Thankfully that is over with. Blackpool were decent and caused a lot of problems to our hugely depleted AFCON / Injured squad,
Anyway, the joy of playing a L1 team is out of the way, and we must move on to Brentford.
The Good: Huge character from the lads - the future looks bright!
The Bad: Danilo needs to play both halves of football.
The Ugly: Blackpool. Vlach is awful. Worrall…your time is up Captain!
Special Mention: Aguilera - created 3-4 great chances. He could be some player.
The Last Time we played (Brentford (H) - 1-1): Dominguez for us (Niakhate stupidly sent off)
Turner
Aurier Boly Murillo Niakhate
Sangare Mangala Dominguez
Elanga Awoniyi CHO
We’ll be missing some key players for this one!!
Proposed Lineup:
Turner
Montiel McKenna Murillo Toffolo
Mangala Yates
Danilo
Aguilera Wood Dominguez
Subs:
Vlachula, Omobamidele, Worrall, Tavares, Williams, CHO, Gardner, McDonnell, Osong
Bare bones!!!
Injuries:
Awoniyi, Elanga, Felipe, MGW, Origi.
Murillo, Omobamidele, CHO and Danilo are all injury doubts!!
Laughing @ Derby:
Hennessy (feeling lonely)
AFCON:
Aina, Aurier, Boly, Niakhate, Kouyate and Sangare.
Form:
Forest (A) - W1 D2 L3 GF6 GA13 - 15th (15th in the Away Form table)
Brentford (H) - W3 D0 L3 GF11 GA10 - 16th (14th in the Home Form table)
1 win and 1 draw in ten for them!!
Prediction:
3-1 to Forest. We’re very light and yes, Toney is back. However, their form is atrocious and hopefully he (Toney) isn’t match fit. Plus, he’s publicly stated he wants to move to Arsenal / Chelsea - how committed will he be?!
They are also injury hit missing Mbeumo and Wissa (at AFCON).
Final Words:
COYRs!!!!

How many games have we lost by the odd goal in five this season?

That’s because we consistently concede 3 goals in away games

There is a list of some of the worst strikers in the premier league we have conceded too this season sadly!

Listening to Sky sports bang on about Toney you would think he had been unfairly imprisoned for crimes he had not committed.
It's as if they don't understand that he bought the whole integrity of the game in to disrepute. At least Toffolo has held his hands up and is doing a lot in the back ground to help people with addictions and mental health problems.

If we could fix that we would be pushing for Europe. We had half our first team out and most of our attacking players and still pushed them all the way. We did not deserve to lose but it does point to better days ahead.
