So yeah, probably my most wool-headed year

I say bluff, none of this ever happened.
Wait till I tell you about Matt Mills at centre back...
The little full back with the 'tache. You're fooling no-one with these lies.
Bojan Jokic or Daniel Pinillos?
Ryan Mendes was bloody brilliant in every department other than his final ball / shooting.
Good to see Hughton's Midas touch hasn't deserted him.
Daniel Pinillos was decent right back until we broke him sent him to Barnsley. Although that might have been when everyone thought Barnsley were some sort of textbook example of how to run a football club for about 5 minutes.
I may have dreamt that though.
So many of these barely-remembered players seem to have them in their Forest shirt on their wikipedia pages. Unless Wiki has a respectable algorithm for presenting data to users, we do seem to have been the peak (even in our sh!tty days) for a lot of footballers. Or they genuinely liked the place.
Apparently he went back to Cordova for a season after leaving Forest before Barnsley got him.
Panilios was a left back wasn't he? Scored against the sheep
He was. A pretty serviceable one, too, from memory at a time when we couldn't go out and spend any money on players.
For context, it was that period when other signings included Jamie Ward and Chris O'Grady.
A draw for Aaron Tshibola's DR Congo against Zambia, although he was stuck on the bench.
Serge and Sangare (with Boly on the bench) vs Ola Aina this evening.
Kouyate back with Senegal and on the bench against Cameroon tonight. Niakhate out injured.
Cape Verde beat Mozambique 3-0 to be the first team through to the last 16. Captain Ryan Mendes scored the second.
Somewhat worrying. Last time he got a minor injury playing for Senegal, we lost him for six months.
