Nucasol Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Think we’re on the schizophrenic performances for the next few weeks. Can see: - Beat the Scabs next week - Then get beat by Liverpool 3-0 in midweek without laying a glove on them - Turn up and beat Brighton in the cup - Lose to West Ham on the Monday - ???? In the final Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Either were gonna get battered and the Howe thread gets bumped every 5 minutes mid game Or we'll turn up and beat them. No in-between Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Genuinely can’t call this game. On paper, they should beat us with their pace on counter and us likely going to be more open due to it being at home. But then they’re also not really a good team, like a solid mid table side across the season where those sides we should be beating at home. But then we’ve lost to Brighton, West Ham and Bournemouth at home all to different styles. At this stage of season, I just want wins. Performances are in the dirt now, just about grinding out the results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 What’s key for our games, is getting the first goal. We don’t seem very good at coming from behind at home to get a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say Bournemouth are similarly in a false position? No. Bournemouth have been excellent nearly every time I’ve seen them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Forest are good and the league is tight, so a draw wouldn't be the end of the world. However, it feels like we really need a win here to rejuvenate the league form and arrest what could become a slide. That winning streak was always going to end at some point and the big test was going to be about how we reacted. I don't think there's any sugarcoating that it's been a bit of a shitshow so far, satisfying cup wins notwithstanding. It would be unbearably depressing if we totally replicate 2023's pre-final slump. Everyone needs to turn up; coach, players, fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 If we don’t leave ourselves high up the pitch exposed for counter attacks then we should win this one quite comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 4 hours ago, HaydnNUFC said: Forest are where they are on merit and are a good side, they must be, but whenever I’ve watched them they’ve never looked good. They did win 7-0 recently tbf but games like Wolves away where they won 0-3 massively flattered them. And we took them apart in the second half at the City Ground back in November; no one since has managed to win there. We need to win for any sort of CL push imo. Lose it and we’ll need to collect 10 more points than them between now and the end of the season to finish above them. Can’t see that happening. They've got a couple of very dangerous players in MGW and Elanga. Wood is scoring a lot of goals this season, but if the CBs don't take their eye off the ball, he's easy enough to snuff out of a game. He's just a target man at the end of the day. We know where the danger is coming from, we should be able to impose our game and watch for the sucker punch accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal like, but thankfully we haven't been behind that much. Interesting stats. Only Man City have won more points from losing positions than us this season. Away from home, we're top of the chart for points won after falling behind. At home, we're 15th. www.transfermarkt.us/premier-league/punktenachrueckstand/wettbewerb/GB1/plus/?saison_id=2024&spiele=heim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Just show up this time please. I want to see Livra and Miley from the start, but if the application is off again, we get beat. If we lose, we're not getting champs league this season. Need Botman back, so that everyone has a replacement for the final. If they're not at it over the next few weeks.
