[Any Time Now]

Came out the wrong side of a hefty 50/50

 

[Red Ray's Redlist]

As long as we're at this level we won't have the time or space to afford young players the chance to learn their trade in the first team. It's too competitive a league, too much at stake whilst Forest remain a relegation threatened side.

I agree with a lot of what you said in the original post but on this part I disagree. Lots of Prem clubs keep their best young players around the first team and often use them as subs. They don't have to be world beaters, just good enough to fill a hole in the short term. And I don’t buy this idea that the quality isn't there. It is often more about opportunity. At the moment we're playing the likes of Origi instead, with the £4-5m wages that come with that.

Any manager of any club in the relegation zone would play Origi -yes, even Origi- rather than an inexperienced youngster, unless that youngster was demonstrably much better.

Young colts looking good.

Nearly got a second nice build up play

Apparently this is on Spursplay.... But costs £45 (for a year) why the f*** haven't we done something similar..

The club want more money from us, then invest in the digital media side ffs. I'd pay £45 a year to watch all the youth games and pre season friendlies online, and some other filler.

But instead we whack on extra costs to other places, we are a joke..

2-0, whoop

Unless I missed them didn’t look like Forest made any subs, unless they did them at HT, game of 2 halves really, didn’t have same energy and control second half
