A few observations. The first XI is top 6 quality. We've been performing as less than the sum of the parts for a long time. Joao is the single most pivotal player we've had in recent memory. Not since before the glory days have we been so reliant on one player to get our game to work. Worth every p...

For those struggling to get in... I did last year going "to iFollow" Now I just go to Live Match Centre and click on watch live. Has worked first time every time and picture VERY sharp Can't remember accessing any other way and although sometimes slow entering no issues once in picture at...

In what way is the “structure” not built around football where is it’s non footballing element? Bowen was offered a position that would only have strengthened that structure but he declined.

I understand why some fans will not like it but Hobnob is like an echo chamber with a short circuit.

I wouldn't have sacked Bowen but his appointment has now been placed in it's true perspective and, whether or not you agree with the decision, I wouldn't call it shambolic, more an owner committed to taking the club where he wants it to be, having never shown the slightest sign of being unwilling to...

Couldn’t be more delighted that Ovi is finally ours! He’s not over rated he’s a special talent who needs to be played between the lines behind the striker where he’ll do the most damage. I still believe Swift will be snapped up once others accept we won’t be giving him away and that will help balanc...

He'll get a few games in a league one club, who else will sign him? He's taken a huge risk in the current climate and is being poorly advised, probably got the same agent as Loader While I find it very disappointing we let his contract run down, I agree. With no gate money since March and even less...

Unfortunately this is Hobnob. Back in the real world your case makes perfect sense. If Brentford’s strategy doesn’t amount to sound financial stability in the crazy world of football finance, God knows what that says about all those fretting over points deductions as the bulldozers arrive at Griffin...

With wages over 200% and up against a wall on FFP, there was only one way to do this and that was get rid then rebuild which is, more or less, where we find ourselves within a week of season’s end. This was desperately needed if we ever want to get back to the financial stability of those far off da...

And if you don't have or want facebook, can you see without an account? And some of us are firmly in this camp having paid a tenner for a ticket but can't make it and would happily pay again to watch on ifollow. It's beyond mental that all these matches that are clearly being televised are not avai...

Lads. We have already played 40 games this season. No way should we look to rest players for a cup competition. The league is our focus. Winning games in the league, finishing as high as possible and playing our key players together where possible to further build on their teamwork and understandin...

Simmops Good referee. The best a man can get.

Not sure everyone agrees though - a Leeds article on the ref:

I'd say West Brom are the best team and would agree Bamford is nothing special.

Meite 1-0!

Ben Watson says “At the end, it was nice to get the goal but then again I don’t think it was a corner and the ball went out, and there was probably a handball” So just 3 reasons in the scorers view as to why the goal should not have been given and all 3 were missed by the day’s officials. I’m guessi...

They were good first half and then we were good for most of the second and it had been a good game. Then I blame the ref for letting the match fizzle out. The refereeing was as bad as I can remember. Maybe the ball hadn't gone out before the goal, but the officials had already got two such decision...

Enjoyed Bowen’s interview, but took that comment with a pinch of salt. Interestingly my forest mate was complaining about how dirty Reading were, thinks we are the dirtiest side in the division. Always interesting how different the perspective of a game can be from away vs home end. So Bowen is lyi...

Only shame from the match is that the PA had to be used to remind our fans not to be homophobic. 'Chelsea rent-boys' was getting started from the bottom left corner for much of the first half. I shouldn't get too down on it I know, every fanbase has its idiots, was just a bit depressing. Surprised ...

Thought he was poor throughout except for the odd bit of magic, cracking bit of skill for the chance where Morrison cleared off the line to be fair Over the two games, he’s no where near as good as QPR fans hype him up I really don’t understand. He was the best player on the pitch. Danger danger ev...
