Forest - Just signed their 11th player

Keepers now allowed to move in anticipation of the pen? rather than having to wait until the ball is kicked.
Thus the save from Mitro yesterday, and the Forest keeper's save today.

Makes converting a pen  much tougher, though a pro should always be able to do it.

WHU won't score today even if they play all evening.

We should have signed Niakhate

Based on our opening games, defending hasn't been our issue. It's scoring goals. Dennis/Cornet might of been better. Be interested in who we end up with.

Regardless of your take on it, you can't help but admire what they're doing to try and achieve survival. They really are building a decent squad there considering how much work was needed.
And they are beating the ammers

They have to do something about time wasting in football. It makes the end of games so annoying and terrible to watch.

Can't believe they're going to sign Aouar, he's top quality. They've got a good squad now. More pressure on us to bring in some attacking quality.

WHU looking really bad the first two games.

What I found today is, When Bowen is crowded out, they just lack so much cutting edge.

Caedal

Didn't think much of Forest defensively, and think they got very lucky at times, plus Henderson with some good saves. They do look a threat going forward though, and Dennis is another good addition. If they can tighten up at the back I think they'll be fine. Cooper is a good manager

More annoying that again, a team who we expect to be down and around relegation, play a team in the top half who aren't performing but manage to pick up a win. Something we really should of done too. Oh well. We'll just need to hope we can beat Brentford.

Yes...But they could have scored 5 today.

Was nice to see Forest shirts without sponsor crap written all over the front.

Well... spending 125m this window, perhaps forest have put all their eggs in a very well built basket...

I agree with all of that, but if the rumours are true then they are signing him on top of having already signed Mangala and O'Brien, and have deals done for Kouyate and Freuler. That's 5 new central midfielders, which will cost north of £40m and lots more on wages, for 2 places in their team.

I get they had a lot of financial headroom given their squad, but they have still consistently made heavily losses the last few years in the Championship and it will be really, really interesting to see their accounts.

Where's all the money coming from. I sniff something very dodgy.

According to a forest fan at work they want 20 million for the front of their shirts apparently

Just checked him out.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelos_Marinakis
Lots of investigations about him match fixing and drug trafficking. Which he was cleared of all.
Right at the very bottom of the page it says (about the drug trafficking): "In January 2021 and after 10 witnesses of the case have already died, and after reviewing the case, the judge came to the conclusion that there was no evidence implicating Marinakis, and therefore concluded his investigation."
