Re: New Layout of Cricket Field

Seems odd to have the players entering the ground at the North East corner and then have the tunnel in the South West. Are the players going to have to walk across the pitch to the changing rooms after they’ve arrived or have we dug a secret underground passage?

Re: Burnley value Esteve at 50 million

You can take these headline valuations with a pinch of salt as a lot will depend on deal structure and who the buying club is. For example, it may be just as attractive to sell for £35m paid up front versus £50m spread over five years. Time value of money and credit risk of the buyer both need to be...

Burnley were 9th, PNE been 24th.

80 yellows, 2 sent off, 1 for 2 yellows (can’t remember who) and a straight red.
Didn’t Humphreys get sent off for two yellows at Leeds?

Re: Joe Worrall

Must have been really hard for Joe to leave Forest, being a fan. Would have been easy for him to have sulked this season too, given his lack of game time for us following the rise of CJ, but from what I have seen he as been the model professional. Seems like a good character to have around.

Re: Permutations for Promotion

The odds are very much in our favour, but if Sheff U beat us and Stoke on Friday night then we will go into the final two matches a point behind them but with a game in hand. That could make for a very nervy end to the season.

Re: Today's football

I imagine Sheff U will probably need to win all their remaining matches to stand any chance of finishing top 2. Even then, 2 wins and a draw from our other 3 matches would see us finish above them in goal difference. It’s not over yet but our form probably needs to collapse from here.

Sarmiento does a lot without actually doing anything.
Sums him up perfectly. He’s a busy fool. Can’t fault his effort but just doesn’t seem to have a footballing brain. Hangs on to the ball too long and makes poor decisions. He’s more suited to doing ball skill tricks in Trafalgar Sq.
