A bit of a pointless topic so apologies in advance...but the thought came to me today...what if we had domestic rules that stipulated that every club could only have 1 overseas player and the rest had to be a British Isles national (ie. Ireland included) ? Would our interest be less piqued ? Would ...

Fair play to you, agreenwood. You're battling hard against the odds.

It must feel like a thankless task, but its very much appreciated.

Foster was superb.

Fully fit and you see the real player.

He's so unlucky with VAR, two already disallowed this season added to the Forest one last time around, there could be more but can't remember.

Good news, and also still got time to get at least one more quality player in, hopefully two.

billyhamilton82

Proud of the lads and many positives in that second half performance. We now finish strong in the window and carry on. Utd will beat most teams at Old Trafford this season and we pushed them all the way. The main thing is that we are competitive, this is a totally different situation than the VK sea...

billyhamilton82

Come on Burnley

Well done Foster, keep going and shut the doubters up

billyhamilton82

I wouldn't be too critical. All things being equal this is how it should be. Multi-million pound world class players against a small town club that are hopeful of a result rather than expectant. I was rather hoping we'd get United on an off day but it aint happening. They're playing well and stifli...

billyhamilton82

Big risk leaving it as the same 11

I assume it will be the usual 60 minute changes.

Lets hope we can stay in it and the lads improve

billyhamilton82

SP will definitely be earning his money if his team talk and changes can turn this around...

Lets hope he can instill some belief in them

billyhamilton82

Keep it at 1-0 and we've always got a chance.

We surely can't play that badly in the second half, also (hopefully) they can't be as good?

The actual figure for Ugochukwu wasn’t released but it was said ‘north of £20m’… so could be similar.

Hope we can close this one without a late hijack, as Romano puts it.

Ironically the only way this deal will be hijacked is because Romano has informed everyone.

It’s going to be one busy deadline day. Benson Tresor Delcroix Worrall Hladky Churlinov All these you could envisage moving on. Green already moved out so Hdlaky will be staying unless we sign another keeper. There could also be some surprises moving out if we manage to sign the afore mentioned tar...

Sky now reporting the deal for Florentino Luis is done club to club.

The deal is a loan plus an obligation to buy, with the total fee believed to be worth £21.6m (€25m).

All of the subs made an impact.

We have got some massive positives out of that game. 1. Ramsey got in a full competitive 90 inutes and looked strong. 2. Sonne had a solid performance and scored. 3. Tuanzebe in his 45 minutes has shown his quality, definitely a CJER replacement. 4. Banel was impressive and showed no fear and had an...

I don't like singling out players but I have been watching Edwards defensive contribution, to try and understand why a player with so much quality can't get a start. Standing next to the player or jogging within 5 yards of them isn't defending. Sadly, that first half explains why SP can't trust him ...

Very good not the first time I’ve thought it but very similiar in style to Tony Adams. There is an uncanny resemblance in playing style and he actually has the look of him. Rolls Royce of a player, unsurprising as the Swedish International CB. If he was fit last season CJER wouldn't have had a look...

Yesterday's performance and result was great. Doesn't change that, IMO, there are big holes in the squad for parts of this system and that we have spent big sums of money on areas of the squad we already had enough quality whilst ignoring those holes. The transfer window we have had is probably the...

It's a squad game especially in the Prem, Flemming will get his opportunity, and he will prove his worth.

Oops, Trafford

Harsh on Trafford but he will probably get the blame for this scoreline, but it has nothing at all to do with his performance.

Spurs have dominated from start to finish and fully dserve a two goal lead.

billyhamilton82

Just shows what I know.

When I saw the team sheet last week I marked out Spence and Richarlison as their weak links, they were both exceptional against us and are again today.

Not exactly his fault, the defender dropped him in the mire somewhat.

Richarlison's workrate is incredible.

Given Humphreys can play LB very well, wouldn't you rather have Esteve in the middle? I think I'd rather our man mountain be central with Humphreys a bit more license to link up with Hartman.

Dubravka Walker - Humphreys - Esteve Tanzuebe - Cullen - Uguchukwu - Hartman Taoucha - Foster - Anthony Broja Humphreys is perfect as the central player in a back 3 because he is capable with both feet, and similar pace to Egan Riley.
