Re: ⚽ Nottingham Forest v West Ham United: match thread
Is Fab likely to be okay for this Sunday? Otherwise that’s one obvious change to the starting 11.
The defence will probably be unchanged unless we sign a centre half in time, which is highly unlikely at this moment in time. Can’t see Dawson being fit.
I doubt Scamacca will be quite ready to start still. But may be able to play the whole of the 2nd half.
Cornet however has a good chance of starting.

I'd let him play the whole of the first half then.funky chicken wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 8:06 am.

If LIngard is going to score, then surely we need to play Antonio - if you believe in that whole former club karma hoodoo ...
I'd like to see Antonio bash them up for an hour, get his goal, then bring Luca on to run through them.

Take the game to them early with Scamacca.
Try to get in front and silence the crowd.
Antonio and Cornet to come on for the last 30 and punish a chasing team.

I think that after this match our fan base is going to collectively lose their rag. It’s going to be a little while before we make the swing toward positive results. Tbh, I would rather we have our dry patch at the beginning of the season than at the end, like we did last season, if we need to have a dry spell.

Benni on for Fornals @ 78 minutes
Scamacca on for Antonio @ 86 minutes
Coventry or Downes on for Rice or Soucek @ 89 minutes
we're losing 3-0 at h-t

Every Premier League game you have the hopes and dreams of hundreds of thousands of fans in your hand, and your every move is scrutinised by millions of people around the world. I really doubt players think "it's my old club, I'm going to try even harder".

If I was a Forest defender what I'd hate to see is a front three of Antonio, Scamacca and Bowen. So that's how I'd line up.

Re: ⚽ Nottingham Forest v West Ham United: match thread
I'm hearing Forest are trying to get a huge deal done before Sunday.
Paul McCartney has been contacted to sing live before the game starts. As many will know the Forest anthem
played before kick off is Mull of Kintyre.
I understand he hasn't said no and it is something That may well happen
We shall see

Whoever we have this is going to be far from easy. Hate playing promoted clubs at their place early doors.
Bournemouth beat Villa, Fulham got a draw v Liverpool. Going to be hard. Big game for Rice/Soucek. Control the middle and we should be able to do it.
Strangely this might be a game for Benny. Their defence will need to bed in, might get the extra space he thrives in.

Re: ⚽ Nottingham Forest v West Ham United: match thread
Normally the beginning of the season is the worst time to play a newly promoted team... but with the amount of new players they're trying to integrate into the team, I think it might actually be the best time to play them. I'd be amazed if they all gelled this early.

Scamacca did more in his cameo than Antonio has since his purple patch ended some time ago...
Have to start Scamacca and Cornet along with Bowen and try and put the game out of sight...
Let Antonio come on when one of them need a rest and we are 3 up

They've been using that song for years. I have no idea what the connection is either.Iron-on-transfer wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 8:24 pm Not forgetting the likes of Brentford vs Arsenal last term either.

Fortunately we have a truly iconic football song, but I dont remember Vera Lynn coming onto the pitch and singing it at our place.
I do however remember the cockney rejects making a bloody racket on the last night of the Boleyn
