You know, Marin O’Neill really is a good manager. I think many Forest fans have got carried away with the false high position we got to and now are very unfairly blaming everything on MON. Some comments haven’t just been unfair but downright stupid.
This squad clearly isn’t ready for promotion. New manager bounce didn’t happen because the players already had the hump with Marinakis because of the uncertainty over Karanka. Karanka clearly well liked by the players left a squad unwilling to perform for whoever came in. MON will sort that over the close season and with a few good additions may well produce a squad that IS ready for promotion. Marinakis’s backing of O’Neill is vital to ensure the players understand they must perform. I’d like to think that much of the reason for Cavalho’s 90 minute masterclass yesterday was much to do with O’Neills handling of him. Compare yesterday to what we had been getting from him before. The odd flash of brilliance. We got 90 minutes of endeavour as well as an abundance of top drawer creativity. Yesterday he played for the team and never hid.
I’m sure O’Neill now knows where our weaknesses are and a long list of target players already being spoken to and also a long list players who will or should be leaving.
We’re getting progress now. Mid table or just above compared with years of struggle.
It’s a saying most Forest fans are well familiar with but Rome really wasn’t built in a day. But we have a thoroughbred project manager on it now.
