Your Thoughts On The Current Nottingham Forest Manager

[Widdow]

So much for the international break for CH to get across his way of playing and getting to know the players.

OK. I'm as gutted as anyone that we've been beaten, especially as we played well.

This has been a sh1tshow of a start to the season. No goals and no points before CH arrived and only 3 wins so far. But heres the thing, I love this club and many of our fans, I miss matchday home and away and all that entails. I quite like the debate on this site which is usually quite balanced even if - like me tonight- quite emotional.

But the negative shite you've been posting for some time has caught my interest and attention. As you say (paraphrased) we are all entitled to an opinion so long as it's yours...  

So having posted numerous times negatively tonight regarding our unfortunate defeat, in the interests of balance I thought I'd look at how you responded to our win against Wycombe.....but not one post could I find (my very luddite system of trawling the matchday thread probably not the quickest or most efficient way). Not to worry, I had Coventry thread to check. Same method same result. Not one "well done lads" or even "3 lucky points".

Now I know nowt about you, so apologies if you were on holiday, dealing with a bereavement, medical emergency or your Mum hadnt paid your phone bill, none of my business. 

However, I am calling you out? Why do you only post when we lose (and post many times). Do you have a grudge against my club? Are you one of the "I told you so" pr1cks found all over twitter.

Just intrigued. Alf for instance states clearly what his issues are with the club. But not just when we lose. More and more his very early appraisal of the clubs leadership is looking worryingly accurate and whilst I may not agree with him all the time I respect his balanced view. He also posted when we win for instance.

So please enlighten me as I am intrigued. What is it?

Disclaimer: If Widdow is (as some suspect) a pre-pubescent school kid, I take this all back and apologise. Get back on Fifa or whatever and win the Champions League for 10th consecutive season with Forest. Be sure to explain to Chris Hughton how it's done as his Championship experience clearly holds no gravitas.....

Haha thanks for calling me out on my negativity. 

Just one little thing, we did score a goal before CH arrived in our loss to Bristol City, you must have forgotten that or couldn’t be bothered to post about it, but no worries wasn’t worth it. 

Glad I have finally caught your attention, only been posting on this site and others for years. Glad you took time out of your busy Saturday to check if I got over excited and posted something positive when we beat Wycombe at home (can you imagine if we lost?) and as for Coventry, great performance, well not really but positive we got a win, and not only that a win in stoppage time for us rather than conceding one, but you’re quite right, didn’t post, didn’t think I needed to. I am not on Twitter, are you one of the Pricks on there?

I for one had hoped those 6 (very easy to get) points would’ve woken us up. I thought two weeks for CH to get training with the lads and get his philosophy across would also bear fruit. Well yes we did play well for a lot of the game, but all things being fair, we would’ve still lost that 5-3! 

Perhaps should look back at my other posts whereas I do offer options on both sides and discuss reasoning behind my thoughts on signings, appointments and owners, which I have done for many years, so showing my age, but I agree I do act like for pre pub kid. (Don’t play fifa I was always a Pro Evo chap) and agree can be negative and like today throw my dummies out the Pram, a bit like how the owners keep on buying dummies.  

But yeah read back on my posts if really interested, I rarely post on match forums, tend to be watching the games. Not only that you will then also see in my posts that not only is everything my opinion that I am also a bit of a seer, so don’t need the feel like the need to say I told you so, no hindsight with me! 

Yeah it’s your club and my club, luckily I have seen the highs (many haven’t) if you think all his rosy, no worries it’s your club, we need the happy clappers (and by that I am not saying you’re delighted to have an STD). So yeah had the highs but it’s those lows that have made me wary, cautious, realistic, which some would call being negative but not one to bury my head in the sand and I will say what I have on my mind on an open forum even if some don’t like it, and I may get surprised to get a response like yours, and have to be honest enjoyed your post, loved being called out. 

Finally, I will post something positive when they have earned it. Not sure anyone can say they have so far this year, but hey at least Derby are below us !!
