Do we stand any chance against Forest ?

[The Rock]

They are average. We will see whether we are slightly above or below average. Including the playoffs.

Why's the chauffeur picking the team?

It's a "Thunderbirds " reference Parker was Lady Penelope's chauffeur

[Brawn]

Yes, I think. We've played fairly well since the restart without much luck in the first two games in particular. We had a poor first half today but we absolutely dominated the second half and on another day would have scored 3 or 4.

Screw Forest.

It's 11 v 11 why not

[General]

Initially based on how we've done since the restart I'd have said no, especially as when we played them we were all style and no substance and they are quite clinical, grabban in particular did very well against us in a smash and grab from them at the cottage but, whilst our performances have left a lot to be desired (even with 70-80% possession against Birmingham over the entire 90 mins leading to a last minute goal and our first shot on target coming in the 65th minute or so), a deeper look suggests it could be another close one and we could possibly nick it - although it is an away game.

So far forest have played Huddersfield, Derby, Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday and have won two and drawn two. Most of those teams are in the middle to bottom half of the league derby aside and their three last games have seen their opposing team each have a player sent off (which may be indicative of forests tactics?).. our forward line unless they freely interchange with each other could struggle if forest are a physical side. Maybe Bryan on the left wing may help? Also have reed and a solid CM

Latest Skybet odds. Oddly we're perceived to be slight underdogs for the match but still much more likely to get promoted. Perhaps due to Mitro's absence for the match.

Forest win 6/4
Fulham win 9/5

Forest to go up 11/2
Fulham to go up 2/1

Fulham only 7/4 on PaddyPower
Draw might be a good bet at 11/5

Of course we can win this but we have to
Neutralise Jolley
Exploit the space behind Cash
Get crosses into the 'corridoor of uncertainty' - Samba is suspect
Don't let Watson get a hold of the game - he was excellent yesterday vsDerby
Stay tight on Grabban

COYW!

He's their driving force

And he can open a few doors.

Yes we had a poor first half and what should have been a disastrous first ten minutes. Give those early chances to Forrest and it could be game over after ten minutes.

[colinwhite]

of course we have . O yee of little Faith

[bill taylors apprentice]

YES!

[rebel]

Grabban is up there for goals and assists.

[keithh]

I'm not enthused with the current style of play that leads to 70/75% possession but not getting a shot away until the second half. Are they being coached to "play safe" and wait for an opportunity once the opposing team get tired of chasing the ball? Perhaps it might work if we stopped making the occasional wayward pass that usually ends up in our net.

Thats FAB

If we can plonk half a jar of winter green under Hectors nose and slap his face before kick off we may have half a chance. Someone needed to tell him we kicked off this afternoon!
Hector must stop Grabben so in the wide awake club please.

Winter Green Fernhurst? Now there's a name from the past! Most would think this a place where they play cricket! Oh and 1-2 Tuesday.   049:gif

Don't think I've seen a team start games so slowly as we've done this season.
Its as if they have three cups of cocoa before they take the field half asleep.

We seem to have to do badly in games before we do well.

[H4usuallysitting]

We'll annihilate them....with skill, fight and a sprinkling of spirit.... I feel sorry for them, they don't know what's going to hit them

Also score a couple of goals and stop playing Parkerball around our own box.
