Guest Boqueron Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I was there for that - and the replay(s). I told my boss i has a dental appointment for the first one. It was harder to explain the 2nd replay and i ended up jobless. Worth it though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 What are people doing for pubs before the match? Mate i'm staying with in nottingham is suggesting somewhere called the meadow club or something cos it's a notts county pub that lets away fans in and it's 5 mins from the ground apparently. Any other suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Do Forest have any big strikers? Simpson did ok at CB last time but he's going to struggle in the air if they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 He did OK against Leicester but was bloody hopeless against Huddersfield. Coloccini has to make it or we're screwed, basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 It's Taylor who we'll miss most, Coloccini plays no better than most of the CBs in the league. Plus I think we'll be fine as long as the midfield do their job, Taylor-Colo has never really been tested that much this season because we've never really played anyone good, last season the midfield were non-existent and so we ended up making loads of defensive errors. We'd probably survive with Simpson-Kadar at CB against Forest in as long as Smith and Nolan are on top form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 When we played the best attacking team in the league (apparently!) in Cardiff, we sat back from 70 mins and they still didn't even come close to scoring really. The strikers in this league are crap and, as I say, as long as the midfield are playing well, we'll easily beat most teams in this league, even with experienced back lines.

Ronaldo Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 We had Taylor and Coloccini in the defence that day. And Cardiff missed two clear cut chances and should have had a penalty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I know we did, Colo ain't all he's cracked up to be, he still looks shaky even that this level. Cardiff missed two clear cut chances and still didn't score (fair enough on the pen though), this doesn't bode well for the league though when the supposedly best attacking team can't score with 70 mins of attack v defence.

J7 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 For the pubs, i reckon we'll be going to them round the centre, then heading to a pub for away fans nearer the ground, assuming there is any. Probably just follow the Newcastle crowd when we get off th train. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
