Match Thread Notts Forest 0-2 Everton. Tue Dec 30th. 7.30 pm

Which one is that, defend in depth and hope to get penalties that will pass VAR.

His “gaffer” is Dyche. He’s saying he wants Notts Forest to win. Thats why he disappeared from the forum for 24 hours after the last game.

In fairness it took him 24 hours to get home from HIll dickinson stadium.

Hopefully Grealish will be back after his 'flu', and who knows, Dewsbury Hall and Branthwaite on the bench would be some welcome post Christmas cheer. Who knows what striker will play, as if anyway it would make much difference.

The scabs, having lost their previous two games will be under pressure, so we could with do with an up and at 'em attitude from the off. Well, hope springs eternal in the eternal breast. UTFT - a gritty 0-1 win.

Can’t have it both ways. You correctly critic Moyes and the players but you never did the same when Dyche was manager. The list of excuses of you gave and continue to give the narcissist is unreal and you always vented your anger towards the players. You want balance but completely ignore you didn’t give it yourself.

I slammed the players under Dyche all the time. They were terrible, most of them are still the same and are terrible now, so I still have sympathy for Moyes. Where am I slamming Moyes? I’m not, I’ve just said that the main thing that’s changed is the Freidkins and they will have targets.

It’s called context but your chatbot brain couldn’t compute it under Dyche and it doesn’t now

They were poor at our gaff, up and at em boys.

The boy Dibbs could have a field day up against Nico Williams, he likes to get forward and will leave space.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

To think just three games ago I was a little hopeful of dragging ourselves into the "upper echelons" for even a brief spell(yes I know that included games against Moyes' nemesis clubs,Chelsea and Arsenal!!)how daft was I eh?

You can bet Forest are going to be targeting this game with Everton with our two highest scorers missing to get a much needed win.

We need someone to step up and take a chance on Tuesday. Set piece goal from Keane looks most likely or a shot from the edge of the box from Alcaraz.

This will be very difficult and not like the recent home game.

We have dropped to 12th after Spurs beat Palace. Weird league this.

We have dropped to 12th after Spurs beat Palace. Weird league this.

And we will continue to drop with all the players we are missing. This squad is just not good enough. It will be easy to blame the manager, but looking at our bench yesterday, it would be a miracle to finish top 10 let alone in europe. I am hoping for more players in January...thats a must.

Will he rather watch Notts Forest or his other boys Big Red?

 

[Vaughan]

Yesterday we had Dibling Alcaraz Barry available to the manager. They’re all recent signings costing a combined 80 million pounds.

If they’re worse than Docuoure Harrison and Lindstrom then serious questions need to be asked

not one of them is, doucoure was shambolic and was why we were doing in 16th-17th

likes of alcaraz arent gonna get us in europe playing every week, but we’ll finish higher than 17th

 

[Scally1878]

We need to beat them again on the basis that they refer to the City Ground on their forum as the WFCG- the World Famous City Ground! Imagine we referred to BMD as the WFHD

 

[knowing your history]

2-0 defeat if it is same 11 as Saturday.

2-1 if Grealish returns from his mid winter break.

City Ground one of those with a good recent record though and that seems to play a part in this team's mentality, a draw and two wins there since they came back up and also did alright there in the 90s.

 

[knowing your history]

The expectation should surely be the same for both managers though. You wanted Dyche to coach attacking football from the players he had available. You should expect the same from Moyes. As you said he did it last season so why is there a free pass now?

There was good attacking football at the start of the season for the most part.

I do think as the months have gone on the limited ability of the FBs has been exposed and it really dosen't look great in the short term now with Dibling and McNeil as the wide players. Both have barely played this season and McNeil could easily go out next month.

So simply need better going forward from full back, hopefully we'll see at least one new signing there in January.

 

[deipnosophist]

given our inability to score goals (second worst 'goals for' in the league), the best I can hope for is a 0-0 draw
