    Sparkle got a reaction from HorsforthRam in Reading v Derby match day thread.   
    No great surprise at the result tonight 
    we play a one dimensional type of football and when we can’t break through that’s us done for 
    the basic tactic of get it wide quickly cross it and hope someone is there to maybe score is fine and when we do it’s get the extra centre half on and hope to keep the lead and maybe break away and get another goal - the limitations are there to see. Yes we are missing our best left and right back and a Waghorn type who can actually play a bit of football. Folks moan about our two in midfield but on their own they are overwhelmed defensively so trying to be creative is really a non starter but our game plan doesn’t involve us having a creative midfield

    We will make the play offs but if we don’t hopefully it means Warne will be gone even if we somehow managed to get up I don’t want Warne leading us into a championship campaign 
    wrong choice of manager and  easier to say when we play badly of course but even some of the victories haven’t been great 
    This group of players are good enough to control games but we don’t and that’s because of how we try to play that comes from our management team 
    Lincoln was like a basketball match with no goals was way too open we could easily had won 2-0 and equally had lost 3-0 
    yes we will win a few but can anyone honestly say the football we are seeing will carry us very far 
    when we used to lose games under Mac1 we still often looked the better side the play off final being a massive reminder of that ….we go again Saturday  COYR

    Or maybe get a manager/coach in that understands that a functioning balanced midfield is an alternative to endlessly lumping the ball out wide and into the box in the hope that someone will get on the end of it. Bird isn’t a bad player but is being made to look so by a coach who has no interest in playing football in any way other than his own prehistoric way.

    We don’t set up to use midfield constructively so it’s not the fault of of those selected

    We can’t go playing silly billy with money anymore - if they turn us down then we should walk away and wish them all the best next season and hopefully they don’t get points deducted for over spending 👍

    I’m embarrassed we’ve even complained. If this was a Forest player winning the game with some schenanigans, we’d all be applauding. The blame is on the wall and the fact nobody spotted him moving the ball. 
    Like you said, Samba.. s*** housery.. we all loved it

    That would make Warne sense as Barkhauzen has been scoring and assisting

    Would have been very interesting if Johnston had said he wasn’t going to Spurs and he was waiting for a free transfer

    Other tidbits from this article, include
    the aforementioned by @David, Harry Arter has banked £6m since his last game for Forest
    Omar Richards signed for £8.5m from Bayern Munich, whose medical somehow missed a fractured leg

    The defence being we haven't broke FFP as we never gave those agents the 30 million we owed them

    Early days for Elder, but I’ve seen nothing so far to suggest Foz shouldn’t be offered another year.

    Possibly one of my favourite Derby players in recent history. Not a flair player but solid, reliable and loyal. You can trust him to do a job whenever he plays.

    One in two with 9 goals is a terrific return - I still think a short loan signing last season would have had us promoted
