    Interesting. Meanwhile Angus reckons he’s fully fit and has been for 5 weeks...

    Its not lying, its being economical with truths and playing down a story for whatever reason and keeping the press off your back. I wish Angus all the best, but lets face it, in the summer he had his deal extended after there had been interest (Norwich I think it was), he was made Captain to pretty much universal approval and was seen by everyone as the first choice centre half. Even the most naïve can see something must have happened. Not that it matters what, but to go from such a high, to either being frozen out, or freezing himself out and just not being anything close to what he was last season, and "not being in contention" something must have happened.

    Best outcome for all I'm sure and hope he gets back on track.

    He should never have got the captain's job - neither should Davies.

    My best memory of Gus is that crazy tackle at Elland Road when he went right through their player, got the ball and didn't even concede a foul. Some whistle happy refs would have carded him for that, not being capable of believing that it was a fair tackle.

    But people were banging on about how much we needed experience. People thought mills would be great. Not fit to lace pinnocks boots let alone Jacksons.

    We did need experience and at the time we needed Mills. Unfortunately he picked up an injury, but that makes his inclusion today all the more baffling because Pinnock was raring to go and probably much fitter at this stage.

    Only seen the highlights but Mills looked shocking. Maybe someone who went/watched the full game can give a better opinion on him.

    Pinnock and Lindsay at centre half against Forest please.

    If your good enough your old enough simple as that. Mills isn't good enough forest didn't want him they was a reason for that.

    Mills was a shocking signing. Not up to Championship level any more. Dreadful today and must not play again this season. Might be good enough for League One, but would prefer Pinnock all day long...

    There’s a reason forest didn’t want him anymore, cos he’s not good enough for them or probably the championship anymore
