Mahoneys Tache Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 My forest supporting mate is horrified. I think they are buying him as much for his experience and maturity (for a given value of mature) and to help all the youngsters as they are a player on the field.

KDT Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I see Forest are already having to loan out 2 of their signings from last summer, Toffolo & O'Brien. Dennis has been pretty bad as well, the scatter gun approach not really working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd told Forest after the Play-Off Final they'd be 13th after half a season they'd have bitten your hand off. I don't think they'd have been anywhere near that if they'd not done what they have.

Yep. I think being where they are after having to basically buy an entire squad in the summer is testament to how good the manager is. If they're a bit more settled next season they might be even higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I was an ardent hater of his but, imo, he redeemed himself somewhat with his fitness and play last year. Had he been healthy from the start i think the club would have been happy to extend him. But, since he wasn't I'm sure the club told him that he's no longer in our plans for next year so he'd likely sit and not trigger the extension. Wood and Shelvey are both part of a limited rebalancing which I'm fine with. Just surprised that it came in January and with Shelvey, this late in the window. Hopefully someone is queued up to replace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I still think there's a real chance they could go down, they're the 3rd lowest scorers and conceded the 2nd most. IMO it's down to other clubs under performing (Leicester, Wolves, Leeds & West Ham) that they're in the position that they are. Their next few games will do a lot for how they end up, their run in is pretty awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they had little chance after the way they recruited, huge credit to Cooper and his staff that they seem to have moulded these players into a decent team already. Even if they do go down in the end they’ve done well. Edited January 30, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoricGinola Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 You'd like to think with Shelveys contract extension clause on the verge of being triggered we were prepared for this. Fingers crossed we'll be announcing cover by game time tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hasn’t done too badly since the takeover, and seemed to get his head together and do the extra work to get fit. However, for me, the lasting memory was when he pathetically and aimlessly floated that last minute free kick when Lewis Dunk was in goal for Brighton when Howe was about to sign. Wont miss him.

astraguy Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Sad to see him leave tbh,I understand if we have a younger replacement lined up but jonjo was only 30 and he would be a class player to turn to if we make Europe to unlock terms Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
