Gee SCREAMER !!

Gary Charles in a 5-0 debut V Sunderland .  Superb.  Season didn't quite pan out as it started that day.

Also remember Miles Addison having a blinder at St James Park a few years later in a hard fought 0.0.

Played 98 minutes after 4 months out with a stress fracture in the foot.  Injured it again after 70 minutes and wasn't taken off, so a point could be proved about squad depth. Unforgiveable Management towards a young player.  Not sure he played again for us.

Forest making some BIG moves to close out the window

Never seen a highlights reel for a forward where it takes 2 minutes to show them scoring a goal

A Portuguese second division player who played in Greece.  They must be bored of them now surely. ?

Yet Reading who are supposedly under same embargo we are have signed international free agents like halilovic and Drinkwater and Rehman on loans ... Absolute bullsh*t

Chelsea are the Scrooge of deals .  They must be covering 80-85% of wages . They don't do this. Very odd.  Have Reading given Chelsea half there U16 team to get them to cover these wages, like we did with Man Utd to get Mengi for 3 hours of football.

Would love to get Jako next season.  Sounds a shambles at Barnet but the quality of their kits on the continent is supposedly very high and they look pretty decent.

 

Otherwise, would like to see what Hummel could do

Seriously?

He's Technical Director. He gets paid for what he does, so if he wasn't wanted he'd be gone like Given.

What's a technical director ?  Can he play upfront.

Funny you say that, after the game i was waiting in players car park and Mac came out. I did not realise he was still around. I just assumed he was gone after all the cost cutting exercises

I have no idea why he's here, other than maybe taking training in the week if Rooney or Rosenior buggers of home.  I assume they do and he has a house here.

Turning point for then I think

Not from what I saw unless they bring in a few this week.  A bit more second half pressurising today could have been 3-0.  They are a very poor side, we just dropped off.

Feels like a defeat to me too

Seems a long time since we had a game against Forest where we haven't made an error to gift them a goal and at the other end we haven't been robbed of a penalty or had a perfectly good goal chalked off.  The only one in return was Worrall and Sambas  treat the other year.

Generally heartened by that.

We should have had 2 or 3 penalties with them also having a player sent off, plus we had the better chances. But the game would have changed if Fozzy had been sent off at the start. Was it deliberate? An official could have given it.

The movement from our forwards was often great, but we're not clinical enough. And the fiasco over the (lack of the) Stretton substitution contributed to a significant momentum shift in the game.

For their goal the ball went right through all our defence and Stretton particularly should have cleared it. The player shot hard and low. It was at Roos but they're not always easy to stop. Yes it should have been kicked away but they quite often go in.

What a difference a win would have made and the fault for not winning is roughly half on the ref and half on us not taking our chances.

That was poor.  Must have been a good 4 or 5 minutes

It was his calf cramped up

Sounds better.  Rooney talking baalocks then -literally

We finished the first half badly and took it into the second half .  Change it then Wayne.  Unhappy about the handball and might have to get his players to start diving to get penalties.  Don't tell others that.

Lawrence broke down with a groin problem by the sound of it after having an injection.  

So frustrating.  Mistakes cost us constantly.  Proper pissed off.  That Forest teams as bad as I've seen. Pressure from Forest, all invited, but a balls up costs us again.

we havent got great options off the bench though..

That being said Birds just dropped further back as the games gone on.  Blatantly clear

Shocking game management this second half.

Should have been dead and buried.

No reaction what so ever. Needed changing 30 minutes ago.  They were there to be finished today.

What a Bamford

Get back on it.  Started dropping off last 10 minutes .  These are not good . Just match up

Hand ducking ball!!!! Penalty....

 

Third major decision now!!!

Well well. Another one to go with 3 we should have had in the last 4 against these.  Oh dear corner in the last minute 

Wow. That bench is stripped bare if Lawrence breaks down. Not that robust at the best of times

Max Lowe has signed for them and is available for selection for this game. 

If he plays the crowd has got to be merciless in terms of "Derby reject" and boos. It's our job to knock him out of his stride, make him not want the ball or be worried every time it goes in his direction.

 

It works.  I remember Paul Williams getting that much grief that he was a walking red card and Strachan took him off after 40 minutes. Paul Kitson got the same against West Ham - or it seemed that way.  It was actually his doppelganger from Denmark making his debut as a sub and they announced Kitson coming on. Bloke got absolute pelters for about 5 minutes.

Is it only fifteen percent of the profit made

It's usual to be profit made only, although any adds on for appearances if still owed would normally also be included if sold within the original contract period of the player ie 4 years and leaves after 3.

I have stopped listening to RD because I couldn’t take any more of Ed Dawes sure he’s passionate and better without Craig Rammage but no not for me. Turned on tonight reluctantly and so refreshing to hear Chris Coles the game flew by. No hyperbole no squeaking like a wronged child just good clear balanced commentary. Well done that man.

You mean your not inspired by 5 minutes of apoplectic rage about an opposition throw in on the half way line, followed by a further minutes about reffing some U12s team and the 15.30 train from Hull to Filey appearing in the distance followed by a couple of Canadian Geese.

Must be one of the most one sided games you'll see

They may be the worst stats I've ever seen. Had a few first teamers in as well, albeit Wolves put out a decent line up.
