Spence for Porro, Odobert for BJ and Kulu for Maddison - apart from that let’s try and get some momentum !
Use the subs wisely in the second half
Use the subs wisely in the second half
Kinsky, Porro, Udogie, Davies, Bentancur, Bergvall, Tel, Johnson, Solanke
Fucking hell, I fully agree
Only question is Romero starting 4 in 2 weeks
Agree, rest romero
Difficult one. We don’t want any injuries but we also want to get more match fitness and general sharpness into the squad. Forest are fighting hard for an unlikely CL spot likely so it’s going to be a pretty horrible game.
There is absolutely no way that was a tactic. The players resorted to that themselves. It’s clear as day they no longer have any faith in Postecoglou’s philosophy.
All the players will want to be part of this now. Should bring strong performances and thats what I would be encouraging if I was Postecoglou..
The incentives should be clear.

United talking about playing the kids in the EL.
Not sure I agree. Momentum and confidence also massive.
Would love to win some Prem games before Bodo.
Romero, VDV, Udogie, Bergvall, Solanke get a rest, that’s probably it for me. Porro 50/50
Vic
Gray Danso Davies Spence
Biss
Kulusevski Sarr
Odobert Richy Son/Moore
Rotate to keep people fresh and reduce injury risk but that’s it.
Everyone trying to earn their spot in the team
Bergvall rightly getting the applause and reward for his efforts this season. He was thrown in at the deep end….
But so was gray and had to play out of position. Surely he deserves a run out in midfield in these dead rubbber league games?
At this stage finishing 17th or 7th makes no odds.

Real Talks...
Forest are a great counter-attack team & great on the break - all we have to do is make sure our players don't create errors or give the ball away stupidly. It's always 1 duff pass or some dumbshiterry & we lose possession then concede.
But hey it's a PL game - I'll watch it & see how it goes.

protect VDV, id rest maddison too especially after his clattering. try and get some minutes into richy as he might be needed in these cup games. rest bergvall and start gray in midfield.
Score first and they struggle,
They’ve had some beatings when they needed to come out of their shell.
Completely agree - I think it'll be a good watch as both teams tend to be quite entertaining.
I want to win & I think we can beat them - will we? let's see innit.
It’s tricky though, are you really protecting him by not playing him? Or does it just erode his sharpness and match fitness making injury more likely?
That’s what the manager and his staff are paid to figure out.
Last time Spurs played on my birthday, we fucking lost the FA Cup semi against Man United in 2018. This time, the League is over, so I couldn’t care less about the result, so I’m just going to enjoy the day and not give a shit about Spurs.
I think Forest, after a stormer of a season are just beginning to feel it.
I imagine we will load the bench, but the extra day is good.
