Scott129 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Having said that i have him in my championship fantasy football team.

Animal is a Ram Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Interesting to see the Trees don't have a player assigned to number 2. no preferred RB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Interesting to see the Trees don't have a player assigned to number 2. no preferred RB? Perhaps they just figure that they've got enough number 2s at the club...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 well that was the lines along which I was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 They've signed 7 players Have a back four but no cover Plenty of midfield Plenty of strikers (but not many that score a lot of goals) Sounds like us for the past two seasons.

Leicester Ram Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'm going to give them some support on this matter tbh. Cox- a lot of money, but him and Blackstock up top should be decent. Collins and Harding- good signings for the right price Guediora- decent CM. not a stylish footballer obviously, but is the type of player they need. Halford- ***** at LB, ***** at RB and ***** at CB. But at least he's consistent.....consistently *****,admittedly, but consistent none the less. The two Kuwaiti lads- LOL. Gillett- meh. Nothing special at all. Ayala- will do the job. I think that is a fair asessment, which is reasonably un-bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Seems Boro may swoop for Miller after they missed out on Cox http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/middlesbrough-fc/boro-news/2012/08/12/79310-31605203/ Good chance to recoup some of the money wasted on Coc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 looks like Non League Nigels obsession with us continues.... i hear you are signing kieron freeman from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Freeman is thought to be our second best prospect and has been linked with Notts. I don't think O'Driscoll rates him otherwise we would have extended his contract at the same time with Lascelles. I also don't think Derby is the best idea for him though, neither is Notts.

davenportram Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Second best prospect and your willing to let him leave - when you have hardly any cover in his position. I'd be more than annoyed if I was a forest fan. Why sell? Do they need the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more than annoyed if I was a forest fan. Why sell? Do they need the money? There's been rumors that he's done something 'very stupid', but I doubt that. The real reason imo is Freeman thinks after his loan spell at Notts he thinks he wants big wages and first team football, but I don't think we can promise him that. He's not happy at us, and if he wants to go then he can go, I'd be much more concerned if this was Lascelles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Last year of his contract as well isn't it? If he's coming to us expecting first team football, he's in for a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Dawn Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Sounds like a good young prospect Freeman. Albeit a typical modern day footballer - I.e thick bellend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 How much do you reckon he'd cost for you to let him go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 How much do you reckon he'd cost for you to let him go? Not much I'd imagine since he's in his last year, maybe 100-200k, but I think we'll try and put in a tonne of clauses into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyRam! Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 In all seriousness though I think the managerial appointment at forest nowadays has become largely irrelevant. For so many years the club has been engrained within mediocrity and averageness that it simply cannot escape from it. McClaren came to Forest on a high after rebuilding his reputation in winning the Eredivisie with FC Twente and then promptly lost it all over again at forest. BD had previously taken an average Derby side and got them promoted at the first attempt - he then took on an average forest side and, well, failed to replicate. Cotterill couldn't find his arse with both hands let alone the winning formula to turn forest's fortunes around. O'Driscoll did a decent job at a small club in Doncaster, but in all probabilty will be no different to anything that has gone before him at forest, who will ultimately finish anonymously in lower mid-table. Admittedly this may be similar to us, but then again at least we have experienced promotion from the Championship within the past decade, have reached a league cup semi-final and have recently presided over a league double over the red dogs as well - all of this during a pretty average stage in our club's history. During the same time period forest have been relegated from the Championship and then only just about managed to scramble back up again to our level at the umpteenth attempt......no comparison really. in fairnesss to that **** billy was doing well with top 6 each time....

Qwerty1 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 So nobody has named a better CM in this division, apart from somebody who put every Derby CM, but that was obviously a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake n Bake Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 So nobody has named a better CM in this division, apart from somebody who put every Derby CM, but that was obviously a joke. Seriously? There's loads. Mark Davis at Bolton, most of birminghams midfield, Whitingham. I'm only up to C on championship clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
