Tiotes Witch Doctor

Not like we've got another striker on the bench with a similar goals to minutes ratio this season.

Don't Brighton have a history of choking later in the season though? Do think they will win the league though, still holes in our team and something not quite right yet.

Can see a 2-0 win for this one.

Hes alright but wouldn't sign him permanently, needs loads of time and space to be effective.

Much improved tonight, thank god.

He would provide more cover to the defence than Colback or Hayden do, not really sure how that's pointless considering the amount of times Sheff Wed played it through the middle with ease on Monday. I'd also like to keep my username. Didn't see the last game but I just think we have so much possession in most games it'd be pointless to have a player like Tiote in there Would agree and in a perfect world I don't want him here but when your best CM is out and one of the alternatives is Colback, we might as well use him.

There will be a meltdown on here if we lose tomorrow. And rightly so to an extent.

Think he would do well in this league personally, was one of the better players in our unbeaten run before relegation and is head and shoulders above Colback, would have Tiote in and give Hayden more license to get forward (hes looked effective doing so at times this season) and keep Diame behind Gayle, because he isn't going to go 4-4-2, no matter how many times people say it.

Has created as many chances as your mate Shelvey this season if a 3rd party, untrusted article is to believed. Is a chance created classed as any ball hoyed into the area though? No doubt. No. Either way the quality of the ball can sometimes determine what happens with the finish, I remember Sissoko being top 3 in the league for chances created last season, enough said.

Nar, get him out now.

Ok 70%

Manages to find the area where nobody is 90% of the time.

His corners are absolutely tragic too.

What is going on

He's done pretty much as well as we expected, wouldn't call it a miracle Aye, McClaren would have probably gave us a good go of getting back into the PL truth be told, but all the background work and restoring some class and pride to the club is invaluable. But on the football side of things we wont really experience the full Rafa benefit until we're back in the big time.

Imaging having him as an option over the likes of Perez man, stuff of dreams.

He might have an initial good reaction on a new club but still cant see him having the nous to sort Swansea out, they are a mess.

7.

Diame deeper fills me with dread tbh, but anything is better than Colback.

Yes, they always show Home games in NINE. Been like that since it opened. Well fuck my arse I had no idea, why have I been listening to the radio some home games

I was in the NINE bar before the game on boxing day and I'm sure the announcer said they show all home games in there on the tellies, can anyone confirm this or was I hearing things? Waited too long to get a Forest ticket and fancy watching it.

Some people don't know they're born/remember that our last three managers were John Carver, Steve McLaren, and Alan Pardew. It's quite alarming how quickly people have taken things for granted. We're owed NOTHING by Rafa, learn to have a bit of faith and humility. So hes not allowed criticism at all?
