dcfc and forest must have the best midfieeld in the league hahaha. Forest seem to be lacking up front and our defence arent too great. Should be interesting though with some great quality on display when we both play
You are getting ahead of yourself. You have not seen mos I the signings play and I suspect not heard of some of them before! Yet have decided we have one of the best midfields in the champ! And before the window shuts and you know who everyone ela has signed! As it stands QPR still have tarabt and Barton.
It's exciting times I agree and with some exciting looking players. But we need to give them time before we know how goo they are an how good we can be. Lets look forward to the season but without crazy expectations before its even kicked off!
Stop using rational thoughts, RAE!
taraabt will leave im sure, and barton is awful, never rated him, big mouth, little to offer on the pitch. Imagine hughes and guideiora playing on the same team
Never heard of your european winger but cant be better that certain niggly piece of sh*te that seems to score past you every time we play you<wink>
Midfield Sorted ? I don't really think so. Plenty of talent there I agree, but where's the ball winner? Gillett is probably the nearest to a ball winner; he started last season well, but once opponents sussed him and pressed when he was in possession we started to falter.
Leadbitter or possibly Holt could do it. If we can sign one of them then we're in business.
I think the manager wants to play 4-3-3. Mackie - Henderson - Paterson (or Abdoun) up front. Guedioura - ballwinner - Lansbury in a narrow midfield, allowing Jara and Cohen to take advantage of the space in front of them. 4-4-2 will be plan B

Billy still wants a proper defensive midfielder. Or a Paul Mckenna mark 2. But I agree we're looking good.
According to that Jim bloke on twitter still three decent signings to come. Could be the best Forest squad for a long time
Rev...we need a bigger squad nowadays. With Internationals in the side we could end up with a lot of tired players.
Is there an African Nations Cup in January? If so, we'll lose the 2 Algerians for starters.
Even so, the squad is looking healthy
I agree with 50yrs, that midfield is great going forward, brittle defensively.
CM: Guedioura, Majewski, Lansbury, Cohen, Moussi, Gillet and Greening. The last three will barely play and they are the better ball winners. I'd love us to get a really good DM and not have Guedioura play there as that stifles what he's best at.
Sell Miller to Boro in a swap for Leadbitter, that'd be perfect.
There's no African Nations until 2015.
Monkey - I think it would be ridiculous to sell Derbyshire now when he's just showing something like form. Give the guy a chance. There's no way we're selling Tudders (unfortunately) - and why won't Mclaughlin get a look in? We've signed wingers yes, but you need more than just your first team over a season.
I don't think anyone wants McLoughlin not to be good enough to play but on first look he seems to be behind (lets say less experienced than) Abdoun, Paterson, Reid and now Mackie who'll probably play out wide. He may be better off going on loan.
I hope he's good enough to compete with those though obviously
I don't think he'll behind Reid. Let's face it, Reid's not a winger. I'd like to see Mclaughlin getting games from the bench personally - wingers tend to tire more quickly than anyone else on the pitch and they are also the best potential gamechangers when coming on the 70th minute or so. Hope he gets a chance.
