Everyone questioning Davies needs to chill out. We are 5th in the league and have been for a considerable amount of time.
His job is to get results (lost 7 out of 34). We ain't 5th from bottom. Can nobody remember 3 seasons in league one? Joe Kinnear, Gary Megson, Colin Caldwrwood, Steve Maclaren, Steve Cotterill, Sean o Driscoll, Alec McLeish. Can anyone remember the tripe served up by everyone else?
Seriously everyone panicking needs to relax and support the club. Decimated by injuries and everyone looking for a scapegoat. 12 games to go. First bad run we hit a and the doom and gloom merchants are out in force.
Davies is the best manager we've had in ages and a bad run of injuries and a blip in what's been a very consistent season doesn't change that.
Davies is proven and the tripe written about him is partly down to the fact he don't play the media game. Fawaz is as responsible if not more so for club policy with regards to media / interviews etc. Nobody having a pop at him.
Get behind Billy, get behind the boys and enjoy it.

Don't say the guy is yet again blaming Billy for ND's death? He is really full of it and although I'm not happy with the manager at the moment, is well worth a filter

What if Ramdini's non purchasing of a Forest replica shirt, to show his respect for his 2nd best loved team was the difference between Financial Fair Play and Financial Naughty Play?
Small margins I think a wise footballing man once said....you guys need Ramdini.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's 1% of anything over an initial £100,000 fine.
Think I'd pay it to be honest. Reckon Fawaz would be willing to buy another shirt himself if it came to an embargo
As far as the op is concerned....
We didn't lose on Saturday because of Billy, we lost because we lack a finisher, who's responsible for that is another debate, but could explain why our chief scout has just been sacked (just a thought).
Mackie, Majewski, Derbyshire & Henderson all had excellent scoring chances on Saturday, they just screwed up their chances because they're not good enough in front of goal.

I still back Billy and appreciate that he is a good manager at Championship level and think it is time for calm heads but I wish he would stop playing his media games. If you don't want to say anything, just keep quiet and state that you will let Ned and Darby handle the dressing room for the next few games as you are not allowed in the dressing room? The announcement about taking legal advice was a unnecessary. The team is more important then this childish media spat. Think it is causing too much of a storm which is unsettling the place and Billy is only adding to it.
Regarding the strikers, they just seem to go to pieces in the box. Mackie and Derbyshire in particular need to up their game when it comes to finishing.
Agree that things could turn nasty if the rest of March continues in a similar vein. Remember Billy commented that the season starts in January, etc. in results since then, Forest are lower mid table.

As an outsider looking in I would fear Forest more with Billy D in charge than I would without him. That’s not to say that he isn’t an odious little toad.
And what is it with Forest and strikers? Every time I’ve popped over here in the last few seasons you need a striker – despite signing loads of them and letting half of them go.
When he’s fit that McGoldrick at Ipswich looks decent btw ...

I don't particularly like BD but he is a decent manager. I just don't share SBD's opinion that he will get u promoted. I don't think there has been enough in te past to show this will happen.
I think he is doing a decent job. Play offs would be more than acceptable. However I think a different manager might (only might) have got this squad doin better. But just because I or other hold that opinion it doesn't mean we are not as good as a supporter of the team as anyone else. You don't need 100% faith in a manager to support him or the team.
Fans want the best for a team. If someone wants the manager sacked it's because they think it's best for the team. I don't think anyone has a personal agenda against a manager (at least I hope not)!
For me I we make play offs it seems fair to give him another season. Hopefully I would be proved wrong and Billy gets us top two.

well said G42 i'm not anti billy from the start i've supportered him fawaz and team but that is what is killing us at the mo a finisher we have decent strikers (IMO)we have decent wingers supplying in DECENT crosses but for some reason only our strikers know that we are not scoring i say one more season in the championship won't kill us get rid of a lot of dead wood and PLEASE get a striker that can score goals FTID
sorry for rambling on

What did Billy do to Nigel Doughty. ND put the club up for sale when your current manager resigned and sadly passed away when Steve Cotterill was in charge. You could (but most decent people wouldn't) blame either of those two for what happened.

A certain derby inferred he had a hand in ND leaving the club then him dying. It's totally out of order and although we had a discussion relating to it, he still posts as if we hadn't. As I say, not entirely happy with things, but where people have an agenda/hatred and will bring up frankly ridiculous suggestions, then their views aren't worth bothering with
