Something that's gone under the radar today but we looked a lot better defending set pieces today and there were a fair amount of them. Having Boly back has definitely helped but everyone did a good job.

I don't know if anyone could pull up a still pic of one but I liked how we went man for man with the men around the pen spot and left another 4 or 5 in the six yard box zonally. It worked well..

How do we think the teams being promoted will perform next season?

I think Leicester will struggle again, it’s been mentioned that Ipswich will be in a similar position that we were in, having no parachute payments, so will be interesting to see how they cope. Not sure who the other one will be but I hope it’s not dirty Leeds.

I think they will all be significantly stronger than Sheffield United,Burnley and Luton.

Pisswich will have a season of L1 FFP limits in their 3 year rolling period so will be even more fuxed than we were.

Leics are weaker than the side which went down, and players like Vardy are a year older. They will need a fair amount of investment to stay up and what's going on with their FFP too?

The play off side will be Leeds, Southampton, Norwich or WBA. If it's one of the latter 2, they will probably be quite weak.

Probably better than last year's promoted 3 but not by much to be honest.

In addition, two of our three goals were a direct result of Boly's physical prowess, his header down for Yatesy to score and that wonderful tackle and pass for CHO's second.

Very much so, something that Felipe was doing for us last season. On another linked area, I know that Niakhate obviously damaged his shoulder in preseason so he's but I've wondered if we've not utilised his hoofthrow since Felipe dropped out the side? He was the one that consistently won the first contact from them which caused so many issues.

If we stay up it's despite Nuno not because of him. Very lucky to beat the worst side in the prem playing in a very disjointed manner, no progression for me since Coops. If we are to avoid fighting to stay up ( should we) next season we need a huge improvement in performances, just don't think Nuno has it in him.

We'd have gone down with Coops in charge.

I know you'd have preferred that 😏

Footage of Yatesy leaving Bramall Lane with all 3 points and a huge step towards Premier League safety.

No parachute payments and one of their PSR years at League 1 level means they have even less loss allowance. They will need to be clever in the transfer market.

Also you clearly have no idea what a decent manager is. You're so anti Cooper it's embarrassing, he was the best thing that happened to us since Bassett. Still for someone like you who can only see the end of their nose I suppose all the shit he had to contend with wasn't an issue, we should have been comfortably mid table? As we aren't now. Nuno is nothing in comparison, results alone tell us that.
Shame people like you can't give credit for the incredible achievement that Coops delivered. Clearly some folk know about football and some don't. Maybe you'll learn one day.

Cooper is a decent manager, his achievements were spectacular.

However, he was taking us down this season. Probably due to our lack of a decent goalkeeper, but down we were headed.

Nuno has had more to contend with this season. Way more.

Personally, I prefer Nuno’s goals and points approach.

Cracking result!

The morning after a fantastic 3 points and ea buffer between us and Luton, whats not to like about that :)
I reckon that we used up most of our luck in the first 45 minutes but the second half was much better.
Good job from Nuno in my opinion.

Looking forward to the Chelsea game and hoping we can get something from it, will be tough but just maybe we can go to Burnley with nothing to lose :)

You might hear an almighty roar around 5pm, in the vicinity of Nottingham next Saturday evening, as if Luton and Burnley don't win away in London, then we will be safe.

Chelsea will then become one big Waka Waka party game.

A draw at West Ham keeps Luton in contention unless Forest get something back this week
from their appeal.

Nuno and cooper are both poor this season. So there is no need getting your knickers in a twist over that. It’s just really disappointing on how little our general performances have improved. The sitting deep thing has to be put to bed soon. You can continue being a prem side playing like that. It’s not about entertainment for me but if you limit how many shots yourself take whilst being porous at the back it’s only gonna end one way soon enough.

I’d sack nuno at the end of season and get someone in who will evolve this team.

Regarding Ben Brereton: why shouldn't he celebrate his goal, eh?
He hasn't been a Forest player for several seasons now.
We sold him to get essential cold hard cash.
I would be very happy if he was bought over the summer.
He has decent feet for a big lad, knows where the net is, and with a summer close season under ghis belt would be a better bet than Origi.
As for replacing Nuno... madness.
He knows the Prem, he has us playing better football, and given a summer with the lads, including the new signings, will have us up and running for the new season in the Prem.
He didn’t just celebrate though. He ignored his own supporters and instead stood in front of us, kissed his badge, and generally rubbed our noses in it. He showed utter contempt for us.

Robinson likewise was at pains to share his apparent hatred of all things NFFC. Osborn on the other hand was much more respectful.

Anyway that long-haired, name-changing, nationality-changing fuckwit would’ve been nothing without us, which he would do well to remember, and I hope he never darkens our door again.

We shall have to agree to differ.
Different opinions make the forum the brilliant forum that it is.
