Optimistic Nut

The goal couldn't be more Tony Bloom moneyball if you tried. An Albanian signed from the Italian lower leagues, with a high number of assists at that level, putting an absolute pearler of a cross.

Frank Clark to attend tomorrow with him being a former team mate and ex-Forest manager would be a lovely touch.

Hearts steal the derby at the death. 5 points clear.

Sels, Darlow & Dubravka being starting PL keepers in 2025 is insane.

Is he too far gone now to be anything as LW where he banged them in at the lower levels? I watch him play and he's easy to watch, but needs to offer far more output.

I know he'll have rehab and whatnot, but 6-8 weeks of not playing after a summer away with the u21s and a potential World Cup next summer, might be a bit of a break for him?

The fact 3 people got to see replays of that and still called it wrong is ridiculous. Can accept onfield referees missing certain things in real time even if they can sometimes look obvious on screen, but that last night is a farce.

They're crackers. 6 games. Let's see what he's like come December when their form has dropped off, he's knackered, etc.

Aberdeen ahead v Shakhtar.

I don't normally encourage it, but why is he so accepting and cool about it instead of booting off?

You turn up in Lampeter with Nuno Espirito Santo on your arm, they're gonna go, "What are you doing here?!".

4 years ago since Bruce lead this side to a 2-1 loss at Wolves, with sub Hendrick scoring the last goal of the Ashley era.

Antony as well.

Happy that the likes of Botman, Barnes & Tonali look like they're going to be around for most of this campaign unlike 2 years ago due to injury and the ban. Add Hall being deemed as usable this time out and we seem much better equipped even minus Isak.

Him & Wissa are also comfortable on the right, wonder if maybe a Murphy sale in January or next summer while he's at his absolute peak could be an option?

12 points from 8 games, lower than what you'd need over a season but when you throw in the fact we'd have played 6 of the other 8 top 9 teams from last season in the first 8 games, it'd not be far off par probably.

Finished at RB, wonder if we might see him start there the odd game to give Trippier a break while Tino is out, with Schar coming back in?

Fully expect to see a graphic soon on how Man Utd have made more money from this season's Champions League as what we have.

Woltemade at ay Woltemade ayyyy yay £70m down the drain Big Nick has scored again.

Pretty much got our money back within a year? Targett the only real "miss", and even that was due to injuries.

Next two games home to teams with 2 losses out of 2. Great chance.

I thought he was excellent. Couple of crosses so far this season that just needed a toe and he'd have some good assists. He'll be great for us.

He's turning into a genuine outlet from the bench.

The link up with the 1-2 for a chance b Bradford is the sort of chance I think he'd get plenty of playing around Woltemade.

Banter.
