Positive Comments/Blind Optimism Only Thread

[Marinakis Red]

SA has yet to come on this thread quoting every single reply with his own post about the lack of Hughton signings and the merits of every player in the squad.

Post of the month! How many permanent additions has Hughton had in the last year SM?

Everyone is very stressed atm so I thought I'd bring back the positive comments only thread. Hopefully admin will do the right thing if anyone demean the thread with negativity.

So positive thoughts ahead of Derby:

Derby are S**t
Garner has signed now
Worrall might be back(?)
Zinckernagel looks good
We don't have a game for a few weeks afterwards so less suffering
It'll be over by lunchtime

We had 'some' pre-season.
We won our games pre-season and 1 draw.
Car' and many of the returning loans played in pre-season.
12 Academy players in the squad.
5 Academy players in the 1st team.
We appointed a new CEO.
We appointed a recruitment committee which has Gary Brazil amongst others...)
Hughton's managerial experience has Forest competing in all the games we've played so far.  Getting back into games and holding out for quite a while.
Hughton has the team starting brightly in the league games.
There is attacking intent.
Hughton has listened to the fans and involved Car'.
Hughton has played youth.  Eg. Brennan, Car', Mighten, Gabriel, Yates etc.
Hughton has given both strikers a chance.
Hughton has stayed with Samba despite Horvath pushing for his place.
Hughton is showing faith in the players at his disposal.
We have scored goals.
Horvath's promising displays in the cup.
The Academy holding out against a £100 million plus squad for an hour.
Zinc Man.
ZINC MAN!
The Academy defeating Bradford.
Fin Back.
Richardson.
Fornah.
Forest are competing for quality targets in the transfer market.
Garner.  We got 'our man.'
We've changed our recruitment model to be more 'balanced' and overall younger going forwards.
We have an excellent manager to balance this transition going forwards.

IF we get the 4-5 more we need in, we should be able to get about them with the international break for another mini-pre-season with the new faces to re-load and begin the fightback.

And there's loads more.

SA has yet (I hope I didn't disappoint.) to come on this thread quoting every single reply with his own post about the lack of Hughton signings (still hasn't got any permanent out field players) and the merits of every player in the squad.  (I'll leave that to others.  But we have some promising Academy talent, some of which aren't ready to shoulder the burden without quality signings around them.)

Post of the month! How many permanent additions has Hughton had in the last year SM?  (How many outfield permanent signings has Hughton made in the last year?)

How many?

The positive from the loans?  They're Zinc Man and Garner.

Madforit has disappeared since I sent him EM's email address and he said he was going to write to him  :dodgy:

No I'm still here :D

I'm waiting with anticipation for the window to close  :D

Ahh you mean you bottled it :D

No I didn't, I will send the big man an email, just wondering if you will reply to it  :D

[Paplane]

We're going to be a big day out for sides next season.

Worrall and Soh back in training, source Sausage Roll  :D

[Joe Baker Legend]

When is a Negative a Positive? When you get your PCR result!..........

Here I come St Petersburg

[Strawberry Avenger]

Worrall and Soh back in training, source Sausage Roll  :D

That's great news.

Hopefully Worrall can make it for the Derby game.  I'm sure he won't want to miss it.

He's been a big miss for Forest.

Danes has got more than 3000 minutes to save the club, that is alot of minutes

[Alf]

Yeah, this whole mess is IMO the fallout from the mismanagement of the past few years, where Vrentroz was the driving force behind a short-sighted and naïve....ahem.....*stratergy*.

That's now changed, whilst some people may be upset about the lack of transfers, I'm far happier that we're taking our time getting in players who are deemed to be the right fit at the right price.

It's still very early days yet, I don't expect things to be perfect, but I think if the next 5 or so days go our way and Dane is given time & backing we'll build a proper foundation which will see us thrive further down the line.

We really could just be a few weeks away from a new attacking manager with a few Zinc-level signings, and looking forward again.

Its on page 3 compared to the Transfers in/out thread now on page 321 which might end up on 400 pages closely followed by the mass suicide, slit my wrist and gently float by the Trent end thread once the window is closed.

The weather looks favourable for saturday with no snow being forecast in the Derby area. So fingers crossed the match should be on!!  :cool:
