lol 18 to 15 doesn’t really sound like out playing themMaybe to West Ham.
Definitely not Chelsea.
Wolves had a lot more shots than us. And Villa don’t/ didn’t park the bus. We just outplayed them totally the first half. 18 shots to 15.

Sounds very much like pre spam game saying give so and do 15 minutes etc. You do know beating NF is not a foregone conclusion. Let’s go out like v toon, play our , create chances, try to put few away without conceding much and blood just win the game. Forget all the stats of previous games going on about how many shots, passes, poccesion. Most can be ignored as I’ve said before you could have tame effort from outside the box that is blocked or goes well wide and that is counted as a shot.Well, for once the team selection should be as clear as a day.
Unchanged XI for this, please and thank you!
Five full days of rest as well, so everyone should have been recovered.
Surely they will park the bus, but after seeing good creativity from Kulu in the middle and much sharper wing-play by Son-Johnson in Sunday, I have a feeling we will create chances. If we manage to put them away as well is more difficult of a question. But hoping for the best.
Would be really happy to see Veliz get some minutes up top as well. Maybe like last 15 minutes if scoreline allows. To have otherwise well-functioning machine producing him some chances to make his mark.
Exactly been saying it all season! Get BJ on the right to beat his man and cross like Sonny does on the left. Neither inverted wingers did that in previous games. Hence we couldn’t beat spam.Yeah, against low blocks we need the width and we need wingers need to go round the outside.
He's in the Pantheon of the Football Gods, no doubt.Yep. Cloughie was a genius. RIP.
Considering that was 43 years ago and they have since been a yo-yo club for a few decades; I'm not sure that really holds much tactical relevance tomorrow night.

Easy to forget that unlike most of the other legendary managers, he achieved supreme greatness with two old-school but nevertheless very unfashionable teams.
Forest and Derby fans of that time must have thought they were tripping.
Compare and contrast with Pep Guardiola and countless others.
And an anti-fashion style icon to boot. I know that if I were a Forest fan I would permanently have a baggy misshapen green sweatshirt that I'd wear with pride.
Requiescat in pace indeed.

I was just thinking about him and this exact situation.Time for Jamie Donley to rise, he might even get some more mins if we are cruising in this match.

Their fans do love a green jumper. But fuck looking like a hobo.
Do feel a bit sorry for the scruffy bastards when I see them on the train and I’m dressed nicely topped off with a smart Peacoat and my favourite Russell and Bromley boots.
Also my overriding memory of girls from Nottingham is they would often go out sans knickers. And loved a southern accent.
Probably all fed up with green jumper wearing menfolk.
What a great world we live in.
I actually quite like Alan Brazil, he’s pretty level headed for a talkshite presenter and seems a decent characterWell this season they have lost 8 games. Out of 16.
In the two seasons they won the European cup they played 84 games and lost 6.
So it’s fair to say they are absolutely shit now.
Times change. A photo story to prove my point.

I just fucking can't sometimes.
ye manShouldn’t be a tough game. They’re shite. We’ll batter fuck out of them.
Shit, I bought an oversized sweatshirt exactly that colour, this year. And I love it..And an anti-fashion style icon to boot. I know that if I were a Forest fan I would permanently have a baggy misshapen green sweatshirt that I'd wear with pride.

On more serious matters, for a tv only spectator, how good is a Friday night match? Hopefully a perfect end to the working week.
