Neill and Cahill starting.

We can take credit for that.

But you have to get past Fulham first :lol:

And with 10 INJURED/SICK PLAYERS its not going to be easy.

At least Fulham are missing Murphy and a few others too.

Fucking bullshit. We were dominating, hit the bar. And then THAT fucking lucky scuffed shot BS. fuck that.

THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!! FUCK YES!!

now FUCK OFF VORONIN and put Yossi in the hole!!!

Hmmm. Theres half an hour to go in a must win game. So you take off TORRES/!!!?!?!??!?? RAFA WTF

I know its for the Lyon game but ffs. League is very important

Oh my.

Rafa defo wants to be sacked.

Why else would he do that?

And Red Card for Degen....NOT a red card.

Aaaand a red card for Carra. Thats more of a red card though.

Rafa made a few horror choices tonight. But our squad WAS decimated.

LOL Carra goone...

And wtf Rafa?

Brings on Ayala for Kuyt.

Defending his way into a loss... Great Tactic.

God I love Rafa. Keeping Liverpool down. They won't make the 4 at this rate.

Sigh. It looks like Fulham will get another too.

Liverpool to be relegated.

Two man team. Can't do it without Gerrard or Torres.

:lol:

1. Starting Voronin was a huge error. Played horribly.
2. Playing Yossi on the left was a waste. When in the middle he can be the maestro and create chances. Wasted out wide.
3. Taking Torres off was stupid.
4. Taking off Yossi was foolish
5. Taking off Kuyt was dumb.

Can pretty much just say Rafa is a crazy bugger. Not a crazy as in 'it's so crazy, it just might work'. A crazy as in 'wtf are you thinking dumbass' crazy.

He's like a 14 year old playing FM. Just does whatever the fuck he wants.

Who of those guys were injured? Surely he wouldnt take all of those guys off fit?

That's the thing...no-one was injured.

Torres off for Babel - no explanation I can think of...its a pure wtf moment.

Yossi off for Ecclestone- Only thing I can think of is he didn't like playing as Yoshi.

Kuyt off for Ayala- WTF.

Like I said, he loved defending himself into a loss. Genius.

Despite a big injury list Forest are unbeaten in 7 games and are unbeaten away from home following a very competitive 1-1 draw away to high flying Cardiff City who missed the chance to go top. Come on you reds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Common we need a win here. 35 mins gone.

Lmao collo surging run.

Seriously need a huge injection of pace down both wings. When and if we return to the prem. That and a quality striker.

1-0 UP. OG by Sheffield U. These are the big games that count. Get in there.

Pressuring by SU. 84 mins played.

FT NUFC 1 - SUFC 0

Back on the road to promotion. On top with 30 points.

Tough on Sheff Utd.

Seriously, you really should figure out how to use the EDIT button. ;)

Sheffield gave you a good pounding tonight but you still came away with the points - always a good sign for a club. But you'll need more than wingers and a forward if/when you get back in the Prem. You've got an EPL keeper, one EPL defender, and possibly two EPL midfielders. It's taken my lot $150mill to go from CCC champions to half-decent (emphasis on the half) EPL side.

Very true, who ever gets promoted from the CCC this year needs to undertake massive investment to have a chance of survival next season. Just look at WBA the yo-yo side of late.

Harper - A very good Keeper. Saved us this game thats for sure. Probably not as good as given, but both are quite similar.
DEFENCE
Jose Enrique - Great player coming into his own. Great LWB. Puts in great deliveries.

Collocini - Coming into his own as of late. Definitely adapting to the english game. But still has alot to learn.

Ryan Taylor - Def a EPL class defender. Hence offers of 8-10 mill in the summer

RB - DEFINATELY need replacements here.

NEED MORE COVER Needed

---

MF

Guthrie - Good(but not great) all round midfielder

Alan Smith - Obviously not the same since his bad injury at man u. I says need replacement. But descent i guess.

Nicky Butt - Old , slow, short. Not the Strong tackling DM he used to be. But as a small MF in his mid 30s who would be? Def needs replacing

Jonas - Good LWer, good on the ball.

RW - NEEDS DESPERATE recruits. And a fast one too. Should definately put in a strong bid for Aaron Lennon or walcott, Ashley Young. (we spent 17mill on the rubbish owen), im sure that fee would cover one of these guys)

NEED a good play maker in midfield

Should consider - John Obi Mikel, could be expensive but has no place at Chelsea since Essien is back, Great player. 8-10 million should prize him away from chelski.


STRIKERS

---

Caroll - Good but still to young and inexperienced, and way too slow.

Nile ranger - Great prospect but still too inexperienced for the epl. Needs to be slowly bled in.

Ameobi - Doesnt cut it in the EPL.

Should consider:

Bringing Oba Martins back (unlikely)

Emile Hesky - Fell out of Favor at Aston Villa. Id take him any day of the week. Great player.


In Summary:

Should consider:

Oba Martins - 5-7 million
Emile Heskey - 3-5 million
John Obi Mikel (if transfer ban gets lifted) - 10-12 million
Aaron Lennon/Ashley Young/walcott - 12-20 million?
Brett Emerton (Great versatile player can play at RW or RB), would probably come cheap. Great at deliveries also and a descent defender. 3-5 million?
Sol Campbell (if he lowers his wage demand, could be used as defensive cover) - Free xfer

---

Total: about 35-45 million in spending Quite reasonable for returning to the prem and if ashley is serious about keeping the club.

All of those players, except perhaps Campbell, would NEVER go to Newc in January .
