Jourdan Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 You have to feel for the 7,000 who turned up v Fleetwood. A different draw in round 2 and they probably would have enjoyed another quiet midweek night against opposition on their level. Instead they’ll be plucky underdogs against Mel Morris’s big spending and high flying Derby, and now they’ll have to put up with 18,000 day trippers and Stone Island fanny pack wearers desperate to see another upset for the ages.

We'll play a similar team to last night vs virtually full strength forest, forest will scrape an undeserved one nil win then go into "you rope Ian champions famous club ha ha ha forest are amazing euuuredddzzz" mode until they lose the weekend after.

All you will see on their forums are references to "The Famous Team" winning a game at "The World Famous City Ground", where the "Tricky Trees" backed by 50,000 "mighty reds" triumphed over us, with talk of how they now want to "cup the b*lls" of the player who scored their single goal and how he'll take them to the top. All genuine quotes from their forum. They are a different breed aren't they... can't wait to smash them at their shed at the end of the month.

There seems to be a thing for forest fans where if they tell each other that they are world famous and city ground is world famous and the world outside all agrees forest is world famous *enough* it'll be *true* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Dawn Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Tell you what chaps, shows how difficult it would have been to replace Mount and Wilson. Both lighting it up in the PL. Dowell is a fantastic player when he hits his stride but too often a passenger. Who replaced Wilson? Think our start has been as difficult as any, and we've made a reasonable start. WBA home - they'll be there at the end of the season. Leeds - likely league winners IMO. Birmingham/Charlton. - Both made a good start this season. Fulham - Likely playoff contenders and won their last three straight. 8 points from that lot? Would have snatched your hand off when the season started.

Red_Dawn Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Oh, and I'd gladly take a loss Tuesday for 3 points against Preston. Hope Sabri puts the kids out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, think Derby have a bright future ahead of them too. Cocu much better manager than lampard, lampard was carried by wilson and mount. You have a nice shedule ahead of you and can unfortunately see you in top 6 comfortably by october. Whether you stay there depends on whether grabban stays fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we going to be bombarded with some Mind The Gaps and you have made the playoffs by the end of August? Anyway in all fairness I think you are completely right and we were probably spoilt with Mount and Wilson. We will have to see how the season pans out but I never take a defeat to Forest over 3 points against a other club not even Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They quite often get above us in the late summer, but as the leaves start to fall, the cold winds blow across trent bridge and forest's squad decide the down tools until they either get a new manager or relegation looks realistic, then do just enough to be mid table. It's as predictable as out top form October-December and our relegation form January-march Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRamFan Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Being as they bought in an entire first team, they should easily cruise in to the top 6, and make it to wembly, first time in a generation, anything short of that would be a abject failure.

Am I right in thinking its every 1st team match against each other, league Cup or friendly, so if we're in different divisions we can still have a BCT match.

Yes. The first meeting for the trophy was a friendly. The worst team in history managed to easily beat the team 2 leagues below them 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH its safe to say forest have a better squad than us since mount and wilson left . And now the manager will have enough sense to play carvalho when he is back and fit, can see them getting top 6 easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
