    Wonder if Ekwah was the one at the stadium yesterday for the match?

    Said after a few weeks of the season I thought Forest would click eventually and the World Cup break would help them if they could manage not to get left behind. Didn’t think the bottom half would be so tightly packed at this stage though! I don’t think I’d mind a transfer window like that if I’m honest :emoticon-0102-bigsm Going up would be good for us IMO, even if we do have a bad season and go straight back down the financial boost would be huge. Players values would increase too, Burnley offloaded a few average players for megabucks when they went down which helped fund their spending spree in the summer. The teams who end up in the top 2 come the end of the season are teams that’ve just been relegated and reinvest more often than not.

    Was there any more info on Ekwahs injury after the u21 game the other day? He had his ankle iced up. Hopefully not too bad.

    Good post mate. The problem is that the current squad would sustain a big divide......those who can handle the PL and those who can't. As you say,our recruitment is key, and,again,I agree,we would be richer,even if we came back down.
    I suppose my point is.....I'm not happy to go up and get thumped every week.....I'd rather stay in the Championship until I'm really sure we're ready.....on field and off.... to sustain in the PL.

    Hope you're right. Wouldn't mind another forward, maybe a broadhead type who can anywhere along the frontline.

    I’m sure we would go for promotion if it was in our grasp. however KLD has said the club is nowhere near ready. I think he/they would be happy with a couple of yo-yo seasons if it meant bringing in the premier league money to invest long term while exposing our young players to the premier league without too much pressure. The problem we would have is that the supporters would never be happy with this, even if it was well considered. Some people would just want more money thrown around again regardless of the impact on the club.
