Your Thoughts On The Current Nottingham Forest Manager

[Strawberry Avenger]

I think it is case we need to just accept we aren't as good as we think we should be and that we need a few seasons of sorting ourselves out. This season i feel was more what players do we have and how can we play, rather than a this is how i want us to play and these are the players who can deliver this. I still have massive doubts over CH and his way of playing in general. But i would rather see us play boring ridged football and come away with wins and points on the board with the view of building towarrds something rather than trying to play a more open, flair and exciting brand of football and getting beat each week. Boring and ridged at least gives a base to build on.

Yes some sense, it would do the whole fanbase a favour to accept this realisation too!

Agree with this, though as others have said, Brighton played good stuff for 2 full seasons in Championship under him.

I live in hope but think Lolley and Colback could be pretty useful to us if they get a full injury free preseason under their belts. Only 2 seasons ago they were both fairly outstanding. If either one of them can repeat that form, then will be a huge boost.

Aside from that, Chris Hughton has a big job, but is definitely the man to complete it.

One more game to go...

It's a bite of reality sandwich for those supporters expect Hughton to get Forest top 6 with Sabri's crap squad.  Forest were dreadful for most of the 2nd half of last year.  This isn't a side that was performing great after Sabri was sacked.  They were rock bottom.  Having lost 6 straight matches with a poor run of results in pre-season.

They were unfit, mediocre and ill prepared.  Psychologically shot.

'Stability' was called for.  Otherwise, we were going down.  That might not suit the free flowing romantics.  But the fact remains you can't coach goal scoring.  You either have it in your squad or you buy some in.  As an interim, you shut up shop.  And yes.  That means rigid football.

Hughton brought in much better players in Jan'.  Less of them.  I'm keen to see what he can do with a full Summer.

In Sabri's time here.  Can anyone name a decent striker that he brought in?  The last decent striker we brought in was Grabban.  That was years ago.

SA.
