Nottingham Forest banter 5

21 Apr 2024 13:19:34
Our midfield looks a bit lightweight - not enough running and physical presence - hope I'm wrong. MGW will have to help out. Niakate also been a disappointment for me since we signed him, hopefully he proves today he's a £17M player? Improvement on Omabamadele though. Again we must not concede in the first 20 minutes (our we score 2!).

21 Apr 2024 13:14:35
As predicted Mr Dyche knows what he is doing and has played his ace card ie Calvert. We still have two at the back and will not cope with him. Elanga every time should be in the team and offers more than HO. Glad to see Reyna playing. Nuno has as always picked an attacking side. I do not think Everton will sit back and maybe a Cooper tactic of 3 centre backs and catching them on the break is best. The odds are against Everton being relegated for the first time in nearly 70 yrs, and the stats are against us ever winning at Everton. What do I know about football except for my near 70 yrs of watching - probably little. To come away with a point will be a very good result in my eyes.

21 Apr 2024 12:45:34
I know it's already been stated that today's match is massive. It 100% is as well. We could do the Toffee's today and give ourselves a decent gap from Luton with only 4 to play. Come on you Reds. These are on the back of a hiding. Gi em another.

21 Apr 2024 12:31:04
Let's hope Danilo turns up for once in an away game - repeating the same thing and expecting a different outcome, we all know what that represents. Omabamadele - oh dear! Hudson-Odoi has to have his best game of the season today. You would think that an ex Liverpool player would thrive in today's game but could you risk the Origi one man circus? COYR.

21 Apr 2024 12:40:34
Need to put everything on Young today pressure him and we get something but They have a big side and McNeil is going to zero the crosses in.

21 Apr 2024 10:48:51
Will there be a deal done today for a point a peace, in today's corrupt game of football nothing surprises me any more, I'm sure its been done before. But will a point each help either side, is it enough especially for Forest, I'm not sure it is, after Luton's loss yesterday 3 points for either side will be invaluable. After watching the FA cup semi final yesterday, i'm afraid we won't see any points coming from our last two home games, Sheffield U will be gone so that will give them a free hit at Forest, with no pressure, and Burnley seem to be on a bit of a roll, and its not a place that Forest get much joy anyway, worrying times. So come on Forest, go for it, let's get the 3 points today.

21 Apr 2024 12:23:41
I’d take a draw today Dream. It will be a tough game but with Luton’s result yesterday it would be an inch further in our crawl to safety.
Everton can’t play as badly as they did in midweek, Pickford especially looked awful. He’s made a few mistakes now for Everton and England in the friendlies but you just know he will shine against us.
I think it will be decided long before we play Burnley last game. Sheffield Utd and Chelsea ( for different reasons ) may well be on the beach by then, Chelsea are immensely talented, young ( and expensive) but can be flakey under pressure especially away from home.
We will probably get nothing from Man City but the other relegation teams have much more difficult run ins.
Anyway, one game at a time. A win today gives us breathing space and may well be enough with goal difference and points appeal to come.
Watching it on Sky but feel as tense as if I was at the game ……?????.

At Limes Cafe at Bilsthorpe having breakfast before the four of us travel to Liverpool

Normally have no problem with a full English but today my stomach is turning like a cement mixer! Nerves have kicked in!

The Omens were good for away teams yesterday let's hope that continues today

I think 2-1 to us today Wood and Elanga

COYR.

21 Apr 2024 09:42:22
Have a great day Munmad.
Hope your wheels are still attached to your car when you get back to it after the game.
" Loook afta ya caaar mista? "

21 Apr 2024 09:56:33
"Caaaaaalm Down! "
Caaaaaaalm Down! "
???.

21 Apr 2024 11:08:50
If we can get at their veteran LB's and RB's with Adoi and Elanga. we should get something hopefully.
COYRS!

21 Apr 2024 11:16:51
PS. Can we change the rules so there are no Set Pieces or Corners against us just for today?
???.

21 Apr 2024 11:17:51
If ya struggling with that fry up mun, skegs will finish it for you ??.

21 Apr 2024 11:18:58
Bloody hell. Huge game. Hope they win for the sakes of all of us, especially the travelling fans.

What's the talk among you guys about boycotting anthems/ banners? Is it really the right time in such a massive game?

Admit I'm a bit nervous about today as well.

21 Apr 2024 12:39:40
Now you know we’ve already tried bending the rules and it’s cost4 points ??
CARLO.

21 Apr 2024 13:11:35
Don’t think we should cancel the flag waving or mull of kintyre, it gives the players a lift, and you can’t blame them for the price hike, that’s on the Greek and his cronies. So come on fans let's get behind them even if its going to be some of you your last couple of games.

21 Apr 2024 08:14:28
Morning nerves kicking in massive game today I can't call it never know which forest team is going to turn up.

21 Apr 2024 10:03:36
Let's hope we are 2-0 up by halftime they will be up for it and will sling in crosses from everywhere so we must stop them at source, and I will have my hands over my face most of the match ????.

21 Apr 2024 11:21:03
Agree Jester, the wing backs and CBs need a monster performance today. COYR! ?.

21 Apr 2024 07:39:32
{Ed's Note - Thestigno1 has posted a new article entitled, Where are Glasgow Rangers Headed?

20 Apr 2024 21:52:11
If this team of ours goes down as one of the 3 worst teams in this division then it will be a disgrace simple as

Sheff Utd sold their 2 best players and did t replace them
Luton are a team of free transfer and out of contract players
Burnley are a young team who have had little or no investment

We on the other hand have spent a lot of money and have squad that should be mid table certainly in the top 12

Pull your fingers out and play for yourselves your club and your fans! Starting tomorrow

COYR.

21 Apr 2024 09:06:26
Well said mate, TIME TO DELIVER!

21 Apr 2024 11:20:52
Been telling ya that for months Mun. There a disgrace ?.

20 Apr 2024 19:09:35
Evening Reds. I hope all those travelling to Scouseland tomorrow have a safe journey and a great day. Unfortunately, as Skegs, I will be armchair viewing again tomorrow. I wish I could be there with you! Fingers crossed for a good result.

20 Apr 2024 20:12:09
There will be 60 odd thousand watching on TV me included legless, not easy to get away tickets
Looking forward to the game after watching luton get torn to pieces today.

20 Apr 2024 17:20:49
Well we win tomorrow and with the results today a big plus for the future in the premier only ourselves to blame if we don't take advantage lots of nervous tension to look forward to tomorrow ??.

20 Apr 2024 17:33:07
God knows what Forest will show up. I simply can't call it.

20 Apr 2024 18:02:21
Balloons ? nailed it yesterday, it’s a very poor league and it’s ridiculous that having spent all we’ve spent, we are down there in deep, deep trouble. Never an easier chance to stay up. Sort your incompetent cronies out will you big M?

20 Apr 2024 19:13:57
As soon as the fixture list was issued I thought that it will go right down to the last game, and so it! looks like. Just felt that the fixtures just felt that way. Just don't lose at Everton, that's it tomorrow.

20 Apr 2024 20:44:08
Yes Burnley are getting some late points not many behind and play them last match.

20 Apr 2024 20:52:55
It won't go to the last game mate.

21 Apr 2024 02:42:42
When it comes to this league and our team I wouldn't rule anything out but hope you're right.

20 Apr 2024 12:44:43
Everton Sheff Utd Burnley all away all must not lose games I reckon 6 points from those games are needed and anything we get at home to Chelsea and City are a bonus 32 pts will be enough imo.

20 Apr 2024 15:06:21
We need 3 against Everton tomorrow leaving it to late else and I don't think we will have good games against Sheffield United and Burnley as by then they will have been relegated and teams seem to be more dangerous when they play with nothing to lose.

20 Apr 2024 15:51:32
Sheffield United will be particularly hard. a lot of previous between the two clubs.

20 Apr 2024 16:54:03
Burnley maybe more of a concern than Luton. Last game of the season, winner stays up. ?.

20 Apr 2024 17:14:19
Burnley's fixtures are hard Scouse.
Man Utd, Newcastle and Spurs before they play us.
Would like to think they won't pick up another point before they play us and they can't overhaul us on goal difference.
Who knows though anything can happen!

20 Apr 2024 19:46:35
Rogie sheff u are absolutely embarrassing, mate if we can’t beat them we don’t deserve to stay up,

20 Apr 2024 20:34:15
Bit like the decisions against us too mate.

20 Apr 2024 14:01:11
MM I think we agree. The result depends on whether their striker is fit as he didn’t play vs Chelsea I wonder if Sean Dych deliberately rested him. If he plays on Sunday we need 3 central defenders.

20 Apr 2024 19:01:31
Not enough height in that team. Their biggest strength is set pieces and although I understand you should play to your strengths, we should also not be naive. Boly and Yates need to be in there somewhere.

20 Apr 2024 19:04:12
Calverton Lewin?
Scored a pen and then had a clearance go in off him
Quaking about him playing as he's such a goalscorer ??.

20 Apr 2024 20:53:10
Boly not fit
Felipe looks done
Go with the settled defence
Yates?
Been shocking last two games but will probably play.

20 Apr 2024 22:01:36
Omb and Murillo seem to be an oppositions dream, we look so weak when those two play together. Individually think they’re both sound but together it’s a no go in my opinion.
