Your Thoughts On The Current Nottingham Forest Manager

[Spangles]

Getting back to the thread title....I thought Simon Ireland got quite alot wrong in tricky circumstances. Probably didn't want the gig in fairness. Stating the obvious play on words.... Brazil better than Ireland.

I doubt he had much input in selection, tactics, approah, etc. Karanka took training on Thursday.

Agreed. But they didn't exactly appear motivated first half and completely lost the plot 2nd. From one extreme to the other. Don't think Karanka had pre planned subs though. Grabban came on and we actually played some decent football for about 10 mins even with 10 men, easy to say now, but Carvalho with Grabbs has previous and could have created something. 
're loss of control, you could see Murphy was goingvto to clatter the guy as a few seconds before he had been mugged, got nothing and as he got up the ball came back into the area of pitch where he was and off he went. A decent ref probably spots first foul, but still our players acted foolishly when we were still in the game. Readings Moore should have gone too.  Colback was very close to going, but I think ref had lost control early on. Fox scissor tackle in 1st 10 mins could have been a straight red these days too if we are honest. Reading gave plenty back after this though and bleating on their forums about over physical/ dirty Forest is one eyed. Also, claiming Moore lost it as he was spat it was horse sh1t too as he ran 30 yards to pile in, and if you square up to a Scouser you know that if they speak you're getting a soaking! 
I'm moving on from that game now as so many circumstances conspired to see us lose.

"and if you square up to a Scouser you know that if they speak you're getting a soaking "


One of the best things i've read in ages ! :)
