Pre-Season 2024/25

[RedKez]

Are Dennis and Richard's goi to give Nuno something to think about....

 

[chaospunx]

It's here. Even in this from about 5 mins in, his coaches and even himself are taking the piss about how bad his kicking is. It literally states he couldn't kick the ball 15 yards.

This is from a couple of years ago so it's incredible that we still signed him somehow.

That's literally unbelievable

Glad to see positive reactions to Anderson. He'll do well for you.

Never been in doubt for me. He's a huge talent. Surprised you let him go.

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

Depends on the context really. Yes they are bad signings but Platt’s signings killed us for years. Players like Zach Clough cost us a fortune at the time & was our highest earner on the Rochdale bench.

With Turner & Vlachodimos, they cost pennys in the grand scheme of things & will be gone pretty soon. Not even close to being amongst the worst IMO.

You can argue if Sels hadn't come in Jan, we could easily be in the championship by now and looking down the barrel again. Who knows how much that could have cost the club in years to come.

I predicted before the first pre-season game that Anderson & Sangare would be our starting 2 CM's. MGW just ahead of course.

The friendlies have only reinforced that. Anderson looks superb driving forward & Sangare is starting to dictate like we knew he could.

A few people questioning whether Anderson can drop that deep but for me he has absolutely everything you require alongside a more defensive player like Sangare.

Danilo, Dom & Yates are all more than very capable alternates.

I'm bloody excited. Thoughts?

Thoughts?

You demand thoughts after temperatures of 29 degrees?

Tssk! Tssk!

I get the vague impression that Forest have got their transfer strategy in focus, signing specific players to improve specific positions.

Too soon to get optimistic, but all sounds good so far.

Leo Hjelde who was born in nottingham , how did he play ? Son of jon olav hjelde.

Hjelde son of Hjelde…no idea.

However…from rokerreport.com:

Looked good when he came on, confident on the ball and strode out of defence well.

 

[marshal99]

it's good that it's still in preseason, that's 2 games in a row against lower league opposition that murillo got overconfident in his own ability and got dispossessed in his own half , will need to cut that out asap before the season starts.

 

[GreeksBearingGifts]

Matt Turner is the Zach Clough of goalkeeping

Rumour has it that whenever the name Zach Clough is invoked, Harry Arter signs a new contract with Nottingham Forest.

[McKenzie]

That might be the worst commentary I've ever heard

 

[Captain Sinister]

So that's what the game looked like... I thought my TV had become 3D and I didn't have the special glasses.

 

[Gyros Peter]

That might be the worst commentary I've ever heard

You didn't enjoy the solid repetition from Julian (Bennet? Great guy, terrible co-com) then?

 

[marshal99]

As a whole, our midfield And mgw need to have shooting drills in training. Our midfielders need to shoot better and score more. Even when we dominate teams and create chances last season , that inability to finish teams off meant that they could still cut through our soft center of a defence to score. Miguel and milenkovic might solve some of the vulnerabilty in defence but we still need to finish our chances. Our midfield lacked a goalscorer.

Ha I didnt know who it was, they were both bad.

Nice little sales pitch for the new shirt at the start as well.

 

[GreeksBearingGifts]

That might be the worst commentary I've ever heard

It sounds like someone from the club did a favour to two of his drinking buddies, who had no experience in commenting (or in speaking English comprehensible by foreigners).

 

[Monkman]

I think the lead commentator is the main guy on Arsher Ali's new-ish podcast.

 

[Two Weeks Away]

We should just pay the BBC the required transfer fee to get Colin Fray, worth every penny

I've conditioned myself to just think of his goal against Yeovil whenever he speaks, and can then listen to him all day long.

 

[weejockmcplop]

Leave Jules alone. He was one of the few who turned out to be heroes from that team imo.

 

[weejockmcplop]

Its nice to see Yates having an extra word or two with Richards after his goal.
Born captain our Ryan.

 

[RedRobbo]

Agree.
Difficult to believe that he is now an established player - and not the young, homegrown whippersnapper.
