Forest [H] Pre Match Thread.

[Pliskin]

Hopefully we win. But are shit and a forest score three own goals…. That way we get three points and he might get sacked. 

[volpeazzurro]

The very sad thing is that this should be one of the highlight matches of the season due to the rivalry etc, a real humdinger of tension and passion after years of being in different divisions.

 

Instead, I personally can hardly be bothered to go and my only real motivation is that I want to see Rodgers get an extremely hard and embarrassing time, the sort of bad reception that gets highlighted in the sports news and match of the day. The last thing I want, and it's wrong, is a resounding win and a load of gumph about the team turning the corner. 

 

I have never wanted a Leicester City manager sacked so much yet I don't think Top has the balls for it.

Re. Steve Cooper: I can’t figure it out. Is he:

 

A) A superb manager who has been strong-armed into signing 40 shìt players by his mentalist owner and/or various other clowns at the club?

or

B) Actually just a terrible manager, but probably still a good coach?

or

C) An absolute chancer?

Lindgard ain’t shit he’s a good player. Morgan Gibbs White is a good player. Not sure who the others are they’ve signed. Henderson is a good keeper. I’d like to see a list of their signings their fees and where they signed from though 😂 it is a bit of a circus there.

It’s a looooooong list. You’d better put aside some time.

Yeah it’s unbelievable to be fair. Spreadsheet 😂??!!

[suffolk fox]

Cant fathom some posters on here who want us to lose against this lot, in order or hope that Rogers gets the sack.  With our awful start if Top was going to fire Rogers it would have been done by now.

 

How about this get behind the team and pray we can turn the corner starting with a win against Forest.

I think mostly A, possibly a bit of B but not a terrible manager but whether premier league ready more to the point. I’m not sure manager managers could make a success of that player turnover though. Would have him here over the poison one.

[HitchinFox]

I think this is the game we'll start turning the corner.

I wanted Rodgers to go after the Spurs game. But he's still here. If Top and his family – who've given us everything that we've experienced over the past decade  –back him, then so do I. Despite what I really think of him and his coaching team. 

I'm desperately hoping we turn up – I mean REALLY turn up – and batter them, get some confidence and then start slowly climbing the table. 

I'd take 13-15th and a proper rebuild next summer, with or without Rodgers.  

[Devonfox1884]

You do feel that this is a season-defining game. Odd thing being that a win probably does us more harm than good  

 

How has it come to this ffs.

[Matt_Lcfc]

Would absolutely love the players to come out with some serious fight on Monday. Starting this game well is imperative, get in their faces, fight for every second ball and even put in a dodgy challenge. It would really go a long way in getting the fans behind the eleven.

 

I want Rodgers gone, and to be honest, I’ve been 50/50 on whether I wanted us to win certain games this season, but I’m desperate for us to beat this lot. Regardless of my views, nothing would make me happier than seeing us beat these and send them packing.

 

I will be fuming if the players can’t get up for this. I really hope that they understand the enormity of this match, and what it means to the supporters.

Can't understand the 'I can't be bothered to attend stuff'. I'm there on Monday night, shouting my head off, more than ever. 

Got to get behind the team for this one, regardless of the manager situation.

Brendan Rodgers Pre-Match Press Conference vs Notts Forest

 

Injuries?

“We had Ndidi come back early but he should be fine. Dennis has been struggling but has come through the last few days well. So I think we’re ok.”

 

Good timing for international break?

"It definitely broke the cycle we were on, with the tough start. It also gave us a chance to reflect on the performance. Despite the scoreline there was lots that was good in the game. If we can organise a little better we believe we can push on.”

 

Corners?

“We can’t deny we were disappointed with the two corners. Like James said, we do a lot of work and analysis on that.”

 

Spoken to owners?

“No, I haven’t. The ownership trust me and expect that I will turn it around. If they don’t they will tell me. We speak when Top’s over."

 

Reflect on torrid time v Spurs?

“It was towards the end of the game, but for 73 minutes I enjoyed watching us competing against a really good team. We looked creative, which is what I would expect. The final 15 minutes is what we analysed to see where we could be better. There was no lack of energy. We got punished. The players have worked well, those that have been here. It’s been great to get them all back in together. The game being on Monday gives extra time.”

 

Noise around job?

“Believe it or not, it’s easy. I’ve been managing for a number of years so you learn to regulate the noise. If you’re bottom of the league, you’re not going to be flavour of the month. I love working with these players, I believe we will come good and get into a good position. I see these players work and that gives me strength. I also know I’m the best person to lead this team forward and that’s something I think we will do in the coming weeks.”

[moore_94]

At least Jason Bourne likes to actually question him about some of the rubbish he comes out with

...the majority seemed like quality players to me, we would have been quite happy to have had half of the players they picked up!!!

  I cannot see the sense in bringing in so many at one time, this would have been a call made from above, as no manager seeks to put themselves in a situation where they have no idea about who they are coaching and if they are a good fit for their club.

I doubt he's had a say in signings. That spending spree is almost certainly down the the mad chairman

Leicester boys are we, 

Proud of our City, 

We always back the lads, 

Through the good and the bad... 

[LVFox]

Don’t know why, but I’m really confident for this. I think Forest are shit and we can really get at them.

 

Would love to see:

 

                      Iversen

              Faes Evans Soyuncu

Castagne    Youri    Wilf        Justin

            Kelechi      Madders

Unless it's the 38th minute then I'm going down to the concourse with all the other's as 45 mins is too long to wait to spend my money on overpriced muck.

I would rather eat shit than lose to those tree shagging fvcktards - I fvcking loathe the cvnts 

 

still want Todgers out but NOT at the expense of losing to the scum 

[ARM1968]

IF WE CAN ORGANISE A LITTLE BETTER?

 

Isn’t that your fooking job Brendan?  You’ve been here long enough. Surely having things organised should not be an issue. The issue is, you’re a sad little muppet blagging a living. Be gone foul spirit.

Cannot wait to watch this in central Nottingham with a bunch of forest folk I for some reason call 'friends' 

[ian__marshall]

You just know it's going to be one of those horrible nights where it's hammering it down with rain and you get soaked on the way to the ground. It'll be freezing cold, the atmosphere will be toxic, and we'll concede a couple of soft goals. We'll have to listen to the scum goading us all night whilst we go 6 points behind them lot prompting all manner of childish abuse on social media. You'll then get soaked on the way back to the car only to switch on the radio and have to listen to the drivel that comes out of the Hobbit's mouth, before returning home to read an article from John Percy claiming that the board still have faith and he's been given until the end of the season to turn things around. 

 

Quite frankly I can't wait...

I'm sorry but anything less than a convincing victory is a failing for me. 

 

It's the first top flight game against Forest for decades, a Monday night under the lights, whole world watching, huge rivalry. Bottom of the league and in dire need of not just points but performances, and attacking football. 

 

If Rodgers cannot rally the team, and get them fighting for every ball, screaming at each other with passion with every mistake then he should be managing in the Isthmian League.
