Didn't realise how poor their form is, same starting 11 for us and lets go and put at least 3 past them

This is the one I thought we'd win tbh, mainly because Forest are fucking awful.

It matters a lot. We are in the middle of an unbeaten run - we haven't been that very often in recent years. Win one more and we have quite a momentum to carry into the new season, where we have the unbeaten run to protect. Obviously no one knows the early fixtures yet, but with a bit of luck in that regard, we could carry that on for a decent sequence. If we do, we are then already well on our way towards a successful season.

I reckon it will be a draw. Our lads will be knackered after what they put in on Saturday. Look out for a few changes in our team. The last thing Michael O'Neil will want to do is to come out of the game with any of his midfielders suffering from long-term injuries, which can come about because players' legs are tired.
OS.

I'd like to see Sorensen, Oakley-Boothe and Collins get 90 minutes:
Davies
Smith Batth Collins Martins Indi
Sorensen Cousins
Campbell Oakley-Boothe McClean
Gregory
I wouldn't risk Powell and Clucas if they're still carrying knocks, it's pointless.....

Incredible to think that if we win, we’ll better last seasons points total. Unthinkable 8 months ago. This should be motivation for us to go out and try to beat them.

The home game seems like only yesterday. Weren’t we leading then went 3-1 down and lost by the odd goal in the end. This was then followed by the Huddersfield home defeat. This period was my low point for the season and I genuinely thought we were screwed. Praise be to MON.

What does that say for us? Their league position is much better. We're shit, obviously. Over the last 29 games, we have now collected more points than Forest. It says that we were most definitely shit under Jones, but we’re we’re not as shit now

Unlikely to happen given what MON said in his post-match interview. Thinks the youngsters need to do more to get their chance. Will only see this if Clucas and Powell aren't fit.

They played a day later than us so I hope they're even tireder than us Can't see them blowing their chances of getting in the playoffs, and I don't really hate them, but it would be funny to somehow help them cock it up...although I'd prefer Cardiff to sign something guaranteeing they will mess up the actual playoff games too.

O'Neil may rest one or two but he's got an eye on next season already and has said he sees these games as part of our preseason preparation. Forest are on a bad run and are there for the taking and having beaten Brentford I think O'Neill will be looking to get the team believing they should be the ones up there next season. Winning is a habit.

I agree. Clucas and Powell shouldn't play. They've both been carrying knocks so absolutely crackers to risk a long term injury.

It is important to try and end the season on a high to promote a good atmosphere and do everything possible to convince potential signings and some of our expensive loaned players that the club is on the up and going places.
Same winning team for me, fitness permitting.

Given Forest still haven't 100% secured their play off place (piss poor from them given the points they had on the return) would expect a strong line up from Stoke

Post by leicspotter on Jul 20, 2020 17:53:15 GMT
It would take a 6 goal turn around (and Cardiff not to lose) for Forest to miss out...and I know a lad in Notts who would just LOVE that to happen Can't see it myself, but would still like a comfortable Stoke win, which is also unlikely..but we can but hope
