Never under estimate a team with their history. Lots to prove and they'll want to be the first team to take points from us. Add to that Haaland misfiring, Foden is poor and our injuries. Tough game. I'd take 1-1 right now.

 

[Stelea]

Poor lad. I notice he's not even on the training photo gallery on the OS!

Probably sits on the bench for that too.

Not worried about the injuries v Forest. Enough power still available. Forest have improved so we will need to perform up to scratch.
Win 3-1.

We probably have 13 players avaiable we could call genuine first team players and some decent academy players , our squad is stretched but Jack will probably be on the bench according to Pep , will be interesting what team he picks at Newcastle in the cup , i think it will be full of academy players , dont like giving up any competition but if there is one then it has to be the Carabao Cup and we may as well do it in the first game than the sem-final.
We know what Forest will do , like most teams it will be an attack v defence game , just hope we get a couple of early goals then we can bring on some of the academy lads to take up the strain.

Can't see many academy players being on the bench. The EDS have just played Chelsea and the under 18's play Leeds tomorrow at 11am.

Can we fill the bench with goalkeepers or will the Premier league make that charge number 106 :)

Charge number 106 will be whatever solution we come up with.

I’m missing it unfortunately due to Covid. Feel like absolute crap 4 days in.
