In the summer, most of the squad I think will be out of contract again.

I suspect that certain players have had a right rollicking today. As they’re a mixed group of human beings, some will react in the right way, while others will be looking forward to jumping ship in the next transfer window.
If there was a positive in last night’s performance (other than the ability shown by Sam Osborne), it’s that we’re a bit nearer to knowing who to keep and who to let go in January.
I think Jones did OK last night, would definitely play him in place of Brisley against Bury if we need to use someone out of position as cover for Rob Milsom. Or is it worth throwing someone like Howes in at the deep end and seeing how he fares?
Last night’s performance from the new players shows that this summer’s recruitment really is up with the Moniz madness for the number of average players added to the books.
We have so many poor (out of form and low in confidence) midfielders. Milsoms red card has shown that we lack any sort of appropriate cover. Players had their chance last night and blew it. Vaughan came with the promise of being ‘the best midfielder in League 2’ according to the man who signed him. He so far has been found woefully wanting. He has helped Notts accumalate a total of what 1 point? He was ‘not available’ during the current 5 game unbeaten league run, which tells us all we need to know. Not sure what he is on, but it’s a damn sight more than Smith and he was vilified by some. Has to be moved on in January unless he develops legs that can get him about the pitch 😬
It's nice to see a manager with a backbone to say it as it is.
Not sure why some fans can only conclude a player is cr@p when they aren’t playing well?
Dennis scored 20 goals in a relegation side last season, Vaughan has played at a much higher level and many forest fans were surprised to see him go.
We were all drooling over these signings in the summer, now some are questioning why the hell we signed them.
For whatever reason they don’t seem to be fit or applying themselves. Hopefully Kewell can change that as they have more than enough ability.
I think in Vaughan's case, he was playing with at least one other quality midfielder who did the running, probably two. If you wanted to be more defensive, you could swap Allesandra out for Vaughan and you'd see Vaughan's quality although you'd lose the quality of Allesandra and only really have three attacking players. Vaughan is a bit like an American Football Quarter Back, delivers balls that get goals but needs protection
