Forest and Cooper united once again. Let’s hope it’s classic Cooper (season 2), as opposed to season 1.
Palace:
The Good: Wood’s finish. What a fantastic strike.
The Bad: Another goal to finish it off? I couldn’t find anything to complain apart.
The Ugly: Even the ref had a great game.
Special Mention(s): Has to be Anderson for me! The Geordie Maradona!!!
The Last Time we played Leicester (H) W2-0!! Johnson with both goals.
Henderson
Aurier Worrall McKenna Lodi
Freuler Mangala Yates
Johnson Scarpa MGW
(I couldn’t work out the formation!!)
Proposed Line-up:
Sels
Aina Milenkovic Murillo
Moreno
Yates Dominguez
Silva Anderson Elanga
Wood
Subs:
Miguel, Boly, Morato, Williams, Moreira, JWP, CHO, Sosa, Awoniyi
Injuries: Danilo, MGW, Sangare
Not selected: Omobamidele, Toffolo
(I’m just not sure CHO will be fit enough to start?)
League Form:
Leicester - the last six:
2-1 Loss @ Home to Villa
2-2 Draw @ Palace
1-1 Draw @ Home to Everton
4-2 Loss @ Arsenal
1-0 Win @ Home to Bournemouth
3-2 Win @ Southampton (losing 2-1 until a 🟥 for the Saints)
Not a bad set of results that! Will be a tough game!
Prediction:
Wasn’t sure on our line-up. CHO could be a big miss…we could go all out midfield again with JWP back?
They’ll be tough to beat…but beating them puts us in 5th…5th!!! I think our defence has enough to keep it tight.
A 3-1 win. Forest to score first…Wood with a brace.
Final Words:
COYRs!!!!

Great to see that we are still pushing for a fourth and not trying to soak up pressure.

Our Fans are now all you can hear with that cheeky Cooper chant about hating the Leicester. 🤣🤣🤣

What a season so far. Great second half. Totally controlled the game.

You called it right Chile
Great night, very good game
Could have been more but I suppose for Cooper’s sake probably a good thing. Hope he bounces back

What a night for Forest! We’ve finally broken that winless run at Leicester since 2013 with a solid 3-1 victory. Forest were absolutely relentless in both halves, while Leicester faded after the break. By full-time, the boos were out in force from the Leicester faithful, frustrated to see their side slip to 14th after two wins on the bounce.
Chris Wood deserves every bit of praise tonight. His double not only sealed the win but put him level with Stan Collymore as our 2nd top Premier League scorer with 22, just two off Bryan Roy’s record. Wood’s form has been massive for us, helping push Forest up to 5th place—our best start since the 1994-95 season when we finished 3rd. Nuno’s got this team firing, and credit to Anderson, Hudson-Odoi, and Yates for backing Wood up with solid performances all around.
To top it off, the fans gave “Agent Cooper” a proper Forest serenade. Good to see the ex-boss now on the receiving end as we march on. Forest are truly back on the rise! 🌳🔥

It also helps when VAR doesn’t intervene, two games we’ve played recently, and won, have involved the sum total of NIL VAR reviews, though tbh there has been nothing to review.
Second half tonight was as good a second half performance I’ve seen from us in quite a while.
Two things obviously stand out, Woody has found his scoring boots, and defensively, we don’t go into meltdown every time we face a set play.
Full credit to Nuno and the team, onwards and upwards, one slight concern, he count get the dreaded Manager of the Month award, absolute curse.
As stated above FIFTH, barely believable, imagine if we hadn’t been robbed, by VAR, against Fulham. .

Leicester going down.
At least they'll be able to resume the world famous M69 derby with Cov.

Watched on NowTV, glad I went for their monthly sports pass offer.
Forest shaded an even first half, went in 1-1, but the second half was worth the monthly fee on its own. World class goals from Wood, could have had five, and the last 25 minutes were played with pipe and slippers, shockingly better than the Foxes.
Magical moment was Aina looking for a moment like he'd trodden on the ball inside our box, then knocking it one side of their player and running round the other, bursting into their half and being fouled - the second Leicester player to bring him down and see yellow.
Awesome performance (though it was only Leicester).
