Mardiness because he celebrated scoring against us and made an ill-advised comment on social media last time out.
People claiming it means he 'hates' us, totally ignoring the context that he was here for something like 11 years, because we 'let him go' (read: got a good offer for him and decided to sell, because our priority was playing more experienced players with the aim of avoiding relegation)
Also ignoring that he was never really given a chance here, was handled appallingly by Rooney in his attempt to 'make his mark' - dragged off after being subbed on one game, in tears - with his commitment questioned, grouped in with Duane Holmes (fair enough he wanted out) & later Waghorn, a player who's never given anything less than 100% but got picked on because he was 'mucking about' or something in training one time.
 

Would you do it on your driving test? No. 
Not sure why people feel the need to "help" other drivers out of junctions - we're capable of getting out of junctions by making our own decision on when there is a suitable gap.
It's people thinking they know better than the rules of the road.
Rather than random signals that mean different things to different people at different times, maybe we could help each other out by  following the rules that we were supposed to learn.
Plus it's an absolute classic crash for cash technique.

Write it into the Profit & Sustainability rules?
They already do this with sponsorship / commercial deals requiring third party validation to make sure the deal represents fair market value https://www.mishcon.com/news/the-premier-leagues-new-profitability-and-sustainability-rules
There surely has to be something they can add to the rules on transfers that would stop, for instance, Watford selling a player to Udinese for 4-5 times the amount they paid for no more than 20 (largely unimpressive) appearances ago?

Goal difference twice as bad as any of the other teams in the relegation places already. Probably only until the others play Man City, but still.
They weren't exactly a controlling force in the Championship last season were they? Plenty of games where they let the opposition have the initiative, looked poor but seemed to get a bit lucky,  exemplified by their playoff games where they weren't the better team in general play in any of them and relied on penalty saves and crap VAR to see them through.
Do they know they can't get away with it quite so easily in the PL?

Chance cleared off the line and a goal conceded against Peterborough from balls played into the RCB area and put toward the back post where there's a man free. Equaliser today from a ball into the RCB area then played across to a.man free at the back post. Bit of a pattern appearing.

Bring Jake back off the bench when you are defending a lead. 
We brought on slight and/or forward thinking players with no game management skills 
 

As Rosenior would tell you, it's not about picking the best starting 11 it's about picking the best 16/18 and understanding how each player fits the overall plan to win the game.
Sibley may be gutted not to start, but McGoldrick may offer something in this game against this opposition that Sibley wouldn't. Alternatively Sibley buys into the overall plan and for the game and actually isn't gutted at all, and  having gained some form and confidence from his recent performances will be subbed on against a tiring defence, full of confidence and drive should the game be calling out for that.
If you think about it from the opposing side's view, an in form Sibley & Dobbin coming on for the last half hour is not something they'll relish, nor is having to deal with McGoldrick's skill and NML's pace all game.

Makes you wonder just what the hell Sheff Weds had him doing to produce so little for them.

Think the idea that a player being dropped from the starting XI and taking it badly is pretty outdated tbh, like they're all mardy little children who can't handle the idea that it's a team game and they may not always start.
Being dropped from the squad or constantly being played out of position when you do get a chance and then your lack of performance being blamed on you, yes, but used correctly as part of the squad, subbed on in your correct position, fresh and full of vigour and confidence, totally different ball game.

Charlie Palmer saying Vocal Point instead of Focal Point every f****** time is even more annoying.
Like he isn't from a footballing background and has never heard anyone else talk about it before.

Forest have just unveiled their new team bus

The only RB who may have been a potential was Stephen Kelly. He’s gone to West Brom and even then it was a long shot.
Everyone keeps saying let’s put Knight up the pitch but no one ever says who that would be at the expense of?
I actually don’t think his goal/assist return is quite there for being up the pitch. I’m perfectly happy with him at RB for us.
