Nottingham Forest v Boro 1-2 (Assombalonga, Saville)

[diggerlad07 851]

1) I have heard this in the line up

                      Betts
          Dijk Fry Mcnair Bola

                  Howson

           Morsy          Saville

Watmore                         Tavernier

                     Britt

2: Are you happy with a draw and why/why not? Would happily take a draw. We do not have a good record at Forest for whatever reason and they are on a 6game unbeaten run so its going to be extremely difficult game. We will play very rigid.

3: Will Britt miss a penna? Yes and smile afterwards because he wants to go back to Forest

4: Can Chris Hughton make Forest a play off candidate? Not this season. Early form damage was done and personally i think there is only the 5th spot to play for as the other the top 5 are too strong for the rest of the league imo

5: Can NW make us a play off candidate? I think we will be there or thereabouts, but realistically can only look at sneaking into the 6th spot.

6: Who will be the first to write "this is a game for Patrick Roberts" and who will be the first to be baffled, when Folarin is subbed on in the 88th minute and Roberts aint? Nearly everyone on this forum that still thinks Roberts has a future at the club. Using 5 subs and coulson at the weekend just highlights there isnt a future for Roberts, but we cant let him go until Bolasie signs the last few days of the window.

7: Burger King or Mc Donalds? Burger king 100% Although the prices are ridiculous

@diggerlad07 I know McNair has been excellent this season and I know we have a good sports science department. But I'm not sure they have worked out how to clone humans yet! 😂

[Maccarone 171]

I guess that name should be Saville,  not a bad team though, apart from Britt, unless the Forest connections give him the kick he needs.

[GrimsbyBoro 409]

I would play Watmore on the left and Tav on the right but that is about our strongest team (assuming Sav for CM).

 

[Humpty 257]

I imagine it'll be Morsy sitting deeper rather than howson.

2 defeats in the last 2 games and a tricky away tie at Forest is next.

Ameobi will have a field day and the movement and fire power of the Forest players will be far too much for our shot shy side.

2 nil defeat as the playoff dream slowly slides away. We should have really cemented our playoff push, alas we are in the process of grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory..

Come on, we were never in with a shout of the playoffs, let’s have a bit of realism here!

Instead of being hunting The Jew here, you could go and answer me in the Covid 19 thread, mate 😉

You say that but when they played together earlier in the season as a 3, it was Howson in front of the defence and Morsy pushing further forward with Saville.

[Poly 140]

It will be Howson the deepest like earlier in the season.

I wouldn't start with Howdon, he needs bedding back in slowly after his injury, id go for it tomorrow night, watmore needs to play.

If this game is on the Red Button I'm wearing my LUCKY away shirt from a couple of seasons ago...I can't remember losing wearing it...If it's not... I'll wear it anyway
