After yesterday customary loss I fed my junk food addiction.
At this rate I will be dead by the end of the season from an MI or develop Type 2 Diabetes.
Only positive was I did not buy a pack of cigarettes !!
So not sure what the options are at the moment.
Is CH sticking with the same set of players to develop spirit or confidence?
Does he need to give some of the other players a chance ?
Does he need to give the youngsters a chance ?
Do we need 2 or 3 quality additions in January ?
Is Lewis a faker and waiting for the big money move in January ?
Will another manager make any difference ?
Could Nigel Pearson or Eddie Howe make a difference ?
Or would it not make a difference because you cannot make silk purse out of a sow's ear.
The last time I really enjoyed my football was during Billy Davies first tenure as manager . Not saving bring him back but do we need someone with a similar philosophy of playing football.
SL made us difficult to beat and we had the rub of the green until we did not.
But why could he not adapt his style of play when the counterattacking style was found out ?
Would Nigel Clough make a difference ? Or is he our back up option when we are in League one - if we are relegated we could be in that division a long time and surely the owner will sell the club.
Forest look devoid of spirit and fight and ideas with no goal scoring threat and no rub of the green.
We cannot blame it on the capitulation at the end of last season we lost a game of football but no body died.
Or was it the fact we bought 14 players in which has affected the psyche of the squad - why should I bother because if we get to the premier league I would be replaced anyway ?
People say there is something wrong at the club - what do they mean ?
Has the owners bullying so demoralised the players they are getting their own back ? They won`t put in a spirited performance until he goes ?
I doubt if we will get anything out of Sheffield Wednesday - Windass will score against us.
We always underestimate Mill wall and they whip our arses !!
Birmingham will be tough and will be lucky to get a point.
Every game in the Championship is tough but you stand a chance if you have a tight knit group with fighting spirit.
Selling Kevin Campbell and Colin Cooper in 1998 might have seen like a good idea at the time but boy was it a false economy.
BTW can we bring back Britt ?
Are we to good to go down ?

In his post match interview did Joe Worrall mean I cannot stand some of the players at forest when he said I we are not friends but then decided to say he could not stand being at the bottom of the table.

In four words.......No, you're not.

Sounds like they're all falling out in the dressing room from his interview. He stopped short of this by blaming the league table.
What an absolute mess we are in.

Not really; he doesn't have much of an option.
Does he need to give some of the other players a chance
Definitely; Mighten for example needs the same starts and game time Guerrero has had. Ditto Figs/Mbe Soh
Does he need to give the youngsters a chance ?
See above.
Do we need 2 or 3 quality additions in January ?
We needed 2 or 3 quality additions in the summer and got them; Knockaert, Taylor. So no.
Is Lewis a faker and waiting for the big money move in January ?
I think he will go; but I don't think we owe him anything. He's worked his butt off for the club.
Will another manager make any difference ?
No
Could Nigel Pearson or Eddie Howe make a difference ?
No

The problem is not the manager - everyone knows that.
The last time I really enjoyed my football was during Billy Davies first tenure as manager . Not saving bring him back but do we need someone with a similar philosophy of playing football.
No.
SL made us difficult to beat and we had the rub of the green until we did not.
But why could he not adapt his style of play when the counterattacking style was found out ?
He didn't have the players. He wanted Taylor and Freeman but didn't get them
Would Nigel Clough make a difference ? Or is he our back up option when we are in League one - if we are relegated we could be in that division a long time and surely the owner will sell the club
No.

We need the manager to calm nerves, gather a perspective and get a first win. We build from there. It's not too late to save our season. It's us or Dierby clownty

The question isn't are you too good to go down, it's are you good enough to stay up.

The answer is still no. But if I'm onest I fink Forest will survive.

Are we...currently...good enough to stay up? No
Are there three teams worse than us right now? No
Can we turn it around? Yes. But we have to absolutely nail it.
We can’t be carrying players that consistently let the team down (figs/samba), we can’t be bullying staff (vrentos), and hughton absolutely needs to be supported in January with players of his choice.
Unless all three of those happen, then we are going to stay as one of the worst three teams in the league this season.

My concerns are that we are looking very much like the side that went down in Cloughies last season. We are playing alright but not putting chances away and conceding silly goals. I always remember the Ipswich game at home that season, we had 23 shots to their 1 and lost 1-0 which really summed that season up.
