You make a good point. sky sports pundits 100% (2 in total) were for us. The sky sports presenter is a leeds fan, so i'm going to stick my neck out with 100% of presenters too. Plus 100% of charlton fans i spoke to today (1 fan in total) thought it was absolutely stonewall and couldn't understand the controversy!
So latest transfer news Douglas Louiz is more or less done as he is in Forest right now. Johnathon Rowe and AdriennRabiot are both on their way out of Marseille for fighting, but real reason they need some cash after splashing out on Piaxcoa. Remember Krstovic well he’s now signing for Atalanta as the Muniz deal collapsed as Fulham wouldn’t accept €40m. Fulham are dezzy for cash as only spent £400k so far. Will Leeds go back in with a better offer? £34.5m is what Atalanta offered maybe go in with a final offer of £38m
For what it's worth, I thought last night's penalty decision was a fair one, though I've certainly seen those not given. But we were by far the better team on the night and so deserved our bit of luck. Everton didn't deserve to get anything from that game. The most important thing is that we secured the 3 points. I recently read an interesting statistic: every team promoted to the Premiership over the last 10 seasons has avoided relegation if they took 11+ points from their first 10 games. For those that managed only 8-10 points, the survival rate was 20 per cent, and for those achieving 7 points or less it was a miserable 8 per cent survival. It shows how important it is to get off to a good start in the campaign. Buoyed by last nights' victory, when you look at our next nine matches, we ought to be able to break the 11 point threshold comfortably. Here's hoping....
One minor thought i had was that if I was manager I would ban the sliding on the knees celebration. There have been countless injuries because of it and most of our squad is made of biscuits. Ban it. 2 weeks wages if you do it. A months wages if you do it and get injured. I'd also give a weeks wage fine for anyone who gets booked for taking their shirt off to celebrate. That stuff accumulates and results in needless bans.
I know what you’re saying and it’s a fair point but in the heat of them moment after scoring a winner in that cauldron it’s easy to understand players losing control for a few seconds. Probably only Bamford that was capable of injuring himself that way
I seem to remember Paddy Bamford being out for ages and came back and scored and injured himself celebrating. Out for weeks again. So I agree have a huddle and cuddle but FFS don’t do knee slides or try to jump the hoardings
I had Forest as dark horses for relegation for this exact reason. The owner is a lunatic and Forest could easily self implode.
I think even Jesse Marsch would be able to keep them up sadly. I do think it will all come crashing down at some point though
