It’s not just that they look beaten, it’s the new signings too, who looked dreadful.  And they’ve spent a shit load on them. Forest are bad, but you can tell they’ll have just about enough (until they lose a few players this summer).

A Forest fan on the Totally Football podcast reckons they spent £200m in the summer. That can’t be right can it?

I had a look the other day and they signed a few that aren’t even getting a kick. £200m sounds about right, with Elanga funding about a quarter of that.

It illustrates how crucial continuity is. New mangers jettison players that aren’t instantly providing value, …and with that starts further splurges on even more players.

They’ve broken the rules before and were docked points, I’m sure with their owner they will do it again.

Maybe Forest will use the lack of action against Citeh as the basis to undermine any action by the Premier League, the owner has form and would be willing to move this into the Courts.

Of all those, I'd take £10m Jesus. That's about it.

Forest, the new Butlins. Used to be Villa for a while.

Dan Ndoye was infuriating last night. I quite liked the look of Jesus, has a good touch and good on the ball, but still very raw. It just bothered me that he looks like he should be very quick, but he was surprisingly slow.

haven’t seen enough to comment but I guess they were hoping for a slow transition from Woods to Jesus, but Woods been injured most the season.  Best laid plans and all that.

That Bakwa makes Guessand look like Ginola by comparison.

Murillo will be on his way to a much bigger club before too long as well.
