It's shocking to realise that a fit footballer like Figueiredo can develop a blood clot at his age. I've had two D.V.T's and I'm still here to tell the tale, but that's not always the case.
Charlie Whiting [Formula One] is dead from a DVT and a friend down here died from one last year.
It's possible that Figueiredo may never play professional football again unfortunately.
The anti clotting injections make you feel as weak as a baby.
Next time Osborn plays at left back watch where he stands when we have a goal kick. He will be ten yards higher than Darikwa. He can't stop himself, he is a good midfielder but a poor LB.
When we went ahead we should have done what Villa did when they went ahead. Kept our shape, shown discipline, frustrated them. Not take risks. That's game management. But we're learning. I'm optimistic for next season.

I had a DVT in 2010 and it was horrific. Don’t think it affected my football career though
2006 & 2012 for me, so George and Dave's VR scheme came in very handy; they body search you and remove anything of value before letting you out of the door though!

Caniggia, I'm not judging Soudani, how could I, but it doesn't alter the fact he hasn't contributed. Hopefully he will get his chance next season. Same applies to Byram. We have been badly hit by injuries to key players again this season and too many of our summer signings haven't been of the required standard.
Sheffield United have ten players who have started more than 25. We have six
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s quite a telling stat. Sheff U have had the same manager all season and the settled nature of things has allowed them to build momentum and they now find themselves in a great position.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Will I like the way you describe Sheff Utd as having the same manager all season as if it’s unusual!

The injections in the stomach were bloody painful and the pain in the leg itself was like nothing else I’ve ever experienced

😆 Sign of the times. Probably might go some way to explaining why this year’s Championship has been so inconsistent. Off the top of my head, I can only think of Brizzle (L Johnson), Sheff U and Norwich who’ve had the same managers for at least most of the last two seasons. Telling that they’re amongst the front runners in the promotion race.

It sounds pretty horrendous. It has gone very quiet about Figueiredo. I’m surprised we even got the update that we did from MoN the other month about him. It has gone a bit “Matty Fryatt” quiet around him and I also think that he may be really struggling.
Also think that it is going to be frustrating news over Grabban. An Achilles problem is probably one of the hardest to fix for a field sports player. One of the areas of the body that takes the most strain, along with the knees in my amateur experience.
Ansarifard really needed to show on Wednesday that he has the gumption to have a real go at making it here. He was too tentative IMO and that dive at the Bridgford End was outreageous. I really hope Keane got hold of him after the game and made it very clear that it was completely unacceptable. That type of thing really gets referees backs up and is bound to negatively affect the team. Discipline has been so poor this season and that dive put the tin lid on it for me. I hope MoN and Keane bring back the fines in the envelopes on the player’s clothes hook in the dressing room that Cloughie made great use of. The players from that era hated getting fined. The fines these days would have to be pretty substantial to bother these players, though.
The way Forest used to carry themselves under Clough was a source of pride for us fans. Don’t argue with refs, etc. I hate the way players crowd the ref and get booked for dissent. It isn’t acceptable at Forest IMO. Leave that sort of behaviour to the likes of Leeds. If you can’t win fairly, then don’t win at all.
I agree Karim should have been booked as he was but what annoys me is the inconsistency of the referees. Earlier in the match one of theirs went down in the box and was just motioned to get up to his feet, why was that not a booking and yet Karim's was. IMO if a player goes down in the box and it isn't a penalty it should be an automatic booking.
That was Tammy Abrahams, went down as though he'd taken a blow to the head, where as the replay showed that Benny-the-loon had just shoulder checked him.
Must have been an instruction from the manager though , once they had gone ahead they were doing it all the time. That amount of gamesmanship sticks in the throat: was the third goal handball, I never saw a replay?
Just hope Grabban doesn’t suffer the way Fatty Fryup did with his Achilles, it eventually ended his playing career, great shame as he had lots left and was a decent forward when fit. Certainly wouldn’t consider Grabban for Ipswich, give as much rest as possible.

Early team news suggests Grabban won’t be fit. I really rated Fryatt and was really pleased when he eventually signed for Forest as he had been tracked ever since his Walsall days. Such a shame for him and Forest as I reckon he could have been a great foil for the Assombalonga and Antonio front line.
