One match ban enabled

You're still not over Saturday are you Bear? You say he needs to pick forwards who can score, but then you say drop Guerrero. I know he hasn't scored and missed a couple on Saturday but who would replace him? Grabban hasn't scored either but I don't think he's fit anyway.

I'm of the opposite opinion; I'd go defensive tonight. Leave out Guerrero and bring in Arter. I'd also start with Sow.

I'd even be tempted to play four FBs two as wide midfielders.

Samba
Jenkinson Figs McK Ioannou
Christie Sow Colback Ribs
Arter
Taylor

Won't happen tho'

When you think that your team is struggling through a rough patch it's always a relief to have Derby County as your near neighbours, who through a stroke of pure fvck-wittery employ the Fake Dutchman for the 5TH TIME!

He did have them playing well at Dierby though.

The thing is that we all know that Grabban will score once he gets himself fit and zeroed in.

What again? Yates then

We need to concede no more than one goal tonight to have a chance of getting anything from this game.

Difficult, but not impossible. The FBS need to be FBs and stop their wide men causing problems like Saturday. Wide midfielders need to take more defensive responsibilty as well

Can After play no 10? what about Joe Lolly perhaps our best outlet for a goal?

Will Swan on the bench

Has Mighten gone on loan?

Mighten apparently has a knock.

Would sooner have seen Mbe Soh than Figs, he’s been a liability recently. Tough game tonight a draw would be an excellent result, with a clean sheet a real bonus. Tbh I don’t think we’ll get either.

I don't think we will get anything either Dave, but I would like to see a good attitude and for us to not let our heads drop if we do go behind.

Fecking iFollow.

"This match has been selected to be shown by our international partners."

In my case, DAZN (Spain). They are not showing it. Not showing the Swansea game either.

Anyone know of a stream?

I would really like to see us take the lead early on, just to see how we would react.

We’d all love that Dave! Quite a defensive line up. Ribs maybe needed a rest but Bong is a worry. Bournemouth have some very good attacking players and we have two defensively dodgy fullbacks.

If the teams positions were reversed, we were second and at home to a team in 20th place we'd expect to just turn up and take the points. Then the opposite would happen as we slip up on another banana skin.

Why does it never happen in our favour?

I like the defensive line up. Keep it tight and try to keep a clean sheet for 70 minutes then perhaps be a bit adventurous.

When your near the bottom away to second in the league I'd prefer to try to hang on to the point we start with.

Red, it matters not who we are at home too, I never feel confident. Years ago the CG was a fortress, first season under Billy, these days I doubt anyone fears an away day at the CG.

I also never feel confident with Forest. There were a few times last season when it was an away game i thought we had a good chance. Lamouchi certainly got us playing well against the top sides. But we’ve been useless against so called smaller sides for a long time, probably 10 years.

Ribs comes in for Bong who has been injured in the warm up
