That was a truly fabulous video! The sheer amount of time, effort, and research you have obviously put in to produce this video is both remarkable and exemplary at the same time. FINALLY somebody has actually realised that Forest is a truly MASSIVE club! 👏👏👏❤️❤️
That was quality mate, plenty of vloggers make mistakes when going through our history and current situation but you were spot on, almost. You missed out 4 League Cups 😉
I agree. Secure a middle spot in the league, and guarantee that the team is way too good for relegation. The work on the squad to make it a European Giant again.
I agree. And it is great to see this from our fanbase. We ARE allowed to dream of European spots, we have earned it, and it is not crazy silly. But we need our fanbase to stay positive over the next 4 games especially, because 10th will still be happy days :) That being said, I still dream of beating Newcastle and going in to the Arsenal game AHEAD of them.... and then...... it is a season that lets us all dream!
Very nicely put together video, thanks. I'd say the arrival of Milenkovich that seems to have moved us onto the next level - the team as a whole are less jumpy when we defend and we both defend and attack set pieces more solidly with him around.
The only thing that you missed is that the recent signings also mean that CHO and Elanga only have to play 60-70 mins and can therefore go flat out for that period. That is because of the quality of Sosa and Jota who have the quality to come on and replace them without any discernible drop off in quality on the wings. Even though we have two top midfielders injured (Danilo and Sangare) we can still field 2 from 4 excellent midfielders in the twin pivot positions which again means that around the 70min mark we can go again. It is the 16 man strategy that is helping us to so many points and also building a great squad mentality. Probably the only weak spot at the moment is in being able to sub Wood later in the game but Taiwo is getting back to full fitness and beginning to find his touch again so that problem is hopefully temporary too. Will we win the league? Probably not but the days of Forest being the whipping boys is definitely over and if we don’t make it this year expect that Forest will be back in europe next.
The narrative around Forest only being successful in the late 70s and early 80s needs to stop 🤦🏻♂️ Forest were massive throughout the 80s and early/mid 90s. Finishing in the top 8 almost every year and 2nd/3rd a few times. Regularly getting into cup finals and winning the league cup 4 times. If English teams were allowed in Europe in 85-90 then Forest would’ve been even more successful 👍🏻
Very true. That’s why I wanted to highlight their history, they are a club with a rich background and lots of pedigree. More modern fans should know this about them
One myth that needs to be put to bed. Forest did not barely escape relegation last season. They were 6 points clear of Luton due to the deduction (which is still a significant gap in real terms historically) and had amassed a total of 10 points more than Luton overall, the second highest gap in points amassed between relegation and survival in Prem History. However, this is an excellent video and very well researched.
Call it what you want, us forest fans fucking love it ahahahaha. When we play against the 'big' teams we counter very well, against west ham we did well to control the ball when we needed to. Been a forest fan for 27 years now, I am delighted haha.
A lot of people had doubts about Nuno even me, I thought Cooper getting sacked that early was a bit harsh especially given how the manager carousel hasn't worked for forest in the past. But in hindsight Nuno's style perfectly fits the forest team, and I think any team playing forest will have a tough time this season.
As a proud New Zealander, I can't express how much I admire Chris Wood. He consistently gives 100% in every match he plays. Unlike some players who might sit out during international fixtures against smaller nations like Vanuatu, Tahiti, and Samoa, Chris always steps up for the national team without hesitation. I've witnessed his exceptional talent firsthand when he competes against formidable opponents like Mexico and various South American teams during crucial World Cup playoff matches. It's clear that defenders from every nation have to bring their A-game when marking him. This was especially evident in our recent friendly against Australia, where he showcased his skills and determination. Chris Wood truly embodies what it means to represent New Zealand on the football field!
Great review. Context though is that the midfield has moved higher up the pitch because those central defenders are one of the best in the prem right now, that has given massive amounts of confidence in the ability to turn threats into winning positions. Forest’s shot on goal this season is really high. Another point is their mental and physical ability. To play the way Nuno wants them to mean total focus and stamina off the scale, it’s dynamic and exciting to watch.
Best time to support Forest in my 29 years. It wasn't until we reached the Prem I realised how much the elite clubs/press dislike us (not sure why). So this success, even if its fleeting, feels great. Good analysis mate!
As someone who watched Forest home and away in my younger years, during the league one era, loved the thought and research gone into this 👏 Keep in mind Forest have been a counter attacking team since way prior to Nuno.. There are a lot of similarities even now with the playing style of Clough’s side. For me, Yates epitomises that. Most of all though, teams underestimating us. Our victory at Anfield this season has surely stirred up memories for older supporters of both clubs. Great job man.
Finally someone who actually understands our long history & knows our current squad very well, great video very well put together mate 👏🏻 here’s hoping my beloved red dogs can continue to do us proud 🤞🏻🙏🏻
I'd also like to point out that of the 30 signings we made that season only 6 are still with the club. Milenkovic has been the difference maker. Last season we were bringing on ineffective subs in Divock Origi, Gio Reyna and an 18 year old kid. Now everyone in the squad could easily start. Loving it.
Followed Forest since 1969 / 70 season so glad to see them doing so well again and pundits having to eat there words, as for certain big clubs Chelsea, Man Utd & Man City seen them all in the old 2nd Division , infact til the take over of Man City by super rich owners they had years as a club struggling !!! Cmon U Reds !!! N.F.F.C.
I have to admit, Forest are definitely the bigger club out of us two, its obvious when you look at the silverware. We love to hate eachother but i am loving that Forest are shaking up the Prem and appointing Nuno as your manager was absolutely genius!
Nice. I think you could’ve made more mention of the midfielders. Also, there was no mention of our subs or finishers. Nuno has used all 5 sub options in every game. It’s becoming an important game day tactic. Our squad depth allows this. Who our starting XI is becomes irrelevant now that you can refresh half your starting XI.
THE signing was Milenkovic - him and Murillo are awesome. Aina and Sels are in the form of their lives. SO, we are not going to concede more than one goal !!! We might not be scoring too many, but are creating chances galore. Our 3-1 and 3-0 wins v Leicester and West Ham should've been 5-1 and 6-0 - fact. Factor in the signings of Anderson and Jota and our squad is the best it's been for 30 years. Players like Yates and Dominguez seem 50% better than last year. Overall, we are twice as strong as last season and three times better than the year before, when we lost 6-0,4-0,4-0, 3-0, 3-0 - those scorelines will not happen again. Hope we can keep hold of Murillo and MGW next summer - but even if we don't we can put Anderson as out No.10 and Moratto paired with Murillo. Thansk you Mr M for making this happen !!!
I feel the team would not be able to keep up the intensity in the latter stages of the tournament. And also they've had a relatively easier run of games. But i think they might end up in top 8 or top 10.
An easier run of games? We drew with Brighton and Chelsea AND are the only side to beat Liverpool so far this season, all of which were away! We also drew with Bournemouth, who are on a roll this season also. The only blot on our season was losing to Fulham (and possibly only managing to draw with Wolves). We do have a tough run of games between now and the New Year though with Newcastle up next, followed by Arsenal, Man City and Man Utd all away, Villa at home, then Brentford away and Spurs at home on Boxing day.
What nuno has brought to the table WHICH cooper couldn't is how not to lose . Hence where they sit right now , not happened since way back in the 1980s .
“Historically, Nottingham Forest are a massive club.” Nah. Historically Nottingham Forest are a yo-yo club, as likely to be in the second or even third tier as they are in the top flight. They had three seasons of magic under Brian Clough, and another decade or so after that of being one of the better teams, but that’s not “massive”. In the one season they won the old first Division, the only had the seventh-highest attendances, dropping to eighth when they were defending champions and won the Europe Cup. Take away those three awesome seasons, and Forest are a decent-sized club and nothing more. That’s not to denigrate how brilliant they (briefly) were - but a “huge” club shouldn’t immediately shatter if you disregard a single three-year spell.
People think counter attacking and defending as a unit is "evil" per say. They dont understand the organization and discipline behind teams that play more defensive.
Forest were punished. Manchester City have a list of infractions as long as your arm - far more than Forest - or anyone else - and, as yet, have received a total of 'zero' sanctions. Rules for thee, not for me.
That was a truly fabulous video!
The sheer amount of time, effort, and research you have obviously put in to produce this video is both remarkable and exemplary at the same time.
FINALLY somebody has actually realised that Forest is a truly MASSIVE club! 👏👏👏❤️❤️
That was quality mate, plenty of vloggers make mistakes when going through our history and current situation but you were spot on, almost. You missed out 4 League Cups 😉
I'm rooting for y'all , I always choose y'all in my fifa career mode and hope y'all do achieve some big things 😊
@@Umar-iv4iware you from Tennessee or something haha, “ya’ll”
One minor thing, I think it started under Lamouchi
As a Notts Forest fan, this is great :) Fun fact: Nuno was a goalkeeper in his days, and now here, he is helping us
Forest fan of 46 years here, good video man and I'll be happy with 10th this season. Come on you reds l!!!
I agree. Secure a middle spot in the league, and guarantee that the team is way too good for relegation. The work on the squad to make it a European Giant again.
our fat sherif is cooking with some great ingedients good luck from greece and may you get back to europe

@@lukehamilton5142 Forest beat Newcastle last season. Let's hope they do it again 🙏
Im soooo happy. That a UA-cam Channel recognise the success and remember the old times, huge respect. You gain a subscriber!

Love it mate, only thing u missed there was the role the Evangelos Marinakas has played
glad you enjoyed. will keep that in mind for future videos

You should be. It’s a a fantastic style that has made you difficult to beat and on the other end you’re a joy to watch. Wishing your team the best

been a fan since the 70s as a kid. nice video of our history thank you

The ONLY one I've noticed who is underwhelmed by Forest's resurgence is the Crisp salesman who presents MOTD.
I wonder why that is 😂
Good video mate!
We're certainly along way from the Megson days and I'm loving it!
Very motivational. Well done, keep it up dude.
I'm shocked and proud of em at the same time!
Great video mate 👍

There is space for a Chris Wood Forest shirt behind you 😁
My first introduction to football was watching Nottingham forest playing football in the 80’s.
Congratulations forest 🙏🙏🙏 from Nuremburg Germany 👍👍👍 EUROPE WE COME 😎😎😎 ERIC 🤠

Its the “outlaw tactic”, or the “Robinhood” you get lost in the tree’s then we ask for a points donation. Nuno is the prince of thieves mate ✊
Steve Cooper is a good manager. It's a shame that media disrespects him.
Great move for Chris Wood to change playing position....from being goalkeeper to a striker ....Make Forest Great Again
I have to admit, Forest are definitely the bigger club out of us two, its obvious when you look at the silverware.
We love to hate eachother but i am loving that Forest are shaking up the Prem and appointing Nuno as your manager was absolutely genius!
You know what you're talking about. Entertaining too.

Been a fan of forest since 1956 amazing 2:30
now then young man

Nuno has made Nottingham play like prime Wolverhampton did, and I'm jealous as a Wolves fan watching us scrounging at the bottom of the table
Great video not sure about the "Evil" thumbnail plays into all though

Maybe nottingham forest are going to be the new 24/25 premier league underdogs
They’re the 23/34 girona of the premier league
we ain't girona we have history no disrespect to girona
What nuno has brought to the table WHICH cooper couldn't is how not to lose .
Hence where they sit right now , not happened since way back in the 1980s .
Had my doubts about Nunez? Now I'll continue eating my humble pie, Long may it continue!
Didn’t sign Sangare till our second season in the prem
tricky trees

Great video, watched it all but what exactly is “evil”?😂
People think counter attacking and defending as a unit is "evil" per say. They dont understand the organization and discipline behind teams that play more defensive.
4-3-3 formation actually
Ucl return ?? Nothingham forest 0:33
Why does that shirt say rinaldinho😂
Pronounced Cluff but yeah, good video
👍
Only club to win the FA Cup with 9 men on the pitch
There also convicted FFP cheats
Fuck me. derby has the internet
Forest were punished.

Rules for thee, not for me.
@gibson617ajg both cheats
Hahaha...a Derby supporter I suppose 😂
@unknowpeople1614 na football fan that hates cheats
But then, they met Newcastle 😂
Lol there a tiny club they will be bottom half in 5 more games they are cheaters hence the points deduction last year 😂😂😂
Spot the derby fan.
I seem to remember that pratts like you were saying the same about Leicester in 2015/16.
There a tiny club? Who taught you to spell...
I see no one taught you spelling or punctuation.
Cry some more.
