Glasner claimed he doesnt always play 5 at the back. Then plays 5 at the back.
I hate 3 at the back and it has never worked at Forest. Jerkan anyone? Its boring to watch. Lets face it. He is boring too
I can see what's going to happen. Sacked by Feb and Nuno comes back and all is forgiven.

Nuno took a lot of time to grt a tune out of the squad, we were awful in a lot of games when he first came in, things take time and Oliver should be afforded it.

Favorite Formation:
"He openly calls 4-4-2 his favorite system, which he used successfully earlier in his career (such as during his promotion in Austria).
Player Suitability First:
Glasner stresses that the system itself is secondary. What truly matters are the player habits, patterns of behavior, and tactical clarity on the pitch.
Fluidity:
He has used many different formations throughout his career depending on the squad, including a 4-2-3-1 (reaching the Champions League with Wolfsburg) and a back-three/3-4-2-1 setup (at Eintracht Frankfurt and Crystal Palace").
I suppose the issue is he has decided on a style he thinks will work best and trying to implement that. It will take time to bed in. In the meantime it’s ok people asking him to be fluid and change in match because the style he’a trying to build isn’t working but say he does that, wouldn’t that cause more issues/confusion for the players asking them to swap and change? Maybe he’s trying to get the players settled in this style first and will then work on ingame management and options to switch up/around if needed.

Find it weird that OG is bemoaning fitness given that they’ve pretty much had a full pre season under him and it was his choice to do the “teams play 45 minutes” approach

He said in one interview to the effect that some players came back from summer holidays in "not very good" conditiion.
After 10 games we will see where we are, dont judge anything until then.

Pretty sure he was referring to 2 or 3 individuals who are coming back from injuries and not the squad as a whole.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.

A fair point but for me it’s key players like Murillo, Wood, CHO who haven’t had a full season and still coming back from injury as well as Diomande who hasn’t had a full preseason and so having to be managed/eased back that is perhaps the concern. It means we are having to play some out of position which doesn’t help.
Once all up to speed and with Delap and hopefully a couple of other new additions I think we will look much better. Something like
Sels
RWB Diomande Milenkovic Murillo Williams
Sangare CM
Jesus MGW
Delap
With New GK, Aina, Netz, Cunha, Morato, Schlager, Yates, McAtee, Dominguez, Ndoye, Hutchinson, Kalimuendo, CHO and Wood/New ST to cover.

Glasner's going to find out pretty quickly that the tolerance levels for poor results at this club are much lower than at the likes of clubs like Palace.
Lose on Saturday (with a similar formation and poor performance), which is the probable scenario imo, and then not get a win at home to Spurs the week after and he's bang in the danger zone both with fans and the owner.

Surely this formation suits playing away at the top sides?
Also, we played fine on Saturday, not great but also not terrible (last night was different). This is all a massive overreaction, we don't want to be talking about the danger zone after 4 days of being the manager ffs. We don't want to keep sacking managers, that isn't how you finish above 17th.
Insane to even be insinuating the manager being under pressure, this is how you end up with 4 sackings in a year.

Wassy, no one's saying we need to sack the manager. We're all just debating where we are at the moment. I've expressed the opinion that I'm disappointed that the system doesn't seem to be working, as it's taking away from the positives I think our team has. Hopefully there'll be new positives to come, but we cant see these yet.
And whether you like it being said or not, no way will our fan base and our owner give Glasner 10 games to get his first 3 points. That's just not going to wash here.

You are suggesting if we don't win either of these games he will be in trouble, is that not what Danger Zone means?
I'm saying stuff like this is exactly how we end up with changing manager repeatedly. The fans opinion on manager's definitely gets listened to under this regime.

We got promoted with 3 at the back, that worked at Forest?!!
