4 defeats in a row and the international break and transfer window climax to look forward to !

[AA1969]

Chris Wood hat trick of headers incoming. 4-2

[Loftyhammer]

Chris Wood hat trick of headers incoming. 4-2

Hence why I’m triple captaining him this weekend

Obviously I hope that totally blows up in my face!

[HammerMan2004]

God help us.

[Eggs'n'nuts]

I'm just going to watch with no expectations whatsoever.

[SullySpecial]

Tough one to predict, but I think I’ll go with 28-0 to Forest.

[BondsoBob]

Forest are one of the sides I predicted to struggle this season, and I still think they will. But, they will beat us, 3-1.
We have absolutely nothing to offer. It's very difficult to see where a wins going to come from.

[the pink palermo]

The City Ground, one of the more raucous venues we visit on our travels, they're a passionate, traditional English football crowd.

Visiting teams need to be packed with character as well as characters.

Let's see who wants it.

[Hammer in Hornchurch]

Another heavy defeat, we've conceded a 3 and 5, so I’m saying 4-1 this time. And possibly the end of the road for Potter as our coach.

[Patsy Belgium]

Possibly their easiest three points all season.

[Colne Dynamo]

Think we'll win this!

[Puff Daddy]

Ooooh crikey!!

[r99c]

Haven't seen their performances, but they comfortably beat Brentford who have since won twice against good teams, and then got a draw away to a good Palace side. Chris Wood, one of the top scorers last season, has hit form again, and our defence is looking extremely shaky. It all bodes very badly so I can see us losing 3-1 or so.

[neathiron]

Gone for 3-0 in the score predictions thread (assuming they go easy on us)

Wood (2), Hermansen (og).

[Sergei]

Tough one to predict, but I think I’ll go with 28-0 to Forest.

That's completely ridiculous, we'll obviously do better than that.

27-0 Forest.

[bubbles1966]

My expectations have been wrong with every game so far this season - I'm expecting us to lose here so hopefully I'll be as wrong as usual.

[London Fields Hammer]

They are precisely the sort of aggressive, hard-working team that should steam-roller us. My one glimmer of hope is that we somehow scored two goals this week against a premier league team playing away from home without a proper striker on the pitch. Small point, but I wish Potter would be more active on the touchline - show you give a sh*t Graham and then perhaps the team might?

[anjado]

Going with the tried and true 5-3-2

Horatio Nelson

Wan Bissaka
Anne Boleyn
Robespierre
Marie Antoinette
Diouf

Douglas Bader
Herr Flick
Dr Stephen Hawking

Bowen

[Colne Dynamo]

KWP at left-back again for me please.

Don't trust AWB positioning wise. I though KWP did a better job in that respect - and he bagged an assist. Todibo looked more comfortable too.
