There was a period, after he got match fit and just before he got injured, that he was awesome.

It's such a shame he's a permacrock because fully fit he would get into a lot of Premier League sides.

Reminds me of him scoring against Birmingham almost immediately, at his best he was a seriously dangerous player.

I agree that John O’Hare was excellent at holding the ball,Otis-although he was probably
slightly past his best when Clough signed him at Forest in 1975.I think he had his best days
at Derby alongside Kevin Hector.A very underrated player in my view.
As for Davis-it is such a shame about his injury problems.
He probably was just a little past his best in terms of his mobility when he signed for us Cloughie, obviously a consequence of the batterings he routinely took from centre-backs vainly trying to get the ball from him. That said, Solly still had plenty of good games for us when his bravery, strength and guile stood out, not least during the League Cup Final-replay at Old Trafford. The fact that Cloughie also trusted him in midfield (as in the game in question) when we were short of bodies in there also spoke volumes about him.

There was a time when clubs could take a risk on a player like that.
25 man squads have made it an impossibility though.
The irony being that we've got an awesome striker that is often injured already - that place in the 25 is taken.

I particularly remember a League Cup Quarter-Final Replay against West Ham in 1979,Otis.
I got absolutely soaked in only the 2nd game in the Upper BC (Executive Stand) before the
roof was put on.
The game was played on a swamp-with Forest winning 3-0 in extra-time.John O’Hare ran
the show (I think from midfield).

Cloughie would indulge Solly a bit though Cloughie, by not expecting him to do much outside of the middle-third of the pitch, but Cloughie quite rightly trusted him to not give the ball away, and knowing that he could ping a pass.

Aye Frank... and he had shoulders like a coat hanger.

I could easily see a Michail Antonio in him and occasionally a Stan would pop up too. Real shame that he can't stay fit.
Yeah, I see what you mean. Especially Antonio. Stan though, my god I don't think I've ever felt such a rush when a player runs at the opposition. Inject that right into my veins.

Yeah the Antonio comparison is spot on. It was impossible to stop either of them when they were in full flow.

But with Davis it was based on a small sample size, ask Watford fans what they think of Keinan. They think he is absolute crap.

None of this matters because by the looks of it if we'd actually signed him as well as Taiwo he'd have played fewer matches for us than Omar Richards.

There’s still people in lower Trent End that still think we should sign him in January.

Maybe spend a minute on google to see he hasn’t played at all this season so far, would be a good starting point.

Feel for Davis. He should be in the PL and being a right handful to some of the worlds best but just those injuries all the time.

Felt similarly for Chris Cohen. Deserved his shot in the PL, gutting that injuries curtailed that right at the point he was getting some serious interest.

He'd still be more effective than Origi though.
I’d probably be more effective than Origi, and both my knees are shot.

I say we send Origi back and sign Strummer. If we're going to go down, we may as well go down laughing.
