Do we need to be more disliked?

Against Sheff Weds we were taught a lesson in how to kill a game. Hoofing the ball into the clouds at every opportunity. Feigning injury, kicking the ball away - general gamesmanship and timewasting

We had another example last night with Palace - though to a lesser extent (and we could be still playing now and would not have scored)

Yet we always try to be gentlemanly and "nice"

Maybe its about time we toughened up - Hull said last year we bullied them when we won at their place - I don't agree we bullied them but we were more physical.
Maybe we need a hatchet man or a "Robbie Savage" type player to get the crowd going and to provide a bit of menace

Most of our players couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding!

    Said exactly this after the Wolves game, Swisdom. Don't think we need a hatchet player, but in the current tough times, the team maybe needs to look more to the likes of Hudson and Bailey for inspiration rather than the perfect gentleman that is Matt Holland.

    Savage is at Brighton isn't he?

    I'm sure we could pay more than them

    According to the Forest fans we did everything we accuse Sheff Wed of doing!
