This could be a cracking match
Think we will go 352
Maja and Brown up front
However if we do go 433 it could be a right shoot out

Every chance that it could go to 3-3. Or 4-4.

Humdinger. We need to take it to them and try to win the game.

Nothing to fear. Need to get at their back three as they are dog slow, and their keeper is utter shit.
Our forwards should have a field day.

We have to try and stop Spence and Johnson who have been causing havoc down the Forest right.It’ll be interesting to see how O’Neill will try and combat that with the way we set up but after watching that tonight I for one am looking forward to the City Ground on Saturday |

We’ve got to play on the front foot and back ourselves. Spence can’t hurt us if JPB keeps him penned into his own half. We’ve got to win 10 out of last 17 games so we may as well just bloody go for it. |

Couldn’t agree more mate but i just wonder if he’ll change to try and nullify them or just go for it like you say🤔 |

We cannot afford not to go for it in every game here on in, as we try to catch up lost ground - keep the same starting XI save Maja for the injured Campbell. Bring Thommo onto the bench.

17 games.
Nine wins.
Five draws.
Three losses.
It's enough.

I think their keeper getting a bit of stick but personally think he's ok despite a couple of errors lately.
On a good run but expecting us to go there and get something. We've beaten better sides.

We've got Tymon and JPB down that side, the latter was excellent tracking back last night. Absolutely nothing to fear. Get them beat. Game on. |

Yes Doughty played very well on his debut against them for sure and O’Neill commented post match about JPB’s tracking back last night so yes let’s hope it’s our pair causing them trouble |

Blackburn will hopefully kick lumps out of them tonight in a game marred by 4 red cards. To both teams.

Whatever happens on the pitch, it should be a cracker off it.
A perfect away day game.
Anyone know how many Stokies are heading across?

We should target their RB who is brilliant going forward but next to useless at defending!

My gut feeling is he'll adjust things slightly and go 4-3-3 rather than 4-2-3-1:
Bursik
Wilmott
THB
Jagielka
Tymon
Allen
Baker
Powell
Brown
Maja
JPB
Subs: Bonham, Smith, Moore, Thompson, Clucas, DWP, Fletcher

Same side that wiped the floor with the Swans, but Madge to start over Campbell. Cardiff beat them not long ago, they're not invincible and better to die on our feet than, er, die on our knees.

We will need to keep there crowd quiet early on as they will be up for it after thrashing Leicester at the weekend.
If we can do that i see us going on to control game.

MON has to go for it shit or bust.
One point would be a good result on the day against Forest who are in cracking form but draws are not good enough heading into the business end of the season with ground to make up.

Much tougher game than last night and Wigan for certain, Swansea are absolute shite, seen a few of their games before last night. Our defence will be tested in this one, still not convinced by Bursik or any other of the keepers either. Still think it could be a costly mistake letting davies go
Safe betting is both teams to score imo

Forest fan told me they still sing about winning the European Cup (fair enough) Do we have any witty songs to pre-empt this e.g. about Cloughie or Malmö being toss opposition
