Match Thread Forest (H) Tuesday, 7 pm KO (3 Viewers)

[Sky Blue Harry H]

None of them 3 worry us their not a great side we should be looking to beat them tomorrow my only worry is fatigue kicking in after 3 games in 6 days with no subs used to keep players fresher than playing 90 mins but let’s see,We should beat them

I let you get away with it last time, but it is 3 games in 7 days (not 6). Think Murray is a clever player, but he shouldn't worry our defence with pace. Taylor hasn't started recently, they've played Grabban on his own, so I'm hoping they leave Taylor out again (as although I don't like him, he always worries me when we play against him). Think Garner will be a good player, but he and Krovinovovovovovic won't have had time to gel in midfield.

Bad feeling about this one. They've added some quality.

 

[Magwitch]

We hammered Forest earlier in the season and got nowt for it after giving away another daft penalty and missing guilt edged chances we should be chomping at the bit for this one.

Remains to be seen if they will work out or not. Hughton hasn’t exactly set them alight since he joined

 

[Great_Expectations]

Definitely a big game tonight and it’s one I’m looking forward to.

I would stick with the same team, albeit I’d be slightly worried about tiredness as this is the third game in a week for the same set of players. Important for MR to manage this properly through his substitutions - which isn’t a strength of his.

Their new signings look good on paper, but hopefully they won’t have settled yet and aren’t fully match sharp.

I’m hoping we’ll be offensive from the off, as we always look so much better when we are.

3-1, Gyokeres, Hamer, Ostigard.

 

[Warwickhunt]

McF off with illness, won't be available for this one either.

Is he sick of giving penalties away then

Yep, and everyone thought Oxford had the best window last year. Sometimes continuity is best. Hughton will do ok there, he'll keep them up, but nothing to say new signings will gel - and this is probably the best time to play them.

 

[Warwickhunt]

We struggle to score goals, we control games but don’t convert enough of our chances, due to our style of play, we restrict ourselves to difficult chances.

sounds familier to us! if you ask me. MR will not let them out of the blocks until about 70 minutes.

Each game is getting closer to Gus raking Steve Cook anyway, looking forward to it all.

 

[Macca]

Anything less than a win tonight and it will be a disappointing return from the last 3 given what’s to come

 

[Frostie]

Must not lose tonight, a point would be absolutely fine but a win would be massive.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Draw is a minimum here but Forest are a decent side on their day and they’ve made some excellent signings in the last dew days. If Anthony Knockaert plays he is going to wreck McCallum’s career. Sam really struggles against tricky/pacy wingers, as he did against Brum.
Forest struggle up top with goals a bit like us.

On paper yes, but our games stand or fall by whether or not we make stupid mistakes at the back and take our chances. Each game pretty much decided by that

 

[rexo87]

No doubt I will overreact as much as everyone else here but even if we did get nothing tonight the next run of fixtures has been a bit dramatised.

Watford (H) - Looked awful last night and I’m confident we can at least get something from this one

Cardiff (A) - on a horrendous run of form and we beat them at home

Norwich (H) - very difficult but is at home midweek under the lights. They might not fancy it

Brentford (H) - very difficult again but on Tv 12:30 strange things tend the happen

Swansea (A) - were the better side at home, admittedly they have improved since

Blackburn and Middlesbrough - very inconsistent sides not going to be scrapping against relegation and unlikely for PO

Brentford I worry about, the rest we could nick a point at least. Midweek games at St Andrews all been drawn or won to be fair

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Indeed. And there will be more mistakes to come. That naivety from the players is the difference between established champ players and ours.

Agreed, they are on a great run of form and tbf played us off the park for 60 mins at their place. We are a lot better now I feel than then though and I might be wrong but don’t think Hamer played in that one, was he suspended?

We might be but they’re just a very good side in form, no disgrace losing to them and we will lose more between now and the end. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try and get something from every game

McCallum will be ok the winger he faced against Brum is better than what he will face tonight

 

[cc84cov]

My pal is a big forest fan he says they are hit and miss he don’t get why they play counter attack as their too lazy and not quick enough,regardless how they turn up they still struggle to score...he thinks we beat them tonight.

Any time someone’s mate reckons we beat their team we never do

 

[Macca]

I think my concern is more that if we can only take 4 points from 9 from the teams around us then I don’t see the optimism v the teams above us. That’s my (somewhat muddled) thinking. That said I guess a draw also takes 2 points away from Forest so fair enough

 

[Macca]

if you all had a tenner to bet with and were neutral, who would be your 3 to drop?

 

[cc84cov]

He said they were awful last time couldn’t believe they won

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

if you all had a tenner to bet with and were neutral, who would be your 3 to drop?

Wycombe Wednesday Rotherham

 

[Macca]

Wycombe, Birmingham I can’t split us and Rotherham/Weds

 

[Bugsy]

if you all had a tenner to bet with and were neutral, who would be your 3 to drop?

Wycombe Wednesday Rotherham

agree with this as i don't think Sheff wed have enough in them to stay up

 

[mark82]

Wycombe, Sheffield Wednesday and possibly Birmingham or Rotherham.

 

[cc84cov]

Some big games tonight a win will be lovely but I’ll be happy with a point

Marosi
Fadz
Rose
Walker

Should be back tonight the bench looks strong,crucial players coming back just at the right time.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

It is difficult to make a prediction without seeing the team sheet, but I am a bit nervous.

Win and we create some serious daylight for our difficult upcoming games, lose and we have got well and truly sucked back in. Very important game.
