RadioactiveWaste Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 As we know, the cold winds have yet to start blowing. if forest are still doing well round the festive season I'll believe they've progressed, but they start well most seasons before fading. Still, a good start and another good result so they'll be some gump lovin tonight i'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Congratulations to Forest, who, like Leeds, have won the league this year! Well done. Are the t-shirts printed yet? I’ll check e-bay shall I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The opportunity is there for Forest, but you could say that for Blackburn, QPR, Preston, Birmingham, Swansea, Charlton and any other unfancied team who can put a decent run together. Leeds, West Brom and Fulham are the favourites, the teams that carry the X on their backs, but in the early weeks, we have seen they can be easily negated or frustrated. The Championship proves every year that you don't necessarily require a team of stars to succeed, but a manager with a plan and a vision and the players who are ready and capable of buying into it. Forest have made a good start, but a start is all it is. Last season, they looked like they were in contention and then imploded from January onwards. They still have plenty to prove before we cast envious glances down the A52. Fortunes can change very quickly in this division. It wouldn't surprise me at all if we were above them going into the first East Midlands Derby of the league season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Dawn Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Fair point Jourdan. Im not getting carried away yet. Made a very reasonable start given I think we've had the trickiest set of fixtures from anyone in the league. Pretty sure I saw someone post on twitter that all of the 7 we've played so far are in the top 9. 2 of our wins coming away from home too. Think we'll need a extra player upfront if we're to continue competing. A Grabban injury would have the possibility of derailing us due to the lack of a replacement. Long way to go.. As for you guys, when does Rooney arrive? Should have enough time to help with the relegation fight eh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points although you really do have to stop forgetting that the table is not finalised by mid September. I know there is a common misconception in notts that it is.

From what I have read (not actually seen you play yet), you are winning games without seeing much of the ball, being outplayed and catching teams on the counter. This is something we have come up against in the past and we struggled against the so called lesser teams because of it. As I said not actually seen you play so this is only based on newspaper reports and happy to be corrected if its factually incorrect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The points against Leeds and Charlton was very much a smash and grab, but the wins against Fulham and Swansea we very much deserved all 3 points. Rest of them a mixed bag. probably should have got more against the Baggies, maybe deserved to lose against Preston. We'll have much 'easier' games than the majority of that first 7 matches. Guarantee we'll lose at home to Barnsley now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for you guys, when does Rooney arrive? Should have enough time to help with the relegation fight eh.. I think you've definitely picked up some impressive results and certainly if we had got similar results, our fans would be feeling just as excited and encouraged. Picking up 8 points from those first four away games is probably 8 more than even the most optimistic Forest fan anticipated. Let's see if you kick on. There are always one or two teams that emerge from the pack and surprise everyone. Could it be you? I only saw you v WBA on Sky and you looked bright for 20 minutes only to then go on and self-destruct. Obviously you've gone six unbeaten since then, but it's that regular pattern of self-destruction that stops us from worrying. It's happened year on year since 2011. I mean you've had two of the daftest owners in football and 12 permanent managers since King Billy left for the first time - can you blame us for not worrying? If you are still in contention in April and Lamouchi is still in charge, that's when the whole forum will be getting twitchy. But until then, we probably won't take too much notice. As you say, there's such a long way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knocking your achievements, you've had some great results. From outside it would look very much like our Gary Rowett season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat selective in the stats though. We had the better chances despite the lack of possession and shots on target. Defending well and limiting their chances is just as impressive as the few goals. Like some other posters have said. Not getting carried away and long way to go yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
