    "Better" players. More Premier experience most of who finished 7th last season. They had just as many, if not more, key players out.

    I'd probably agree if we'd have been playing them last year. A lot has changed since then

    How about we should have given them a game?

    Getting lots of adverts for this, so looks like it'll be another good parking game.

    That's his parent's fault for neglecting the wanky fada over the 'a'.

    I completely agree with that, I just didn't think we "should" have beaten them. I was expecting a defeat and hoping for a draw.

    Leeds are pretty good at home. That doesn't stop the performance being a massive concern.

    Dyche is our manager. His long term record (13th most games as a premier league manager I read somewhere) suggests that most of the performances are going to be shit but sufficient results won't be.

    Yes, we retained most of that team and spent 200 million on mostly well rated players

    To be fair, Liverpool kept most of their players (think only TAA they would have liked to keep), spent £500m and it's made them significantly worse as well.

    Well Ingosaurus is modeling himself after our current manager by repeating Plan A (that thread title has been used before) and not having a plan B and then taking credit for things he didn't do Ange style. This is a spiral to the bottom and of course in line with his Tory/Reform beliefs. Obviously we all thought that having a family and growing older would help steady the ship but now more than ever he is intrenched in his beliefs. Like most Tories he has chosen to pick on the weakest (in this case wolves) and take credit for it if it works out. If it doesn't then it's Dave's fault or mine. This is not the behaviour of a leader. This is that of a wannabee despot. Rampant in his own narcissism. This is why Forest are in trouble. We have lost the famiily vibe and we are mad at old uncle ginger...

    Wednesday is going to be horrible to watch and we need a result. A win. This will put pressure on that Traitorous Nuno and his tribe of Wet Shammers.

    In other news if we cannot beat the Gold cunty ones then we are going to be soooo Michael Branched...conditional critical people. Batten down the hatches. Significant that Forest didn't post our manager's last presser. gulp.

    And yeah I miss Taiwo (who last scored against the West Midlanders before he made a brief escape from the patio against Bentford), who will sit sadly on the bench whilst Jesus and Lucca will no doubt slog it out in a hopeless attempt to be better than the bottom side.

    I will be working all day. It's probably for the best...

    They have now. No idea if it’s been edited down.

    Likewise. As a result I'm making oat chilla. The perfect brunch.
