Forest had been out the PL longer than us. Can’t think of anyone else who rivals us for time in the wilderness. All depends how far you go back. Sure some statistician will know the answer (even if it spoils the point you're trying to make). UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite telling of his mentality perhaps, but it's the most professional thing to do in the circumstances. It’s the fact he took one against us though. If you can’t handle a shoot out for us, don’t be a nobblehobbit and take one against us. He was one of the best finishers at the club. Even if he’s not confident, he would still have a better than fair chance of scoring. It’s not like he hadn’t taken a fair few in his time and he literally practices kicking a ball everyday.

SwellOwl Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Great to see a proper club like Forest back in the top tier. Hope they stay up as be great for the city. I just hope we can get our act together and have that moment one day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracksuit Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I’m not that fussed either way but it would have stuck in my throat a bit if Rhodes & Lees (to a lesser extent) were in a play off winning side 12 months after helping us limp to relegation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Well done Forest , good to see a club of their standing get back to the big time. As for people's comments about Jordan Rhodes, i have no issues with him but DC squandering millions on him in the first place when he wasn't needed has greatly contributed to the subsequent financial mess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, Rhodes wasn't feeling confident in that moment and rather than offering to take a penalty, he let his manager know so that more confident players could take them. I'd rather have a striker who was confident enough to step up in a penalty shootout of course, but he can't change the way he felt in that moment. Given that fact, I'd much rather he tell the truth in the best interests of the team. Clearly you disagree, which is fair enough. There seems little point in going round in circles over something which happened half a decade ago, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 1 hour ago, Daz said: I think neither team were impressive and on the recent times I've seen Forest, they have a huge build job just to survive. Commentators going overboard that Huddersfield should have had 2 penalties but I don't think either were.. they are sometimes given, sometimes not.. but I was not convinced on either. Pleased that Forest went up after 23 years. We've got to make sure it's our time very soon - it's been far too long. I'm not sure when we'll see the Champioship again, let alone the PL. If we're still in this division 12 months hence it wouldn't surprise me one jot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humans are complex creatures. Look I get that that could be the case…. but it’s also the fact that the penalty that he did pass on the opportunity to take happened to be against Huddersfield. Who he has played for previously and then went back to play for. He then had no qualms at all about taking a penalty for them against us. I get it could be a mental health thing or a serious lack of self belief, which probably amounts to a similar thing.. but it doesn’t look great does it ! I mean you could be forgiven for smelling a rat in this instance, surely ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
