That combo is not a combo we will do well with, otherwise more struggles like we saw yesterday will be witnessed week in week out.

It has to be 433 at the end of the window.

I don’t think that will happen with Hughton being here….a leopard never changes it’s spots.

I'm kind of hoping more than anything mate, if we landed garner and flemming we would have the option to go 433.

I can then sit back when we have been beaten and say we tried our best at that time and in the knowledge that we will continue to improve and eventually become a quality football team, once again proud to support and have opposition fans jealous of our club & players. Its never going to happen with CH as the saying goes "a leopard never changes his spots" like quite a few forum members on here have remarked, CH will be gone before Christmas.

Yeah I do get this mentality. However firstly, I can't ever think of a time we've been like that? Paul Hart days maybe?

Secondly, how many other clubs are like this around? This isn't an excuse, just shows how hard it is to play like that. 

Also, CH's teams that have done well do have a record of scoring lots of goals so I'm guessing they were positive at that point, we just don't have the players for that right now.

For the record, I would've preferred to see someone more attack minded, mainly as it gives them a bit more breathing room with the fans, which does make a big difference in my opinion. Also as Peterborough show, it's really easy to inflate the value of your attacking players by scoring loads of goals! Regardless of defensive statistics.

The last time someone tried to be attacking though, everyone wanted rid of him pretty quickly too I seem to remember too!

People got fed up of Warburton playing tippy tappy football.  They were bored of it because Forest were losing and below half way and had a crap Christmas.

The last time we had any one that one or two are asking for was Paul Hart.  And the last time we had a brand of robust pragmatic attacking was Davies.  And they didn't like him because he was a naughty boy.

Yup. We've a small vocal minority of mangina's who dilute the club and local area with their spoiled, never happy attitude.

If Clough was here now that same minority would be wanting him gone for his alcoholism/bungs/arrogance etc.

I remember well the section of Forest crowd that chanted, 'Pull your finger out, Brian!' as Forest sat tenth after an indifferent start.

That's gratitude for you.
