I really hope so. We need one side we’ll strip points off twice a season.

Had we Lost That Loving Feeling?

Vital win. But also a game taken beyond doubt, and that was even more important.

Yeah. Just too obscure that one.

Always a bogey team for us.

* right *man* for the job right now.

We were in a coffee shop last week, and a guy was using the entire of the upstairs of the place as his Zoom office. He got irate when we sat down and got in his shot.

I have not idea what industry he was in, but I’m pretty sure he shouldn’t have been discussing what he was in a public space.

This. It’s the same reason we do. He’s one of a relatively small number of YouTubers who cover Japan in that way. Often taking the time to actually speak to people, showcase their stories and communities. Tokyo Lens is another.

He has been looking very promising. Did very well during the summer for Botafogu in the World Club Cup.

Dyche is the right many for the job right now. Should have gone for him immediately after Nuno.

This.

Any pundit who had actually *watched* Forest, or spoken to supporters who had, would know how bad things had gotten.

The lazy, condescending and assumptive tone taken by so many reporting on this situation has been ridiculous. Forest are not a side many pay real attention to. It shows.

There’s a huge amount of logic in this appointment. This is going to feel like something he needs to prove to himself. It’s clear he feels gutted that he never got to play for the club, after being there at youth level. But he and his couching staff are invested in Forest.

I… think I’ve got news for you, Post.

He brings a defensive focus which better matches how we were under Nuno. And in particular defending set pieces, as opposed the easy goals Ange had us concede from those.

He brings wingers back into the formation. We used to score a lot of goals from those.

Yes, Marinakis has to take some responsibility for this. Hi hired him. But he’s been smart enough to realise when something cannot work. Sean Dyche seems like a logical hire for him, based on the current situation.

I would never have wanted to see Nuno leave, but that was a massive clash of personalities that span out of control fast, and unpredictably so.

Postecoglu was 100% the wrong choice. Tried to change everything. Did not homework. Froze players out by removing their position in his formation.

I’d disagree on that. Marinakis built Forest up from a heck of stripped back mess the previous owners left it in, got the club promoted back to the top flight and into Europe. Behind the scenes the improvements he’s brought about are immense.

Unfortunately, he got taken in by Postecoglu’s patter.

This. Ange has shattered a lot of the unity built up at the club over Nuno’s tenure. This might help a lot. Two players there involved in Forest’s last European campaign for a start.

Exactly. And he’s bringing several former players back to the club with him as coaches. You’ve got to hope that this helps to build club unity.
