I watched Big League weekend on SKY. All of the Managers when interviewed say they’ve got some good young players coming through, although a little bit inexperienced.

Warnock when he gets interviewed, and although I’ve never really liked his attitude about football, you can actually understand what he’s saying. Not like the plonker at our club.

Anyway, my conclusion is that Calderwood is the Mr “Yes Sir, I’ll do it” for Arthur and Doughty. Both of them have don’t really know how to build a successful sports team and have turned to Mr Pleat for his wealth of advice (God help us …. another Tottenham reject).

Whoever, the Manager is, I think they’ll always have someone with no real bollocks to stand up to the pair of them.

A manager who loves the game for what it is … now there’s a dream.

Another cc blunder. Brecks should have been captain this season instead of dithering wilson. We would certainly not been in this position had he played.
I can only assume that an experienced captain is lined up,as wilson is certainly not an effective captain. So wilson is captain for the next 4 matches……This is no good for my nerves…..

Ian Hall: my favourite chant of all time. I remember the Blackburn fans looking extremely nonplussed as we sang it a couple of weeks later as well.

Anyone but Ince. I remember Forest playing Man U at home in c. 1994-1995 and the Trent End singing “Paul Ince is a mardy c&nt” for 20 minutes solid. It was great! I think we drew the match 1-1, goal from Paul Britpop.

I’m supporting our manager. The policy to fill the team with young, home-grown talent is surely set at a level above that of manager. I think it’s a great way to run a club. Granted you do need a bit of experience to help the kids along. We’ve been dead unlucky in that respect in that first Lennon and then Cole weren’t able to do that for us. On paper both looked ideal (Shame about the grass!).
The thing about young players is they make mistakes, which can be costly in the short term but it is how they end up getting better – much like inexperienced managers.

I think CC will have until Charlton game to sort it. If he can’t get out of the bottom 3 by then, then he probably never will. It still leaves enough of the season for a proper salvage job and the board will have been more than fair. Read a report today stating that CC will be given money in the transfer window so who knows. I like others am not excited by any of the potential replacements on the management carousel and while I question a few of CC’s decisions like what he is trying to do and would like him to succeed. Certainly not one for chopping and changing. The pre-season talk of play-offs was silly in hindsight and you could say avoiding relegation would have been our ultimate goal at the beginning of the season so in that sense he hasn’t yet failed.

Here’s a poll for you NFFC. With Perch suspended, the moose & McGugan still injured, who will play the holding role in midfied on saturday?

Earnie? Jules? Big Wes?!!

This must be a worry for us. We seem to have an abundance of centre halves (Wes, Wilson, Brecks, Lynch, Chambers) but a lack of defensive midfielders which may lead to Calderwood changing the formation once again. My money says he goes back to 4.3.3

Saints expecting 25,000 + crowd with the reduced prices. It’s going to be a real crunch game.

This is totally unrelated to Forest but made me and my son smile.

Happy Christmas NFFC
