Fixtures kick off tonight no early Saturday K.O. this week. The Leicester v Forest game used to be a big game back in the day, Derby County being the other Forest “Derby” Perhaps Notts could confirm it is still considered a Derby. I hope our lads don’t predict cricket scores for our game, I have always been uncomfortable with this. Could be a tough game with the expected “low block” which is the new parking the bus. Obviously the Arse v dippers is the top game. Better if dippers drop points for me, they look dangerous this year. One on you blues!

Derby are considered Forests main rivals. Leicester are disliked and even more so with the Cooper connection

There’s still a lot of ill feeling towards the dippers as well going back from the 70s when the dippers would regularly beat up kids when they visited

Thanks Notts. I remember going to Forest late sixties got talking to some locals, they expressed dislike for Derby & Leicester. I bet they didn’t like us after we won 3-0

Apart from Rodri and Bobb Kevin Walker Grealish and Doku are out. Pep won’t be spoiled for choice. He’ll field a strong starting 11 but the bench might be a bit light. Stones to give way to Akanji for game management reasons? McAtee might get some minutes.

Akanji played the other night, Dias missed out. Think you're right about Stones tomorrow though. Can't see him playing 3 times in a week.

Stones plays three times a week for England when they’re at some no mark tournament

Not Sunday/ Wednesday/ Saturday he doesn't.

Yes quite right. Probably a choice between Akanji Ake or Akanji Dias.

Kev’s been training for a few weeks now. Weird he’s not ready.

Pep mentioned pre Stava presser that, Kev doesn't feel 100% ready and as such he won't rush him back saying something like "he is 33, not 22 and needs to take his time coming back, we won't rush him"

Saw a stat on the BBC that only Haaland has more non penalty goals since Xmas than Wood

Few surprises today. And a lot of late goals. Villa finding out how tough being in CL is, especially the match after

Everton 0 Fulham 1 not looking god for tofees

Excellent

Another late goal sees Everton snatch a draw

Real getting tonked at home by Barc. Lewandowski, should have 4 . Mbop shooting straight at the Barca goalie all the time or runs offside. Bellinham doing his best lord Lucan act.
