Forest fan in peace.
Just wondering what you all think of Gillett.
Made a big impact at the club, and despite the big signings for us, he's the one that everyone is talking about. Superb, as the article above says.
Did you think he'd make a big impact for us, and was he equally as good for you?

Not some fans favorite to start with.
Treated very badly last season.
Stuck to his "Job" like a top pro and became player of the season.sadly missed at the Keepmoat.
Wish him all the best.

Gillett couldn't even get in the Southampton side in the 1st division when Sean picked him up and put him in the Championship.
I made him the most improved player last season and was very pleased with his last TV performance for Forest.
Sean has the ability to get the best out of players if they buy in to his system of play very similar to Old Cloughie with players like McGuvan(spelling ?), Roberts and Burns, Gemmell. Enjoy the trip my friend, enjoy the trip, some of us will be watching it very closely.

Small in stature big in heart, top pro, simple. Only one negative makes brilliant runs but finishing could be better. If it does he could contribute a good few from midfield .

NFFCsporty, I came onto your board at the time you signed Gillett to say that you had made an astute signing. Gillett is excellent at breaking up the opposition's play and will always use the ball wisely. You will never see him panic in possession. As ionly said on another thread, Copps will give Sharp the ammunition and Sharp will also defend well and chase down from the front. Good luck this season. Will watch your progress with interest. Forest was kind of my second team before because my dad was a lifelong fan. With the addition of SoD and some of the Danny old guard, you're definitely my second team now. All the best!!

Total stupidity by the Rovers to let gillett go, he staed that he wanted to stay.
Saunders obviously wants to be rid of any player linked to SoD and that is his decision to make of course.
However, to blindly do it whatever the calibre of player doesnt make sense to me.

Pricey scores two for Prestatyn's 7-1 win.
If only he could turn the clock back a few years I would love to have him back but life moves on.
