Your Thoughts On The Current Nottingham Forest Manager

[TheGreenMan]

When Hughton was appointed the owners still expected a fight for top 6. Have no doubts about that.

But that would be overachieving.

Judging any manager on this shambles of a squad which Modesto & co lumbered us with isn't really fair. Looking at Hughton's signings

Garner - been fantastic, would love to see him back
Krovi - been good, lacked goals but still done more than enough that I'd welcome him back
Knockers - been hit & miss, but has done enough to say his loan has helped keep us well clear of relegation
Murray - served a very valuable purpose, and scored some key goals in some key games to help keep us away from that relegation battle

Good to say they were all signed on loan for £0 transfer fee and most in a tricky Jan window, I'm happy to see how Hughton can shape the squad before judging him. When you compare that to the toss loans such as Mir, Diakhaby etc. it's absolute night and day. Give Hughton the 20m which Modesto & Mendez spent on Carvalho, Soudani, Da Costa & Jenks and we'd have a FAR better squad here.

This season reminds me of Davies' the season he kept us up. Given a bit of time & backing and we had our best set of back to back seasons in 20 years. Hopefully Hoots can do the same.

Ugh I had forgotten Diakhaby existed!

It's a fair point though, we did good business this window. under CH. He clearly is well liked within the game, even if we don't get Garner back we're well placed to get equivalent players like him.

Alf mi owd mucker. Where have you been?

Been having a few treatments the past few months which mean I've not been able to eat for prolonged periods mate, so been sleeping LOTS lol. Hardly been on the net at all.

Hope you and everyone has been well on here. Here's to next season :)

Sorry to hear that Alf. I hope you are well on the way to a full recovery mate.

[Tricky]

I agree with Sniff, Alf. Hope you have a speedy recovery mate

Agree with this Alf.  I've said it a few times now  but if we can't get anywhere in this league with Chris Hughton at the helm, then we are in trouble.

Outside of the shambolic 1st couple of months, we have looked very strong at the back.

Missed chances though has cost us numerous points and I mean real sitters or "should at least hit the target" type chances this season, like never before. Yes there were spells in the season where we created very little, but some games, (like todays) we should have been out of site before dropping points. Not just a few games either, loads of them!

Hard to pin that on the boss.

The only other ex manager with a similar win rate was Megson, who had over 15 games.

And he was given time as he had two promotions to the premier league on his cv and look how that turned out backing him?!

Well let's hope that for once you are wrong and not proved right as usual.

Today's 1st half, saw more quality football played by Forest than in Megsons whole career at all his clubs together.

Yes all the best Alf. Hopefully you have a good summer and the signings are to your liking!
