    As I understand it he wasn't really interested in another management role, and only took this because it's Forest and he was asked to do a short term rescue job.

    Chairman and Edu are getting a bit of a free pass here and no one has made this much noise about post match drivel since Donnyred discovered the word clueless.

    So what’s the plan then. Keep sacking managers ever few weeks until we get one we all like?

  • 7 Feb 2026, 6:01 p.m.

    It’s Marinakis train set. So we are kind of stuck.
    In fairness, he stuck with SSC fo as long as possible. Nuno was next and threw his toys. He recognised Ange was a catastrophic mistake and rectified it quickly. Dyche will stay for the season and we will see where we are

    Dyche til the end of the season. Silva if we stay up, god knows if we don’t.

    Perhaps we've reached the stage where we run the current predicament through a What-Would-Fawaz-Do?

    I’m not sure buying another big telly and abusing some fans on twitter is going to help much to be honest.

    I don't think anyone is sensibly expecting or wanting Dyche fired now, but other than Tricky I don't think many want to keep him longer. And even Tricky can probably be appeased as long as we find another English manager to satisfy his increasingly obvious middle aged Forest Da mentality of British good, forrins bad, at least when it comes to managers.

    ....you probably need to justify your own opinions, rather than calling me out to explain in minute detail something you probably wont understand anyway.

    Still waiting. Where is this amazing squad that we've built? What are these tactics that 'don't work'? How do you imagine that we can stop all your poorly eyes bleeding, apart from being better than the other team and playing well?

  • 7 Feb 2026, 6:51 p.m.

    Current managers you're on record as liking:

    Sean Dyche
    Steve Cooper (I'm letting you have that one)
    Frank Lampard
    Eddie Howe

    Current managers you're on record as not liking:

    Pep Guardiola
    Jose Mourinho

    It is at least a bit of a coincidence.

    As to the rest of your post, there are two people who think Sean Dyche didn't majorly fuck up the team selection last night, you and Sean Dyche. And even he probably had a look this morning and thought "yeah, dropped a bit of a bollock with that one".

  • 7 Feb 2026, 6:57 p.m.

    Serious questions
    1. Would you have made a change at half time yesterday? Extra marks for explaining your reasoning
    2. How would you describe Dyches tactics game to game.?

  • 7 Feb 2026, 7:05 p.m.

    All you need to do is look where we are in the Fawazcycle.

    Hello Colin Wanker!

    Newcastle really are a jolly amusing side. 3-2 down with 5 minutes left and they've already used up their weekly penalty.

  • 7 Feb 2026, 7:24 p.m.

    Not cunts, and cunts. Not a coincidence at all. And you can take Howe off the list until he's been fucked over by the human rights abusing petrostate cunts who are the next gen football ruiners.

    I think Dyche made the team selection that he made for reasons...as he likely did, or didn't, make changes when frothy casual bystanders thought that he should, for reasons. Personally I'm more interested in understanding why that might be, than living in an imaginary world where decisions made by fans (who appear not to know the differences between tactics, slection, and performance, and always assume there is a world where their made up ideas lead to better outcomes) take precedence, even when they are clearly operating in an information vacuum.

    So I looked at it, and could see very understandable reasons why he set up as he did, and I don't imagine for a moment it's the team that he would have wanted to send out. If you are asking me do I trust his judgement over yours or Guru's, I do. Although equally I would concede that's not true of every manager we've had this season - which is largely why (along with crap overpriced recruitment to the squad that has left it unbalanced with many problems) we are in the position we are in.

    On Dyche's watch, we are comfortably mid table....which seems a reasonable rate of return to me, given the dip that we knew was coming after last season, and is quite a good return for the performance levels that I'm seeing with my eyes. That's what managers do. Manage. He's not changing games by how he runs around on the pitch. We have to have 'players' to do that.
