Doesn't sound like it but its usually a brutalist fixture. Last good game I remember was the one of Woan infamy, so brutalist in a different way.

We were very good in the Isak last minute penalty game. Willock missed a gaping chance early doors, hit the bar twice, had a goal incorrectly chalked off by VAR. Unreal away end as well.

 

Last season was a bit more nip and tuck as we were incredibly slack defensively. We look to have ironed out that issue at SJP, need to sort it away.

Big test of the away form. One of the oddities of the fixture list is pre Christmas are all of the ‘easy’ away games, and it’s been a poor return so far. After Xmas have Arsenal, Villa, Brighton, city, spurs and Liverpool away,  so it’s quite possible the second half of the season will end up with a lower points tally than the first

 

Need to get a good se rod results from the next five away

I expect us to see a lot more of the ball than the Chelsea and Arsenal wins. Theie possession stats this season are some of the lowest in the league.
 

Hard to leave Willock or Longstaff out after two decent performances and results. But it isn’t Colts football. You can change a winning side. 
 

I’d like to see Tonali come in for this one.

Weirdly despite Forest flying and our away form being poor I am relaxed about this game , don't think we will get beat at all. Forest are nowhere near as good as the table shows and I am confident we will get a draw at worst.

Really hope we can start to perform on the road. Big test to see if we are turning a corner or not. 


Totally agree, we have to back up that win against Arsenal with a performance at Forest. I’d love a win, would take a point but it’s more about how we perform. At least the players will be going into this full of confidence.

Have a gut feeling that Anderson is gonna score his debut goal in this fixture. But still confident winning this. 

Be interesting to see if he starts as he didn't at the weekend there. They went with Yates and dominguez and MGW in front

Win this and our season is right back on track. Would put us firmly in the top four mix, with a home QF against Brentford to come. 

 

Alternatively, lose it and we may as well fold the season.

Anderson didn’t start because he’d had a knock in training.

If we neutralize their wingers we win. If they get another game where our high defensive line is exposed for pace, we'll probably lose.

Schar, Burn and Joelinton all on 4 yellow cards going into this. Hopefully both of the former don't get cautions otherwise we'll be fucked going into West Ham :lol:

Anyone done Forest Away by car before?  Never tend to drive to aways and looking for parking suggestions if anyone has one.

 

@LFEE found some spot on street parking for the cup game earlier this season. Looking at Google Maps I’m tempted to say it might have been Trevelyan Road, but I’m sure he’ll confirm and correct if necessary.

Have a funny feeling them being in good form and at home will play into our hands a little bit. Think this could be an exciting game that we might just knick. It's a must not lose as opposed to a must win game though.

That's one aspect of our game  we don't seem to address which is needless yellows.
