After the draw at home to Manchester United, Nottingham Forest's boy scouts were greatly inspired, and in the following games, they used their actions to slap those doubters.

On September 27, in the eighth round, Newcastle defeated Newcastle 1-0 away.

On October 3, in the ninth round, the home team won 2:0 against last season's big dark Maher City.

On October 17, in the tenth round, they defeated Portsmouth 2:1 at home.

On October 25, in the eleventh round, Manchester City drew 3:3 away.

Starting with the fourth round of the league on August 30, Tony. Donn's Boy Scouts are unbeaten in eight consecutive rounds. The ranking also jumped from the second to the last to the seventh.

For a time, the Premier League slap was endless.

Now except for Carl. Spike is as unoptimistic as ever, except for Nottingham Forest, everyone else has already relented.

The performance of several first-year students was also recognized by the public.

Chris. Cohen has not been famous, but his key performances so far this season have brought the team at least seven league points. He's one of those non-star players who doesn't shine on the football pitch and doesn't get too much attention, but he's very practical. Compared to Mock, who was relegated to the reserves, his talent is not outstanding, his speed is not fast, and his passing is average, but he is more well-rounded. He is also well-rounded and can play left midfielder or central midfield, and he has a good set of passes and crosses. is also very honest, Don does whatever he says, whether he is a substitute or outside the squad, he never complains.

Chris. Cummons has been sold by Donn for £2 million and now only Petrov and Cohen are left wing-backs. Petrov is ageing and Cohen could be a consistent member of the Forest squad for years to come. He will be a little luckier than Cummons, as the Forest team may not be able to spend much transfer money on those established stars in the coming years, so he will get more appearances. It's not like Cammons can only play in the League Cup, FA Cup and some garbage time.

Cohen's performance has also attracted the attention of some people, and before the league is even halfway through, there are already rumors that so-and-so club is interested in Cohen. A wide player who is willing to chase back the defense and has a precise cross is indeed a favorite object for many teams.

Victor. Moses has also been impressive, playing 340 minutes so far, scoring two goals and providing three assists. That's a passing result for an eighteen-year-old Premier League first-year.

And it's only been half a season, as long as Don continues to give him a chance, I believe he will continue to repay Donn.

He embodies the qualities of a player of African descent and the only problem now is inconsistency. His two goals and three assists were concentrated in three games. However, inconsistency is not a disadvantage of young players, it is normal. All Don had to do was give him patience and encouragement, Niklas. Milan also played a lot of minutes as a striker, because he could play as a wing-back in addition to being a striker, and the technical characteristics of the South American players were on full display in him. Technically delicate, he is a different kind of scenery in the Premier League. His pace and skill ensure that he can weave his way through the Premier League's tall defenders, and one of the most obvious advantages of doing so is that he can always get set-pieces up front for his team and then Gareth. Bell has room to play.

Of course, he also gained some bad reputation for himself by doing so, such as "Chilean who does not fall" and "fake thrower". Every time an opponent and the media criticize Milan like this, Donn will scold those people in front of him in his column or in interviews with other media - "If the referee says that it is a foul, it is a foul, if you are not convinced, please question the referee's penalty standard, and don't talk about my players!" ”

Milan have only scored a goal so far, but his skills have really enriched Forest's attacking routine.

His biggest problem now is that his body is a little thin. Although it is possible to make set-pieces for the team. But no coach wants his striker to play for the sole purpose of winning free-kicks and penalties for himself. If he wants to develop more, he should work hard to improve his confrontation ability. In the Premier League, if you are not physically strong enough, no matter how good your skills are, you can't get mixed up.

Nonetheless, Niklas. Milan's performance has already deserved the title of "Talented Boy". In Chile, his fame grew. Because of him, many Chileans have become Nottingham Forest fans, and every time there is a Nottingham Forest game, they look forward to Tony. Coach Donn can send this "gem" of theirs.

Of all the first-graders, only Joe. Mattok played the least amount of minutes. Of course, it wasn't that Don meant to be different. It's really a very important position in the backline, and the original configuration can't be easily changed. Giving young people a chance is something that is only considered when there is a real shortage of people at the back.

Worried about what Mattok would think, Donn went to talk to him a few days and told him that the current situation in the team is that the back line must be stable and the attacking line can play freely. So as a defender, Joe. It is true that Mattok has played fewer times than several of his other first-year teammates.

But Donn assured Mattok that he was still in his plans. It's just that he wants Mattok to try a few more positions, such as centre-back and right-back.

At Forest, players who can play in multiple positions at the same time have a slight advantage over players who specialize in one position.

Joe. Mattok accepted Donne's advice and struggled to adapt to the right-back position.

The reason he worked so hard was because he told himself everything he saw at Nottingham Forest. Donn is indeed a manager to be entrusted with in the future, Pierce has not deceived himself, and Nottingham Forest are the best team for him at the moment.

※※※ Although it is unbeaten in eight rounds, it does not mean that the league is smooth sailing.

In the next round of the 12th league game, Nottingham Forest travels to Arsenal.

The match was considered by some English media to be a "contest between young people". In the end, Arsenal came out on top, beating Nottingham Forest 3-2 with a home advantage. Ended Forest's eight-game unbeaten run.

In this game, Jack, who scored one goal and assisted two goals. Wilshere was named Man of the Match, and the 17-year-old genius almost overshadowed the entire Nottingham Forest squad by himself. The commentator kept chanting his name as if he had become a Wilshere fan. Every time he got the ball, he drew thunderous cheers from the Emirates Stadium.

In the game, he even overtook captain Cesc Fabregas.

Shahin, John. Bostok, Niklas. Milan and Cohen, as well as Victor who came off the bench later. Moses was nothing to mention in front of Wilshere's performance.

"He's a real genius!"

"Jack is born! Capello sat in the box at the Emirates Stadium and must have remembered all of Wilshere's performances. Maybe we'll see the name of the 17-year-old in the next England training camp......"

"He's another gem that Arsenal has given us!"

"When Theo Walcott was still on the bench, we could already start dreaming of the day when Wilshere would be the leader of the Premier League in England!"

…… After the game, all sorts of compliments flew to Jack. Wilshere, although this is not his first season in the Premier League, has made a name for himself as if he was playing against Nottingham Forest when he was voted Player of the Match in this game.

What a fitting stage for this game in the minds of Arsenal fans – Nottingham Forest, who have been on the run rampant in recent years, have become Wilshere's backdrop alone, and they are really the best opponents.

But Donn disagrees on this.

In an interview the day after the game, a reporter asked him to comment on Wilshere, who was active in yesterday's game. He laughed and said, "I think Jack. . . Wilshere is a well-deserved genius. I started following him a year ago when I wanted to sign Arsene Wenger on loan. It's a pity that he refused. He's very talented and capable. I have no doubt that he will succeed in the future. "But ......," Donn shrugged, "and it's not surprising to me that a player who has performed well in a game and suddenly made a name for himself has happened to Wilshere. But unfortunately, the opponent is us, and in my opinion it was a bit of a fluke...... You know, George didn't play yesterday's game. ”

The subtext of his words is "If George. Wood is on it, and whether Wilshere can still be the center of attention through the game against Forest, it is not certain."

He said that and it would have upset Arsenal fans. But he was telling the truth.

George. Wood had been suspended for one game for accumulating five yellow cards before this game. Missed the game against Arsenal. George. Wood's defensive prowess in England no longer needs Donn to say much, it's clear to all. So if George. If Wood is not suspended, can Wilshere, who is in the opposite position, still play so well?

You know, in the game, Wilshere was almost like no one, and Thiago couldn't keep up with the kid's rhythm at all. It looks like the younger ones are bullying the older ones...... But many people believe that if Thiago is replaced by George. Wood. Wilshere would have been honest within fifteen minutes of being fouled by Wood.

In fact, Arsene Wenger also officially took a fancy to George. The fact that Wood was suspended was the reason for Wilshere to start this game and boldly handed over the responsibility of frontcourt playmaking to him.

He won the bet and Arsenal and Wilshere were both successful.

Only Don was a little depressed. He was going to reassure his first-year students after the game, telling them that winning and losing is a matter of course and that losing to Arsenal is not an unacceptable outcome...... And then in training to take the words to squeeze George. Wood: "Look, George. If you're not in a game, even underage kids can get ahead. ”

So George. Wood will use his usual tone, very seriously, and say, "Hopefully in the next meeting, that guy can still start." ”

Donn was next to him and laughed - he lost, but he wasn't angry. Unlike the previous two seasons, when he couldn't lose a game, he seems to be in a relaxed state of mind now.

Yes, he brought a group of players with an average age of no more than twenty-five, including a few understated first-year students, and the club's financial situation was not very good.

Last season's days of gritting your teeth and getting through it seem to be a long time ago.

It's normal to lose these days, it takes time for a team to mature again, and it's not something that a first-year student can become a second-year student in a day.

In addition, Don himself didn't want to put too much load on his heart - he was mainly worried that Shania would not be able to stand it, but in fact, he didn't have anything of it.

He quit smoking and drinking, the way to vent his stress is to go shopping with Shania, in this era of tense economic environment, many stores are on sale, changing the way of discount promotion, now is a good time to shop. Or go to the forest bar and order a juice and chat with the old guys. Otherwise, it's in the media and Carl. Spike fights with his mouth and every squirt, which is good for his body and mind.

Anyway, I was very comfortable.

Allen was flying around outside all day, busy pulling sponsorship money for the new stadium construction plan, and that alone was enough to make him anxious. And Don can automatically block all these annoying things very leisurely, so that Evan and Allen can worry about it. He just led the team to play the game, and he didn't even think about buying anyone for the time being. As long as the club can afford everyone's salary, he doesn't have to worry about it.

Under his leadership, the team occasionally won and occasionally did not win, and the performance was up and down, but it slowly improved towards the new year.

Half a season is coming to an end, and it's Christmas again.

※※※ On the first Christmas of the newlywed, Shania spent her usual catwalks around the world. As usual, Don and Don finished Christmas Eve dinner at Wood's house. Every winter, Sophia's face is unusually pale. Don knew that the cold winter was the hardest time for people with physical illnesses to survive. By the time the spring flowers bloom next year, his health should slowly improve—at least that's what he believes.

In 2009, he spent almost half a year in the shadow of heart disease, but he reaped the love of a lifetime. Although his career has hit a low point, it seems interesting now that he can make a comeback. When he reappeared in Europe, I don't know if the red was even stronger......
