Lighthouse Posted 31 August, 2011 Posted 31 August, 2011 I predict someone will say it within 10 posts. Get behind LTTANO FFS!
Matthew Le God Posted 31 August, 2011 Posted 31 August, 2011 The window is shut hurray! No more rumours! The loan window opens three days before the Forest game.
BlakeySFC Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 (edited) 3-1 win, let's tear them a new one? Edited 1 September, 2011 by BlakeySFC
saintdom Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 tear them a new one? 3-0 Lambert (2) Lallana
SuperMikey Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 -------------------------DAVIS------------------- RICHARDSON------FONTE------HOOIVELD------FOX GULY------SCHNEIDERLIN------CORK-------LALLANA ----------------LAMBERT------CONNOLLY---------- Subs: Bart, Harding, Seaborne, Hammond, De Ridder Schneiderlin ahead of Hammond because I think Cork can do Hammond's job of tracking runs and breaking up play, and Schneiderlin is great creatively and can pick out an excellent pass. My main worry about this match is that Forest have Ishmael Miller up front for them now - he's a tricky bastard. Will be an interesting game! I reckon a 2-2 draw.
PhilippineSaint Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 3-1 Loss, we're **** and don't have enough players to compete with Forest at this level Where the **** did Blakey come from every post on this forum since yesterday has been more negative than Alpine Dalek and Hypo put together Blakey if you dont like it GO AWAY
Rebel Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Richardson and Guly are a real weakness defensively on our right flank. Fraser was shocking against Millwall. Bouazza could easily have had a hatrick. And it sounds like we were just as bad there against Leicester. I'm not sure how we solve this problem apart from playing Cork at right back - but we need him and Morgan in the middle to keep the ball.
scott_saints Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 We're screwed without any decent new players. Our squad clearly isn't good ebough, as shown by how the season is going so far. Cortese out.
Eastcowzer Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Did forest sign anyone? Have'nt noticed Dexter Blackstock's name in Forest's latest team sheets. Is he still with them, injured, or what. ? If he's out of favour, then perhaps HCDAJFU, as he seems to have scored fairly regularly for 'the Forest'. McLaren seems to be doing a reprise of his England career at the City Ground. so probably would'nt let Blackstock go out on loan, especially to Saints.

Did his cruciate ligaments at the end of last season, think he's out until Jan/Feb time.
Thedelldays Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 seeing as we have only signed 4 player... we have no chance
Vershinin Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Forest look woeful at the back. If we have our shooting boots on, we'll be quite comfortable.
surrey1saint Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 We need to do what we did at Ipswich ,then we will get the 3 points we want.
Raging Bull Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Forrest were woefull against the hammers and looked seriously low on confidence. Their defence was poor at best and will be panicking with Lallana, Guly, Lambert & Conolly running through them. Can't wait.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Did his cruciate ligaments at the end of last season, think he's out until Jan/Feb time. Think you're a few months out. Dexter is back in training albeit not full training.
SaintRobbie Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 This will be interesting. I have a niggling doubt about Adkins against experienced managers, Maclaren is no fool (particularly if he leaves his umbrella behind). We should win easily… but I am in two minds on placing a bet to win on this after Sven confirmed my niggling doubt last Saturday!
trousers Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 3-1 Saints (Lambert 23, Connolly 52, De Ridder 83)

Raging Bull Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 3-1 Saints (Lambert 23, Connolly 52, De Ridder 83) That's very precise, however now would be the perfect time to keep a clean sheet.
Lighthouse Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 We will win 2-2. Beattie will score a hattrick.

SVE got a little lucky with a keeper in outstanding form.

Both Sven and Adkins made changes at half time and the game swung massively in our favour. I'm not sure they even got in our half 2nd half.
Saint_clark Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 We will win 2-2. Beattie will score a hattrick. Erm?
S-Clarke Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 This will be interesting.

We should win easily… but I am in two minds on placing a bet to win on this after Sven confirmed my niggling doubt last Saturday! There is no way any of our fans should be thinking ''we should win this game easily''. What are we, real madrid or something? We've just been promoted and everyone expects us to be thrashing everyone for some reason. (teams like Forest who were in the top 6 last year ffs) Winning most weeks for the last few years at a lower level, doesn't mean you will do it at a higher level. I'm pretty sure we'll loose more games this year than last year, as the oppo is at a totally different level. I have a feeling quite a few of our fans will struggle to adjust to this.
itchen_dan Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Never thought I'd be saying this at the start of the season but this game should be comfortable. They've looked really poor defensively particularly against Leicester and West Ham. Confident that Lambert will win plenty of flick ons and free kicks against Wes Morgan and Chambers and Lallana and Guly/De Ridder can really attack the full backs. Can't see Miller doing much upfront. We contained him really well in the friendly against WBA and began to get very frustrated when he wasn't getting the ball. Very Confident. Saints 3-0. Lambert, Guly, Hooiveld
Dalek2003 Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Meetng Forest at a good tme. They look fragile and can see us winning this one, 2-1

If you call 5 goals fairly regularly then you must be a happy person. Personally I would prefer someone who scores a lot more.
S-Clarke Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 If you call 5 goals fairly regularly then you must be a happy person. Personally I would prefer someone who scores a lot more. You getting hm confused with MCgoldrick? Blackstock has been a decent success for them, 18 in 56 apps IIRC. He's out injured atm, has been for the past 6 months, will be back in the new year apparently.

S-Clarke Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Nope, McGoldrick scored 6 last season, Blackstock 5. Because he got injured in November!
Saint Charlie Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Davis has been shaky recently. Lets give Forecast a game behind a decent back four rather than in the reserves.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Davis has been shaky recently. Lets give Forecast a game behind a decent back four rather than in the reserves. Uhuh, he was awful against Leicester. Numbnuts.

We should win easily… but I am in two minds on placing a bet to win on this after Sven confirmed my niggling doubt last Saturday! Well I'm glad you're not our Chairman. McLaren is a joke manager along with those other wonderful Middlesbrough appointments Bryan Robson and Gareth Southgate. They only need Avram Baron Von Greenback Grant to complete the set.
saintwarwick Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Because he got injured in November! Still managed 18 games, personally I would prefer with what we got instead of going backwards but that is my opinion
saints_is_the_south Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Without wishing to tempt fate, but judging by Forest's start to the season I'd like to think we could get a fairly comfortable 3 points here. Couldn't beat Barnsley (who I thought were utter garbage against us) in their 1st game at home, conceded 3 goals at home to Notts County in the cup, beaten easily at Millwall 2-0 and thrashed by West Ham 4-1. If we are on song then I fancy us putting a few past them.
itchen_dan Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Steve McClaren rumoured to be on the verge of quitting Forest in the next few days. Are we gonna be facing new manager syndrome again?!
Asaint4ever Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 I predict someone will say it within 10 posts. skacel?
saints-cris Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Their central midfield is so slow. I fancy us to win this one. They clearly arent happy with their squad, brought no one in.. and jus got mauled by Westhaaaaam.. looking pretty shaky at the back. Miller will be a handful though.. Lets tear em a new one.
Dark Munster Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 3-1 Saints (Lambert 23, Connolly 52, De Ridder 83) Ok, I'll say it then. This has 0-0 written all over it.
welshsaint92 Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 2-0 Lallana , Lambert. Also think its time to give De Ridder a start on the right instead of Guly.
Crazy Diamond Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 According to the Guardian, McClaren might quit! http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/sep/02/steve-mcclaren-nottingham-forest?CMP=twt_gu "Steve McClaren could be ready to walk out on Nottingham Forest over frustration at a lack of signings in the transfer window, according to reports last night... McClaren is said to have returned to his family home in the north-east to consider his future"

Are we gonna be facing new manager syndrome again?! I don't think McClaren ever "quits" anywhere, always gets sacked. Edited 2 September, 2011 by Window Cleaner
Bad Wolf Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 I don't think McClaren ever "quits" anywhere, always gets sacked. Quit Utd as assistant to join Boro as a manager. Quit Boro to join England. Pretty sure he quit one of his overseas jobs. Not sure if it was the German one or the Dutch one though.
SaintBobby Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Meetng Forest at a good tme. They look fragile and can see us winning this one, 2-1 That would certainly help our drive to cement a final position in the top 17.
