Kolo Muani sounds like the ideal signing to me. Covers two positions, and particularly the right wing, where we need strengthening. He's definitely a significant upgrade on what we have. Eddie doesn't like loan signings, unless there's an option to buy. Whether the player would go for that, of course, is another issue.
-
I'm most intrigued - who or what is Dobby and what is the connection with Steve Parish. Anyone?
-
I feel optimistic about a top four place. The last three games haven't been dazzling, but the players have shown a certain faith in one another and the system that they've been asked to play which augurs well. I get the sense that we can now pick up points from anywhere.

All schadenfreude I know, but I did enjoy watching MOTD, and the pre-produced introduction to our game, with all these Forest fans and pundits hailing the return of the glory days. In reality, I think they were one of the weaker sides we've faced. Their only goal came from a badly defended set-piece, and their main threat seemed to come from fast breaks. Credit as always to Eddie, who had them well sussed-out, and Bruno, who dominated the midfield.

I would like to officially change my opinion of this player. Defensively I had thought he was a weak link and that he wasn't strong enough under physical pressure. Maybe there's been a change in his fitness level, but either way, I take it all back.

I really wanted us to win that. I was so fed up of the media suddenly deciding how marvelous Forest and Wood were, just on the back of their league position. The commentators seemed to have bought into that, because they failed to acknowledge our domination of the game. Great performance from Hall. He really looks the part now.

Eddie Howe was MOTM for me. Tactically he had it spot on, and we smothered their attacking play very smell. I can't believe it when some supporters and pundits talk about needing another manager to take us to the next level. Utter bollocks. Our man is second to none. Great to see Lewis Hall playing with such confidence, but Bruno stood out as well. We take good performances almost for granted with him, but he barely put a foot wrong all game.
-
I do worry whether Tino is actually going backwards at the moment. Hall seems to have responded well to the coaching he's received, but I don't see the same development in Tino.

This does feel a bit like a flavour of the month signing. The Premiership is full of excellent managers that he'll be competing against. I doubt whether that's the case with the Portuguese league. We'll see.

Well obviously I don't know for sure, but one of the hazards of a 2-0 lead is that the team in the lead can relax a bit and surrender the initiative. If the opposition then score, it's game on, they get fired up and the team in the lead suddenly faces pressure and the need to raise their game again. It felt like one of those games, that's all.
-
We looked the more likely winners from the start - perhaps we wanted it more. If Chelsea had scored in the second half, they'd have probably got more, so it was never entirely comfortable. But a good effort by the lads.

I had to turn the sound off after 20 minutes. He and his colleague just didn't stop talking - often about other games - literally. Just tell us who's got the ball and shut up. We can do the rest ourselves.
