Thanks for posting.
When I saw last week's line up I was worried, it looked like we were very light in midfield. But it worked - better than anyone could have expected I guess.
I'd be happy to start with the same eleven and shape as last weeks. But we had three go off last week with injuries of what looked like varying seriousness.
Williams looked the most serious, a hamstring, and I don't expect him to figure today. Montiel would be an acceptable replacement.
Murillo and Boly both looked to have groin problems. Hopefully both are available if Nuno decides to stick with the same shape.

If we don't win today we are in trouble. If it goes to the last day at Turf Moor then serious trouble.

Taiwo on the bench? I thought he might have been on the bench last week to be honest; but i am hopeful that we wont need to risk him again this season.

It's going to be about attitude this afternoon. We need to start on the front foot. If we let the seize them initiative early on they could score the first goal - they have goals in their team. Let's get at them, score first and then coast home.

Forest to win by 2 goals at least

Today is crunch time I hope the players understand that and are up for it.

Both Bens, Osborn & Brereton start for the blunts!

They will both want to win this game.

In reality, if we lose today we deserve to go down.
It’s obvious what is required, you don’t need to be a genius to figure it out, just hope the players have enough about then to give their all.
The blunts have nothing to play for, which could make them either very dangerous, or they could just roll over, i doubt the latter against us, as there is no love lost between us.
Unfortunately, Nuno has done a Pep, again, and out thought himself by changing from the formation we used last week. Yates is back in, probably not a bad change, as Utd are a team he likes playing, and scoring against.
Taiwo on the bench, hopefully give him half an hour, but only if we are in control.
I’m hoping the Forest of last week turn up, if that happens i fancy us to win by a couple of goals.
Go out with a defensive mindset and we may well struggle, i certainly doubt we’ll keep a clean sheet.
It’s going to be another nervous afternoon, but please please please Forest, make it an afternoon to remember, for the right reasons.

Old boys Jack Robinson, and Anel Ahmedhodzic also start for them.

change back to 4-2-3-1.
T on the bench; hopefully we don't need him. Time for Woody to get his shooting boots back on.

I think how the blunts play will depend on who scores first. If we score first they could cave.
I dont want to think about what happens if they score first.

Aaagh - Woody misses another one

Looks like Wood is on form again, for missing, not scoring, he really has missed some sitters recently, and that was another one.

Awesome defending, penlaty to the blunts.
Scored by BB.
Only Forest.

Deserve to go down because of situations like that. Stupid stupid defending and we have given a poor team a goal and some confidence. No chance of a win now at all. Been done over by VAR this season but still defusing has cost us more

Players slipping all over the field, but Montiel slips in our area, he really needed to stay on his feet.
I didn’t expect a clean sheet, and i certainly won’t be disappointed.

This doesn't sound good.
How can we be so good one week and so poor the next

*stupid defending

Need to sign some proper soldiers in the summer. We have talent but lack enough fight a lot of the time.

Have Elanga and CHO had a touch yet?

posted on 4/5/24

Better - CHO with his first touch.
Trade mark goal

CHO has now

I'm taking some of the credit for that goal.

Yep, you can have an assist. .
We’ve had our warning. Now lets wake up and put some pressure on.

Can’t believe how good Murillo is, he is just about keeping us in this game, single handedly. He’s made some really well timed blocks.
