I've just Googled him and it appears he's still without a club, which is odd for someone who has played at a high level. There were odd comments when he left - so I don't know what's going on with him.<br /><br />Thanks again.Forest Boffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214976784951024728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884362886076937118.post-70721370345191429542014-09-10T13:49:08.787+01:002014-09-10T13:49:08.787+01:00Very nice article indeed.

He's got his uses.<br /><br />I think Reid is the star @ Forest, and not just because of his skills. He's got real passion and is the real team captain IMO, and I hear more and more about him supporting the players off the pitch, like this instance.

Your points about those players are valid - I couldn't see any of those players commanding a regular place.<br /><br />I'd love to do an article on this subject, but what I'm all about is trying to show evidence to highlight what appears to be going on - I can't think of an accurate way to do this - any ideas?<br /><br />Thanks (and thanks haha) glad every time someone likes the ramblings.Forest Boffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214976784951024728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884362886076937118.post-51386487635172539902014-02-08T05:29:07.116+00:002014-02-08T05:29:07.116+00:00I couldn't agree with your first paragraph mor...I couldn't agree with your first paragraph more - Forest has been one of the things that's kept me going at times.<br /><br />I actually watched the Preston game (2nd) in the pub - Moussi wasn't very good on the ball and all the Sky TV fans were having a right laugh at him - especially the Man U and Liverpoo mob who've never seen a real life football pitch, (We live in Mansfield FFS why do you follow Man U?!? I wonder...). Interesting analogy with Raddy - I think a lot of people miss the little things personally - the minute to minute contribution that is what the majority of football is all about. Both make that contribution.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment!Forest Boffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214976784951024728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884362886076937118.post-90738549046258873062014-02-05T14:01:40.891+00:002014-02-05T14:01:40.891+00:00Really happy for Moussi, long may it continue.

In 2009/10 Tyson and Anderson were semi regulars and two of our best players: Moussi and Blackstock, were sorely missed when they were injured. Now neither of them can get near a regular game with Forest (Moussi has played the last few). What do you think??

I feel that some attendees like to use football games to exert some of their own personal desperation and pain. I, on the other other hand, see Forest as pure escapism - when the whistle blows, nothing else matters for a couple of hours. I find it very enjoyable and love supporting the team in a positive manner. <br /><br />Guy Moussi is clearly an exceptionally strong character. Some supporters don't understand the meaning of heart. The ones berating his lack of technical ability are probably the same people that berate Raddy for his 'lack of end product'. It's a mass of contradiction, and indicates that the problem lies with the supporter.<br /><br />Let's hope we can get 3 points today.

It does say a lot about him. We've learned something new about Moussi in that game and I'm much more inclined to see him in a Forest shirt.<br /><br />It's similar to the stick Smith was getting - unfortunately Smith couldn't handle it as well (which is no criticism of him, because he shouldn't have to). I remember ironic cheers when OUR keeper caught the ball, basically our own fans sabotaging our keepers confidence.<br /><br />I liken it to when you're watching your kid learn something. You want them to do well and get it right in the end, so what do you do? You encourage them, and build up their confidence enough for them to try again - forget whether it's the right, kind thing to do; it's logical. It's the same with footballers - if you actually want them to do well, the last thing you logically ought to be doing is putting pressure on them or knocking their confidence. It's so thoughtless.<br /><br />Thanks for reading JohnForest Boffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214976784951024728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884362886076937118.post-76937932758755553432014-02-01T12:05:03.101+00:002014-02-01T12:05:03.101+00:00Thanks for taking the time to read, and reply Davi...Thanks for taking the time to read, and reply David.Forest Boffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214976784951024728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884362886076937118.post-8380813791006147242014-02-01T10:28:07.420+00:002014-02-01T10:28:07.420+00:00Thank you for that piece.

After Andy Reid had said that he deserved the MoM award Moussi wrote on Twitter " Thanks Andy Reid to say that I deserved it!

Moussi last night impressed me; and not necessarily for how he played, it was his reaction to the crowd. Really drove on through adversity. Brilliant.<br /><br />I can help with the second goal: Angella was being marked by Lascelles, but cleverly just stood in the bunch of players. I might be right in thinking Watford timed their free-kick specifically for the moment he started his run - ie when he got free of Lascelles, who couldn't follow him because there was a bunch of players blocking his path. In the end JL was nowhere near him, very astute use of movement by Angella - the second time he'd 'done' Lascelles. If you get chance watch it, it's very interesting to see what he does. Much more to it than just not being picked up by a marker.Forest Boffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214976784951024728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884362886076937118.post-42940090178427039492014-01-31T19:23:39.392+00:002014-01-31T19:23:39.392+00:00Either you sit very close to me in the Trent End o...Either you sit very close to me in the Trent End of the kind of rubbish and abuse that was directed at some of our players last night is more widespread than I thought. <br />What I particularly liked about Moussi last night was his personal celebration on setting up the first goal: no larging it in front of the fans but a personal fist pump as if to say to himself, 'I KNOW I am a decent player.' Great attitude. <br />Another word for Dan Harding too: he was always willing to get forward and it bears repeating that it must be difficult to play behind Abdoun who on occasions went missing and did his usual running around in circles and into trouble. Not his best performance. <br />On a rather more negative note, what the heck happened with the marking for their second goal? I suspect Lascelles last his man but as you say, he is still learning and it is interesting to see that Collins again gets the stick even though he was solid.
