Watching the liecester game we should smash them 3 or 4 nil but clearly will be a 1-0 and then sit back

extremely worried to be honest, its just what happens isn't it. Put it this way i wouldn't be surprised if we did. lol.

Although saying that, the early goal is key for sure, if we can put it in the back of the net within the first 5-10 mins, and i don't particularly care how it crosses the line I think that will determine the outcome of the game straight away. Sad state of affairs at Forest, but that is what it looks like to me.


EDIT: Just had a quick skim over their results, the last 2 wins were on 2nd Jan and 5th November, both against Ipswich. doesn't make good reading (for a forest fan)! They did on the otherhand beat Reading 1-0 just before.

Forest have just sent another block of tickets back to us.

Not many teams have bought 3k this season have they. Leeds and Leicester?

I reckon Big Sam will go for the diamond midfield in this one. Meaning we will be very narrow but we should have enough to beat Forest. I do not see any need for Diop to play though. They have Greening, Reid and Boateng in midfield so lets get some young legs in there.

I'm pretty sure they took the 3k allocation but didn't actually bring 3k.

The closer this game gets the more worried I feel. Not looking forward to this at all. I've seen this so many times before. We will either completely f*ck this opportunity up or scrape through with a sh*tty 1-0 win and bite our fingernails for the entire second half. Either way its not gona be enjoyable. The pressure is firmly on us to spank forrest after their last two results but we all know it wont happen. It will be all p*ss and wind as usual.

This could be 6 or 7 and to concede that many against a team that plays Hoofball too is just a disgrace
Longball v Longball

Difference? One manager is a ****er one has some nouse.
Hoof ball v hoof ball in front of two sets of fans who'd rather see some passing.
It just occured to me - both these clubs have a reputation for playing good football, yet this game will be between two of the most tedious teams in the division.
Interesting thoughts from Forests fans about us.

For some reason I've got a good feeling about this one. Call me a blind optimist but I reckon we'll score a goal.

5-1
Lol. Forest fans really aren't very optimistic. I think we'll score an early goal and sit back, and Forest will equalise late on. It's the West Ham way. 1-1.

I went to Portsmouth last week and was told that Cotterill was not liked and devisive could be nonsense but interesting how Forest are in free fall. My mates little lad, Forest mad, stayed up to watch the Leicester game; he never misses a. Second of any match but when they went three down, decided it was time for bed. This should be comfortable lads, relax....
