top 6 finish Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Where have I said Clough has the answers? Just mentioned that Billy doesn't either. Hes managed to do more for Forest in 2 months than our manager in 4 years,with players bought by previous managers and they failed as has Clough with his players.

What? He got them in a position in the top six then went on a winless run and dropped out of it again. I'm sure we've done that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I don't see why we have to compare ourselves with Forest all the time there are 23 other teams in this league, not 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poison dwarf has got the gumps to the same position that Sean O'Driscoll left them in before christmas. A huge expensive squad that seems to lack bottle. I reckon Nige would have that squad automatically promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When have we made the top 6?I notice you choose to ignore the fact that he achieved that in 2 months,you also chose to ignore that he actually got us promotion in his first year. If you want to show that NC is more successful than BD you will have to do better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to show that NC is more successful than BD you will have to do better than that. I haven't said NC is better than BD - just BD has achieved **** all yet this season. All BD did in two months was beat some lower table teams then lose to some top of table teams. Hardly anything to boast about unless you like Red.

Two interesting points there.Lets hope that the Forest Owners see it your way,they may take him off us,we will be well rid.Who knows we may get a manager with a decent record and some promotion success at this level instead of somebody who seems to have been appointed on work experiance. The 2nd point is that a few weeks ago we were worried about relegation and yet you believe that the manager who got us in that position could get have got Forest automatic promotion.Hmm you dont have a great opinion of our players do you?

I think our squad has played to its potential at times and with a tiny bit more strength in depth we'd have been very close to a play off this season. We have 3 or 4 quality players who would walk into most other teams and an honest bunch of lads who give their all for each other. The gumps have a stronger squad than us and the reason they haven't challenged for promotion is down to the deluded kuwaiti owners chopping and changing managers. I cannot see any reason why Clough (or most other managers for that matter) wouldn't have got them up there with Cardiff, Hull and Watford looking for automatic promotion given the full season. I suppose you don't agree with the idea that Clough might have done better with more money to spend on fees and wages and a bigger squad with better players to call on for injuries.

Its not a case of whether I agree or not,obviously the board don't.As for the 3 or 4 quality players we have,apparently, we will have to wait until the transfer window opens.

I know it's off-topic for this thread, but you state "The gumps have a stronger squad than us", would you like to qualify that? I don't think many Forest players would get in our starting XI, maybe a couple would make the bench, and maybe their centre-backs would replace Keogh and Buxton, but other than that... I don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though they have piss poor keeper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
