I haven't included him for the same reason I haven't included the likes of JBrown. They're still U23 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I’m pessimistic at the minute. Think if we score early, Forest have enough to push for an equaliser. If they score first, we have not shown any ability to score a goal this season. Best we can hope is keeping the ball out of our net and nicking one near the end There is little evidence to support my prediction apart from a thought that we will be changing the style of play and attacking more today compared to most other matches. Forest have conceded 8 and 3 have been conceded 22 minutes and earlier so I am hoping we set out to score early, then manage the game after. Danger is like against Huddersfield if we don't score, it's wasted energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Personally I would like to see Sibley in preference to Shinnie. i know it’s a gamble but we talk about fine margins, and a bit of his magic could tip the game in our favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think a run in the U23s would do him good to rebuild his confidence. Maybe, but have Evans and Wisdom shown enough to be starters in a back 3? also Evans can play in midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Just don’t concede early, an early goal for them and I can’t see anything but defeat due to how unconfident we are at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sort of conflicting. But yeah know what you meant, I'd be interested from the stato's on here how many times this season or the final quarter of last season what % of games have the opposition scored first and we've subsequently won the game (or an even more diluted comparison we've got something from the game at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have missed something - why is Evans also "at home" or is this just a guess? Cheers. Meanwhile, the only time I look forward to this fixture is when we're doing badly, as the match normally seems to instigate a change in fortunes. Let's hope that trend continues! I'm looking forward to tonight. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Ram Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 We'll start with 5 at the back but id prefer a 5 man midfield Marshall Byrne davies Clarke Buchanan Bird Jozwiak knight shinnie Lawrence Waghorn I hate three at the back or five at the back whichever way you look at it. If you have a 5 man midfield Byrne & buchanan can bomb on and bird sit when they do. I imagine this would be more a bielik role when fit. Knight and shinnie box to box & knight in his better position. Instead we'll get 5 at the back and sit too deep defending & not have enough options going forward when we win the ball back in our own area.

TomTom92 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 My team would be as below; Although I appreciate that there's fitness issues over 3 of the players including Lawrence so maybe its a bit too gung ho for tonight. The idea of a back 5 makes me very sad though, fitness issues or not.

Marshall Byrne Davies Clarke Buchanon Shinnie Knight Lawrence Waghorn Jozwiak Kazim-Richards I'd take out CKR and have Waghorn as striker, move Lawrence to left wing, Jozwiak right and Sibley attacking midfield. But I do like your team. I think however it'll be similar to previous in terms of back five, Bird and Shinnie, Jozwiak, Lawrence and Waghorn with Sibley, Holmes and CKR being the subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I think tonight's line up will show exactly how much pressure PC is under. I can see him breaking convention and going back to a 4231.
