HaydnNUFC Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Just now, Nobody said: And that would be perfectly fine seeing as he played really well against both Chelsea and Arsenal. Well, that depends on how Forest set up, really. If they allow us the lion's share of possession and counterattack on us, Longstaff in CM will be pointless as has been seen already this season in an away game where we had most of the ball (initially, anyway), where he was substituted and we went on to win the game at Wolves. Longstaff is useful in the games like last week but not in games where we need to break opposition who are sat deep down imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was smart. Not stupid. It was also cheating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it wasn't preplanned, and he decided to do it when the opportunity presented itself. Or in other words, impulsive... 😄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Gonna be tricky. But kinda like that their good start takes some edge out of it - should be just win however we can, bollocks to the manner of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_once_removed Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 I feel confident. I think it's finally coming together for us and Forest are decent but not as good as their last few games suggest and all good runs have to come to an end. The former player curse is a concern but I suspect it doesn't actually stand up to much statistical analysis, so I'm not focusing on that. If Wood scores it's because he's full of confidence not because he used to play for us. As for Tonali, Bruno or Longstaff, if he's fit Bruno starts he's captain after all. Between Tonali and Longstaff I just trust Howe's judgement on this, we need to get to the point where players drop in and out of the team and it is seen as purely a tactical decision rather than one based on the overall quality of a player.

PauloGeordio Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 We just need to give then a game like we can at home. Pressing with measured intensity. Hopefully their open game will play into our hands. Our form is on the up and confidence is good. Forest are due a loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 We will beat this lot tomorrow, their home form isn’t anything special and it has been their smash and grab performances on the road that has earned them credit. At home they have lost to Fulham, drew with Wolves and Bournemouth and beaten Palace and West Ham, who had Alvarez sent off in the first half. If we don’t give them space to hit us on the counter then we can outplay this lot quite comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can stop the opposition scoring, I am pretty confident we can find at least one goal ourselves, so I think Eddie will want us at our most disciplined tomorrow, and defending from the front.

frankpingel Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Things can obviously change quickly but it does feel like tomorrow could be pivotal to our season. Win and we're right in the mix, and with confidence, for a European place. The alternative may be recoverable but with an international break pending the table will not look good.
