The Sabri bubble burst from the moment the pivotal injury to Sow happened.  Our top six was built on what fitness he had last season.

We've gone from being spanked, game over after the 1st goal, and conceding goals like a sieve, lacking belief and rooted to the bottom of the table...

...to a competitive outfit that will compete for every ball and beat the likes of anti-football Cardiff (managed by Mick no less) on their own patch.  And out possession footballing Brentford (On their own patch.). Defying the gravity of disastrous start to the season to slowly turn things around based on pragmatic principles that this Championship league demands.

What Chris Hughton has done could only have been bettered by Christ Hughton.

Forest were a complete mess.  Following a train wreck Summer.

SA.

We'll have a fully fit Lolley back and Mighten will just get better and better. Johnson back too as well. Hopefully he can step up to the level. Yates is getting better too (!).

And I've not written Arter off either yet, and maybe even Freeman could come good given a proper pre-season this year, if we keep him.

Things are looking up IMO and it's all down to the input of the manager.

I can't see Taylor being here next season, unless nobody wants him of course!!

He was only called up to saturday's squad because Sammi had a slight knock. Does CH really prefer Murray to Taylor in terms of getting a top performance or has Taylor done something to rattle CH's cage?

Where's that come from Tricks? Who could possibly know what the squad picks were going to be? And if it was true why was Taylor picked to come on ahead of Murray when Grabban was subbed?

Tails said so in pre match tweet. Again if you are one of those who doesnt like PT I get that but he was at the ground he will have spoken with one of the back room team who will have told him. He is normally fairly cautious in what he says and never reveals before team sheet is in.
For him to say Taylor was out the squad suggested to me he is out of favour with CH for whatever reason. He possibly came on because Brizzle were pushing forward and he thought a bit more pace than Murray would be helpful to get in behind.
