Have we got players who can do it? I think so. Why calm down, it has been crap for quite awhile. Enjoy some euphoria, it is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every second. The older heads like Leadley and the imperious Huddlestone did exactly what the experience end of a balanced team should do ... just keep it all together while the young guns went out on raiding parties. The precise opposite of last year where they controlled everything and just let the kids have a moment or two to run off some spirit. We didn’t play 433 and we weren’t Mac 1 ... unless MAC 1 had Sat Nav, Alloys, a turbo and variable geometry. After a settle down period we played dominant football (with the odd slip up - but who cares ) Wilson and Mount, so mobile, energetic and flexible. Nuge a bit slow to start and I thought he run out of legs came in to it as time went by. Bryson making so many off the ball intelligent runs and later on a shot on target - back to his best. Lawrence, bit hurried to start and then, (frankly speaking ? ) ended up strutting like rooster of the walk. Even Butters looked tidy. What price him as away match choice at CM. ? Random asides in no particular order. And yes this is all a bit OTT but that was entertainment and football all at once ?? Leadley = John Eustace with a beard Bennet = razor sharp picking up that rebound Flo Jo = two magic touches and 2 not so magic ones but pretty sure he’s got the star dust and we are going to love him Hudds = classiest old brand of glue available on the market today Keogh and Davies = Ronseal Max Lowe = future 8 figure value .. hope we’ve got him nailed down Bryson = not an old dog .. doesn’t need new tricks Wisdom = full of it Butterfield = well you know clean slates might not just be clichés Vydra still to come back = now won’t that be interesting ! Who needs a target man or a battering Ram when you have skilled all round footballers playing with intent and panache Team 2 = came out wanting to be in team 1 without a sulk in them. Friendly ..yes Southampton poor ..maybe But all said and done that the most athletic flowing DCFC I have seen for a fair while. keep it up for the next 2 warm ups and we’ll be peaking for the opening weekend and bouncing when Leeds come visiting PS .. Is there a St Frank ? From a fellow OTT - great post, Jono. Frank has put a few million on the squad. Frank knows who he does not want and they will go. If you want to sign a player, show them this video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Seems like an awesome performance. Makes a mockery of the NEP article looking at who will be forest’s “promotion” rivals. They said anything less than top 6 for Forest is a failure, for Lampard if he even gets Derby anywhere near the playoffs it’s success!! ??? Its important we don’t get carried away like our tree hugging neighbours. Its only a friendly and Southampton will be a week behind us in preparation but it’s really encouraging. It seems as a minimum the football will be entertaining. And to think I wanted someone like Lambert as a steady pair of hands to cost cut. Mel needs commending with his visionary appointment of Frank and it’s provided us all hope and excitement where many felt there wasn’t going to be any.

cannable Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I felt really embarrassed for George at full-time. Fair enough he needed to do a warm-down by himself but wait until the ground’s empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was Wilson - could be wrong thou, not criticizing Ledley cause he was fantastic he also got into some good forward positions as well.

Brammie Steve Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I've always known that if the FA were to relegate the bottom six from the Premiership and replace them with the top six from the Championship it would bring back a bit of top level entertainment. Scrap parachute payments, shake up the whole system! You say you want a revolution well you know....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 One thing I most like about pre-season is watching the team playing in shirts numbered 1 to 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why calm down, it has been crap for quite awhile. Enjoy some euphoria, it is free. Oh I am, trust me it’s a breath of fresh air But nonsense posts like that “ one more signing and promotion is in the bag” is just rediculous it usually comes out of the mouth of someone that equally thinks that we were all set to get relegated after the Mansfield result and performance second half against Mansfield. just asking for people to calm down and retain a some level headed ness. this season like any other season will give us highs and lows and I’d love to be able to come on here after a defeat and not have the usual suspects baying for the managers blood this club craves stability and it just winds me up when I see people who say we’re brilliant and it’s promtion all the way after one win but it’s relegation, sack the manager, get rid of mel when we lose drives me up the wall yes let’s enjoy it, the football is shaping up to be infinitely better than last year but let’s not turn into red dogs and start claiming we’ve won the league by end of August cos we’ve won a couple of friendlies shall we were better than that ?

NottsRam77 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Just wandering if anyone knows if /when the match highlights would be on here. noticed the full Notts 90 minuted is available to watch but not Mansfield. i went to both so wasn’t fussed about watching it but after Mansfield I thought Id save some match day credits for when poo gets proper serious, (having a season ticket doesn’t half cost me in “house jobs” and shopping trips) So having not gone yesterday I’m gagging to see some footage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazloW Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Wasn’t intending to go, but glad I did. Pleasing performance, good game, some positive signs in terms of style of play and with the new and returning players. Nice watching a match for the fun of it rather than there being any pressure. Southampton clearly way behind us in terms of fitness and sharpness. Reading nothing more into it than a nice positive workout and a pleasant afternoon spent avoiding the weeding.
