Still don't know why we let him play against us. 😒 Was what brought the rule about iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcher Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 “Brennan has a groin strain. We do not know how bad it is. He will have a scan,” said Cooper. “It would be (a massive blow to lose him), yes. He has been a really important player for us. We will see how he is. Let’s see if it settles down. Fingers crossed it is not as severe as these things can be.” The best-case scenario is that Johnson misses only the Newcastle game on Friday. After that, Forest have 14 days without a match due to the international break (during which Johnson will hope to feature for Wales) before facing Wolves at home.

Doctor Zaius Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Think we'll beat them, especially if Johnson is out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 They've got a pretty decent home record, or at least don't lose many at all. We really could do with getting another win but it won't be easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 They were awful against Spurs. Genuinely just gifted Spurs possession. Our midfield can out run theirs twice over. I really like Gibbs-White. Deal with him and we win IMO. Was critical of Bruno vs Wolves so I'm expecting a masterclass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 We could face Colback, Wood and Shelvey. Imagine they would be motivated to do well. Thankfully it takes more than motivation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 When I’ve seen them they seem to play a very open game whatever the situation which is always a good thing for us. If Johnson is out that is a massive boost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawalls Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 On 13/03/2023 at 06:00, Stottie said: They're unbeaten in five at home, 2-3-0. Last five away, we're 1-3-1 with the defeat at the Etihad. Form suggests a draw, so we'll have to be on it to get more. If we do manage it, the payoff is big. It will improve our post-World Cup form to a much more respectable 17 points from 11 games. 1.5 points a game from then on, that is, another 18 points from final 12 matches, would take us to 65 points, which should be a strong shout for fourth given the points everyone else are dropping. Looking at our season so far, it looks like the most important thing for us is momentum. Rather than being strong home or away, against teams at the bottom, or teams that play a certain way, we're where we are due to playing well for 10 games or so on a roll. We need to get that going again. The key to this consistency imo is getting a midfielder or two chipping in with some goals. Concerned me it was the usual suspects scoring again on Sunday with Bruno and Botman yet again missing sitters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcher Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 A win here would be glorius going into the break. Fancy a close 2-1 win again. Willock is due a goal and I think Isak will get another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I'd be more than happy to see Shelvey start for them, we'll have him blowing out of his arse after 15 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bada Bing Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I think we'll win. Isak, ASM and Willock will be too much for them on the transition. Plus Bruno pinging those balls around. We got this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Anything less than a win is no good if we want fourth. We probably need to win 8 or 9 out of the last 13 to get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Was talking to a bloke in work about this fixture, when another bloke piped up and told me about our first recorded win against these which was back in 1900. I thought that was a canny colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
