"I don't make excuses, but...."

Now where have I heard that before?

Interesting to read the forest fans responses to this article.

One said the players should take up yoga, another said perhaps it's because too much water is being sprinkled on the pitch!

Would you want to play in front of 20,000 fans at home. And I bet there is at least 3000 away fans there

17,000 turning up to watch the Man City of the East Midlands

It's disgusting that not one of the so-called 'Forest fans' has condemned the left hook to Abel Fernandez that is clearly being delivered in that photograph.

How about "Stop committing violent acts against opponents. That would make one more senior player available over the next three games.

Another idea. Don't recruit players with a known history of repeated injury.

I must admit that I had to read that article twice. I was convinced I must have missed the name "Ward" in the injury list. Does he not play for them anymore? I can't believe that it's October and he's still fit.

Larry he's more than likely spat his dummy out once again. Resulting him being on the subs bench

I thing Wellies may have touched on that Larry in point 4

Well done for putting us back on topic Igor.

Interesting comment about the wanton use of violence at the club as well that has plagued the team the how many yellow cards can you get in a game under Billy, the abusive treament of Jara that led to his on the pitch sexual assault of another player, Psycho's insistence of kicking everything including the ball as hard and as high as you can and the unsavoury scenes which played out against Hull all because they couldn't score.

Maybe there's some malignant curse surrounding the club or maybe it's just Karma for stealing our two stars.

"...............But the performance of attacking trio Chris O'Grady, Ryan Mendes and Nelson Oliveira was a source of optimism, particularly during the first half."

Talk about glass half-full, (they scored nil at home remember)!

Wellies - shouldn't this thread be titled 'Urgent Inquiry' (ie not 'Enquiry'?

I didn't mean for that wink to be there..

Anyway, Ward is doing OK for us, thanks very much. He looked pretty good when he came on in the second half on Saturday - certainly made our play a bit more dynamic.

He's already missed a few weeks this season with hamstring problems, but we knew that was likely to be the case and it is almost certainly reflected in his wages. Seems like a top bloke. Thanks

I was being poetic sph

What a ing mistake.

You haven't speculated about your yoga-less team's continued ill health though sph.

The main reason is that the top person in the club is a soft touch with no backbone whatsoever. Just sack the manager and leave the players immune, there are no consequences to poor performances so the players don't put in the extra yard in training or forgo the pork pie when not training.

A bit harsh blaming injuries on the chairman.

It's probably more likely to be the case that there's been too much 'inn-questing' by the players. That, and kebabs for afters.

Wellies – you’ve gone a bit quiet. You have an ink-rest?

Nope life just mash up - when I get a life again in a year or so - be warned.
