My confidence and feel good factor in MON and RK is growing.

I think MoN and Roy did a decent job with a team and squad that wasn't theirs.

The tactical flexibility and the way the team was set up to counter each opponent e.g. Preston (completely neutralised...) augers well for the future.

Even the quick but incisive action to bring in the CHs to cover a back line that had been on verge of a crisis and finally was.

I'm sure if they could have brought in an additional striker and winger they would have done.  But hard to do that in January?  And that, along with Grabban being injured for how many games and being off form before that accounts for the points dropped.  You're not winning games without your star striker.  And Forest deemed having 1 'unfit' striker good enough for all season.  Madness.  Just just having Dawson, an ageing classic, thrashed at CH.  It was never going to work all season.  The back line and front line evidence the same flawed recruitment policy from the Summer whilst being overloaded with an abundance of CMs, many of whom, didn't play an awful lot.

It must be remembered that not having your key striker is a recipe for struggle.  As Brian Clough found out after he let Teddy Sheringham go.  It doomed him.  And Forest.

If that's what they can do without their own players, I can't wait to see what they can do with their own players.  I'm expecting far more robust recruitment, players who will 'die' for the cause.

And when he's had a year doing that.  Then any fair comparisons to managers past can be drawn.  He's a Forest legend with a glittering CV.

That deserves time.  At least a year.  (Although that may seem a long time in this 'Twitter-short-attention-span-over-stimulated' times.)

i'm very tempted to start a thread .. 'How long will the unbeaten run last .. ''  i appreciate it was maybe not as good as it can be made out to be, but what if the winning and clean sheets were to continue, or just purely unbeaten would do, nice to get a run of wins/clean sheets but i don't care if we win 5.4 or 1.0, happy for any win, happy for any type of performance that results in a win.  

Either way, by the time the new season starts we'll be unbeaten for 100 days plus!  

I love the association with Clough, even more as M o N is pre Clough, i think it is incredible, really want it to work out for him, even more so having RK here as well, it's beautiful and feels like end of an era, a long era and going on into a new era ... an new chapter where we need some new heroes, some memories the kids of today will be able to talk to their grandchildren about in the distant future

Jokanovic was 10th with Fulham after half a season there. By this club's standards he'd be gone.

[Jean_claude_killy]

Jokanovic joined Fulham on 27th December and finished 10th in his first season; Martin O Neill joined on 15th January, and finished 9th in his first season.

There appears to have been a marked change in our standards, unless 19 days and one league position counts for that much.

MoN is the third manager of the current regime; one of the previous managers walked and the other backed himself into a corner.

Hardly the record of a hire and fire ownership.

So anyone have any good information about our new manager. I’ve heard he impressed winning the Prince’s Cup for El Jaish in Qatar...

[BadDog]

My thoughts are, I have absolutely no idea about him!

[woody]

Well he usually stay for around one and a half years at a club but I doubt he'll keep this average up at our club.

The generic title of this thread showed excellent foresight.

It means we didnt need to change the title in January, dont need to change it now and we wont need to change it in a few months time when the next poor sap is appointed.
