People forget Cooper was learning the Prem as he went along. I am sure he will come good wherever he goes with more experience. Nuno has the experience and already showing it. Huge love for both managers and their roles at Forest

As promised team, FFP update!

2) Did Brennan need to be sold?
3) Are Forest longer-term financially stable?
Enjoy and let me know your comments!

Everyone can see Elanga is rapid. But notice Awoniyi started this off and then ran QUICKER than Elanga (admittedly he had the ball) and every Arsenal player to make up the ground after the pass!!! What can’t Awoniyi do?!? Amazing!

Everyone chill. Burnley and ShefU are not on fire. Palace are now in serious trouble with injuries. Brentford fixtures are a nightmare. Everton are in the docks with us. All in our hands. Play with passion and purpose, and even points-, all fine

Sangaré perspective:
Every human is different, mentally, adaptability etc
Illness, injury, AFCON all meant a stop start season
6 role needs confidence and rhythm
He can tackle and pass well. Adapting to Prem speed needed in pre season
He WILL come good next season 🔮

Forest’s beefed up transfer team:
Already PSR safe, we wanted Anderson and Newcastle needed to sell.
They wanted Elanga in return.
We still got Anderson, but we offloaded Vlach.
Hit it out of the park.
Long may it continue

PSR deadline:
The deadline has passed and MGW, Murillo & CHO all still here. If they leave, will only be for BIG money on OUR terms pre 1st Sept.
Only Niakhaté left from matchday squad.
Hugely talented young players joined.
Beyond excited for 24/25

Adebayo:
Forest need a backup striker & winger.
Nuno wants a slim squad. He does both well.
He fits the pace & trickery we have up front. Prem proven.
On £12.5k pw at Luton. 26yrs old, needs to get his big move now.

O’Brien (0.78)
Mighten (0.18)
Bowler (0.21)

Omobamidele:
If you had said a month ago that you were nearly worry free to start him vs top 1/2 of the table teams, most would have likely said you were mad.
Silver linings of AFCON, that will hugely benefit Forest in the run in. Plus a hugely appreciating asset

Monday morning perspective Forest fans.
If Forest win Luton (H) that will be 3W 3D 3L. 1.33 points per game, over a season 50.66 points. Comfortably mid table. Mix of most difficult and most easy games, so fair sample.
#NFFC

Possible thought:
IF Mangala sold, move Murillo into mid, being the base of the pivot and spraying passes. Niakhaté, Boly & Omobamidele DCs
Sangare/dominguez/yates in the roaming role.
Use the money to loan a keeper and buy a winger, buy GK in the summer

Sometimes there are little sparks that ignite a season where you least expect it. Look at the interactions with Turner. MGW didn’t look worried either. Taiwo came through. Players are coming back. ManU at home for a cup round of 16. Struggling Newcastle first 🤞🏼💪🏼💪🏼💥💥🔥🔥

Worrall:
An amazing captain and servant to Forest. Nothing but love for him.
But the reality is that he is not as good as Murillo, Boly, Niakhaté or Omobamidele (potential defo).
Can’t be sentimental and he should want to play as well. Head, not heart, he needs to move on

Mangala perspective:
Sad ✅
Best mid this season ✅
Peak time to sell for value ✅
Sangare, Dominguez & Danilo are the future ✅
Deepest position in the squad ✅
Forest just need to not balls up a business sensible decision by selling for less than £35m.
Be Brighton

Todays game:
- Murillo class after shaky first 10 mins
- Sangaré touch and quick progressive passing awesome
- Mangala and Boly playing at levels from end of last season
- Dominguez work rate, drive and goal excellent
- Toffolo still class at crossing
- Vlach to get a turn

Points deduction perspective:
So no points back. Points were already reduced so it was a long shot.
Don’t let it derail the feel good from this weekend.
Still the same position, Luton lose, Burnley draw/lose and we are safe before kick off.
Stay strong, stay vocal on Sat

There is a reason why he is key in away games and the team make it so clear here.

No need to sell BJ. PLEASE STOP ALL HARMFUL CHATTER. He is loved and wanted.

That was one of Luton’s winnable games. Burnley losing firmly halts their progress. Everton will have the win bounce popped with likely points deductions before their next game.
Calms heads and any points from Spurs are a bonus, whole 7 game picture

Since Nuno has joined, Forest in the Prem have scored 2,3,2,2,1,1,2. Vs Bournx2, Newx2, ManU, Bren, Ars.
Boly, Aina, Niakhaté and Filipe back into the first team. Sels in goal.
Conceding 1 less in each of those games = 6 more points.
Keep the faith Forest, all will be ok

If MGW can start finishing like that more often, CHO gets confidence from Nuno and shoots more, Elanga continues upwards and Taiwo returns fit and hungry (Wood has been great under Nuno too)…anyone else excited..? 4-2-3-1 👊🏼💪🏼

This was Nuno’s response to conceding another goal from a set piece (below)…
If it is ‘an easy situation to solve’ then just flipping well solve it NOW!!

Iheanacho:
On a free, pacy, can play wide as well at a push.
With the right coaching, he is lethal.
If wages are not too high, why not take a punt and save cash for defenders?

Dennis does not lack effort, desire, speed, desire and ability to beat midfielders and defenders. He just needs confidence back and coaching how/went to pass and get his head up. Winger solution for free + some Nuno harsh coaching

So Sancho is prob off in Jan, and is on £250k pw. Would he take a pay cut to get under the wing of Cooper and rebuild at Forest with MGW and CHO? How much would you be willing to pay in wages for him?

All fans, Santos is a storm in a tea cup. Cooper has all the facts: contract, training, tactical. He hasn’t been playing him so his hand is not being forced from above. So everyone just relax, Cooper is in control

So, possibly a sneaky move to help with PSR this financial year. Buy for £4.6m, near zero amort charge for this year, wages fully covered by Oly and they pay up front loan fee of £1m or so. As long as accounting policy is not to pro rate fee over this and next year, 💰 win

Burnley got a point, not a win 🤷🏼♂️

A LOT of comments from people that do not fully understand squad registration rules or not gamed it out. U21s can’t be used for the 25 and you HAVE to reg any senior player if you have the space. So 5 GKs, Layrea and Konaté to ensure Arter doesn’t have to be. Preferable

Points deduction perspective (and why to stop talking about it):

- Everton get nothing back, we get same as them 2nd time, we are still not in the drop zone if applied now

I was praying we could pencil in Aguilera into the back up for MGW spot for next season (see my articles). Good news, no longer need to pray. 4 more months dev and a pre season, he should be good for that back up role (and cover wing when needed). Very bright this evening

Well said about why and the underrated front line. Awoniyi had the best goal/shot ratio in the Prem (rate of 20 a season as was injured), MGW best player in winning EngU21 team, Johnson getting better. Add in Elanga and that is frightening pace on each wing. MGW Elanga link up…!

I am going to be unpopular here, but Maddison has played 28 games to MGW 37. 13 goal involvements to 15. 58 chances created to 64.
I love MGW, but his shooting needs to dramatically improve before he will get called up. I am writing an article at the moment to explain

Last year, with all the recruitment and crazy top end wages, I think was an FFP relevant loss of £30m (£35m allowed per season).

Before some fans are up in arms at Forest’s break being the shortest at 9 days due to the cup replay:
1) there is still 10 day gap post Brentford to Arsenal
2) on the face of it, we need 1 more comp game before Brentford to sort out the temp AFCON defence. Hidden blessing.

Will do proper thoughts tomorrow, but LARGE plus is that Omobamidele looks Prem starting quality and I would say he had a better game than Murillo. Also, he is indeed right footed it seems, so long term, perfect fit with Murillo

Silver lining perspective:
The cup game (and 40 extra minutes) was the last thing that was needed ahead of Brentford in 3 days. BUT would Omobamidele and Aguilera been given (and taken) their chance this season without the fixture? Might solve a problem in next few months

Spurs and WH perspective:
- WH’s 5-0 was not a representative scoreline. Moyes’ last home game in charge. They will turn up
- Spurs are mathematically still in for 4th. Lose on Sat, and all over. They will turn up, Ange will be fuming.

11 points ahead of Burnley and ShefU. So just need to be ahead of Everton or build a cushion over Luton or Palace (or maybe Brentford if Toney gets injured)

Recruitment again on the up:
If Milenkovic is indeed signing this week for circa €12m, Forest will have filled required starting spots ahead of the preseason tour, each at a sensible price. GK, DC and possible no8.
No9, winger, FB are backups and may follow.
