In a parallel universe of someone's imagination it would seem.

If you continually discourage your midfield players to take risks and sell those that do, don't be surprised if you end up with a midfield of safe ball recyclers who create nothing - seems Russell is getting pretty close to his end goal.

This gets more bizarre and ridiculous by the minute.

Rasmus playing Moneyball by the sounds of it.

Explains the interest in this Brazilian clown then.

Is that so? Haven't seen anything other than the deal includes Hugo.

If we get him can the fee be based on the funny clips. They'll have to pay us millions to take him off their hands.

Go on then. Good luck.

He makes Tall Paul look like Ronaldo.

Brazil's version of Mr Bean.

Apparently those were his best bits.

That made me laugh 🙂 If we sign this clown the lunatics truly have taken over the asylum but he'll certainly get fans laughing rather than crying.

Hope this is click bait.

Oh dear. Hopefully this one can be filed in the list of rumours that never happened.

Isn't that rather concerning or have I misinterpreted it.

Looks like the Dunce Cap formation - quite apt really.

So it's on RM and the coaches then.

So poor coaching then.

You make it sound like we weathered the storm to become the better side and then conceded to a mistake when actually Forest had all the shots/chances in the whole of the second half. Better to be realistic rather than to dress it up into something it wasn't.

Sounds like it was either poor coaching or players not understanding the coaching or players not good enough to implement the coaching - or a combination of all three. Whatever the truth it simply wasn't good enough.

So, no actual attacking there then. Just a lot of pointless possession that eventually fizzles out.

Does this mean we are going to actually do some attacking?

You may be right but this seems a pointless signing if it happens - don't we have Archer who could play across the front line? What we are in desperate need of, and it's been an ongoing dereliction of duty from our owners, is a powerful goal-scoring centre forward with pace who can put the fear of God up opposition defences.

Have seen zero similarity between us and how Brighton play their high energy, fast brand of attacking football. If only we could muster 20% of their verve and swagger!

Nail hit firmly on the head. If RM chooses his own stubborn way he runs a high risk of being the architect of his own downfall. He simply must adapt his tactics but my fear is that he's not going to budge from his hard held beliefs - noble but foolish in my book.
