First Team Squad
Lica as well, though he didn't play much. And Carayol, who had always done OK against us for Boro, but was typically useless when we got him.

In fact most of the stuff we signed under Montanier/Pereira summer just wasn't good enough.

Pereira was the only one who looked any good but he seemed to get sent off every week.
Lam, Perquis, literally not good enough defensively or physically for the Championship.
Henderson is probably the worst first team keeper I have seen for us, even replacing him with Smith when he got injured was an improvement. And he got dropped for Mad Vlad which says a fair amount too because he was also shite.
Armand Traore was also a waste of money as he was always injured.
Do we need to mention Lord Bendtner, Zach Clough, and the other toss which never played like Aryibi or Teixeira?

Veldwijk was toss but these were no better if not worse.

That's a depressing read! Although I will say Lam was an interesting case, didn't he score two good goals in his first two games despite playing centre back? Then he was quickly out the squad?

Fryatt was a class player before the injury, like Cohen, Hobbs and Reid who were out at the same time. Did I misremember this, I seem to think the club mismanaged his treatment as well as Hobbs' so he never really came back from it.

I believe Fryatt was suing the club for the mismanagement of his injury? Not sure what happened with that though

Hobbs was fantastic for us when he first signed, him and David Vaughan are two of my "what ifs" when it comes to Forest. I remember when we won away to Leicester the season they got promoted, Vaughan absolutely bossed the game, was everywhere, winning the ball back defensively with ease, key part of every attack etc.

Shows how important keeping players fit is, or having good backup

BUT we are premier league now so I need to stop reflecting on the past haha

For a short period we had Reid, Lansbury and Vaughan as a midfield 3 under Billy Mk2 before injuries destroyed them. That was as strong a midfield as we've probably had over the last decade (at least in possession). Shame it only lasted about 10 games. Still, f*** it! We're Premier League and those 23 years of what ifs can be let go.

Old Fryup wasn't too bad as I recall. Certainly better than many of those mentioned previously.

He's my most disappointing player. Other players aren't very good, but everyone knows they aren't very good and that's why they are cheap, and you can't expect much from a loanee that you've never even heard of the club he came from, never mind the player. But Cox was a good player who just did almost nothing for us.
