Afternoon all
Karankas under pressure, but after a wave of fickle Muppets came out of the woodwork to spew a torrent of abuse at the club, there has been a second wave of more level-headed and patient fans have come out with overwhelming support for karanka.
Lets be fair, we are vastly more improved at every level compared to this time last year and fans seem willing to wait for progress.
Question is, will Marinakas?

Millwall Vs Forest Match Thread
posted on 30/12/18
Usually when a manager gets the boot you can see why, even if you think he should get a bit longer. In this case it's hard to see a logical reason why. At Derby the exits of Nigel Clough, McLaren, Clement, Pearson and Rowett all had a bit of logic to them given they way the teams were performing at the time. Maybe Clement was the exception as our position in the table was decent but there was other stuff going on behind the scenes and the style of football was very tedious. I tend to look at the overall direction of travel of the club as a whole and at Forest it seems to be moving forwards so why change? If Lampard has a bad run of results at Derby I will still think he is going about things in the right way and making progress overall. Both clubs are in similar positions really, trying to recover from recent chopping and changing and to stabilise, but in Forest's case you have Impatient New Owner Syndrome. I hope our owner has grown out of that and learned his lessons the hard way.

Whilst I get ‘the new owner’ philosophy, Marinakis should know better. He has been involved in football long enough to know that the ‘hire and fire’ routine seldom if ever works. Stability is the key to success, and until recently we appeared to have that at Forest. Yes, AK, has spent a good chunk of cash, but most of the acquisitions have been good, Colback, Lolley even Jenkins and Robinson all make good sense, throw Grabban into the mix and I would say recruitment has been pretty. Get rid of some the fringe players, who AK obviously doesn’t want, bring in 2 or 3 in January, and as I have said before, re-appraise in the summer if necessary. We may fall short of the play offs this season, but I don’t see us in a relegation scrap either.

Jenkins should be Jenko (predictive txt again)😡

Or even Janko?...

Karanka is nobody’s fool. He likes the project at Forest but I think he will walk if he feels there is interference or an abundance of negativity.

I think the next two matches will be sufficiently high profile to spark a reaction from the team. A win over the league leaders and a victory against one of the moneybags of the Prem would be a significant feather in the cap for the players.

Just saying the motivation should be there!

Agree with your sentiment, would be amazing, tbh I would be happy just beating the Dirties on Tuesday. Hopefully this time they will turn up to play football not ‘handball’.
