Yeah, that's true, although you can't really say that about Apkom last season. I find Azaz frustrating to watch at the moment because you can see he has ability on the ball and a good footballing brain but things just aren't quite coming off for him, but hopefully over time they will and he...

Yeah, I found it a bit odd that Carrick was playing him out on the left initially - he's looked much better playing centrally. There are real signs there that he's building a good understanding with Lath. It was Azaz's quick thinking to play the first time through ball to Lath which led to the...

That gives me encouragement to think he may be willing to take a decent sized pay cut then, in order to stay here and play games.

I don't think we'd be signing him to be an upgrade on Howson in all fairness, it would be to either compete with Hackney, or replace him if Hackney does end up leaving.

Was thinking it might depend on how big of a loss Forest are prepared to take on him - they bought him for £8m so us signing him for £2m would represent a significant loss, but again it will depend on how desperate they'll be to offload him.

A lot of it will depend on how desperate he is to play regular games of football. Is he one of these types who's happy to sit on the bench, or not even make match squads and still pick up his high wages for two years? Realistically I can't see a host of other Championship clubs coming in for...

They might choose to offload the high earners who don't have that Championship experience. O'Brien has proven himself at this level and that may influence their thinking. Smallbone had seemingly been classed as being surplus to requirements by Southampton when they were in the Premier League...

I'd like to have him back but I think a lot of it will depend on whether Forest stay up. If they stay up they'll be desperate to offload him, but I think they'll regard him as being a useful player to have if they go down. I wouldn't offer any more than £4m for him. I think that would be a...

I think we can challenge for automatic promotion next season, but keeping VDB, Hackney and Lath will be key. I feel we need quality over quantity this summer. Use the budget to bring in players who we feel are going to be good enough for the first-team - the likes of Fry, Bangura, Engel...

Yeah, I think some are getting a bit carried away in regards to Bangura. He has looked decent going forward but I'm still unsure on whether he's going to be good enough defensively. Personally I'd be looking to loan Engel out next season (with the option of recalling him if we have another...

I think he'd appeared at some sports dinner recently, so I had an idea it was going to be him when the announcer said a special guest is here tonight. I do agree though the club could have advertised it via social media.

I think we'd all have been a bit taken aback if he'd walked out and he had long blonde hair to be fair.

I don't think it's been mentioned on here but what a great moment it was when Maccarone took to the pitch before kick-off last night. I felt emotional hearing Ali's commentary when those two goals he scored in the UEFA cup games were shown.

Yeah I'd only be looking to bring him back here on loan, so that we only have to pay a certain percentage of his wages. As I said, a lot of it will depend on whether Forest stay up and whether they'll be desperate to get him off their books. I can't see any other Championship clubs being...

If we did bring him back on loan I'd expect him to be back-up for Hackney - I'd like to think our midfield pairing will be Hackney playing alongside a new defensive mid next season. Having Howson and O'Brien as cover would give us real strength in depth in that area (I'd look to sell Barlaser)...

I was surprised Carrick started him to be honest, especially knowing he'd be up against arguably the best winger in the Championship. Personally think we should have gone with wing-backs, or had VDB RB and played Howson CB alongside Clarke.

Sign Ayling on a permanent deal and try to get O'Brien back on loan. If Forest stay up they'll see him as being surplus to requirements and will just want him off their books for another season.

Muted celebration from him tonight after he'd scored but he celebrated as though he'd just scored the winning goal in the fa cup final when he scored against us at Elland Road a few seasons back, despite the fact we'd helped to revitalise his career following his nightmare stint at Burnley. He...

Two goals tonight but what impressed me most was the shift he put in for the team. I loved how he kept coming deep to receive the ball with his back to goal and then brought others into play. I get that we're always going to be a selling club whilst we're in the Championship but I think the...

I'd thought at the time the pressure had gotten to him, especially after he'd missed the previous 3 he'd taken.
