The question is where he takes it from here. Does Kim's bullishness portend doubling down on current tactics, or does it mean he will open space for probing new avenues? Time will hopefully tell.

Not my #1 choice, but how many choices do we actually have? Besides, Pereira comes with one of Nuno's initial advantages: linguistic dexterity. If that means he gets across his tactical ideas clearly, as it presumably would, then that's a good start.

This is a natural outcome of Dyche’s inherent conservatism, in my view.

@CallumCastel7 Good luck getting goals out of the shiny new 6ft 7in striker with wingers playing like this.

Manager is continually moaned at for his style of play, which we asked for when we had to go for a third manager of the season, but some of these players are truly dreadful and refuse to take their opportunities

@danscapephoto @forestfocuspod @MattDavies_FF @MattDaviesAdams @petermblackburn @paulmorley19 Most people seem to regard the Man City game as part of the (better) before-times, but that was actually 27 Dec, less than 3 weeks ago. I’m no fan of Dyche, TBH, but that’s recent. Suggests some wrinkles in our analytical frameworks.

Good points on both sides of things. I do share Pete & MDA’s view that the decline in player performances lately seems like a bad sign as Dyche’s coaching takes effect. It felt like the Dyche comments on Friday were the cracks beginning to show a bit. However I did spend my summer wisely trying to establish a ‘Performamce’ rating for games which ignores the result because we all know results bring emotions. Well that performance score, created before this season even started, does backup Paul’s view of the Everton game and it does show the West Ham game was an above average performance for us since 22/23, but a below average game for creating chances. The concerns of Pete are also shown on the chart by the 8 game average which is heading in the wrong direction from the overall average this season.

@danielstorey85 Was against it, too. But Kia J. is good mates with Marinakis, and that relationship is going nowhere. So it is by no means clear to me that Edu going would solve the recruitment problems.

Glad to hear that Edu's future is uncertain at Forest. Was against the hire, against how it impacted the mood at the club, against his dealings and against his performance. A thoroughly avoidable mess - only hope is that it doesn't cause relegation.

@danscapephoto @danielstorey85 Not the only question, is it. Some substitutions and tactics have also been debatable, at best.

@danielstorey85 Raises serious question in Dyche decision making if Sels has been fully fit these last couple of games

It's Saturday 2.04pm and a backup goalkeeper, who for some inexplicable reason has been starting, is in floods of tears after getting injured making a brainless decision to give the opposition a goal. That's quite enough Forest for one weekend.

@danscapephoto Does that answer stand up for MGW/Taiwo? Don't think so. But main point worth making: ↑ training + ↓ rotation among 1st 11 = (probably) a repeat of Nuno drop-off @ end of season. Getting clear of bottom 3 matters more than that, but need to have eyes open.

Has Dyche over-beasted them? Taiwo and now MGW #NFFC

The great Brian Clough was a character, but he wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But these Seven short stories from former players who really knew him should make you laugh. The game today is missing characters like Brian Clough! RIP Cloughie
