover ?
I hope they get James Garner. He was great in The Rockford Files.
davidberryman69310d ago
⁰ooliver glazner is doing a good job. He needs to get more from the players and the midfield is to slow to help the two up top

🕰️Dean Henderson? Lamine Camara? Who takes your fancy as a new Nottingham Forest signing on deadline day?👀
janne25gus33d ago
It’s very easy because Dean Henderson is for me already a Forest player. I take him every day of the week.
♥ 1
old_j0433d ago
Lamine camara
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
Nottingham Forest are eyeing a late move for a new goalkeeper, but what are your thoughts on Matz Sels?
reddogg34d ago
Fuming that we've let an exciting 22yo in Hutchinson leave for Italy (Milan clearly know what they're doing) and are looking at 31yo Jacob Murphy............... the transfer team have absolutely lost the plot!!!!!
♥ 1
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.
Im Forest for over sixty years, hang on a minute. Leeds are going to be challenging for europe this season, they are a good team & many of our players will improve as the season goes on. The players need to stick with their proven manager, back him.
glstark1638d ago
Too right well said 👌
🤑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!
♥ 1
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.
♥ 2
Nottingham Forest have made a poor start under Glasner... what needs to change?
flow77craig33d ago
Just abit of time is needed
reddogg37d ago
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
♥ 1
glstark1638d ago
As I’ve said before it takes time to play under a new manager and learn his ways so I don’t know what the fuss is about. Let’s give them time and hopefully make our way to Europe again coyr
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.
👀Should we go full steam ahead for Luis Suarez or would you be happy with Liam Delap? Which of the two is better suited to Oliver Glasner's system?
melg38d ago
Welcome to Forest Liam, you weren't our first choice.
shaunwilson99839d ago
Get both and let wood go. After last night's performance he's never going to get back to how he was 2 seasons ago
stevenphillipson98739d ago
Both of them
What are you immediate thoughts to being linked with Jacob Murphy? Does he have the right profile to be Forest's new wing-back?🤔
flow77craig33d ago
No just same profile as Munoz
looseleym38d ago
All the money we got for Anderson and we're still shopping at Poundland,it would never surprise me if there was something wrong financially at our club.
glstark1640d ago
No he’s too old look elsewhere he’s more of a winger than a wingback
🤝 Nottingham Forest look set to sign Liam Delap from Chelsea. What are your immediate thoughts to this news of a possible new striker at the CG? 👀
shamanth.jayaram40d ago
Downgrade on Awoniyi
dale.odonnell41d ago
He needs a fresh chapter. Good move for both parties. Glasner might get the best out of him.
dakir.thanveer41d ago
Oh, didn't expect this much scepticism. I think he'll be a top signing 👌 Wouldn't be more than £40m. Expecting it to be around £35m
♥ 1
😮Would you take Igor Thiago at Nottingham Forest? Is £70m too much for him?
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.
miketoyne41d ago
He's on 300k a week! Buy him and join lesta in div 3 when we're broke.
♥ 1
reddogg41d ago
It's a token 'offer' to make it look like we tried...... Thiago is not leaving Brentford to come to Forest. We'd be better off focusing £40-45m and get Delap or Mateta, much more realistic
👀Jack Colback wants Jack Grealish at Nottingham Forest but would you take him and where would you play him?
flow77craig42d ago
Good shout if he's happy to accept £100,000 a week MAX . But it would mean cashing in on MGW, not gonna play together under Glasner
♥ 1
glstark1642d ago
Don’t think so for me, MGW is better all round player,so you have got to look would Grealish get in the way? Too me it’s a no
♥ 1
lee.connor42d ago
Grealish is a good signing for 90% of the league. Great player and I think he’s a bit underrated tbh. Be great for Forest.
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,
glstark1644d ago
Totally agree Igor is better playing off a tall striker not trying to be one

🤑What incentive should Evangelos Marinakis put on to drive more ticket sales for the Carabao Cup clash vs Leeds?
leviecharles43d ago
We all want to support the club course we do ! But it’s not easy middle of month some people waiting for pay day same team as we played couple days before and it’s on the tv they really need to accept cup games they need to do a offer specially these early rounds
glstark1644d ago
Spot on give the fans a treat!
♥ 1
reddogg45d ago
The point is - as season ticket holders we've forked out, we're playing the same team in more important fixture days before and we know both managers will make loads of changes..... even £10 is an expense not needed plus my travel costs over an hour away....... it should be freebie for season ticket holders other clubs have done that

What did you make to Lamine Sillah's goal vs Gateshead?💪
looseleym38d ago
My mate scored a goal like that in the Sunday league, doesn't mean he can play in the premiership.
tom.procter45d ago
Good hustle. Lad looks sharp
chillout45d ago
It’s Gateshead !
Does a move to Hull end Dilane Bakwa's time at Forest or can he have an impact next season?🤔
flow77craig45d ago
We have so many players with similuar skill set, Bakwawork rate puts hom bottom of pile for me, mathematics he could go on and start somewhere else, but if Marinakis gets £30m for him. 100% get rid and reinvest
paulblackbird1746d ago
Get rid not good enough. What's he done?? Nothing
hoodiehudson57046d ago
Id of kept him i think glasner could turn him into a top player hes quick also all the best Taio at coventry
💪What qualities will Dodo bring to the Nottingham Forest XI that Ola Aina can't?🤔
miketoyne41d ago
He'll be behind Netz in the pecking order.
twlmurphy43d ago
Looking at the squad there are only spaces for two more foreign players in the 25. Luckily Benda, Wood, Aina count as Home-grown, Cunha and Bindon are considered Under-21. That's why Benda was a decent signing!
glstark1644d ago
Why not at that price! Give him a chance. We surely have had worse
