cms186 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 hes not wrong though, hes incredibly inconsistent ( i think his only consistent good run of form at forest came after hed been benched for a couple of games ), unfit and injury prone.

sebs Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 of course it's possible. however having watched the two derbies we played against the sheep last season he was dreadful in both matches. he scored admittedly in the 5-2 match, but really was a total passenger. what g-man says is true also. he is someone who ups his game when he's got a contract renewal coming up. magic moments but he's one of those players where you like him as a luxury player but you need 10 other players who work their socks off to carry him.

TigerChris Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Robbie Brady has extended his loan. As i've just said on Twitter, i can't quite make my mind up on if i'm happy about it or not. He has potential, but he needs to keep his cool more. We can't afford to have him getting himself sent off in the run-in. If he gets his head down, having him and Stewart on opposite wings, could be lethal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still responsible for the greatest headline I've seen on a newspaper report though, which was 'Gills Sunk by German Sub', when he sent Gillingham down with a 25 yard volley.. actually (and you may know this) that headline was a rip off of a headline from 1979 when forest drew 3-3 at home with fc cologne in the european cup semi-final. forest had gone 2-0 down early on on an absolute mudbath of a pitch, forest came back to lead 3-2 and then cologne brought on a japanese international who proceeded to score an equaliser, the headline the next day was "jap sub sinks forest". wouldn't see a headline like that nowadays. here are the highlights from that match, it is an absolute cracking match, well worth watching the whole half hour!! van gool is a fantastic player (cologne were favourites, forest won the replay at their place 1-0, got through to the final, the rest is history) [video=youtube;4n5MYKkFC4s] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think we'd be able to get him, because I assumed he would want to play a higher level than the Championship. Not because I thought he would get into the ££Man City££ team... He must have something about him to come up throught the City Youth Set Up, so spend a couple of seasons out on loan in the Championship to develop furteher and then maybe go on loan to a Premier League side... like Nedum Onuoha to Sunderland etc. So I am chuffed we managed to sign him on permanently.

Barkermush Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I read the same story, about it being around that mark £400k ish. Which is a massive bargain if true.

Barkermush Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 yh, thats a good p[rice, did he have a long contract at city? would be interesting to see if we could get cunningham off them Not sure, just been trying to find out. I think he had about 2/3 years at Man City, but that's just a guess so I could be wrong. I did find out abit more about the transfer deal on a Man City forum.. 400k plus add ons apparently. I'm quite surprised to be honest, I thought they might loan him out until the end of this season and then bring him back next season. Always seemed to look very comfortably on the ball and still relatively young.Good luck to him. ------------------------------------------ bluebannana wrote: 'wish he was given a chance would have been a great player for us' Ahead of Micah and Zabs ?

G-Man11 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 We've only managed 3 first half goals at home all season (1 away). McSheffrey has scored all 3 of his goals in the first half at home, only player in our team who can score at the Jewson end it seems. Also that Polish chap really is a terrible keeper, clearly wasn't just a one off against Blackpool. Could see the entire defence had no faith in him and it really lead to a very nervy first half display from Southampton, luckily for them we had O'Donovan (back from injury ) and McSheffrey up front. If Jukebox was fit we'd probably have won that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
