The Prophet

His distribution is petty woeful but he's a better keeper than Ramsdale, who just doesn't seem to save much at the moment.

Injured?

Fab's on the case, the cunt.

It's win win really. If it's three points then fantastic, but if not I haven't asked some serious questions for a while.

They've improved a lot of late, but we should still beat them. Pope Trippier Thiaw Botman Hall Tonali Bruno Joelinton Elanga Woltamade Barnes

Think we have something similar with an Irish club.

Beat PSV and PSG is the game I'd be rotating for.

He's more seasoned than Elanga so it might take a bit longer to completely crush his confidence. Hopefully some big misses v Wolves and it's open season.

Good shout, we could hire Jonathan Ross to protect his home too.

I'm pretty relaxed about it. I've seen plenty of employees of this club who didn't care and didn't bother to pretend otherwise. Elanga isn't one of those and he'll have my full support while that remains the case. He's struggling at the moment and I do feel a bit sorry for him. I don't think his time here has been as exclusively bad as is made out, but he's in a rut now and he'll need the support of his colleagues and fans to find his feet. We've seen Howe get a tune out of far worse players. I know nothing is going right for him at the moment, but his touch, crossing, finishing and confidence in himself have been pretty consistent for Forest for around two years, he's got it in his locker. It's shite that he hasn't hit the ground running, but he needs an arm round him rather than kicking when he's down.

Hopefully Wor Flags can do their bit bit with a "get out" or "not wanted" banner so we can move on to Gordon, he isnt going to hound himself out.

It's not Sandro's fault by any stretch, but the midfield looked far more balanced with Ramsey on. The middle three flatten out when Tonali's on, frustrating as we seemed to crack the shape last season too.

Yep, says far more about the fans than the player.

Par for the course, combine working class lads and lasses being priced out with an unjustifiably entitled fan population and you're going to get a middle class audience expecting to be entertained.

That Alleyn had a good game

He was very good in both games, but I wouldn't say we were hugely second best. We similarly played well last night, but City are capable of doing that to any side on the planet, Isak or not.

We could have still had Isak and still comfortably lost 0-2 last night. City are still a superior side who played well on the night. It happens.

Pep still on one in the press conference. Superb stuff.

I've watched us plenty of times this season and thought we were a mess, tonight wasn't one. We played well.

I disagree. He came through the ranks as a number nine, but he's still developing his game.

I don't know how you could possibly watch tonight and thought we lost due to the want of trying. We got beat by a good team who played very well on the night and finished us off with their ridiculous bench. Sure we missed a couple of decent chances. but it was hardly a meek performance. We've seen plenty enough of them this season to know.

Ridiculous feet in tight spaces.

He's shown a lot of talent and carried the goal scoring load early doors, beyond the expectation of most, myself included. However, he's struggled to attack the box of late and can't possibly develop, as per Isak. Like loads have said, don't know how he could possibly fit us and we should either play him wildly out of position or sell imminently.

...and a 100 minutes v Leeds.
