Ropiest ever Forest eleven...

[soulmonkeylove]

I thought it might be fun for us to concoct our ropiest ever Forest staring eleven. To keep it fair though they must have either played too many games for their ability, or were "big name" signings that never made it. In other words no failures from the youth system who got 1 or 2 sub appearances under their belt. We'll keep it 4-4-2 for ease and see what names get thrown in.

To start proceedings I would like to suggest the potentially devastating (for us) forward line up of Andrea Silenzi and Rob Rosario.

I am guessing Silenzi might not be the only Italian to be nominated for this squad ;D

Megson can be the manager, and he picks Dadi to play up front.

 

[Dadford]

Instead of "making" your worst Forest eleven, what was the worst eleven that actually played together?

 

[winnits]

Roche
Eaden Melville Cullip Rogers
Impey Powell Lennon
Silenzi Cole Beck
​

Rogers in his second spell. Struggled with midfielders for some reason. I think for ropiest ever that most of us can remember you'd have to go with fairly recent players, given they cumulatively delivered our lowest ebb almost in living memory!​

Good to see that both of CC's "experienced" (AKA last pay day) players made the team.

subs

M Pascolo
G Robertson
E Dadi
D Sonner
D Friio
M Manini
D Platt

 

[winnits]

Sonner and Friio, they could've relegated Andrew Cole to the bench!

 

[winnits]

That would be the side that lost 3-0 in the cup at Chester City, in terms of teams I've watched. Mitigated (barely) by the fact I am utterly convinced they lost that game deliberately.

Argh!

:x

I was a little bit sick at the thought of that side.

That is actually horrific!!!

 

[jammy]

Cullip wasn't that bad was he?

 

[soulmonkeylove]

Maybe he could be replaced with Matrecano or Nikola Jerkan.

 

[Al LeftLion]

Me reading this as rapiest forest 11 can't be a good thing. Although i can think of at least a couple certain to make the first 11.

 

[winnits]

Cullip wasn't that bad was he?

Oldham away, 5-0.

He was awful. It really sticks in the memory. Matrecano or Jerkan possibly suitable candidates for the role too, though.

Ah right, I only went to home games that year, being under 18 and all that... I just remember being slightly sad when he left because he seemed alright. I think we've had more problems in other departments than at CB where we've been (relatively) lucky

joel lynch should be in it

Rogers in his second spell was still a hell of a lot better then the pathetic Gregor Robertson.

Roche

Eaden Maninni Melville Robertson

Petrachi Powell Friio Hodges

Dobie Silenzi

Subs: Pascolo, Cullip, Padula, Gary Holt, Perch, Dadi, Shipperly

I would have liked to have included Bonalair, Benali, Gray, Gunarsson, Allen, Melville, Harris, Proudlock, Taylor, Adebola, McGoldrick, Oyen, Chopra, Evans as well though!

 

[soulmonkeylove]

Well so far we certainly have some players cementing their way into this illustrious squad, with Silenzi ever present and quite possibly captain material!!!

 

[winnits]

Evans, Kier? Seriously?

No world beater for sure, but for £25k I think he did okay. I didn't include Wee Gregor as I really only considered him a youth teamer - but I suppose he did play in a fair few games thinking about it.

You have.

I would also have Marlon King in there somewhere too.

Most try not to.

 

[winnits]

He'd be first pick in the rapiest ever Forest XI. (in my opinion).

 

[The Maniacal Megatron]

:tophat:

 

[wemaybefamousagain]

You could pretty much pick any side named between 1999 and 2008 to be honest. Nine, very dark years with the exception of one season under Hart.

It doesn't matter how much he was signed for, some of the players in your team were on free transfers. He was shit, probably the worst passer of the ball I have seen in a Forest shirt, squandered possession constantly.

Robertson made 25 league starts for us and 11 appearances off the bench, more than enough to eligible for a team like this. What a f***ing w**k defender, how the hell did he ever become a professional player?
