(and he can play up front if we start moving bodies out up top) Shift Boyd as he's struggling to keep up now and will be 34 in October. Shift Hooper. Yep, let Hooper go. Top player, still got the talent, but he's a big wage and he's just never fit. In the last 5 years of being in the championship he's never managed to play even 2/3rds of games. Usually less than half. Will be 32 next season, so that's going to get even worse, not better. Love Hooper, but we have scant resources now, and we can't afford to tie up a big chunk of them in a player who if we're lucky will only play half the games. This summer is a time for tough choices and the right one is to let Hooper move on. matias is too fragile for championship football, he's shockingly 'light' in the tackle, bruce will want forceful midfielders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t help think that in Matias, it’s a case of what might have been. Had he been available, he would have been perfect foil on the left Pace and goals, to complement Reach on the right He has never been consistently available though, and in any case, I think he wants to go back to Portugal i'll start the car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when fit and in their prime we didn’t go up so why now they are giving out werthers originals do we think they will be any better. rid rid rid , and start again . Why would anyone want to release Westwood he's been the major difference in the performance of the back 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Rider Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The reality check is realising how awful Forest were on the night. No wonder their away form is so dismal. No decisions regarding players should use this game as a benchmark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matias and Boyd are blossoming under Bruce, becoming the players we expected unlike under Carlos n jos. They could be like 2 great new signings Between them they've been here 5 years. Apart from last night they've offered very, very little. It's a no from me. Boyd has a good footballing brain but no pace. Matthias has pace, and shiny white teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
