reddogkev Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 It is obvious to state, but this is a big, big game, and I really feel this is the momentum changer. This is the game we absolutely have to hammer home with a win. Forest are in a state of shambles, and with our new signings, plus the hard-fought win against a very good League One side, we are on the cusp of turning things around. I note that Forest are also selling Lansbury to Villa, which will leave them significantly weakened. This feels like the game where everything changes for us again, and we can restore our confidence. The fact is, we will finish a lot higher in the league with the squad we now have, and it's not too late to still crash the top ten places. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

It's utterly vital that we win. Two wins in a row and we have a momentum. Another defeat and we are back to square one. Besides, I've shelled out sixty odd quid today on a match and train ticket so we'd better bloody well turn in a performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also expecting to be called far too optimistic - for even musing about the top ten - which I will openly accept after our recent shocking run. But I've put our terrible form firmly in the past, and feel we absolutely have to start performing better. We now have a formidable squad. We also need to start enjoying having one of England's finest prospects playing in a City shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Forest fan friend of mine pointed out from their Forum that although the fans are distraught with what is going on with Forest, they do fancy their team to beat us or at least draw. It was also pointed out that Lansbury was set to play tomorrow? Has something changed on that? I have to admit that the business done thus far has given me a more positive outlook on our current predicament. Given the run of games we have coming up, 3 points on Saturday would be massive another 3 points against Rotherham as well and it all looks a lot better.

Although Johnson gets loads of sagging for saying we are not too far away from being a really good side, he's right in my opinion. Hopefully the cup win can instill some confidence over the 90 minutes of the game. A game which I reckon is the most important of LJ's career. If we lose then I reckon it won't just be Forest fans protesting at their club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brazil and Jack Lester from the Academy will be looking after 1st team on Saturday. The feeling is that this will remain the case until a take over is completed. If it ever does!

Wasn't Cardiff also a pivotal game? if Flint can stay tighter on his man when the ball is on the ground and we keep the same mid field as Fleetwood game we could be OK If...... we win on Saturday please please please keep the same team for 5 or 6 games and make those on the bench know they have excel when brought on to make the starting 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardy Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Always a big game for me as half my family are Forest and unfortunately for me i will be sat with my cousin with the home fans as he sits with me at the Gate when we're home. Forest are in a mess and close to selling their best player and i truly believe we will go there, play well and get the 3 points! You reds!

Hopefully we can spring a surprise... Interesting view from Forest. Since coming back up into the Championship, we have played them 3 times, winning all three. It's actually four straight wins, or 5 wins in 6, going back far enough to our previous Championship spell. As Forest have declined, we have enjoyed playing them. Yet they cannot shake off the view that it's "only Bristol City." I suppose our current form contributes to this, but we can only hope the Forest team are as complacent.

Sweeneys Penalties Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Would much welcome three points, it could prove the springboard to an upsurge in League form. This game is heavily underlined with the words Do not lose though.. Defeat could well send us into a terminal (as far as this season is concerned) tailspin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this game is infinitely bigger in every way, shape, and form! Now, I don't know if you're directing your last line at me, but just on the rare chance you are, I am not actually in charge of City (damn shame though, if you ask me).
