• All - you probably don't need to be told, but....
    Despite the Admins' best efforts some spammers/scammers/scalpers are getting through the entry system and are, astonishingly, in possession of FA Cup tickets that they, astonishingly, don't want!

    It's probably a scam, and either way it's a criminal offence under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, (as amended by the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006) to offer or expose tickets for sale.

    Please DO NOT engage with these people - please REPORT any threads/posts offering tickets for sale in case we've not caught them.
    Thanks!

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.

3 goals in 73 appearances for Villa.
5 in 15 for forest
7 in 34 for Watford
1 in 8 for Udinese
16 goals in 130 appearances.
Not exactly setting the football world alight...
And he has spent a lot of time out with injuries.
I'm not sure why he still is the answer to some fans' prayers.
Tbf this thread hadn't had a post in 6 months, not sure people are still prayer for him,or even talking about him much are they?

Happy for him he got an important moment this season, can't imagine udinese fans are too happy with him so far so at least that gives him something. Doesn't seem like a waster, just a guy whose body isn't as capable as he is when it comes to professional football

Your last sentence... I wonder which current Forest striker that could be written about?

Davis was more than a goalscorer, a bulldozer to drive the team forward through sheer strength and bring others into play.

We were dying a show death in the playoff semi 2nd leg until he single handedly brought some forward momentum.

If he wasn't so injury prone, I am sure he could do a job in the Premier league.
Exactly, it was not so much about the goals it was his all round play. Just look at that run vs Blackburn for Garners goal, awesome.

I absolutely loved him and a lot of my Villa mates feel the same way. There have been times this season where we could have done with his hold up play which was is as good as anyone's I have ever seen at Forest.

We were unlikely to sign him once we'd had an offer accepted for Taiwo but, if he can get himself fit, he'd be a great option for someone.
