Wonder if the treatment for Huntingdon's might help in future, as that's partly MND?

"The venue switch has been triggered by Winter Olympic Games logistics, with Milan’s San Siro stadium hosting the opening ceremony for the 2026 Games on 6 February – the weekend that the game is scheduled to take place". Fully understandable. If your own ground is being used for an opening ceremony ...

Before the season started, did anybody really expect to be on more than 4 points at this stage?

The way Sunderland competed against Forest and Villa then maybe we should have been on the front foot a bit more.

I stand by what I said this week in regard to the Leeds game being 'must win'. It just isn't, a draw doesn't leave us needing snookers or anything near it. Many will disagree but if we draw, are the contributors to this board chucking the towel in? We need to win games and it looks like the home fo...

What about Humpreys in the middle of the defence?

No it won't.

Not being good enough without spending 400m will be our undoing.

Sunderland drew with Villa despite being down to ten men.

Spijed

And to think Liverpool paid over £150 million for Wirtz and Kerkez.

Not even worth half that figure

It’s £10 to park in the cricket field car park and they don’t allow blue badge disabled badges so I paid which is ok. But where would be closer than there?

The only other car park near to the ground is behind the convent where it's £5 to park

Spijed

I still think Sunderland go down. They have been incredibly lucky with the fixtures and more specifically when those games were played. They should have lost points to Brentford who missed a pen and Palace who missed an open goal. They beat West Ham with about 0.6 xg. They played Forest after a Eur...

How come we struggled against Spurs when Wolves, without a point, nearly got a win?

Looking like we gave them too much respect.

Spijed

Am I correct in thinking that we could have drawn them instead of Aberdeen in the Europa League?

It would be a very cool away trip!

Spijed

Today shouldn't be just about winning. It should also be trying to ram the win own the throats of the Americans.

Immense performance by Sunderland-benchmark display for a promoted team

Doesn't help when Chris Wood missed an open goal though.

I suppose one of the benefits of any sort of "improvements" to the Bob Lord is that they could make the seats narrow, less comfortable, and more plasticky than they are now. Why people want to replace the best seats in the league, I have no idea - perhaps I'm at the time of life when I prefer a com...

Clearly the manager doesn't see him as better than any of that starting 11
Based on seeing him everyday and not just a few minutes during a game

But what's the point of keeping him in the 25 man squad?

Spijed

In terms of value looking a far better buy than Kerkez at Liverpool.

It goes to show that you don't have to pay way over the odds to get very good premier league players.

Really good yesterday, i suspect that we may struggle to keep him.

Is he just on loan for the season or do we have the option to buy him at the end?

Spijed

When was the last time non of the promoted sides were in the bottom three after five matches?

Spijed

Sunderland, Liverpool & now Forest where we've made schoolboy mistakes.

Once we get settled we seem organised but why are we struggling in the first five minutes or so?

Spijed

The promoted sides are making a far better fist of it than in the last two seasons so far.

Not sure who this expert was but it sounds like duff commentary to me.

We went down, back up, down again, and now up again.

To the tune of Chumbawamba

Have to admit this rule caught me out too. I couldn't understand why MacAllister was allowed to stay on until a bloke near me explained it. It's still a weird one though. Why is yellow card the threshold? If a player is fouled and injured, and the referee agrees it's a foul, why are they only allow...

Spijed

Yep, which is why I'd expect us to set up more like Sunderland (where we had a similar priority) than Liverpool (where we concluded, rightly, our least worst option was allowing crosses into the box). Hannibal's job would be to rat around the base of Forest's midfield and to fill in if either wide ...

Spijed

As Ugochukwu is now suspended for the game I presume Laurent will play instead, with Luis in front of the back four.

We need to stop Anderson & Gibbs-White controlling things.

Spijed

I think both Wrexham & Birmingham are finding the Championship far tougher than expected, and the gap to League one is quite big.

Spijed

Obviously a very good player but Liverpool paying £40 million seems a bit over priced.

I thought you were allowed to use someone else's season ticket as long as you are in the same age group?

A footballing visionary

Considering every side in the Prem now does the same.

Whether it's a red card or not, just like Anthony last week, he made a stupid decision.

Why make a tackle like that when there was no need.

If he didn't fly in the ref would never have thought about giving him a red card.

Not food as such, but why would anyone ever want to drink root beer?

You might as well just drink TCP and Germolene mixed in with lemonade to get the same effect.

Considering anyone can buy a membership to be the first in the queue un-vetted is it any surprise?

Spijed

Why can't people just refer to players as strikers, centre forwards, left winger, right winger, central midfield etc.

Spijed

Fair play to England. You can't only beat what's in front of you, and Serbia look a very poor side.

Yes I’ve been thinking about this Why can’t they add the cup game ticket to our Season card? I seem to recall that this has happened previously? If the club had said all cup games will be added to season ticket cards but all paper tickets have an additional £1.50 surcharge there would probably be f...

When he signed for Man City he was seen as the replacement for Ederson, not only to be Man City's number one for many seasons, but also replacing Pickford in goal for England. But since Man City have now signed Gianluigi Donnarumma he'll surely be the main goal keeper as he's only 26. All well and g...

By all accounts, Parker has been very pleased with Tresor's attitude and application. Given he was happy to say certain players didn't want to be here, I doubt he'd go to the trouble of publicly praising him if it wasn't true. The fact that he didn't make the bench on Saturday would suggest he isn'...

From the BBC: "Can Premier League clubs sign players outside of the transfer window?" Yes. Clubs can sign free agents - players who are not contracted to another club - at any time. However, unless there is space in a club's registered squad or the player is under the age of 21, new signings must wa...

At least it gives us some hope that both teams looked woeful on the road against Sunderland.

Change in set piece coach anyone? He was mocked, but so many forget what a role he would have played in our defending last season.
