***Forest v Champions Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

Early KO for this one

Win this and we go third in the CL placed race (aka the Wenger Trophy). Tough game this I suspect. Forest play a low block and are happy to give up possession and hit on the counter with pacy wingers. Exactly the sort of game plan we've struggled with.

Will be able to hear the game from my garden if I get back from work in time!!

Although we won 3-0 in the corresponding fixture at ours in December it wasn't convincing. Wood misses a great chance to level where he should have scored and we then went up the field to make it 2-0. We underestimate Forest at our peril. They are still the only side to beat the dippers in the PL so far.

Tight game. Take a draw but hoping to nick it by the odd goal in three

1-2 Haaland Gvardiol

Looking forward to this early ko will be watching in the boozer. Win today and we're 4 points behind the Arse who will lose at the swamp tomorrow

Hopefully similar team that beat spuds. 2-1 City. Did I hear Stuart Pearce was rushed to hospital after taking sick on a flight?

Try not to get too close to them or you'll come back with a nasty rash.

[john@staustell]

I thought we took care of them fairly easily at home, during the worst of our bad spell. So I'm fairly confident today

Might be something in their style which suits us

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

Against the pace of Elanga.

I can see this being a problem

It’s not pace he’s lacking it’s brain cells.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Nunes at RB, What’s that quote about doing the same thing time & time again & expecting a different result ?

[john@staustell]

Didn't he play RB at Spuds?

[Mase]

Didn't he play RB at Spuds?

Yes, he was the one that gave away 4 or 5 free kicks on the edge of our box
