It will take five minutes and two misplaced passes for the crowd to start moaning

This game has "respect the point" written all over it. Home team under pressure, away team nothing to lose and low expectations.
Exactly, Cotterill is no fool. Their whole season (including our easy 0-4 away win at their place) has been an elaborate ruse designed to lull us into a false sense of security for this game. Andy Reid is in fact a midfield dynamo while Marlon Harewood really is Balotelli in disguise. They will continue the charade by playing badly for the first 89 minutes and then nick it with a late set-piece goal.
You read it here first.

Forest are a great club and good fans.

However, they are ****ing hopeless this year.

Properly ***** so we should be beating them comprehensively.

I don't care if we lose 4-0

All that matters is that we play attractive football.

:) Yes, I know we SHOULD beat them, but I just get really uneasy when people start talking about 5-0's etc.

Marlon is nailed on to score isn't' he?

Forest are missing Chambers and Morgan and that is their regular centre back pairing.

We should be able to beat them comfortably but no doubt we'll see a tight 1-0 win, Carlton to get back on the scoring trail.

I personally think that in this league we can play much better football than we have been playing without sacrificing results.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

The crowd should all cheer and clap loudly every time Marlin touches the ball. Go ape **** and he might forget himself and stick one in the net for us :lol:

I just watched a replay of the Leicester game, their body language is finished & they're a team in all kinds of trouble with a Manager likely to get booted after the game on saturday as i don't think he'll be able to motivate them and we're gonna beat them very convincingly which also scares the sh*t out of S'ton who then crumble on Sunday/Monday... :raver:

With Soton not playing until Monday, big opportunity here to put some real pressure on them.

Pretty much! I seem to remember a New Year's Day game at home to Forest in a season where they were absolute ***** and it felt about minus 10 at the ground - we were awful and got done 1-0, it might even have been a young Harewood that got their goal, maybe?

So yeah, good chance of a f*** up this weekend :lol:

0-1 Harewood is the correct answer.
