VAR cost Dyche his job

If that first half goal last night hadn't ridiculously been ruled out for offside then we'd have won the game

Fine margins, was almost as bad as this which got ruled out for Newcastle.

Utter madness, most teams in our position would kill to have Sean Dyche as the manager. Managed to improve our standing in the league despite West Ham's upturn in form. 9 points from last 6 despite bad luck against Palace and Wolves. European results were also good. This is just self-sabotage and the fact that we're even considering Pereira just shows how brainless Marinakis has become. For all the good he's done, he is now making us a laughing stock.

How many of the teams around us in the PL would actually want him? Maybe Wolves, but I'm not actually sure they'd want him over Edwards. I don't think any other clubs would take him.

I want to see the lines drawn from last night's disallowed goal along with where ball was in relation to the attacking player's foot

I'm gonna take some convincing that was offside

It looked offside from my seat in the LBC, but my seat is half way between the trent End and the halfway line.

I was never a big fan of Dyche, however I do think some of the criticism has been OTT - ultimately he has performed at a mid table position, I believe we're sitting around 12th/13th since he took over. Whilst some of his decision making was infuriating, we have to remember that he took this job on in extraordinary circumstances with us looking for a third manager in October.

The post-Wrexham interview seems to have done it for a lot of the players, even though there was an element of truth in what he said. I don't have an enormous amount of anger towards him; when you're looking for a 4th manager of the season, you have to look at other issues at the club to play the blame game.

Is it an unwritten rule that when you enter the ex players section of the forum you lose your middle name?

It absolutely is - the (perhaps bizarre) tradition of quoting a player (or coach‘s) full name upon their signing for the club is something we’ve done for a while.

Once they leave, all bets are off and it’s back to the common vernacular and into the „ex-players“ sub-forum you go.







(Except for Steve Cooper, because we all love him, and additionally some people get irrationally wound up because his thread is still in „Forest Banter“).

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Fourth manager in points to greater issues in the club. No grudges held against Sean with me.

I lost most of my faith after the second Everton debacle.

The sheer repetitive nature of the play suggested he didn't have many ideas how to manage the squad. It tipped into farce as most pundits and fans all called out the futility of pumping in endless crosses into the opposition box beforehand - and that's exactly what we did... all match long. As others said at the time, he should have known that it wouldn't work with Everton's centrebacks, yet we did it anyway - even when it was self-evident it wasn't working.

The fact we've then produced turgid performances after turgid performance against our fellow strugglers hasn't helped. Stats are always malleable and we've seen the endless '1 loss in 6' stat, but the flip is 2 points from 9 against Palace, Wolves and Leeds. The trajectory wasn't great and I was losing faith that we'd find the inconsistent results to get us over the line. Our failures against the likes of Fulham, etc didn't breed confidence and the truth is that no one believed we would get good results against those we 'should' be beaten. Relying on surprise results against the top teams isn't really a recipe for success.

I wish him well and I'm sad that a man that clearly loved the club struggled to adapt to the situation he seemed to find himself in. It's a shame as we all heard the spin about how he was a clever manager who would adapt to more talented players but it didn't really play out that way. I wish we'd seen something a little more like the first few performances which seemed to build a little more solidity with a little more cutting edge. But as time went by we became more and more one dimensional and could play for weeks without scoring.

I like the fact certain players / managers stay in the main forum. It's like the forum equivalent of retiring a shirt - most don't get it, but for the chosen few they will forever remain part of the club's / forum's DNA.
