Nottm Forest (H) 9/12: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Johnny75]

Alternately they'll be working on those during the rest of the week and maybe tighten those areas up for the weekend.

That's a huge amount of work to do in 3 days

I'm not saying they'd fix it or all of it, but they'll likely be working on them.

Gazza will have stuff for us to exploit regardless.

Everything I see from Forest fans suggests him being binned today is inevitable

How often do teams get 2 whallopings in succession? I don't think it happens often, really. We should beat them, but to expect to thump 3 or 4 past them is probably unlikely.

I'm guessing Forest will want to make it scrappy and bad tempered and try grind out a result.

 

[Tony Towner]

If Cooper stays I think he'll recall the old guard the likes of Yates, Worrall and McKenna, lacking in quality but will battle for him. Ultimately they are Championship players though so as Dave Jones used to say ad nauseum we'll need to earn the right to play

Sort of what I was getting at last night, but Johnny hurt my feelings and laughed at me

 

[Stan Hullis]

I hate this game due to living in Nottingham and having plenty of Forest mates who always seem to find the clarity of thought to message me should they get a result.

I hope we smash them.

I think there's a good chance Doc starts at LB/LWB on Saturday.

Which obviously would be crazy.

The likelihood of us beating anyone heavily in the PL is pretty low even if Neto is fit. Without him it becomes extremely low. Be nice to not have to endure a nervy last few minutes for a change and hope springs eternal.

I assume you meant hammering rather than beating?

I disagree. I think GON is, in the main, a pretty fast learner. I’m confident it will be Hugo from the start & hopefully RAN will be fit enough to feature from the bench.

He would be pulling a big surprise to bring Worrall back. Their relationship is supposed to be FUBAR

Yes. Thrashing even!

Can see them reverting to basics and doing everything not to lose and nick something

Bueno isn't injured, he was just suffering with cramp. I fully expect him to start saturday.

No I know, but he's come back from a long layoff and the number of minutes in such a short period of time may mean GON turns to Doc.

It's really obvious that if there is an issue with Bueno we should play Toti at LB and bring S. Bueno in, but given GON's recent lean towards Doc I'm not so sure he'd do this.

As said let's hope that both RAN and Hugo are fit and we never see Doc at LB/LWB ever again!

He brought him on for Bueno as recently as.....our last game.

Yes, they'll come for a 0-0/0-1, I imagine. Hopefully, GON will plot a route past the bus.
