Ah, the Trevor Francis approach. I like it.

Best eleven is relative though, depending on all sorts of variables. Of course long term Sangare will (probably) be in our best XI.
The best eleven for one game may not be the best eleven for another and for this particular game the best eleven might not include a player who's really only just arrived in the country.

Ok, the best eleven for the next match

It's not like he expires if we don't use him quickly. If he's not quite ready then he should be eased in. If he is, then great. Danilo was what, £18m and he wasn't rushed in.

It can do more damage if you just throw them in. People made a judgement on Chris Wood straight away based on him being thrown into a system he clearly didn't have a clue how to play.
I'm not saying we should wait a month but they should know how we play before they are thrown in.
Monkman
Grenville Morris
Exactly. The expectations on this guy's shoulders are already massive without throwing him in at the deep end after one day of training with his new team mates. Setting him up for a potential fall.

Sangare will ultimately become one of the first names on the team sheet, but it sounds like he only came back from international duty the other day and Cooper hasn't had much time to work with him.
Wouldn't be a surprise to see him on the bench in that case. Understandably so too.
Given how next week we're likely to get pumped (as does everyone else in the league) by Man City, I'm not sure this game is one for taking chances. Play those who know the system and are ready to go from minute one.

and he shouldn't be, young, first time out of his country. Sangare is well established, a ready made player not a green horn. He just goes out there and do what does, win the ball, get forward and pass it to a teammate. Football is a simple game, don't have to make it complicated.
Monkman
Grenville Morris
Not that different. Danilo had two full seasons in the Brazilian league under his belt. Sangare has never played in the Premier League.
So I guess we're to expect more criticisms of Cooper if he names Sangare on the bench. Sigh.

I just want a nice, efficient 2-0 win without drama to put us 7th in time for our free hit against City. The more bodies we put between us and the bottom half early in the season the more confident the team will become as we go on.

We are playing at a level where every fine margin is exploited, it's not League One.
Wonder if Guardiola signs players and tells them crack on - no it takes them a year to look comfortable in his system.

I was going to say "must be", but then maybe we have the odd supporter, on this very forum, from Liverpool, who saw the light and joined the rebel alliance.
Forest are magic on and off the pitch!

It's all about mid-table...
Get Serengeti we Yates, sounds effin great.
I'm only tekkin yur lads word that he's the Bees knees, the Mustard, the thee Operando ONE.
BUT he must listen to RY, he will tek Serengeti under his wing, especially the first few games, to ease him in.
They will be formidable.

Not sure thats the case mate. If Cooper thinks he's ready he will play, if he doesnt he wont.
You would certainly expect him to play a part but Cooper very rarely introduces a new player straight into the starting 11.
I hope he does, but not sure he will.

Jack Armstrong
Speak ya mind, always better in the long run
anyway, we'll see soon enough what with the absence of danilo, will cooper do ? 1 day more ...

Jack Armstrong
Dont get so hung up on it dude, Cooper will do what he feels best and that will be that.
Chill out.
Of course , I am chill out but life would be so boring without speculation.

I concure completley.Of course , I am chill out but life would be so boring without speculation.
Im the least "chilled out" person on the planet so no idea why I'm telling anyone else to chill out
Sangare is gonna be massive for us mate whether that starts monday or the following game. No real rush here.
Listen 'ere young man

A win by 2 goals will take Forest into a European spot and 8 points clear of the drop zone.

I'm just a bit nervous of people calculating the addition of three points before we've added them.
