Title: Forest - Start of the Cull
Post by: Whits on Monday, May 9, 2005, 21:34:05
Quote
Nottingham Forest manager Gary Megson has released 12 players and placed another five on the transfer list, as he prepares for life in League One.
Eoin Jess, Jon Olav Helde, Andy Impey, Darryl Powell and Chris Doig are among those who will not get new contracts.

David Johnson, Marlon King, Alan Rogers, Adam Nowland and Kevin James have been made available for transfer.

But John Curtis will be offered a new deal by Megson, who said: "The ethos and ethics of the club have to change."


Eoin Jess, Andy Impey??? bit of expierance there. probably passed their best though

How old is Jess? He's a pretty decent player. Impey as well.

What about Marlon King? He could do a good job for us I reckon.

King and especially Johnson are on big money - We've no chance at all.

Bit wary about a few of those, big problems with a drinking culture at Forest and it sounds like it's not just a few beers on a Saturday night.

What on earth is the point in considering any of Forest's players when the reason they are being off loaded is:

A) They are crap

B) They are on silly money

C) Both

Just wondering.

The sort of Forest players we might consider will be lads who maybe haven't yet appeared in the first team and are being released.....didn't we have one playing in the stiffs recently......maybe someone that Harford has recommended.

Yeah, A young centre back that I've never heard of.

Nothings been mentioned since that reserve game, can only assume that he's not what we're looking for

Watched forest several times this season, impey has looked past it a few times but one good game i have seen him play. Doig probably looks the besta nd within our range and perhaps Powell although he did have a nightmare against local rivals derby and against qpr to be honest (sent off) but looks okay, nothing brilliant though.
Jonno and King already ahve clubs sorted i think and we wouldn't be able to afford them. Plus if we got Jonno you can tell we would play long ball rubbish as he is so small but very fast so can chase the ball..

Jonno?!?  What's this??  Are you not happy with Liverpool and Swindon, now your now calling Forest players by their nicknames, your turning into a bit of a footie club slag Marie.   :wink:

sorry, David Johnson. No one refers to him as David Johnson its DJ or Jonno so i know him as that. Football Slag, well i can officially say your the first person to call me that!!
I dont support them, just been to watch them 4 times this season, my ex works at the club and coaches for them so i know quite abit about them.

Not what i meant, anyway, about the players being discussed:

http://www.ltlf.co.uk/04-05/122_player_ratings.htm

15. Andy Impey
Looked a complete waste of space of the wing, no pace, unwilling to take anyone on and couldn’t cross a road.
Rating: 1/10

16. Chris Doig
Solid enough under Megson, the sort of player he’ll want to keep around for League 1.
Rating: 7/10

5. Darryl Powell
Signed to replace the awful Impey and wasn’t a lot better himself and hopefully will be let go.
Rating: 4/10

 Well firstly it helps if the participants are or have a mental age of between 7-9....... :wink:    then you award points for spotting a Nobby (Norbert Dentressangle) or a Stobie (Eddie Stobart) one type for each player. The scoring system is up to you.

  So it might be for spotting on the other carriageway,  overtaking one of the lorries, being overtaken by one of the lorries....seeing them in services etc.

 Bonus points can be awarded for such as.....the lorry where the drivers falling asleep and weaving across the carriageway....broken down on the hard shouilder....pulled over by Old Bill for speeding.

 In services it might be double spottiing a Dixie flag in the cab.....picking up the bird hitch-hiker etc

  It's probably best if the driver doesn't play....
