Forest v Newcastle - Match Thread

Third in the league…however long it lasts…it’s certainly been worth the very long wait. 



With the signing of Edu (as Group Sporting Emperor) we have gone up another level off the pitch. His impact won’t be immediate, but it might be felt as early as January…especially if we remain in and around the European spots. 



Newcastle sparks the start of a very tough run of games: 



Newcastle (H) - 11th 


Arsenal (A)*** - 5th 

Ipswich (H) - 18th 

M. City (A) - 2nd

M. United (A) - 13th 

A. Villa - 6th 

Brentford (A) - 12th
Spurs - 7th



If we can get a good haul from those? The second half of the season looks a lot more promising…one game at a time! 






West Ham:



The Good: Everything, everywhere, all at once!



The Bad: Fabianski...why did you play so well?! 



The Ugly: Summerville kicking Yates. Surely a VAR review and red card! The one on MGW was also worthy of a red! 



Special Mention(s): Smells like teen spirit. We could have had 5 or 6…again!

League Form:



Newcastle - the last six:



W1-0 @ Home to Newcastle

L2-1 @ Chelsea

L1-0 @ Home to Brighton

D0-0 @ Brentford

D0-0 @ Home to City

L3-1 @ Fulham



They are W1 D2 L2 away this season. 





Prediction:





Looking back to the last time we played, we had a much weaker side defensively…our goals conceded…all poor defensively…our options off the bench in that loss? Danilo…Origi and Reyna. No wonder we didn’t get back into it!

With City away to Brighton…and Villa away at Liverpool…we could find ourselves a point behind City and three behind the scousers.

Do we need any more incentive?

Momentum, team spirit and the Geordie Maradana making them regret ever selling us Shelvey! 



3-1 to Forest. 






Final Words:



Let’s keep dreaming lads!!!



COYRs!!!!
