Absolutely surrounded by forest fans at work… All of whom seem fairly confident on the back of the thrashing of Leicester and their win at Blackburn (and rightly so).
However they seem to have forgotten that they were in a similarly strong position when we beat them 4-1 (Ultimately costing them a place on the play-offs I think?)
The best part of the forest fans is their complete inability To take the piss out of themselves. One workmate keeps saying “we’re going to batter you and Surridge will get the winner”
It takes the wind from his sails when I reply with ‘well we are Stoke city and we like to make life difficult for ourselves so probably” - think he’s looking for an argument tbh and upset that he can’t get one

How can they batter us and Surridge gets the winner? Batter us by 1 goal? Looking at their message board it stinks of hubris. I think they'll win most likely thanks to a dubious ref (the idiot who sent off Delap v Barnsley?) but would LOVE it if we pissed on their parade.

We are more than capable of beating them, to be honest I will be annoyed if we don't. Blackburn have looked poor, and Leicester don't seem anywhere as good as last season. It's a match worth more than 3 points(so to speak) as it gains us ground on those above.

We absolutely thrashed them in 2020, one of our best results to win 4-1 and Ty had a blinder. Please repeat Stoke! I noticed this morning the local paper are using that result as motivation for tomorrow. Not only did we thrash them but that result meant Swansea (ironically managed by Cooper) took Forest's place in the playoffs. If we'd only beaten them 3-1 they'd have kept their place.

From the far too many times I’ve seen them on telly lately Forest look a dynamic team who have certainly got the wind in their sails. I worry about our defences ability to keep them at bay. Having said that our squad with addition of the loanees is every bit a match for theirs - and then some. It’s a big one tactically for MON and if he gets it right there is every chance of a good result. I too have a premonition that the ref could play a big part in this one and , last Tues apart , that usually isn’t good news for us.

Agree about the referee premonition especially because Cooper is manager. I remember the referee being conned into giving Swansea a winning penalty against us back when he was their manager.

It was an own-goal as well if I recall correctly? What a great way to piss on their own chips!

We've battered teams and lost several times in the Championship. I even thought it was going to happen on Tuesday when Bursik made that horrendous pass.

I think he'll be a late sub at most, as he hasn't had the time to get used to the team, and they to him. They have a winning team they might not want to break up for his sake. Of course the last 15-20 mins is where you're quite likely to concede, as legs and minds could be tired. If necessary, such as if we're defending a narrow lead, we shouldn't shy away from subbing in a player to look after him especially. If he's not in the starting eleven, it could be a job for Moore. Bully him a little; he might help getting himself sent off, as we know he eaily does.

Seems surprising that Michael is prioritising HB over Moore given that Moore is our own player. Or has he been injured?

I work with plenty of Forest fans and they are getting really cocky after Sunday, but to be fair Lester didn’t turn up. Nothing less than a Stoke win please.

Massive game tomorrow so just wish the lads good fortune and every one going a good day out!
It is just 3 points but a big pointer to the future unless ref or injury affects the game.
Go on Stoke!

Stating the obvious,I would settle for a draw after their recent performances but there is no reason why we can't go Forest and win. I just hope MON sets us up similar as the Swansea game and has a go at them.We look impressive when we attack.
GGGOOOAAARRRNNN STOKE.
