One match ban enabled

Paul Taylor is writing that Colback had a stormer against Reading and the debate has been about where he should play.
So unless he's carrying a knock he is likely to stay DCM. Yates is suspended after reaching 5 yellows. So Colback is likely to partner James Garner in midfield who also had a good game when he came on.
Cooper has said that he see's Garner as an integral first team starter and not just as a second half substitute.

Just as important is whether Grabban is fit enough to start. Should be easier to beat Luton rather than W.Brom for example.

Can we risk Gate and Bong?

Good post Mc.

You place too much on form though - it’s the Championship.

I don’t think SC will make that many changes. Bong a LWB, Garner CDM.

Is Horvath available after his midweek Red card?

I’m thinking we could get two wins this week. Hope I haven’t jinxed it.

You’ve jinxed it red 😉

Forest: Samba; Spence, Worrall, McKenna, Colback; Ojeda, Garner; Lolley, Zinckernagel, Johnson, Taylor. Subs: Horvath, Figueiredo, Grabban, Carvalho, Bong, Mighten, Cafu.

I was miles off!!

I’m quite looking forward to this one, Luton are quite open and like to attack, should definitely be goals on this one. Our line up is interesting to say the least, but I gave up trying to figure out what’s a good team line up and what’s not, along time ago. I’l go with Steve’s knowledge and fancy a 3-1 Garibaldi win.

any one else having issues with forest tv

just getting picture but no sound just a beeping noise

The touches that Ojeda has had have been very assured. I quite like what I'm seeing...

Lots of endeavour, lacking quality. Neither keeper has made a save, all a bit tame, needs something to spark the game into life.

Brice should give Taylor some tips on how to control a ball.😁

Really poor first half, not at all what I expected. Luton are time wasting at every opportunity, we’ve created little and still neither keeper has made a save. The most interesting question is will Taylor get subbed or sent off, he is both frustrated and frustrating.

Jonno has moved over to the right. That's where I prefer to see him...

Luton keeper finally makes a save.

Penalty to Luton, red card for Colback, from a corner that should have been a goal kick.

Brilliant by Brice 👍

No shots on target - is that what you get when you don’t play Grabben?

We really should be beating teams like Luton at home - our home form is still so inconsistent and results are poor

Saying all that - playing 30 minutes with only 10 men, a point isn’t perhaps so bad

Odeja looked very good indeed. Grabban should have started but guess he needed a rest. Just shows we really need another striker if we can get one in Jan. Not great result but lucky not to lose after the red card. We really need to hold onto Worrall at all costs, he will definitely be a Prem player soon enough

Good result in the end. Fantastic heart to see the game out.

The LB / LWB issue intensifies with Colback suspended.

I thought Ojeda did brilliantly in his first start. Would have been my MotM otherwise.

good point ..thought we were going to collapse when Colback was sent off
Ojeda looks promising
We should have had a penality.
Taylor waste of space
Samba was the man..his second save was better than the penality save , really thought it had gone in.

I guess that’ll teach me to look forward to a Forest home game. We were hopeless, no communication between midfield and attack, discipline was poor, we were lucky to get away with a point at home to Luton. Officials were absolutely appalling, the corner which led to the penalty was a blatant goal kick, we got a free kick a yard outside the box that was definitely inside. All things considered a point isn’t too bad in the circumstances.

Spot on about Brice, he was excellent, as was Worrall.
Too many others looked tired and a bit jaded.

It was only just over a week ago dat some of yours were talking about the play offs being a certainty !

No...it was me!

If we keep our players I can still see us finishing in the top six.

Third in the form table over the last ten games with 1.9 PPG.

Keep that up and we are guaranteed to finish top six.

Note* Updated from current form table over the last ten games - we will finish on 75 points.

However, we have a few great players but not a great squad. Lowe missing is a big loss and we need another striker, no more injuries and to keep hold of what we have got. It's all a big IF of course.
