The timing of signing Shelvey and Wood was weird. Seemed like they were just starting to gel. 

They got a lot of injuries so had to get a couple in. Think they still have 12 or 13 out

Most of our deadwood is championship level, they can punt us some of that parachute money. 

 

Aye but they seem to be happy to take them now and at rather generous prices

After the insanity of the summer Cooper did a pretty good job by mid season gelling them into a team that’s picked up a decent amount of points considering their circumstances. I thought there was a good chance they’d be be cut adrift early, still think they go mind.

I like Forest more than some of the other clubs though. We almost got boring Burnley back next season so hoping these can survive and Southampton, Bournemouth and perhaps Everton go down.

Tbf the 3 appearances is ridiculous, if its true then how on earth were they convinced that would be a smart idea?

They seem to be suggesting it was a way around officially buying him in January and it went on the books as a loan instead. No idea how that is a benefit, fair play rules as the transfer fee goes through in Sumer? 
 

what a come down for the lad, pushing for CL in dec, now pushing not to be in the championship.

I'm certainly not well versed but that's all I can see it being. Just a way to spread their expenditure out considering the money already spaffed.

Feel a lot more sorry for Forest fans than I do for Chris Wood. He's done pretty well to have gotten moves to two fairly well rated Premier clubs when he's clearly championship level and an aging champ level player at that.

The fact some people defended Wood for so long ffs :lol:

 

He was absolute trash. and Forest fans are seeing that quickly.

 

Hopefully not to strike up too much debate as no offence to him but he isn't worth that much hassle. :lol: But were that many people really defending him so much as defending the decision to get an experienced body in?

 

He was shite more often than not but it was a body that our more effective players could work off. Even without the utterly insane return we got on him I'd be happy for the club to do it again in the same circumstances.

 

Oh, and the meowing at Zouma means I'll always have a soft spot for him.

That didn't happen unfortunately.

Have to say we've got some fans who can't really just get over it and give it a rest. 

 

1) We HAD to sign a striker with the injury crisis and it appeared nobody was willing to come to our shit show that we targeted

2) We made a very desperate and expensive buy in Wood

3) He played his part, scored a crucial goal here and there, provided a focal point and we rampaged through the rest of the season safely

4) In spite of him or because of him, he was in that 11 and he played a fuck load of minutes and we had top 7 form end of last season?

5) He played his part again this season at various times, he was clearly less effective and he left

6) Please lets not forget he played in a few key big games pre-world cup and did his fucking job

7) He was a dressing room leader, said over and over by Howe

8) Ashworth got him off the books and we're getting paid 17m for him

 

Tron, the above take is childish jibberish mate. Like really - why in the living fuck would you care or feel sorry for the Forest fans? Chris Wood was well liked by our staff, our coaching setup, his teammates and he worked his bollocks off and did a job (more often not good enough for where we wanted to be).

 

In Calendar year 2022, which basically includes most of Wood's time here - we were 4th with 72 points.
