Oh shut up Mercer for the love of God ‘license to print money’. At least you’re doing it in a cup game I suppose.

Sharpe says he thinks he’ll be a Rovers player either this month or come the summer. Think it’s a massive gamble personally - I can’t see him suddenly clearing himself of all these injuries.

Forest fans' mood has turned from 50:50 to absolutely delighted - 'had their pants down' seems to be the most favoured description.

Two words. Maceo Rigters.

Weird way of announcing a £7m man - potentially one day our most expensive signing of all time. "Extended his stay".

PNE have done 3 bits of business already. I really hope we won't be leaving it all until the last dance on the 31st. As blabby pointed out, loans with a view are great in principle but let's make sure they are exactly that rather than this Brereton mess that we've got ourselves in.

Later this week according to Sharpe.

Pretty sure he’s a nasty, big German bast@rd?! Looked him up - just shy of 6’4.

Got to be a wind up from either S8 or Nicko?

Love seeing that fat, scouse nut job doing badly. Bloody lovely.

Buzzing for the lad but at the same time angry that it’s taken this long for him to get his chance. I could understand it if the dynamic duo of Smallwood and Evans (particularly the former) were pulling up trees - but they haven’t been. I haven’t even watched him at under 23 level but could tell in his cameos from last season that he had something about him and deserved a fair crack. It’s his shirt to lose now or Mowbray loses face big time.

Did not see that result coming pre match. Don’t care how it came about - the important thing is the huge 3 points. Well done TM and boys.

Poor sub. I think we know what’s coming here. Infuriating to be 2 up and let them back into it.

They’ve come back into it big time by the looks. Barnes has Bennett on toast.

Injured. He’d never completely drop his Del.

I saw that. He needs to dump that bint he’s with - seems no coincidence that his form plummets when she’s on the scene.

Another 5 changes today. Christ we need some consistency in the selection soon, Tony.

We need to win so Graham simply has to start over Brereton. Not a chance of 0-0 Phillip! They score for fun and can’t defend and we...well can’t defend!

In a nutshell. Hadenuffs argument is the same one peddled on social media by 90% of our fans and it just doesn’t hold up as you rightly point out. ‘But we’ve faced all the hard teams’ ‘What do we expect against X?’ ‘I assumed we’d get 0 points anyway’. 1 win in bloody 9 people. Needs to change starting today.

Maybe they’re waiting(hoping) until we win today so they can break it easier?

JHC if that’s the sum of our ambitions then we may as well all pack up and head home. Quality, not quantity as you keep telling us, Tony.

You know what I mean - a team who has just come down from the PL with a load of dosh. Hope the boys come out firing tomorrow - they owe us big time after the past ten matches.

I see some clubs - Sheff Utd and WBA - have already strengthened with loan signings ready for when the window opens tomorrow. You’d bloody hope we’re not far behind in our recruitment given the defensive monstrosities we’ve witnessed this season.

Rodriguez has had his red card overturned so can play tomorrow. Said as a big club in this division that would happen.

Apparently so - their forums say it and SSN. Bizzarre that the FA(?) will leave it so late. I’m sure we haven’t contested Smallwood’s as we haven’t heard anything about it.
