    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    But many of them, Kudus, Xavi and Gallagher in particular, maybe even Muani and Palhinha, have all had standout seasons prior to joining us. They were good players before we signed them. If his job is to scout them and then secure the transfer, you can’t necessarily blame him for their...

    Yes. IMO they should either be a) promising youngsters battling for a starting role, or b) experienced players with a fixed role. I just don’t think he has the ceiling to consider as “promising” anymore. He is a fine professional who will have a solid career, maybe add to his medal haul, but not...

    I hope you’re right and I’m wrong, but I tend to judge players by comparing their strengths and weaknesses, and while he is decent at a couple things, I just don’t see the area of his game which is going to propel him into a starting XI type of player.

    Who would you want as the new Director of Football?

    Thankfully there is another dumpster fire of a club in Forest who may ultimately help us stay up this season. Just like us, a squad playing far below their potential due to upper management’s decisions.

    Agree, especially with Palhinha stepping into midfield.

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    Fair. Our lack of left-footers is point of concern, but we can get into that after the game.

    You could post that for every game this season

    I agree but also we could play VdV at LB with Danso and Dragusin at CB. Or a back 5 with Tel at LWB. Regardless, all I want to see is a performance full of fight, energy and passion. COYS!!!

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    Fair point and agree the process of identifying Paratici's (and hopefully Langhe's) replacement should already be started. But should we not also have a new manager in mind too who will fit the new DoF's view of how we want to proceed moving forward? The proverbial chicken-and-egg issue if you...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    Agree the answer is a lot more nuanced and we have no way of knowing what the strategic objectives he was given were. It would seem fairly obvious he was directed to focus on up-and-coming talent in the 2024 summer window, when he was not in the DoF role, and it is probably too soon to judge...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    Sure. I had to do some research to make sure I get my facts straight on this but here is a list of players we have signed since he joined... Jan 2024 - Dragusin, Werner (Loan) Summer 2024 - Bergvall, Gray. Odobert Jan 2025 - Kinsky, Danso, Tel (Loan) Summer 2025 - Kudus, Tel, Palhinha (loan)...

    Developing into what type of player exactly? He’s been with us 4(?) seasons now and other than having a lot of energy, I struggle to see what other above-average attributes he has? I can see the upside in Bergvall and Gray but I just don’t ever see Sarr holding down a starting position in a...

    Xavi Simons

    Tbh mate, I really struggle to see what Sarr offers other than running. Not particularly good at defending, keeping possession or creating opportunities. I’ll grant he has a decent eye for goal but not good enough overall for me, especially in our current situation. Palhinha adds that bite and...

    These jokers…

    I think we are suffering from a lack of Academy-trained players in the 1st team squad. Those players who have the club DNA in their blood and fully appreciate `the severity of the moment on a personal level, instead of merely professional ones knowing they can put in a transfer request at the...

    Xavi Simons

    Given the fact we are struggling with creating any kind of scoring chances at all, I would be interested in seeing Xavi play in the midfield three (not the central spot though). We have runners, we don't have passers. Simply put, get your best players on the ball as often as possible. A...

    Tudor just announced Spense will not be available for tomorrow. He's hoping he'll be back for Atl Madrid next week.

    While that is indicative of the PGMOL’s attitude towards us, we may help ourselves by actually getting the ball in the box more often.

    The table below shows we have received the lowest tolerance from refs with the worst fouls:card ratio in the league so far this season. Guess which club receives the most leniency? https://www.statmuse.com/fc/ask?q=premier+league+team+with+most+fouls+per+yellow+card+25/26 So we have had...

    VAR has absolutely ruined the enjoyment of watching the game these days. Players are now flailing around at any form of contact knowing a VAR check may uncover a serious foul. That’s on top of regular 5 minute reviews for “clear and obvious” errors (which cannot then be claimed as neither clear...

    Priority #1 for the summer is to find a new DoF and put Lange back in his Head of Scouting role, in which to be fair he has done an ok job at [ducks for cover].
