What worries me about Forest is how easy they scored at Arsenal................all about pace and pin perfect cross.

It took us about 34 games last season to establish that. I suspect you will have a fair bit of the ball against us and we will still rely on that tactic. Breaking at speed with as much quality as we can muster.

Anel will be fired up for this one for sure! Reckon he'll score from a corner and we'll get a late equaliser

Like last season our defensive weakness on the left side in the absence of RND was exploited by Palace and I would try Robinson at LWB

Me too - either that, or keep Robinson at LCB and play Trusty at LWB ( I prefer your option). I think we need to do everything we can in the short term to shore up our defensive strength, until our midfield is in a place where they can better control the game and keep possession of the ball. I think that Robinson has done more to deserve a shirt than Lowe so far. Our left side was clearly our biggest weakness on Saturday, and that won’t have gone unnoticed ( although I doubt the opposition need any help in anticipating that).
 
We really need the points though given our away start and I think there will be some serious tension in the game.

Not so much from the last time you were at the city ground but more from what the table might look like if we don't win these home games against the promoted 3.

I remember one or two of your posters mentioning to me about mistakes getting punished in the I hate forest thread last year and that is so true. We still make loads so are vulnerable but at least have learned how to capitalise a bit more
 
Baldock and Lowe both cramped up. No way they'll be missing Friday.

Also assuming we can roll McBurnie out on one leg and no further incomings between now and Friday:

Wes

Baldock
Anel
Egan
Trusty
Lowe

Norwood
Slimane
Hamer

McBurnie
Osula

Get Osula running at Worrall and McKenna, they'll not like that
 
Leeds are after Archer this morning, hopefully were in too, but no reports of any talks as yet??
Guessing Hamer defo starts, and hopefully he provides the link between the middle n front 2, and I'd continue with Traore and Osula, they need to form a partnership and hopefully the new Deane/Agana strike force will be formed!!

I've literally never heard us linked with Cooper or Manning. Also, Wes got MOM for Palace it would be strange to drop him even if what you're wanting somehow became reality. No chance we sign another LWB with 3 already.

I'd love to have your team instead of the one we've got but think you'd be lucky to see one of those 4 come through the door
 
First time ive tried doing a line up so here goes
Wes
Anel Egan Trusty Jlt ( think baldocks was more than cramp )
Souza Doyle (( hoping for doyle)
Slimane Hamer Traore
Archer ( or usala )
Subs norwood for souza, usalafor archer, brooks for traore

I think we will now play 4-5-1
 
Does it matter who plays? I can see Forest getting 5 they are better than Palace, I have written this month off.

If you know anything about Cooper for between 3-5 mil he’s one of the best keepers in the country it’s a steal. I know Wes got man of match that’s because most of the others were very poor. He did make errors on the day too. Cooper commands the box like no one we have had since Kelly and Tracey. Manning will be a huge improvement. It’s not strange to drop anyone this is the premier league no room for sentiment. I have a couple of mates in Plymouth are terrified Cooper will go he’s fully recovered from injury (inflicted by the pigs) get him in mill house blade

Is there two Mannings? Ryan Manning went to Soton on a free transfer in July.

Archer is being linked with Leeds.

Why would he go to dirty Leeds. Wasn’t Hammer linked with them before we jumped in. but he’s now in the championship so could tempt him

I'm not suggesting they're not good players but I don't think you'll see any of them sign for us anytime soon.

If Bakdock was just cramp then I'm Santa Claus.

No way was that cramp, you should know better than to believe everything Hecky says by now.

Don't have to believe Hecky, I saw him cramp up about 20 yards away from where I was sat 🤣

If Lowe and Bakdock are both unavailable i would honestly ditch wingbacks and play 4 at the back with Souza sitting just in front of them

Against Palace I noticed that when the subs were made we switched to a 4141 formation, with Souza playing in front of the 4. Could give us:

------------------Wes------------------
Basham---Anel------Egan------Robbo
-----------------Souza-----------------
Traore----Hamer--Norwood--Osborn
-----------------Osula------------------

Not sure I fancy that tho.

I would prefer (assuming Baldock and Lowe are out, and we don't sign anyone new):

------------------Wes------------------
--------Anel----Egan----Trusty--------
Basham--Norwood---Souza---Osborn
--------Traore----------Hamer---------
-----------------Osula------------------

Maybe Slimane for Traore?
