Diogo Goncalves & Joao Carvalho

I totally agree with you on that point. Opinions differ but the question is if it really should differ. If you disregard any non-footballing reasons like looks, hairstyle, tattoos etc. and just try to evaluate the player purely based on footballing reasons it shouldn't be that big of a gap in opinions. My theory is that most football fans don't really understand roles and responsibilities of the different team formations and are not trained enough to be able to do a proper analysis of a game. For example. most fans tend to just follow the ball and don't really see what's happening off the ball.

The Osborn haters will probably argue that he was the worst player on the pitch against Leeds and that his goal was just pure luck  :D

Wow GB I do find that post a touch patronising. Whoever bases their thoughts on a player by their looks? Where has that come from.
The majority of fans I know base their thoughts on the whole game not just ball watching.
I know of no Forest Fans who 'hate' a player they might not rate them but 'hate' is a very harsh word to use. I certainly would never say I hated anyone in a Red Shirt.
