Pepe the Horseman I assumed Brizzle won that game :lol: Cooper's doing a cracking job at Forest.


Still, a relegation battle will give Bristol City 1982 something else to think about other than our FFP points deduction. Nigel Pearson is doing a great job, only 3 more home games without a win until they can claim another record for their honours list, unfortunately they have Barnsley coming up soon though.


How many home games without a win is itt now?

Just counted, it's 16, last home win was 2-1 vs Huddersfield 26th Jan

That is pretty horrific.

Even more horrific...
Their last 10 home games of last season were 0-1-9.
Their first 7 home games this season are 0-4-3.

It's 17 home league games. No wins. :D :D :D

Forest turnaround has been quite remarkable. They are now playing 3 at the back, pacey wing backs, got a solid midfield and a good mix of tricky strikers, all using the existing team. The change in mentality shows how negative Houghton was. A manager can clearly make a difference.

Bournemouth`s form on the road is exceptional, no goals conceded in more than 9 hours, wonder who their next away game is against?

Tbf their run has included all of the top four. Not really defending it but their squad is pretty dreadful, bereft of talent in the attacking areas, been starting with 5 CB’s and Bacuna at RW in recent weeks

Losing H.Wilson, Ojo, Murphy and Hoilett wiped out pretty much all their attacking options

Local journos seem to think they might not be able to afford the payout. Vincent Tan's businesses have been severely hit by Covid, and they've also got a few expensive court cases ongoing (Emiliano Sala being one of them)

They're probably going down with him, everyone who sacks him definitely goes down.

Losing again, they look like a side with no confidence at all, lucky it`s only 1-0.

The least surprising managerial departure. 8 games, 8 losses, 1 goal scored.

Abysmal.

Mutual consent apparently. Assistant Terry Connor gone as well.

6 straight home defeats.

Oddly Middlesbrough, who beat Cardiff 2-0 to prompt Mr McCarthy’s departure, are managed by Mr Warnock who was the manager of Cardiff the last time they won a league game :wink:

Steve Morison and Tom Ramasut Given caretaker role.

8 games, 8 losses but they were very unfortunate not to beat us, let alone lose.

That scoreline flattered Fulham. If West Brom had more quality up front it could have been very different. Fulham looked dodgy as hell at crosses.
Nice of Sky to mention the "Bad feeling from Berkshire" at the Scottish Judas sitting in the stands as well.
