I guess it depends on how the EFL define “full strength team”. My suspicion is either they don’t have a definition, it’s a bit vague or it just stipulates x number of players that have featured in the match day squad during the season.
Seems they've taken a lot from the U21'S. Pretty shocking really. You can get away with a couple of knocks ...ahem. You can't just say sod everyone else, i Don't care if we lose by a 10-0 aggregate over two matches. There are integrity rules including those rammed down your neck for Pizza cups. Let's not forget the original fixture was postponed due to two international call ups.

I actually think this could be a tight game. Ferguson has already hinted at resting a few in midweek. He can rest players on Tuesday, bring them back on Saturday after a weeks rest and still have nigh on a week until the first leg. Neither team will want to go into playoffs on the back of a hammering.
We tore Preston to bits in our last league game before losing to them in the playoffs. Was 4 and could have been 6. If Peterborough think they're out the running, they will leave 5 or six out they will need for playoffs, especially knowing they have Bolton in the final if they get there. Bolton will get a few if it's a Peterborough dead rubber. It's only Derby who risk injury in a dead rubber against the leagues filthiest midfield . Cheers Wass.

I slept on an electric blanket back in the 90's that was left on and caught fire. Might be different now with modern elements but that definitely went up. I remember hurling it downstairs as it was quite hot and dragging it outside.

Or, of course, it could be the fact that nobody outside of West Bridgford is in any way arsed about a couple of marginal decisions and no one has really paid attention to the clubs faux intimidating tantrum
Nobody saw them because their 4th bottom of a league having spent a quarter of a century hoping to finish just above Burton and no-one gives a f***.

Would the title of this thread be too long if I renamed it to this?
For 3 years they've been trotting out that this kind of thing and worse is all made up nonsense. Then it's isn't Neville a disgrace and doesn't know who he's dealing with, he 'd better sleep with one eye open.

Didn't Simmo get a hat trick against Portsmouth at the BBG which resulted in Jim Smith getting the sack?
That would be the Portsmouth one then. Memory still about holding together.

Devante Cole is out of contract in the summer.
Would be a good signing for us, capable of playing at the championship level.
Got 1 in 24 two years ago. His resume isn't the best either. Had a lot of clubs. He looks to have found his feet at league 1 level and at 28 it's probably as good as he's getting.
I'd probably take Phillips. 26, quick feet and 10 goals from midfield. A year left on contract so a reasonable fee may be accepted with sell on.

Jesus H 😂
More than anything, though, it is the spoiled and self-entitled response of a club whose owner has a history of this. It is only three years since Olympiakos, also owned by Evangelos Marinakis, criticised the “darkest days of Greek refereeing ever”. A specific target of that criticism was the president of the “central refereeing committee”, who Olympiakos said they were withdrawing “confidence” in. The individual? Mark Clattenburg, who by 2024 Marinakis had enough confidence in to employ as Forest refereeing consultant.

"The Mail reports that Forest are in the process of drafting a letter to the broadcaster."
Hmmm, wonder who their source might be?
At least there is a process this time, unlike the tweet. Who is the mafia lawyer signing the letter off?
That'll be our very own De Marco I assume. You know the one they all referred to as a loophole merchant when we used him.

Looking forward to seeing Simmo - boy he scored some bangers for us…
Best i've seen one on one with a goalie play for us. Pretty sure he's the only Derby player I've seen get a hat trick of free kicks as well. Think it was against Portsmouth.

Forest banter aside, I’m in shock that’s what Ashley young looks like now. He looks about 20. Is that Ashley Young’s kid?
He spent the afternoon attacking Forest players and drinking their blood followed by an evening of sucking the lifeblood out their fanbase.
This was him 10 mins before kick off.

This made me 🤣 Sorry about the swear word 🤐
As a Luton fan it's ideal that Everton are 7 points from them rather than 5 and Forest don't have another point that would mean that erm... there still catchable with one win as before including goal difference.. Really is hysterical

It's part of it, the size depends on the club. Look at Stoke City under Pulis, had him for 3 years and went back to him for another 7.
Some fanbases are more tolerant with regards to where entertainment matters compared to overs.
It's hard to really point to where we are as I'm 42 now, the Jim Smith tenure, under Burley and the McClaren years are the only seasons where you could sit and say, that's lovely that is, forget the cup, this football is giving me a semi. Lampard at a push if we're just trying not to be too critical.
To think we've had Brown, Davies, Clough, Pearson, Rowett, Clement and I'm sorry but I'll say it, Cocu, that's a decade right there of pretty turgid stuff if we're looking at it through neutral eyes.
I just don't have that we have a history of being entertaining, this isn't entertaining and that matters to me inside. Its been more of a mixed bag with some highs and lows, no real consistency or exceptions so I'm just in this place of wanting to win and be back to pushing for a European place as we did under Jim Smith, seeing Derby in Europe, not pre season is the ultimate ambition I have for this club.
I know it's a long shot and would be a UEFA Conference League or whatever they call it now, but Pride Park, Derby v Leverkusen, how good would that be? If Phil Brown could guarantee that, I'd say bring the orange crispy face bloke back.
The expectation of football to be entertaining and your team to be successful has increased as the price of going to watch it has increased. When you spent £8 quid shovelled into a standing area with a pillar in the way, your more concerned with dealing with an exploding bladder and the 20 stone bloke who practically has you in a man hug and what damage he'll do if you score. This was normally exacerbated by the bloke 6 ft in front treating you with his 5 pints of bitter and pea mix arse perfume for 90 minutes with no escape.
Your own seat, easy toilet access, a view of everything, no rain soaked clothes and 10k a week wages for players means the ticket price has trebled -or more- as has everything else. People expect more if they pay more. Same as any entertainment. It's the human psyche.

Isn't in MLS where they watch one replay in real time, and if they are sure it's wrong decision, they change it. Seems a better way of doing it.
Remember the first World Cup they got VAR in, it was ace. Penalties given for holding in the box, so players stopped doing it. Don't remember any of this penalty handball or offside nonsense.
How did it end up in this mess? Maybe a quick solution is to give teams a couple of appeals like in cricket. Let them use it on anything, corners, yellow cards. They'll use them up in first 2 mins appealing for a throw in.
Something I suggested when it came out but that would be too simple.

You tell em Ian Herbert
But Forest’s preposterous and disgraceful outburst — ‘like a fan in a pub, embarrassing’, as Jamie Carragher observed — took them into the sewers of the game, flying in the face of the professionalism we would expect of any club.
The directive from those at the top of Forest that a tweet be sent, stating they had warned that VAR official Stuart Attwell was ‘a Luton fan’, comes a month after owner Evangelos Marinakas brought the club into disrepute by tearing down the tunnel after referee Paul Tierney following a late defeat by Liverpool. Football rages and seethes against perceived injustice every day, but Sunday was unprecedented. Who the hell do these people think they are?
Would someone care to point out that six players have been sent off against Forest in the Premier League this season, two more than any other club?
And that a number even more relevant to their dangerous league position is the lunatic £300million they spent on 43 players across three transfer windows after getting promoted — to no material effect.
That put them in breach of spending rules and rightly docked four points. They’re claiming that’s wrong too, of course.

He is getting paid by Marianakis to put out this verbal diarrhoea, yet talks like it's his own unbiased opinion. f****** chancer😂. He does know that he'll be forced to hide in the bunker with him after they lose to Burnley like all all good Ministers of Propaganda.

Very unfortunate with the disallowed goal today.
However, when they were in the s*** and about to be bought by asset strippers SISU for a pound, they got a lot of support from Derby as we had previously been their target.
When we were in the s*** and a few months from going under, they gave us a rounding rendition of Derby County die and started throwing s*** at our fans.

I don't agree. If we lose by 1 and Bolton beat their U21 team by 3 it's unfair. The competition is play a competitive side for a 46 game season. That doesn't mean play your star striker but it doesn't mean playing a side with 50 games between them. The players need to be competitive.
