I suppose that an enraged Billy Davies would take some following but I remember that many times he seemed to rouse them after a poor first half.

It will have no effect at all.

Arsenal only have 1 point more after 20 games this season compared to last

Piers morgan says a manager needs 3 or 4 windows.

Daniel Taylor suggesting Karanka will be in charge against Leeds, but that yesterday's result won't have helped his cause.

I was never an Arsenal fan.

However, I did think Arsenal fans were short sighted in seeking to remove such a good servant in Arsene from the club.

His successor isn't sweeping the title or doing any better than Arsene.  Certainly won't stop L********'s title charge.

If we think we have problems losing narrowly to Millwall (a physical, 1 note lump it side we never do well against...) then what about Man City losing to Leicester which seems to put City out of the title race.

3-4 windows...vs Arsene who knew and loved the club.  Arsenal and others are battling the huge investment put into Man City.  Not impossible but not easy to over come.

When I look at the distorted hegemony of the Premiership...I wonder why, as a Forest fan, I'm in such a rush for Forest to be there...  (Rush?  Twenty years.  ::D )

Piers might be right in saying a manager needs 3-4 windows to get 'his' team established.

Forest have had one makeshift transfer window and one 'proper' transfer window with a pre-season for the 1st time in years. That's not enough to take them from where they are to definite top 6.

It shows in the LB, LW, CH, ACM and Striker positions.

We don't have the options to put teams to bed. And if we don't have our best 11 out we suffer.

Give Aitor another window at least and until the end of the season. I'd say we'd have enough to finish top 6.

1 point more.  That's the poetic ironic of wanting such a loyal servant out of their club.

But that's football for you.

Don’t think that’s fair on Carvalho, he brings so much more to the team in link up play, it’s a novelty to see a player with so much talent in a red shirt.

Tin hat time....but.....At 21 yrs young, I genuinely think Dias has a bright footballing future. He has made some very high profile errors, which will need a big performance or ten for fans to forgive, almost Foxesque. However, he has size, pace, quick feet, can finish and works his nuts off. Clearly, he has alot to learn about defending and not panicking under pressure, but there is definitely a player in there, who could be devastating. Should we write him off so soon? Then again can we afford to persevere while he develops? I was fuming after Norwich too by the way and don't think he should be in starting line up at present, but I would honestly rather have seen him as an option at Left Wing Back yesterday than Janko when we needed to find a goal.

I agree with you Zicorice.

I wonder how much he is actually costing us.

See personally I’m not convinced that he will make it, nothing to do with his defending. His positional play is really poor he seems unable to get himself on the ball in the last 20 yards compared to the other wingers. His shooting looks ok but again if he doesn’t get the ball in the right area then it doesn’t matter. Dribbling he just tends t run into people. Can he fix these things, don’t see it happening here!
