    what's Lichaj future looking like? Contract renewal? Is Forest going to actually compete for promotion next year?

    Lichaj went 90 in a nil-nil draw at Rotherham. Cause for celebration I expect the way things were going. Can be a stabilizing result to help them stave off the great collapse.

    They're bottom of the table they're not getting promoted next

    They couldn't win or seldom even draw. Very much seem like they have a team psychology and the actions of a few players, positive or negative, has a domino effect on the others. When they're winning they feel especially confident, losing and that bottom drops out. That describes a lot of teams throughout history in the world of sport. They're team streak.

    Here's few more highlights. Eric gets worked by Moussa a few timees but that cross/assist, against Ream nonetheless, was pretty.

    Maybe I missed like one, but I saw zero times that Moussa worked Eric. One time he picked up the ball deep in his defensive half with a head start and Eric was chasing him, that was it. However, the goal was scored over Eric, but the guy climbed all over his back.

    I saw that and 2:04 of the video when he did an ole type of thing to Eric.

    Either way, was just an observation on my part, not a bash on him.

    He can only do that to a fellow yank. Fulham are in the pits. Just thinks they were the Europa cup final not too long ago and Dempsey was 3rd in player of the year voting. Lesson: never take down a statue of Michael.

    that 2010 Final was a fluke. It never happened :cry:

    Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora. Aaron Hughes. Chris Baird come to mind.

    A lot of average players on that squad who Hodgson turned into pretty damn impressive when focusing as a unit.

    The magic of of ol' wodje. The guy has a true gift for team organization. Where he has always failed is knowing when to unleash the hounds.

    A perfect Italian coach, a type that Mike Ashley and Randy Lerner should have hired.

    And give them the keys.

    such a shame JK hasn't acknowledged him at all. if nothing else he'd provide great competition in training with the guys.

    any rebuilding NF plan to do this summer?

    Subbed in on 83' after the other RB, (a very impressive new signing) got injured.

    Saw the first half of the away game at Brighton on tape-delay. Forest lined up in a 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 formation with no start for Eric.

    The new signing Eric was subbed in for last week is a 20-year old called Hildeberto Pereira on a season-long loan from Benfica. He did start as RM in that formation. According to the commentator at last week's game, Eric is "very highly thought of in these parts," which is gratifying and all that, but he's going to have an uphill struggle to oust this Afro-Portugese kid. He's really good.
