At OT we are decent to watch. Away from home we are dull and negative tbh. But then I couldn't give a feck about other teams. I actually find Spurs, Arsenal and especially Chelsea pretty dull to watch

you fackin liar. You were all over our board after the city game trying to wum about our setup. Cretin.

You will have to give the stupid Stockport oik a bit of leeway he talks that much rubbish he often forgets he infests other threads with his err brand of banter.

He’s a special kind of stupid.

You don't have to watch Utd as we all know that Jose plays the most boring style in football. Big Sam was more adventurous

We've been quite good most of this season. Last two matches, not so much. But anyone saying we're boring to watch most of the time this season is either trying to Wum or haven't really been watching us.

You have played well against teams well below you but you have and will continue to play with extreme pragmatism against the top sides, and to not a criticism it’s joses way.

Errr yes because you lot had the audacity to call us boring yet set up like that at home. Shocking

Jose builds teams that are packed full of quality, built on defensive solidity. In the home games and easier games they can afford to be a bit more attacking and the quality will usually win over.

In the games vs the bigger and better teams the bus is parked. Risk is taken out of their game. You could see on Sunday vs Liverpool the wider players rarely busted their balls to get in the box, they always had the thought of holding a more defensive position in case Liverpool counter quickly on them.

United under Jose are a 'sit-off' defensive team who without the ball retreat in numbers. This is in contrast to so many now who are a front foot team and press the ball trying to win it back quickly and in high positions. This can leave you exposed if the opposition resist the press and move the ball well.

In most games you will find the opposition cover more distance than Utd

What was noticeable vs Liverpool was that when pressed, United were not that good at finding good balls forward and through Liverpool. Lukaku got little service and was largely isolated from the midfiled, who all clearly had their defensive heads on.

What will be interesting for me is that if City or whoever are 6 or more points ahead going into the Spring then suddenly United have to emphasise attacking. To me Jose seems like one of the best at getting ahead and staying ahead, but not so much in terms of closing large gaps on a leader.

i watch a lot of man utd games in the hope that they will lose. its the same reason i watch chelsea.
their football this season and last has been much easier on the eye generally then under vg and moyes.

The great myth about Forest IMO, is that they're a big club who are underachieving, I think they have always been a fairly small club who MASSIVELY overachieved and that warped people's views on them, and continues to do so.
========================

Just no.

Fill a large ground, take loads away and are world famous.

Their not as big as people make out, maybe "small club" is a bit unfair though. The youth system is very good and has always been tbf so underrated.

As for getting "coined" in Bridgford maybe Hubble but as i say, I'm from West Bridgford and don't associate wit riff-raff thank you very much *adjusts monocle*

Yes mate, East rather than West.

I'd like them to go back up too, think the city needs a pl team. Also, my in laws are all split between being Leicester and forest fans so would be good to have them playing each other again. Probably more likely that will be in the championship though!

They've been in the Championship or League 1 for 18 years now, which is about right for them. I do rate Warburton though, I think some PL clubs may have missed a trick with Barrie McKay, he looked good at Rangers and has done well since signing for Forest.

Completely correct.

We went up with them in 77 and they barely managed 18k average. Chelsea averaged 30k

They averaged as low as 9k in Div 2 in 70s.
