Golden Opportunity.

Darlow, Jara, Halford, Collins(c), Fox, Greening, Peltier, Osborn, Majewski, Paterson, Mackie


That was the team which played Ipswich at home last year

psychos a tactical genius!

McCarthy would never expect it!

I like the idea of 442 and think that Pearce should be looking to attack Ipswich with pace. Chambers always has a mistake in him and I would like to see Antonio and Hunt really taking the game to him down that flank. Wilson and McGoldrick are old friends from their County days. That is looking like an intriguing contest.

The players should be chomping at the bit after seeing how the results have favoured them today.

I really hope I am wrong but I get a feeling it's all set up for us to lose. I think a loss has been coming and tomorrow we might get it. I have supported forest to long and we always seem to take the hard route! And with so many ex players on the pitch, one of them is bound to nick a goal!

Hope I am wrong though. And even if we lose we won't lose much ground so it will still have been a great start.

I know exactly what you mean.
However, we are a very different animal this season. I don't think we would've picked up half the number of points last year (and for a few years before that tbh!) as we have this season.
Our defenders are literally putting their faces in the way of shots to keep a clean sheet. The level of determination and professionalism on show is amazing. Exactly what you'd expect with psycho at the helm.

Is it a tuff game? Yes.
But as a defensive unit we're as hard as coffin nails.

Look at it the other way. We haven't scored in 3 league games. Somebody is due a battering

And we wondered why we struggled at times last season!!!
Look at our squad now. Most of those lads (with all due respect!!!) wouldn't / don't get on the bench now!!

After Ramdini's thread about how many more posts Derby got on match threads, I donned a radiation suit and skimmed through their match thread for today's game. Before kick off the 'champions elect' boast was repeated.

I'd suggest that they get so many posts because four or five posters who don't go to games rabbit incessantly. (If they're at the ground they can't see much of the game as they're constantly typing). Not a great read.

But I should take this opportunity to congratulate them for getting one shot on target in a goalless draw against Millwall. After giving us stick for a goalless draw AWAY to Millwall.

Note that Watford were held at home by Brighton (as we were last weekend). Wolves held at home by Wigan - our recent draws don't look quite so bad. As for Norwich... another reminder that there are few easy games in this division.

So I won't even try to predict tomorrow's score. As it should be, it's all up for grabs and could go either way. If Fryatt starts though, I'd hope we come out on top.

Yes part_time, totally agree. Nothing is easy in this paper/scissors/stones of a league - as a few of the other 6 six found out yesterday.

Good luck all. Let's hope the Reds can pull something out of the bag.

I've got this funny feeling that the big bloke........ N'ah, forget it.

Ipswich fans are playing up the fact they haven't spent a bean on transfers in a while compared to the Reds. Think their team will be one of the toughest Forest have come up against so far. Very much in McCarthy's image. Going to be a few cards dished out in this one, I think. Hope we can keep out calm heads and take advantage of set pieces a bit more (Lansbury!).

6 six ??
