With or without it, you do have to have the skillset to do that job in the first place though.
That is totally irrelevant.
TBH, I wonder how people from half-way up the stands can even see it.
Personally I think these "there's something wrong with Foster" threads need pulling right now.

Our team's net cost over the past 2 seasons is about £90 million. Isak cost a reported £70 million.
Some people need a reality check.

Noticed early on he just wasn’t moving off the ball, didn’t seem up to it. Just seen footage of him warning up with some kind of nervous twitch and coming to think of it he was doing it during the game. Not having a go at the lad but I don’t think he should be playing top level football (trying to)...

This isn’t Traffords fault or a dig at Trafford but we are simply going down because kompany refused to play the best goalkeeper at the club for the first 28 games of the season, simple as that.
No, that's not the reason.

Claret tinted glasses mate, if you think our football is pulling the tv audiences in you’re deluded.
Tinted or not, we played a very entertaining style of football at Old Trafford.

In his press conference in the week he described us as “a previous club”. Didn’t even name us
Like you, don’t think he cares either way now but do think he wants Everton to finish strongly.
Isn't Sean Dyche a Forest fan?

So we were beating Brighton (3 points) before Muric’s error converted that to 1.
And we were drawing with Everton (1 point) before Muric’s error converted that to 0.
And you think he cost us 4 points?
Get the abacus out Jakub. Boatsheds figured it out
Feels like 4, but it's not.

It's the state of play where we was before the errors occurred that's accountable. It's not error mitigation that we scored before conceding against Brighton.
Actually you and I are wrong, aren't we?

It's 4pts unfortunately if you paused the live games before the errors you are beating Brighton 3pts & drawing everton 1pt.
This is correct.
And it's the nature of the errors that is cause for some concern.

I still think that Trafford will go onto have a great career and possibly be England's number in the future but at the moment Muric is streets ahead of him. In a way this demontrates the polar opinions on here. Muric may well be better for BFC right now, but he is not "streets ahead". Both keepers ...

Kelleher to be sold apparently, presumably wants to be number one.
Unless the whole story is just rubbish.
I think Kelleher wanted to move to Wolves, but the move was blocked by Liverpool.

Amazing really, scouts at one of the top clubs in the world obviously rate the lad and yet the experts on here don't.
Is Allison leaving?
Or Could it be Trafford replacing Kelleher, who is highly rated and should be a first choice somewhere.

If we drop:
Muric 1st choice (if he's prepared to stay).
Trafford on a half-season loan to a decent European team.
Find a club for Peacock-Farrell, free transfer?
Vigoroux as back-up.
Casper 3rd choice.

Every time I log in here it’s negative whining non stop even when the teams playing well. Far too many simply willing to die on their early anti VK stance.
You are not wrong.
Some of us just want the team, manager "project" to be a success.

Great result but why is he persisting with Fofana again up front. He hasn’t played well in around 3-4 games now. Foster scored last game, give him his position back up front!
i can only think it's contractural.

The problem is that Forest still have to play Sheffield United. If they win that, then we would have to beat either Newcastle or Spurs.

Last 8 matches just the 1 loss

There has been all-round improvement, and an almost settled back 4.
Not decrying Muric's contribution, but the O'Shea/Esteve partnership is the best we've had.

Maybe not the same naivety we show each week at this stage of the season! Berge is certainly not an inexperienced player.
i look at it as a collective thing, it's a team.
Easy to point at individuals, actually I remember Ben Mee doing that sort of thing a few times.

Thought we played well today despite our usual naivety which seems to always result in us conceding.
Naivety is totally understandable given the very little PL experience in the squad.
These lads are learning on the job and it's starting to show.

Why change a winning side I thought Odobert & Foster with Assignon attacking down the middle would be too much for Maguire/Casemiro but no in comes Fofana. Utd where there for the taking and VK let them off the hook maybe the sea air at Brighton is clouding his thoughts.

I think he will. Don't think people put as much store into a few bad results when the overall trend is a positive one. First season in Europe and injuries to key players, are quite important mitigating, contributory factors, to a club with a relatively small squad.
