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.

Agree although the long term injury concerns me after our experience with Ross Stewart - we can't afford to risk a repeat of that fiasco.

Enjoyed watching this so many thanks for sharing.

No thanks, he'd slow us down even more and provide less athleticism.

He won't be.

I see Cardiff are bottom of the Championship having been hammered 5-0 by Burnley and getting a 1-1 draw at Swansea. Play a reasonably strong line-up and we should expect to win this.

Wouldn't mind us trying to get Jens Petter Hauge who is a very good left sided Norwegian striker. Would probably be complicated though as he is registered with Eintracht Frankfurt and currently on loan to K Bodo/Glimt who have an option to buy. He's 24 and has bags of skill and scores goals and makes assists. If we played him on the left of a three up front BBD could move to centre forward.

This is spot on - if you want to play RM's possession game you need players who are good enough to do it quickly and adept enough to make clever passes (they are too expensive for us)or it serves no purpose. RM likes to believe we play some kind of brave game but we don't - we just play sideways and backward passes until we lose the ball. Also, he continually broadcasts that we won't change so teams like Forest know they can set up to press us high and we aren't good enough to play through them nor will we hit long balls to bypass their press so basically we're stuffed.

As you played semi-pro level you must realise we are competing at a much higher level so last season doesn't mean much - also just because you played at that level has no bearing on whether you understand the game more than I do and it's a little arrogant to think you do. Learning RM's way I believe is not going to happen because we don't have players of a high enough skill set so we'll likely get relegated trying and then be back to square one next season with a different set of players trying to learn the system - we're in a Catch 22 situation. The next few matches will be interesting.
