Almost certainly Reyna plays wide as he did vs Wolves

I was praying for Boly to come back but I believe that Niakhate has won 75% of his aerial duels vs Omobamideles 45% so having two left footers at CB is a sacrifice I think we can make. Dominguez and Danilo give us so little aerial protection in CDM, but their workrate and technical ability...

I did say in my post that I’m not a fan of dropping MGW or playing him in the 8

Yes me and the lads I sit with all said the same - it was almost like a back 5 but with Aina at LCB in certain situations. Very interesting from Nuno and you're right, you'd expect CHO and Elanga to have the engine/pace to keep up with their opposite number for the game. I suspect the key...

Very interesting to see how Nuno sets us up for this one. Everton will want to put a marker down early, press us high and try to dominate our defensive line with McNeil/Young/Doucoure/Garner/Onana set up in our half to try and pen us back. Do we stick to our 4231, which leaves gaps in front of...

I was not, that’s the other Matt from Forza. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Forest history, it’s a pleasure to chat to him about it

I always rated Fred (the Brazilian footballer) and as many footballers have found his career seems to have died as soon as he’s pulled on one of their shirts

Can we please rename this to the Forza Fred? A huge effort from so many people to make these happen - doing 2 displays in 4 days is exhausting, and we couldn’t do it without a literal army of volunteers. On to the next one.

If we sell MGW, we stop playing a system with a 10. We simply would not be able to replace him with a player of equivalent quality to justify having a player in that position. The problem with that is we would have to radically change the team in order to change the system as we've been...

16/1 on Brentford is right punt. I know Evertons point deduction should mean they're safe, but if us Luton and Everton have a strong end to the season I can see them in all sorts of trouble

Got a draw away, dominated 80% of the game and made one of the teams who have the ‘home advantage’ (as much of a myth as that may or may not be) look really poor. The three goal line clearances (four if you count the Murillo attempt) are testament to the system he’s set up being successful. I...

There’s so much to unpack in this. I don’t believe for a second that Sangare doesn’t want to be here. Confidence, time on the pitch, time in the system and consistency are so so important for a player to be their best. The adjustment period for any player coming into a team is variable, but the...

Just another 5 goals. 16 goals scored in 3 games over a 7 day period. Incredible.

Not Sangares worst game by any stretch of the imagination. I thought he was decent on the ball mostly, he could clearly see some passes but declined them often which def is a confidence thing. He got stuck in and when he missed a challenge he would always offer the recovery run to try and fix...

What has Origi got to do man

Boly has to score

What the f*** is going on why is there a massive hole in the middle of the park

Feel sick

Lincoln quietly building a revolution under Skubala. He’s from a futsal background which the FA has invested heavily in - he’s the proof in the pudding that the approach could benefit English football generally. Unbeaten in 10, 11 goals in the last 2 games, sailing under the radar for a playoff...

Dennis made so much sense on paper. Vlach less so but we at least tried to hedge the bet on Turner. The Mangala sale also made a lot of sense at the time and if we stay up, still does make a lot of sense. It’s easy to pick apart decisions in hindsight.
