(Which maybe a bit hopeful of me!)

Maybe i’ll be signing a different tune by October!

But we’re no different to any other fans in the country in that respect. One thing I’d never do however is boo the team. My frustrations manifest themselves in the form of this forum (thank you, nffc!).
I just want to be entertained on a saturday afternoon.
Maybe my mood will lighten after we’ve spanked Leeds on Saturday!

But I think I know the answer to your question ‘why a club the size of ours was unable to attract a manager who could galvanise the supporters and players and drag us back up the divisions ?’ – because most of those managers, knowing how bloody fickle some sections of Forest supporters are and how quickly they turn on you, for would not touch us with a barge pole.
It would have been interesting to see how those fans would have reacted to a few poor games under ‘Charlie & Frank’ ? I know we had a great run under those two but I wonder how much of that was down to throwing of the Megson shackles ?

Last season I can honestly say i watched only 45 minutes of proper attacking football at the City Ground. That was against Charlton. I spent a fortune travelling the country watching my team struggle against the likes of Salisbury (twice) and Acc Stanley.
I know on occassions we played well (Crewe away, Chesterfield and one or 2 more) but it isnt enough.
I’m a realist. I know we aren’t Brazil. I understand the fact we are in the 3rd Division and I accept we are there on merit. What I fail to understand is why a club the size of ours was unable to attract a manager who could galvanise the supporters and players and drag us back up the divisions.
Everybody at Northampton said he was negative. The pundits say he’s negative. We the supporters think he’s negative. Fuck me, just listen to his post-match interviews.
Nah, he’s bought well this summer and still we’re shit. Let’s not forget that he spent 4 months last season telling us that we would catch City and Scunny because we had the best ‘group’ of players in the division. Well he’s added to that and we still cant score!!God help us on saturday!

Rant over. Come on you reds!

Isn’t everyone injured?

Don’t you remember last season when we had all our players available we struggled big time.

You Forest fans who say stick with CC want to get your heads out the clouds. I have backed him and the team for the last season and a bit and too be honest the way we play football is a complete joke.

The best form of defence is attack, if you go into a game sitting back with no outlet then you are going to get hammered for 90 mins like we did yesterday.

I am sick of paying hard earned cash to watch shite week in week out. I watched the championship on TV this morning and watched all these teams getting crosses in and creating chances, it is not hard so why don’t we do it, even Ian Taylor on Sky on Friday night preview programme said CC is very defensive minded. Surely Doughty you would have found this out before hiring him?

Ok get a good defence but you aren’t going to win games with just a defence. CC get the f**k out of town now and bring back Charlie McParland and Frank Barlow, at least they tried to play attacking football, old on a minute didn’t we lose one in 13 when they were in charge and ripped teams apart……

Let the attacking players play and let defenders defend. I watch Forest sometimes and I think CC will bring on another Goalie because that is how boring and negative the bloke is.

We will have to get used to this every week. Lennon’s work is often unseen (remember at Leicester it was always Izzet who took the plaudits) and the fact we are yet to concede a goal this season suggests he is doing his job perfectly adequately at the moment.

What worries me rather more is our lack of attacking options – with Moloney (and then Perch) as well as Lennon in the side, we are frankly leaving the offensive options to only four players. Dull, negative and boring – all of the things we were promised we wouldn’t be this season. At the moment, the injury situation means we give CC the benefit of the doubt – however once they clear up…..
