Open End Numb Legs Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 40 minutes ago, Gimpymoo said: We are in a similar position really, injuries, players at AFCON, players ineligible, total nightmare. January could have been a quiet month but we insisted on turning two games into four, with one and maybe two going to extra time. As mentioned above we got completely outplayed by Leeds, as a boxing comparison, we didn't land a punch. Unusual as typically we play well up to the final pass but don't take our chances. West Ham was a good example, we deserved to win the replay however the one goal was from an under hit back pass. We could have done with an international window though I guess that applies to many teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) 1 hour ago, Curr Avon said: Apologies if this has been covered before, and before that probably, but how about this 4-4-1-1 line-up? O'Leary Tanner Vyner Dickie Roberts Knight McCrorie Williams Bell Wells Conway Seems a bit square pegs etc to me. Suppose it could be a narrow 4.. Why Knight on the right and McCrorie central for one? Is James benched? If it is a narrow right side you want surely McCrorie and Tanner.

I didn't want to lose Tanner, who has been our best one on one defender and McCrorie kicks ass. I completely forgot about James! As soon as I heard about his knock I went into absentee mode.

They can, but if I was Nottingham Forest I'd be targeting that extra man light in midfield for one which is what Wells and Conway can de facto lead to. I suppose Knight can come inside in some phases..2 v 1 hmm. I'd be playing round the extra man while going man to man v Wells and Conway. Likewise if Knight was to move inside to help I'd be going 2 v 1 vs Tanner or even in phases especially vs the left side with Roberts not having played much this year. Wells and Conway have their duels vs the Nottingham Forest CBs. Edited February 7 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh was just a theory by me..A swift early through ball to Conway, Wells or even Knight pushing on and the whole thing turns on its head. If we score first Nottingham Forest are the unbalanced ones and your shape can counter nicely on them! Apart from Norwich at home we've won every game under Manning in which we scored first I think. It could well work anyway, early red card, early injury to Nottingham Forest, penalty to us..games aren't played on paper after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If James isn’t fit we’ve only really got 14 players with first team experience. That includes 1 OAP in King and 2 full backs who are only just recovering from long term injuries (McCrorie & Roberts). So really only 11 players who have been ‘regular’ starters this season. I hear Courtney Sweetman Kirk on Talksport hasn’t done her research. Just on H&J show and she said “Forest may want to rest players so this gives Bristol City an advantage as they’ll be able to play a full strength team”. Not very likely!!

Forest Red Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Here we are again - FA Cup night under the lights by the Trent. We’ve got players back now so the defence is stronger and Kouyate will come straight in to midfield alongside Danilo. Elanga is back as is Awoniyi so the frontline will be a lot quicker. I think we will field the strongest side and try to get it done by half time to rest Awoniyi and Elanga for the weekend. Hudson Odoi will probably be out after the studs down his Achilles vs Bournemouth.

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Evening all, shame about all our injuries, suspensions and non eligiable players for this replay. I just hope we can come out of the blocks firing on all cylinders like we did against WH and not play like we did against Leeds, if we don't, then I'm afraid we won't be entertaining Man U in the next round. Not sure, is there extra time and pens tonight or does it go straight to Pens? Anyway lets hope the boy's can do it or at least make NF play for it, so Come On You Red's!!!
