Changes for Sunday

I think Billy Davies said in the post Huddersfield presser that he would put out a strong team so I don't expect many changes.
Anyone with minor injuries won't be risked I don't suppose.
There could be starts for Hendo, Derbyshire, Abdoun, Collins, Harding. They won't let us down.
Players would sooner play than train.
It is a slight worry though that Sheff U haven't had a midweek game, and Fester will have had ten days off before they play us.

No way would I play that 11. They will definitely lose! This is a great chance to get to the QF of the FA cup so we should go for it. Definitely give De Vries another game as he looked very good against Preston. I'd probably give Henderson and Harding starts. I would like to see Gomis but is he eligible?

Ahh the perils of not losing a game...

Probably will be a factor against Leicester in truth, so a few rested legs - not as many as above like - might not be a terrible idea.

I would make 3-4 changes max need to put a strong enough team out Give De Vries a game definitely, would also like to see McLaughlin and Gomis get a game provided they have Hobbs and Reid beside them respectively to help them.

No, keep on playing. There won't be much training going on at this point in the season. It will be mainly team meetings about the next game and tactical work outs. The players fitness comes from playing games.
I would give De Vries a go as I think it would be good to keep him sharp and put Henderson in against his old team but apart from that, I wouldn't tinker.
Win or get a draw up in Sheffield and roll into Fester, who would rather be playing than resting. They won't want to lose their competitive edge by kicking their heels this weekend.

Plus, I have a real loathing for Sheffield Uninted and want to see Forest grind them into the dust as we still owe them for 2003.

I'd go with

-----------De Vries---------
Halford--Hobbs-Lascelles--Fox
---------------Jara---------------
Mackie------Maj------Abdoun
-------Hendo-----Djabour

Darlow
Collins
Harding
Pato
Reid
Cox
Derbyshire

I'd start Djebbour and Gomis, along with Abdoun if he's fit. No point in signing players if they can't play a part in the rest of the season. Maybe play Harding instead of Fox though, let's not go crazy.
