Im still one of the billy fans, don't realy have an opinion about mcclaren as such.
Problem with forest is pretty much the same we had under davies, no left back, we're still playing our best creative winger out of position (cohen), switching one of the best full backs in the league (gunter) to the other flank. It completely screws over our best cutting thrusts.
We need a bright flick up front, finley looks the business, if he proves some consistancy, we've swaped out a fading earnshaw for something better, miller will do something... be intresting to see what maca does with blackstock when he comes back.... billy never got the best out of him.
The only fear i have for forest is pretty much the way we shiped those goals yesterday, chambers and morgan are far from the greatest, davies had them playing waaaay above players they are..
We have nobody else, and mclarens gameplan will never be as solid as davies, thats the big loss.

Yes, no and maybe
Honestly, there's no way forest are gona p___ money up the wall, there's a reason we have a transfer panel.. that being said the players we've gone in for in the last couple of seasons have been unrealistic and for the most part not the positions we've needed to fill anyway. The effect that has is devestating on the team and manager, when all the noise from it means constant sabre rattling from the manager, expectations from the fans and from what we know is desire to be at the top of the pile from the chairman... aka bye bye billy davies.
In other words they all have no chance of getting what they want.
Because of the mess, it's likely mclaren will suffer, with one or more factors being no fault of his own. With davies that didn't matter so much, as said his gameplan was allways something to respect, win or lose.
I predict the guy will walk away, but like a teflon non stick, he won't be the sole man to blame, and he'll be saying it.
Anyhoo, enough forest, bankholiday over

What a weekend to be away, had to read the bbc commentary on my phone 
Didnt a certain poster not a million miles away from here point out that this was likely to happen this season?
"Not a chance" I think the reply was.
I'm posting on my phone, looks like I've quoted the wrong post, not to worry.

Why have you got Nolan in your sig still?
Hahaha! Just subbed off the midfield pair and bought on two other players
Blimey!
Is it max 3 subs? They're stuffed if they get an injury then. They could land themselves in bother over it. But tbf it's a **** rule!
What makes it more ridiculous is the PL just ratified the rule to say managers can field whatever side they like from their 25 man squad.... like it should be. Shame it hasn't filtered down to all competitions.
