Is there hatred? Honestly haven't seen any. If anything he's adored.

[TheGreenMan]

He’s definitely adored in the ground and rightly so by fans who actually attend games.

One of the best technically players we’ve had in a long time.

Remain doubtful that we can field both Silva & Carvalho in the same starting X1 - yet.

Would be very worried if we went with that in a home game, let alone an away game. We saw at Blackburn that as a central combo they were two lightweight. 

Both are talented but both in the team together at this stage of their career weakens the side rather than strengthens it

[Camms]

Carvalho is obviously very talented but always feel he could do so much More. He dominated Middleborough in a terrific performance  last season but I can remember alot of mediocre performances too. He's not undroppable .

Yeah you’re right, but he certainly isn’t the only one. And no one’s undroppable absolutely no one. 

But I think some of the hatred towards him comes from the transfer fee we paid for him. It’s not his fault we paid slightly over the odds for his services. It’s not our money so don’t worry about it.

Can someone actually post some evidence of that accusation please?

I presume that is aimed at me GreenMan.

For your information I have been to 4 games this season and so far spent over 2,000 pounds to support my team. By the seasons end I would have spent over 10,000 pounds.

Just saying.

No because there is no evidence.

[the jock]

Exactly

[Frochy1977]

^ This. There is zero evidence. Nobody hates any Forest player. Ridiculous to think otherwise.

[Alf]

I've been very critical of the price we've paid for Carva and the overall contribution he makes in relation to that, but I thrive on the kid and really like him.

I just wish we'd have paid a proper price for him (4-5m) and have a quality second striker & winger here with the 7-8m we'd have saved.

[Derby My Arse]

Silva - Carvalho. Silva looking the better of the two at the moment.

Rafa Mir's first full league debut must be one of the worst in history. I was shocked at how bad he was.

Aye, although he hasn't looked great in previous games either.

Our forward line is incredibly thin and has been for well over a year now. Mir looks like he needs at least 3-5 games to get into the swing of things, and we simply can't afford to drop points in 3-5 more games to allow him to do that.

We've lost 6pts this year largely from relying on young players not ready for promotion (Wigan with Mir & WBA with Muric). Might seem hypercritical, but we'd be top with 28pts now with those victories, and that's the fine margin between success & being nearly-men again.

Every Jan signinng should be ready to hit the ground running.
