There's a load of posters here who actually convinced themselves that I support Dyche and Forest - because I reasonably stated he did a very good job here and saved us from oblivion...which he did.

Imagine not supporting Everton as much as you live for posting stuff about Dyche all day and night and how Everton with £110M of investment are better than the team that Dyche managed having been forced to cut to the bone here.

Here's just some of the posters who'd rather post about Dyche than celebrate an Everton win for the last 12 hours...

And this is what you call irony.

He's done well - prior Man City, I recall commentator saying if they got a result, it would be the best ever opening x games of any Nottingham Forest manager.

Some big results - the 3-0 win over Spurs surprised me more than the 3-0 at Anfield tbh, and he's got them back on track in Europe. He's prevented their freefall, stability, before they inevitably look for someone to progress. Sounds familiar.

They won't go down (I think it's a shootout between Leeds and West Ham for 18th), nor achieve anything significant. Good news for those who hold a hatred for him is I think the wheels will come off later in the season though - the players know Marco Silva or someone else will replace him. The jigs up, the nuts and bolts fall off when people stop putting in the hard yaaaaards for an interim manager.

Yeah, strange situation at Fulham, they struggled with player recruitment over the summer and it has to be in part that any vision for the club going forwards wasn't going to be under the manager potentially doing the signing. A few sides in flux atm.

IMO - Dyche is only there because they couldn't get Silva.

Mirror of us going for Allardyce while we waited on Silva.

If west ham don't buck up I reckon Santo is on for the chop. Think burnley keep the faith with parker. farke doing just enough. not convinced spurs like frank totally. and lets see how bournemouth do without their star man. coventry boro ipswich to come up? few club owners like being PL whipping boys. how long has amorim left? is pep signing up for another 4 years? does arteta have to deliver the pl this time? back in september emery was being spoken about as under pressure somehow, no idea who runs chelsea. plays out like an episode of eastenders.
I suppose a month of terrible losses means any side could panic. I'm glad the dodgy var handballs have dried up against us.

Agree with most of that mate.

All of say though, is I think Forest are still sort of in it.

You'd expect them to lose to Villa. If they then lose to West Ham, the cat is amongst the pigeons, as honestly youd have to fancy West Ham for 1-3 at Wolves.

If you are 21 games in, and are in and around the drop zone, chances are you'll be in the dogfight for the long haul.

On paper they shouldn't be in it, but footballs played on grass, and Europe could drain them a bit too.

I think that West Ham game is critical for them. West Ham have to win it, Forest can't afford to lose it. FWIW I think Forest will not lose.

Europe is a headache for them: it deplete's energy levels and they cant afford that.

Imagine us if we'd had two games per week and ensnared in a relegation fight when he came here. We'd have gone.

Forest need to get eliminated from that ASAP. When that happens it'll feel like a weight off their backs.

They'll finish about 15th IMO.

I’m sure their owner has poured £400m into the squad to forfeit European football and aspire to finish 15th every year.
