Nigel has the standard 12 or so matches then like Sven and Paulo had to make an impact.
I'd like to think he has a bit more time than that, he seemed to be making some impact last season. Just the consistency we desperately need.

I'd like to see one or two more faces come in, anymore out do you think?

My comment about the Ricoh was somewhat tongue in cheek, Forest look like with their new investment they could be a serious force to be reckoned with this season. Worrying times!

Away form needs to improve, we were awful on the road last season.

IMO Sven should've had more time after the summer spend the owners gave him.

It just goes to show they're impatient and want success immediately which we all know won't happen.

Worrying times indeed as all the Championship will be strong. Can't wait though.

ETA. I always thought Beckford might be through the door but nothing as of yet so maybe he is staying, a good player when he is tuned in and on form but had some right mare of games as well.

Good result today, performances have been very promising this season, should probably have had a few today as well and I thought Blackpool were very average.

Think we need to improve decision making in the final third, and improve our finishing. I hope Vardy comes good and I'm sure Nuge and Beckford will start hitting the net soon.

Bizarre situation with Becks but glad he's still here, always rated him despite the stick some people give him. Cracking performance yesterday from the bits I saw and I think vardy is looking like a very good signing, a few lovley flick ons, good runs and we have seen that he can finish at this level, I think as the front lot build a better understanding of each other he will get better and better.


Just hope we can get some consistentcy so all the moaners can shut up and we get on with the season!

Cracking result yesterday. Bit of a rough last few games but good to come out with a win and take away a 100% record from another team.

TV tomorrow for the game against Wolves, what are we thinking? They find themselves lower than they probably would expect. I think it will be a pretty close game that we might just edge.

Does the back 4 want to turn up today? Absolute disgrace so far, not good enough whatsoever.

So after a relatviely indifferent start to the season (results wise, not performance as pretty much every game we out played the opposition) we are currently 4 wins on the bounce. Excellent to see the performances being turned in to results, and getting the ugly monkey off our back from last season of being unable to string wins together.

Today was important to beat a very very good Huddersfield side. Whatever comes the next game, win lose or draw, I am very proud of the lads for their efforts so far this season, and the last 4 results have been fantastic.

Quickly add, I've just seen Knockaerts goals, fantastic. The second is so cheeky but well executed. Great signing Nige!

yup, we have clawed back and won where before we would have lost, held onto leads where again in the past we have lost, everyone seems pretty hungry for their place and seems quite settled. after a dodgy start I can already hear the people crying out we are going to win the league lol I wouldnt go quite that far but I do think we will have a better year and hopefully after the last few results the rumors of Pearsons job being on the line will go, we need the club settled!

The first goal looked like something off FIFA or Pro Evo...

Fantastic result last night! bit of a sloppy game for us at the back but got the 3 points. Results went our way a few nights before so we will retain second spot regardless of what happens throughout the weekend.

Yeah great battling result against a Wolves team who, IMO, deserved to be down to 10 men halfway through the first period. Absolute shocker of a decision from the referee who had te perfect view of a potentially career ending tackle.

Karl Henry is dirty, but he made no attempt to even get close to the ball. I was seething after that tackle.

great to see us winning a game, even though we didnt play particularly well.

finishing was the difference, wolves created enough scoring chances !

See Nige is better than Mancini and Fergie.

bit of a bummer last night getting knocked out the cup by a team we beat 6-1 not long back. Well now that's over until the next season it's time to get on the wagon for an automatic promotion spot!

The performance was incredibly poor, but Huddersfield set up in such a negative fashion it was always going to be one of tight margins.

Hopefully Nige gets in to the players over this weekend off, and the games in hand will be good for us.
