Less impressive when you realise they scored 2 corners and missed an absolute sitter from another



:LOL:

I think it's as impressive that he held his hands up in the interview and took blame for the goals we conceded. We don't need somebody that hides - the best thing managers can do is take the pressure off the players and put it on themselves. Mourinho is the best at that.

Doogie looks like he's going to Man Utd as Head of Recruitment.

A step-up, you might say, until you look at the absolute shambles that Man United currently is.

He‘s a brave man.

Crazy thing about this is...from some of the signings he's reported to have made....this is probably true! 😆

Only Forest could employ one of the best recruiters in the business when under Umbongo. 😆
thing is actually I think we did a f***ing brilliant job getting in some of the quality we did with the umbongo.

There's no doubt Billy and Jim Price encouraged Fatwatz to spend big in their summer window, so we ended up with the likes of Patterson coming in for pretty sizeable amounts, then we got Psycho and actually although we sold Darlow and Lascelles we still spent all of that money basically on Assombalonga and Antonio (who likewise recouped a lot in resale value) but then also the likes of Matty Fryatt, Robert Tesche, Michael Mancienne can't have been cheap either.

So it's not too surprising we ended up in that situation but the likes of Ryan Mendes, Chris O'Grady, Matt Mills, Danny Pinillos, Jamie Ward (though he was a smunt and better at tennis), Nelson Oliviera, Bojan Jokic, all coming in for nothing or on loan, was reasonably decent quality to bring in under restrictions.

Freedman did a good job under difficult circumstances really.
