Cam the Ram Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 That's you fooked for tomorrow then, According to your lot on Wednesday it was your reserves that got the draw v 10 men. Come on Ossie ..... everyone knows Forest are the only team in the league with injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Come on Ossie ..... everyone knows Forest are the only team in the league with injuries Many of the injuries are frostbite-related, on account of them having to play into the sleet both halves every week.

StaffsRam Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 More words of 'wisdom' from the grumps:To put the Forest v Derby injury list into perspective.... Would Derby cope if Forsyth, Keogh, Hughes and Bryson were all out for 3-6 months? Along with intermittent injury problems to Wisdom, Buxton and Eustace? That is the equivalent/minimum we've had to put up with Forest, the first team in history to have some injuries......boo fooking hoo. Barker - first team O'Brien - first team Coutts - first team Russell - first team Hendrick - first team Ward - first team All either had long term injuries or persistent injuries this season. Perhaps we'll just tuck this one away ready to pull out the next time we don't win. We can recant it while the violins play in the background.....

Knowle Rohrer Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Meh, a 20 game unbeaten run against out of form teams, with weather conditions always in their favour and no injuries in all that time. They're there for the taking by any half decent side. I expect you to win by at least a couple of clear goals. Anything else would be a disappointment...... I was surprised at how mediocre they were when they came to Forest in November. I remember us ending Birmingham's unbeaten home run a couple of years ago and that started a slump in form which ended any chance of automatic promotion. If we defend like we did at times on Wednesday then we will lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly We have probably the same amount of injuries to players who are in and around the first team as they have. After spending 8 or 9 million this season on players you'd think they have enough quality players to cope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we defend like we did at times on Wednesday then we will lose. Between the pair us we could put a severe dent in Burnley's challenge, we've got them soon as well. You beat them first and then we'll mosey on into town to take the out of form team to the cleaners for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the topic of Reid ..... you know how the gumps like to remind everyone of refereeing decisions that have gone against them in the past, anyone reckon they'll mention how Reid should be banned for 3 or 4 games for attacking Phillips?

eddie Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 To tell the truth, no matter how many players Forest have missing through injury, it's nowhere near enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Trotters was provoked. Phillips rubbed himself down with meat and potato before coming on. Trots got one whiff and lost control of himself. Unsportsmanlike of Phillips IMO.....

Knowle Rohrer Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Tudgay has gone out on loan to Charlton for the rest of the season. He is not the most talented player but his work rate and application could never be faulted. He can do us both a massive favour tomorrow by netting a winner for his new team against QPR.

StaffsRam Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Indeed, hopefully Charlton can help turn the screw on them. You get the impression that they're on the verge of imploding with a few more bad results. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you get lucky with injuries and sometimes you do not. We have been unlucky but it shows what a strong squad we have that always been able to put out strong sides. There have been times in the past when we have not been able to put a senior player on the bench or even have two centre backs on the pitch. Those are the times when you are really going to struggle with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 It doesn't matter whether Forest have no injuries or a hundred. There will always be an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Well Barker and O'Brien were our first choice centre back pairing and they've both been out for the entire season. If we'd kept more clean sheets we'd be walking the league by now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
