At least I enjoyed the hot cheese, bacon and chicken panini from Tesco's across the road from the Ricoh before the match. After that it all went downhill, even the panini :P

No wonder Nolo can't get him to respond. He keeps calling the lad, Frank.

I suspect that Forte has somehow upset KN in training, maybe he doesn't give 100% or say the right things? certainly to our last few managers attitude in training seems to count for more than ability on the pitch hence certain members of the squad keep getting their pick despite constantly under performing in games. I am no great fan of Forte's but when you look at our very limited options he can imo feel hard done by not to get a run along side one of our ageing strikers & to be left off the bench on Saturday surely means the end of him under KN.

If it was anyone else fans would use the fact that so many managers can't be wrong, yet with Forte it has to be something else?

Last season he missed countless chances even in the short playing time Nolan gave him, his finishing is not that great, he's not that quick and he's looked miserable as f*ck since Sheridan left and if we'd signed someone with his record of scoring 68 in 352 games and the ridiculous amount of loans/clubs he's had I hardly think anyone would be that pleased.

You actually said so many managers think Forte isn't good enough to play as a striker, did all of them think that then? I don't think so.

Just play him.

We can safely say after last night that we're more of a goal threat with Forte in the side..hopefully it'll be Ameobi and Forte Saturday.

If Nolans going to persist with 4-4-2 which it looks as though he is..maybe a loan offer for Offrande Zanzala from Derby would be a good move.

If Forte can't get a start on Friday after scoring in successive games Nolan is asking for trouble.
The whole squad, Stead included must know he's worth a start, and nobody likes a boss who has favourites. Whilever we're winning it's fine, but if it turns, Nolan doesn't have the goodwill in the bank which good managers need to get them through sticky patches.
Great win today, Accrington are a bit of a bogey team and going well so it will be a good test. Really looking forward to this already.
