THE MATCH - SATURDAY 24TH SEPTEMBER 2016 at 3PM BST

   V     

A home game we should be expecting to win but so far this season Forest have proved to be a slightly better outfit than they were last season!! Having said that they are no better than us, sitting on the same points so with us being at home this is still a match we should be winning!!

This will be the 139th meeting between us with our record being very even at W58 D27 L53. Our home record is slightly better W34 D15 L20 but in our last 10 home games against them we have only W4 D1 L5, but we did improve that last season with a uninspiring 1-0 win, something I would take again if need be!!! Here is the video of that win:





THE LAST MATCH

Disappointing to play fairly well, get the lead in the 75th minute with a nicely worked goal by Hooper only to concede a poor penalty from Westwoods perspective and a last minute free header to see them take all the points. Sort of epitomises our season so far, look good but fail to put teams away when we have the chances.

A video we might not want to see but here it is anyway!!




WHO'S IN AND WHO'S OUT

Hutchinson is back, does he get back into the team?? What does CC do with midfield, which on paper is good but not able to see out the 90 mins?? Who plays up top after Hooper scored when he came on??  Here is my team:

Westwood

Palmer  Lees  Loovens  Emanuelson

Lee  Abdi  Bannan  Reach

Forestieri

Fletcher

What team would you like to see??

Forest are shit but like nearly 90% of the teams that come to Hillsborough they will put out a bus and Forest are one off the best at Bus football for two seasons running theyve played it at Hillsborough and won one through the worst ref ive ever seen in my life and lost the other through sheer Fessi so CC will know all about this and will be pateint and play 4-4-2 and we will either get 1 nilled or in the second half we will fessi the fuckers ? so with that in mind it will be a dull draw wont it cant have 0-0 so ill have
1-1 fessi

HHHHHH

We need Hutch jones lee and Bannan in midfield and the rest should stay the same if we are going to start the game ( sorry when we start the game 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 keep palmer and Reach as fullbacks and forgods sake pick sasso over that feffing useless pile of shite loovens but it wont happen so i dont know why i bothered typing it no work on saturday and ive been looking for it and the little one will wake me up anayway so im fcuked and wait for it!!! its going to rain all feffing weekend may aswell top myself now


Good on yer charlie for not putting the thread up at a feffing wierd hour

Nice one ,SCO!

I managed to sneak in just after Imre. I can't see a win here to be honest, as hit and miss as Forest might be. They've shown more than we have I feel and will edge this one. As Imre said they'll let us basically pass it about all day and hit us on the counter, like every team does.
We could be ok if Wallace is dropped, Abdi gets reshuffled or replaced also. Nuhiu is nowhere near the squad and the back 4 keep it together.
Would bring Buckley in for Wallace, Move Abdi inside and let Fessi stay out left, Reach did well at LB I think.

1-2 Forestieri

Stupid old git ! Anyone with any common sense about the way we play wouñd put hutch striaght back in the team either at cb again or where we are lacking bite in defensive midfield ! I for on would have him play with jones and bannan and lee infront of them with fessi allocer the place and fletcher the traget man ! Thsts how we should start the game anyway and at least then we will go into ht level ! Then shift it around with abdi abd hooper and wallace who i still believe will win us quite a few games played at the right time in the match !
