Forest v Fulham

Pure gold quote

Did Baldock score more goals than asombalonga last season ?

 

[shaunslats]

while NSC has quite a bit of doom and gloom due to recent poor results just remember... thank feck we arent fulham... excluding the huge parachute payments

Nice hat trick for Assombalonga gives me a load of points in my fantasy team.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Having seen the goals on Sky, I'd say that Forest benefited from a couple of home decisions by the referee. The penalty looked especially dodgy. Dan Burn's tackle seemed to take the ball cleanly.

Assombalonga!! Another gem from the Posh production line. Incredible.

Posh paid £1.5 million for him, so not quite the undiscovered bargain in the sense that some of their other strikers have been. But I know where you're coming from....

They're going great guns currently. I will be very interested to see what happens when they lose a couple, as they inevitably will do at some stage. Pearce is riding the crest of a wave at the moment, and they're all jumping on, due to his status as a Forest legend. They started last season pretty sharply under Billy Davies too, I think, but could never arrest the slump when it came later. I wonder how Pearce will deal with a defeat or two.

Perhaps Assombalonga is the main difference: they really struggled for goals last season (hilariously, given their policy of signing every available striker in the Football League).

Yes...there seems to be this idea that Posh have a conveyor belt of talent coming through. They scour the lower leagues for potential and then move them on for a profit. I assume that Mr Fry plays a big part in the spotting of these strikers ( as a former one himself )

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Forest and Norwich going to DESTROY this league.

I think Derby and Watford will have a big say in it as well.

 

[nwgull]

What do you expect with a game between 1 team who have parachute payments and 1 who says F..K ffp

I don't know; what do you expect?

 

[BBassic]

I'll be amazed if Derby don't go up this year. They were quality in all four of our games with them last year and were unlucky to get beaten by Scrotum Face and his Mercenary Gang.

They managed to keep hold of, I think, all of their top performers from last season as well.

I'm expecting Derby to fill one of the top two places.

Not sure that anyone thinks it's a 'conveyor belt' of Posh cooked up talent, but their scouting must be the envy of many because while everyone else is hoovering up average shite for millions of pounds, they identify relatively cheap talent with great potential.

It does beg the question, why did Watford let him go!

Once you add in the reportedly MASSIVE sell-on that Watford were due, Posh effectively paid a LOT more than £1.5m for him. In total I'm sure Watford recieved more in total from the two moves than Peterborough did.

 

[Icy Gull]

I expect Fulham to finish above us. Once they click either with or without a new manager I think they'll fly up the table.

 

[Paris]

I guess they didn't have room for him in the team with the likes of Vydra and Deeney, who were doing the business a season or two ago. Posh offered them a tempting amount...

This result shows that Forest do concede goals so there is hope for us with CMS and Baldock if they click.
