Ye its ridicilous really. Didnt see their game today but against Norwich they defended with ten men inside their own penalty box from minute one with only that old Wimbledon striker chasing like a maniac up front.

How soon is now?
Is Murray even bothering to travel up to Watford anymore? He doesn’t seem to have made a match day squad in weeks....
That’s surprising to me.
Yes at this level that was CH’s philosophy, but we played some very good stuff at times in the Championship. He needs time.

Forest are like Sheff Wed and Sunderland it does not matter who takes the job there seems to be something fundamentally wrong at the club that prevents success.
Think Chris will find himself the next in a long line of people who tried and failed to turn it around there

he'll have them hard enough to beat by the end of the season to not be in threat of the bottom 3.
Will be hard viewing for the fans.
Be interesting how he does next season with a couple of windows. Thats when will judge this move.
If he gets time

Indeed, that’s if he’s given the time. The first season for us under Hughton wasn’t exactly fantastic we scraped by being hard to beat, Chris deserves to be backed at Forest with his management history and success in the championship, let’s hope they allow him January at least to get a squad together.
Maybe we could loan him a few
They really need to get rid of players before signing anyone. They already got 30+ players and their "star" defender Joe Worrall said today that they "are not friends" in the squad.

They cant really just keep adding players forever, having 10 unhappy players lingering around the facilities is just not going to end up well. There's enough quality in their current squad to end mid-table, better to get rid of the deadwood than to add some of CHs pals.

And that has to be remembered - the last six games were against the top six in the Championship - and they were tough games. If Forest win a couple of games before the end of the year it will make a big difference to their league position and to their confidence. Then there needs to be a big clear out and some quality brought in. Wouldn't be surprised to see Murray end up at Forest in January - he hasn't played for Watford since the end of October and has only been in their matchday squad once in the last 10 games (and didn't play).
Is it PotG?

Currently leading MASSIVE.
Let’s hope they keep it up.
It’s a stable year with big old Forest, top six in the Country and FFP dodging Derby all looking likely for League One next season.

It finished 2-0.
Pleased for Chris, he really needed that win.

Hmmm effectively it's a lot further then 200 years though, unless you fancy swimming across the Trent.

One thing of note from the game - Hughton played two kids for the first time - 19 year-old Loïc Mbe Soh at centre-back and 18 year old Alex Mighten in midfield - the performance of both was praised by Hughton after the game. Along with that, he played Cafu (who was brought to Forest as a defensive midfielder) in a foward role as an attacking midfielder and said after the game that he wants Cafu to try and score goals when ever he gets the chance.

Must have seemed strange for Bongy at first, wearing a red shirt, after spending so long in blue, Wigan prior to the Albion.
