Derby games are often tight affairs and it's a cliche but form makes less of an impact in these types of games. They'll be hungry to get off the ground and we'll be wanting to build on the start we've made. I'd probably say a 1-1 draw if i had to guess as we just lack firepower going forward. The half decent form we've cobbled together has been built on the foundation of not conceding as opposed to scoring. Fair play to your Grandfather! How old is he?

brady1993 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Has the feeling of a bit of a key game this one in some respects. Our performances have overall been on the rise but there is still the baggage of last year lingering over us and the worries that games like Hull might be a false dawn. A confident win against Forest and a lot of the fan base will likely consider it a corner turned and really begin looking forwards rather than back. On the flip side a loss and I worry things will turn sour such is the fragile nature of the fan base currently. For what it's worth and at risk of jinxing it, I can't see us losing this one. Forest have been woeful going forwards and we've looked really solid after the Jagielka's introduction. If Hughton is still in charge he will likely be approaching this game as trying to stop the rot and play for a point, so I expect them to sit deep and stay in shape. The question becomes will we break them down ? I think if we play like we did against Hull and the first half of Boro and don't get dragged into it "being a Derby" I think we should create chances (which is a nice change over last season) it's just whether we take them or not. Hopefully with increased game time and player sharpness we will, it'd be a really good time for Sibley to kick on after his goal against Sheff Utd. In terms of team I think it pretty much picks itself with Lawrence and Ebosele seemingly still out and I'll presume Baldock is fit: Roos Byrne Jagielka Davies Buchanan Bird Shinnie Sibley Morrison Jozwiak Baldock Carl Sagan, RadioactiveWaste and Rammed79 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless, you’ve purposely not put “match day thread” as you know it’s not the official one? If we lose, it’s all your fault, I hope your willing to take that chance, I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed. Now I've never known this to be the case? This is just a senseless attack on my character at this stage Cup games are competitive, no matter how many 17 year old children we play Edited August 26, 2021 by Tombo Rammy03 and Carl Sagan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanjwitham Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Slightly off topic query... Does anyone know any decent cafes in and around the city centre, or within walking distance of the ground, to get a fried breakfast before the match?
