They have conceded 2 in their last 5 games (?) and as we well know, are **** at defending.

 

2-2 by the 80th minutes. Last 10 minutes see both sides attacking making a very nervous crowd. We score a 94th mintue winner, Sammon from 18 yards, resulting in euphoric scenes in the away end and Kenny Burns having a heart attack.

Forest are a grind out result kind of side, and play poor quality football despite their squad list.

 

A poor quality team will score the majority of it's goals from outside the box, or from crosses and that's what these do.

 

how many times have you seen this "poor quality football" from forest this season?

Lately we have been struggling at the back, this is due to absence of Kelvin Wilson. With him in the side we have conceded just 2 goals from open play, in just 2 games without him we have conceded 4.

 

Strikers are also not taking their chances at the mo', which we are creating plenty of. In our last 3 league games we have had a total of 61 shots on goal, 24 on target with only 6 finding the back of the net. So we are currently relying on other players to pop up with goals at the minute.  With our top goal scorer in the league being Andy Reid with 4 goals , with only one striker netted more then one league goal. Darius Henderson scoring 3.

 

 

Recent games between us 2 havnt been much of a spectacle, the occasion has seemed to get to both teams, both feeding off the atmosphere in the wrong way and it has resulted in a scrappy 1-0 win to your side.  Hopefully both teams can settle and we can have a good 'football' game to showcase infront of the sky cameras.  It will be interesting to see how you set up, reading on here it seems to be you are a v.good passing side. Most teams come to our ground and try and park the bus and hit us on the counter. So if you come and bring the attack, that could cause us some problems as we arnt really use to teams trying to do that against us at home.

 

if fully fit i expect us to line up like this:

 

Darlow

Lichaj Hobbs Wilson Cohen

Chalobah

Lansbury Reid Abdoun

Henderson Mackie

 

i will go for a 2-1 Forest win.   (Henderson, Abdoun)  (Ward)
