Was the Season how you expected or better/worse?: Slightly better than expected (especially at the end)
Favourite Game: Arsenal (H)
Favourite Moment: Wood goal vs. City
Your Objective for us Next Season?: Push on into mid-table, getting back to playing a similar style to last season, keep hold of all our best players

 

[Morpeth]

Player of the Season: Gibbs-White
Team of the Season (11): Navas, Aurier, Felipe, Worrall, Niakhate, Lodi, Yates, Danilo, MGW, Johnson, Awoniyi (call me Garth Crooks)
Best Three Players Signed: Felipe, Danilo, MGW
Worst Three Players Signed: Of the players realistically available it’s Shelvey, Lingard and Dennis, all for different reasons.
Any Loans You'd Keep?: Navas or Henderson and Lodi
Player That Disappointed You: Dennis
Biggest Miss Through Injury: Awoniyi
Was the Season how you expected or better/worse?: About right although I thought we’d have fewer injuries and been safe a few games ago but ultimately end up around where West Ham are.
Favourite Game: Forest 4 Soton 3
Favourite Moment: Spurs home game in the league. Yeah we lost but I met Daz from here and it was early season fun and games before reality hit!
Your Objective for us Next Season?: 50 points will do. Semis again in a cup would be nice if the draws are kind.

 

[Yoghurt Slice]

Player of the Season: MGW
Team of the Season (11): Navas - Aurier, Felipe, Niakhate, Lodi - Yates Mangala Danilo - Johno, Taiwo, MGW. Tough to leave out Hendo, McKenna and Worrall tbh
Best Three Players Signed: MGW, Lodi, Niakhate
Worst Three Players Signed: Shelvey, Wood, Ayew. Let's be honest nobody else is in contention. Dennis at least has potential.
Any Loans You'd Keep?: Lodi!
Player That Disappointed You: Lingard obviously but I also get it with his situation. Good player but didn't really fit. Williams needs time to learn how to defend in the PL
Biggest Miss Through Injury: Ooooffff. I'd probably have to say Yates. But Niakhate and Taiwo also.
Was the Season how you expected or better/worse?: Pretty much exactly as expected.
Favourite Game: Southampton 4-3.
Favourite Moment: MGW tackle on Jesus.
Your Objective for us Next Season?: Improve in every aspect, get a plan b so we can switch formation and tactics if needed. Probably need a more progressive rb to enable that.

 

[Ashley]

Player of the Season: Morgan Gibbs-White
Team of the Season (11): Henderson, Aurier, Felipe, Niakhate, Lodi, Mangala, Yates, Danilo, Gibbs-White, Johnson, Awoniyi
Best Three Players Signed: Morgan Gibbs-White, Taiwo Awoniyi, Serge Aurier
Worst Three Players Signed: Shelvey, Wood, Ayew
Any Loans You'd Keep?: Lodi and Henderson
Player That Disappointed You: Bade and Richards. The invisible men!
Biggest Miss Through Injury: Taiwo Awoniyi
Was the Season how you expected or better/worse?: Slightly worse. Would have probably been on par if it wasn't for the injury list from hell.
Favourite Game: Liverpool at home
Favourite Moment: Full time against Arsenal at home.
Your Objective for us Next Season?: Any improvement on this season, no matter how small

the point away at Brighton got our season back on track and up until then it was looking like we would be taking the sheeps record for lowest points in a season.
High point was the owner not sacking cooper and now we all got rewarded.

 

[Project Zeus]

Player of the Season: Morgan Gibbs-White
Team of the Season (11): Navas, Felipe, Boly, Niakhate, Aurier, Lodi, Yates, Mangala, Gibbs-White, Johnson, Awoniyi (honourable mentioned for Danilo, Henderson and Worrall)
Best Three Players Signed: Gibbs-White, Aurier, Awoniyi
Worst Three Players Signed: Shelvey, Wood, Ayew
Any Loans You'd Keep?: Henderson, Lodi
Player That Disappointed You: Definitely Wood - I didn't think he was a good fit from the start, but he never even looked interested.
Biggest Miss Through Injury: Awoniyi. We just about made-do with the defensive injuries, but losing Taiwo completely nullified our attack.
Was the Season how you expected or better/worse?: About how I expected, maybe slightly better depending on if we climb higher than 16th next weekend (I expected us to finish clear of the relegation spots by the skin of our teeth). We would always struggle at times, but the fans helped the players over the line.
Favourite Game: Nottingham Forest 3 - 1 Brighton and Hove Albion
Favourite Moment: The full-time whistle at the end of the Liverpool home win
Your Objective for us Next Season?: Continue to establish ourselves as a Premier League club. Sign 5 or so quality players for approx £100, and pocket the rest for developing facilities. I'd look for us to finish around 12th, but wouldn't be overtly worried if we're closer to relegation than away from it again. It'll take several years to truly pull away from the bottom cluster of clubs and fans should expect another tough fight next year.

All in all, this season has been the most fun I've had following Forest as a fan. It's been a joy watching us dine at the top table, and I don't want to let it go!

Any Loans You'd Keep?: Hendo and Lodi
Player That Disappointed You: Lingard but it didn't quite happen and I loved his attitude

Was the Season how you expected or better/worse?: About par, slightly better as I wouldn't have expected us safe with a game to spare
Favourite Game: It was the Scouse reds game but nothing can beat Saturday really can it?
Favourite Moment: Saturday again
Your Objective for us Next Season?: Lower mid-table with us rarely looking in danger (12th-14th)

[Harvey]

Player of the Season: Jonjo Shelvey
Team of the Season (11): Shelvey and then any random ten, other players are frankly irrelevant as long as Jonjo is playing
Best Three Players Signed: J. Shelvey, Jonjo and Shelvos de Jonjos

Any Loans You'd Keep?: If we have to loan anyone I'd just sell Shelvey and instantly loan him back
Player That Disappointed You: All but one did by not being Jonjo Shelvey

Favourite Game: All the ones JS played in
Favourite Moment: When Jonjo decided to spice up our relegation dogfight by gifting the opposition a goal. The man is an absolute card!
Your Objective for us Next Season?: Retain the services of Jonjo Shelvey, even if it means we have to rename the City Ground the Jonjo Community Stadium

 

[Harvey]

You know I wrote that out in draft, didn't realise I'd clicked post

Meh hey ho this is me!

 

[ubik]

Best player: Johnson

Team: Henderson; Aurier Worrall Felipe Niakhate Lodi; Yates Mangala Gibbs-White; Johnson; Awoniyi

Best 3 signings: Felipe, Navas, Danilo

Worst 3: Shelvey Wood Ayew

Disappointing season, largely due to injury disruptions but also due to losing 3-2 at home to the other two promoted sides. Should have been safely mid-table.

Let’s see what we can do next season.

 

[Strummer]

Player of the Season: Orel Mangala

Worst Three Players Signed: Shelvey, Shelvey and Shelvey
Any Loans You'd Keep?: Renan Lodi, Kaylor Navas (Felipe and Serge Aurier weren‘t loans, right?)
Player That Disappointed You: Shelvey - completely unprofessional attitude, and frankly rubbish
Biggest Miss Through Injury: Moussa Niakhate
Was the Season how you expected or better/worse?: Better, I thought Forest would not have enough to stay up. How wrong I was.
Favourite Game: 1-0 against the Arsenal, 1-0 against the scousers
Favourite Moment: Steve Cooper celebrating after staying up
Your Objective for us Next Season?: mid-table mediocrity would do just fine thanks.

This season has exceeded my expectations by a long way overall. The highs have far outweighed the lows and has produced some really great moments.
A couple of things stand out for me;
Taking 14 points off the 4 teams that will finish below us. Teams that we were supposedly lucky to finish above!
Taking 11 points off the top 6, unexpected bonus points and a real factor in our survival.
The unbelievable atmosphere created at the majority of home games. Those last 5 minutes against City will stick long in the memory.
Personally, as a bronze member, I did pretty well in the scrambles to get tickets. Managed to get 16 out of 17 attempts, only missing out on the Liverpool game.
Roll on next season

 

[Bobby The Brain]

Was the Season how you expected or better/worse?: Slightly better.

ya don’t say!

Omar, never change.
