Popular Post Jerseybean Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 A sell out. We all enjoyed the last game under the lights at Ashton Gate on 16 January, here’s how the BBC captured it, https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67984498 This Friday night under the lights in BS3 promises to be another special one. Forest were held by Blackpool at home in round 3 and won the replay 3-2 with Wood netting for Forest (couldn’t resist) in extra time. Head to head we have won 22, lost 43 and drawn 33. In all fixtures between the two clubs, Forest have a 44% win rate and only a 22% loss rate. However, for the four times we have played each other in the F.A. Cup, going back to 1922, Forest have a 100% win rate (the 1922 tie went to a replay after a 0-0 draw at Ashton Gate, Forest winning the replay 3-1 with Henri Lansbury scoring all four goals) Last Saturday they were away to Brentford it finished in a 3-2 defeat for the away team. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwizg_OryuWDAxV6UqQEHerGBloQtwJ6BAgUEAI&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxKeaR1jQ2w&usg=AOvVaw1fdGCvTbSYU7TVUnx1ooWJ&opi=89978449 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwizg_OryuWDAxV6UqQEHerGBloQtwJ6BAgQEAI&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQLd1JoCWC0&usg=AOvVaw1d2VdgzQnJNzDt2W2UCgY0&opi=89978449 Who would you consider to be the five greatest Forest players of all time? https://thesporting.blog/blog/greatest-nottingham-forest-players-of-all-time Players who have played for them and us include, Jack Hunt, Chris Wood, Henri Lansbury, Peter Cormack and John Galley.

Two-Time European Champions One of their most remarkable achievements was winning the European Cup not once, but twice. Under the management of Brian Clough, Forest clinched the prestigious trophy in back-to-back seasons, in 1979 and 1980.

1960maaan Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I've seen a few clips of Forest over the week, and a few points pop up. They have injury problems, apparently fairly heavy up front. They have several players one contracts with no relegation clauses. If they get relegated they could be in big FFP trouble. Now adding 2 & 2 and probably getting 5 , I wonder if they may rest a few for tonight . Arsenal Tuesday and Bournemouth next weekend will surely take precedence , but how much. We could do with them resting all the fit strikers, they've scored 2 or more in each of their last 6 games. On the other side, in those 6 games they've let in 11. So , what chances an exciting 4-2 home win tonight. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Red Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hi all, A Forest fan in peace. I’m looking forward to the game tonight, it should be a good old fashioned cup tie with no VAR to ruin the match. I see some are speculating on injuries - we’ve got a few. We are down to one striker, Wood with Callum Hudson Odoi on the wing. MGW I believe is still injured, Elanga is out and of course Awoniyi. We’ve also lost 6 players to AFCON. Other than that, we can’t defend and all our goalkeepers are crap. Nuno will play a strong team, mainly cos we don’t have much option. Probably 4231: Turner Montiel - Omabamidele - Murillo - Tavares Yates - Mangala CHO - Danilo - Dominguez Wood I have fond memories of BC matches - the 2 v 1 win in our promotion season is the moment we started to believe something special was happening. Lyle Taylor had his only good match for us and his penalty gave every Forest fan a heart attack. Good luck and let’s hope for a rip roaring entertaining FA Cup tie. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, we can’t defend and all our goalkeepers are crap. Nuno will play a strong team, mainly cos we don’t have much option. Probably 4231: Turner Montiel - Omabamidele - Murillo - Tavares Yates - Mangala CHO - Danilo - Dominguez Wood I have fond memories of BC matches - the 2 v 1 win in our promotion season is the moment we started to believe something special was happening. Lyle Taylor had his only good match for us and his penalty gave every Forest fan a heart attack. Good luck and let’s hope for a rip roaring entertaining FA Cup tie. That's a pretty strong team! Surely some rotation from last match considering arsenal on Tuesday. Players like Mckenna, Williams, Aguilera, Toffolo to come in?

Neither could we - Lyle Taylor - one of the worst striker in Forest history actually kick the ball into the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although robins are often called redbreast the colour is actually orange. Orange, as a colour, was unknown in English until the Middle Ages. Until then orange was just regarded as a shade of red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players you quoted + Worrall are all the options we have. The rest of the bench will be U21’s. Aguilera is the only attacking option on the bench. Yates went off injured vs Blackpool and we had to put Nico Williams in Midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been done by somebody at the club. Yeah, Scotty can't be great at everything. And maybe that's one of the ones JL sowed.

Jerseybean Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 For a superstitious City fan like me disaster has just struck. Just going to walk the dog when his lead broke! Obviously this means that, should we go ahead tonight, we won’t be able to hold onto the lead! 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 3 hours ago, Forest Red said: Hi all, A Forest fan in peace. I’m looking forward to the game tonight, it should be a good old fashioned cup tie with no VAR to ruin the match. I see some are speculating on injuries - we’ve got a few. We are down to one striker, Wood with Callum Hudson Odoi on the wing. MGW I believe is still injured, Elanga is out and of course Awoniyi. We’ve also lost 6 players to AFCON. Other than that, we can’t defend and all our goalkeepers are crap. Nuno will play a strong team, mainly cos we don’t have much option. Probably 4231: Turner Montiel - Omabamidele - Murillo - Tavares Yates - Mangala CHO - Danilo - Dominguez Wood I have fond memories of BC matches - the 2 v 1 win in our promotion season is the moment we started to believe something special was happening. Lyle Taylor had his only good match for us and his penalty gave every Forest fan a heart attack. Good luck and let’s hope for a rip roaring entertaining FA Cup tie. That keeper of yours is a bit of a car crash from the games I have come across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fell out spectacularly with Steve Cooper - Coops dropped him for the trip to Anfield, Worrall threw his toys out the pram and refused to travel to the game. As he’s club Captain, most people think he’s in the wrong. The other issue is he’s too slow and can get bullied by Prem forwards so he’s lucky to make the bench anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
