You don’t often see “ quality “ and “ Maceo Rigters “ in the same sentence.

That may be true but anybody really think that Sharpe knows what’s going on ? He’ll know when it’s all cut and dried and not before.

Who else is there Jim ? Didn’t that fast bowler at Lancs break down the other day ? What is the problem with our fast bowlers ? They all appear to be crocks.

We need to appoint some players next.

Sorry, just seen that. I was at that game. Was it really 2008 ! It was bloody awful day all round. Cold and wet, drizzle etc. End of May as well, isn’t English weather great.

Stockport have played at the new Wembley. I went to the Rochdale v Stockport play off game there a few years ago.

Crazy. We need to have a good look at him back here before we decide to sell him. We don’t want to make the same mistake as we did with O’Connell.

They’ll be new for us but that was what Rovers were doing back in the 1960’s ! Football isn’t a complicated game and it never has been.

Where’s Carter going ?

How can you have a settled side with Ayala in it ? As for making him captain, is that non playing captain ? I can’t see Brown being a first team choice either. That’s also assuming that none of our better players like Kaminski, Buckley, Travis don’t get lured away.

Understandable though.

If Lenihan goes as he well might we are stuck with an ageing Ayala, who plays when he feels like it, and Wharton. If the new guy plays 4 at the back with 2 centre halves , unlikely in todays game, we’ll need 4 guys who can all play there. If he plays with 3 centre halves we’ll need 5 players who can do a job there. Centre halves get injured and more to the point get cards. Keeping Carter makes sense to me.

It sounds like he’s come on leaps and bounds. Much as Wharton did on his last loan.

I agree. What the last young centre half called that we let go cheap ? The one who ended up playing in the Prem with Sheffield Utd. O’Connell ? This could turn out the same. Let’s get him back here and have another look at him. Especially with Lenihan having itchy feet.

He’s possibly the best attacking central midfielder in the division. If we can’t afford to keep Rothwell we obviously can’t afford Swift. Lower level Premier League teams are looking at him.

Out of our league.

Daley Thompson’s second goal was a belter.

They’ve missed Mina.

Good luck to him. It’s time we came into the 21st Century in football.

What will they be interviewing him on ? I’d not be too impressed if they weren’t there in person.

The first time I saw the “ new “ Forest team play I thought “ this lot are going up “. They looked like a team that gets promotion. Team shape, pattern of play, they had it all.

I know the stats Chaddy but sometimes there is a story behind the stats. I was reading about another manager not long ago. He’d brought in a lot of new players in the close season and they were struggling to gel. The board got nervous and decided to fire him. The team he built got promoted with the next manager.

Somebody will give her the chance one day. Not us though.

Me too but his stock has fallen badly since his time at Forest. I don’t know much about what was going on there. Did Cooper transform the club completely or did Hughton lay the foundations ?

I think at the time Lambert and his staff were a good appointment. It just didn’t turn out that way.
