Regarding Nottingham Forest Chairman Dalgety's malicious comments in the public media again, although David was really too lazy to argue with him, in order to appease the outraged Notts County fans, he still had to stand up and respond, at least not to let the fans I think Notts County is really not aggressive, and I am afraid of this rival in the same city.
"I wonder where Mr. Daugherty got his confidence?"
When David was interviewed by the "Nottingham Evening News", a local media that is about to become the mouthpiece of Notts County, he first expressed a great deal of doubt with disdain.
"Yes, Notts County is a newly promoted horse, but this does not mean that the strength of the newly promoted horse cannot make a difference in the League One. Isn't the myth of Kaiserslautern enough to explain everything? Or does the FA have a clear According to the regulations, newly promoted horses are not allowed to compete for promotion places?"
"The strength of Notts County should be obvious to all. We are a club with ideals and pursuits. The big investment last season, the Championship of the League Two and the League Cup are not enough to explain everything?"
"It's Nottingham Forest themselves, but I can't see what extraordinary pursuit they have. You know, they only ranked 16th in League One last season, only six points higher than the relegation zone. That's all."
"They have fallen to this point, but they don't want to make progress. As the chairman of the club, they don't focus on how to save the club, but they still have leisure time to take care of the affairs of other clubs. I have to say that there is such a wonderful thing. What a misfortune for Nottingham Forest and the fans, Chairman."
"Look, Nottingham Forest's performance was so poor last season, but they still haven't made any big moves in the new season. It can be seen that they should be very satisfied with their current position. As long as they can keep relegation in League One, otherwise How can there be no transfer investment of a penny?"
"However, I would like to remind Nottingham Forest in good faith. Of course, if you want to understand it as a warning, Notts County is already in the League One. Then you Nottingham Forest should consider the six places leading the relegation zone last season. Is the points still solid? If Nottingham Forest is to be relegated tragically at the end of the season, I wonder if angry fans will tear down your club headquarters!"
In fact, David really doesn't know where Doughty came from. He is good at himself. Any football player with a certain vision, or even a fan who pays a little attention to League One and League Two, would not think that Nottingham Forest and Notts County There is no comparability, but he, the chairman who should have the most professional vision, still can't distinguish the situation.
Do you really think Notts County can do anything about you?
After the interview, David began to study the opponents in the League One in the new season in his heart, not only to measure the success rate of Notts County's impact on the Premier League, but also to see if Nottingham will have the possibility of relegation.
Hours later, David was laughing!
Notts County's strength is guaranteed. Although there are still several competitive opponents, with Notts County's current lineup configuration, as long as it is not unlucky to encounter a large-scale injury wave and the starting lineup cannot be assembled, It shouldn't be too much of a problem to get a spot for direct promotion.
But the situation in Nottingham Forest is not so optimistic!
Originally, the strength of the lineup in League One could only be regarded as below-average. This summer, there is no investment in signings. As long as the main lineup can be retained, relegation should not be a big problem, but the problem now is that due to the bankruptcy of the broadcaster , Nottingham Forest's financial situation suddenly became worse. When Dalgety wanted to rely more on the club's self-sufficiency, it was fine if he had no money to sign up. He also sold several main players in the team. This income is used to repay the loan and balance the finances. In this way, can the team's strength not decline?
Looking at the various clubs in the League One, you can see how dangerous Nottingham Forest is in relegation.
Leicester City and Ipswich City, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, are not badly short of money. The bankruptcy of the League One broadcaster has not affected them for the time being. Although a few main players have left because of the relegation, the overall The framework of the game is still retained, and the new season is also gearing up to prepare for a big fight, making a bloody way out of the League One and returning to the Premier League.
Although Derby County has left some main players, the overall framework is still there.
The strength of these three clubs is definitely higher than that of ordinary League One clubs, even crushing Nottingham Forest. If they want to score points against these three clubs, it is the result of winning the lottery.
Wolves, Millwall and Norwich, the three teams that reached the promotion play-offs, lost in the cruel competition system, but they are still making moves in the new season and plan to make a comeback. Nottingham Forest can contend.
Considering these six clubs alone, Nottingham Forest's hopes of promotion have been shattered.
Looking down from last season's standings, Burnley, Preston, Milton and Crystal Palace, the four clubs that failed to qualify for the play-offs, are also better than Nottingham Forest in terms of team lineup configuration. The regrets of last season have become the driving force for the new season. The gap between those who pursued and those who did not pursue is roughly the same. How can Nottingham Forest, which is not aggressive, compete with this kind of team!
The remaining mid-range teams such as Coventry, Sheringham and Sheffield United have no hope of upgrading and relegation. Perhaps for them, being able to stay in League One is success, but it does not mean that they have no fighting spirit at all. They kept their main line-up and gritted their teeth to improve, and they also hope to play good football to keep the fans happy.
Perhaps Nottingham last season also belonged to this rank, but the gap between one in and one out has come out, and it may be difficult for Nottingham Forest to return to this level in the new season.
Let's talk about the other two newly promoted horses. After being promoted again by the newly promoted horses of England B, Brighton's strategy has not changed. They have been spending a lot of money throughout the summer. The comprehensive upgrade of the lineup may take time. There is little hope of upgrading, but it is also It will definitely not be reduced to the level of relegation.
As for Reading, the Biscuitman's rough style of play doomed them not to be the weakest in any level of the league. Relegation should not be a big problem, and they might even achieve a better result.
The rest is the relegation zone. David directly positioned Nottingham Forest at this level. Grimsby, Coventry and other underdogs are struggling in this area, but David is more optimistic about these teams being able to stay. In League One, because their relegation experience is too rich.
Play well, Nottingham Forest!
If at the end of the season, Notts County is promoted to the Premier League, but your rivals in the same city are relegated to the Second Division, this scene should not be too beautiful!
