Nottingham Forest (H) - Wed 31 Aug, 19:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

This is the sort of game we really should be winning at least 6-0. For some reason though that hardly ever seems to happen as refs/var and teams parking the bus and raising their games against us always happens.

So in reality I reckon a 2-0 win after a boring first half where Forest put everyone behind the ball and throw themselves in front of every shot. But they’ll tire and eventually we’ll get a breakthrough.

I’m so desperate for us to smash somebody 9 or 10 one game, but I doubt this will be it.

I'd want another 9-0 just to see what kind of press we get and how it compares with the write up from the recent one.

Forest have announced a 74 man squad for Wednesday.

Is that a back 7 and a defensive midfield of 4?

We're saving it for the derby

7 keepers, I think.

Any idea when Grealish will be available again?

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

1-0 and 3points will do

No chance we rest players for this , strongest team possible to keep our foot on the Dippers throats , we need to tighten our defence and a clean sheet and a couple of more goals for Haaland would be nice, and i wouldnt be surprised if the Dipshits to slip up against the undefeated Geordies ,

Not sure if you are serious or not

They were at home against Spurs, which meant they were going to give it more of a go. Expect them to be a bit tighter, away at the Champions. Still expect us to be too good for them.
