Good, thorough chewing over of the issues thrown up by Glasner’s calculated line in his post-match press conferences. The consensus here seems to be that it would be madness to eject Glasner after 9 games. I completely agree. But it’s worrying.

🤯 Shock change of tone from Glasner
👏 Have to back him (until when)
🤔 Has he taken a massive gamble?

Agree on all points. With 4 or 5 more points in the bag you’d accept an away defeat at Brentford and view the game as a decent performance with a couple of streaky goals against. But the biggest concern is; is this a downward trajectory with confidence evaporating?

Some ‘slept on it’ thoughts on the manager situation at #NFFC:

Marinakis has now been in charge at Forest for 9 and a half years.

In that time he’s appointed 10 permanent managers (as well as inheriting Warburton):

Karanka
O’Neill
Lamouchi
Hughton
Cooper
Nuno
Ange
Dyche
Vitor
Glasner

Of the 10, only Lamouchi & Glasner have been what you might call ‘considered’ appointments, ie. Made in the close season, ahead of a pre-season, with (presumably) a longer term plan in mind.

The rest have all been mid-season fixes when the previous ‘plan’ was failing.

So to that end, it would seemingly make sense for the club keep calm for now and look to ride out this current ‘storm’.

I’ve also asked myself the following three questions to try to rationalise how I’m feeling:

1. Do I think if Vitor was still in charge, we’d have more than 6 points from 9 games this season?

Based on the evidence of what we saw last season and what we’ve seen so far this - A pretty strong ‘Yes’.

2. Do I think that if Glasner is still in charge 2 years from now, the club will be in a better place than if Vitor was still in charge 2 years from now?

Based on both managers past track records - Also a fairly convincing ‘Yes’.

3. If we had stuck with Vitor in the summer and had only 6 points from 9, would he be out the door already?

Absolutely.

So the conclusion at this stage, for me anyway, and I imagine most likely from the club too, (for now at least): This short term pain will HOPEFULLY be worth it for a longer term gain.🤞🏻

Why is @jamieoliver using gas hobs for his 20 Minute Meals series. It’s a brilliant series, but burning gas is incredibly toxic in our homes, as we’re discovering, and induction is better, faster, cleaner and easier.

It’s a missed opportunity to show people that induction works

First @forestfocuspod I’ve left before the end. Overly shrill and, for me, not doing that calm job that I value of assessing the game. It was a good - at times very good - performance and 3 points only denied by poor Milenk’s howler. Way too much negativity

😠 Two more points dropped?
😡 Referee shambles
🙏 Got to keep believing
