13 Jan - 11 Feb 2024

Who are we supporting? I guess any team not containing Forest players, so ours come home early! Though if any get through to the latter stages then I'm sure we'll all be donning our Ivory Coast, Senegal or Nigeria kits.

Big game on Thursday 18th Jan - Sangare, Aurier and Boly vs Aina and... just Aina because Taiwo's out

Alaska for me.

 

[valspoodle]

What did Delaware, boy, what did Delaware? I don't know, Alaska.

Something like that.

On the one hand, I'm so proud of ALL of our national team players!
To be one of the best in your country & represent your flag in a tournament must feel so special, I'll always root for them for their hard work!
Ivory Coast, Senegal & Nigeria are quality teams and I'd love to see one of them take the cup home!
On the other hand, I'd really want our full squad back as quick as possible, especially considering how we're performing these days...

But overall I just wish the best for everyone!! If our players are happy, I'm happy.

I had great anticipations of seeing Awoniyi scoring next to Oshimen, but alas... get well soon Taiwo!

Stupid insignificant tournament at a stupid time of year.

I shall also be cheering on the Leopards, mostly because my favourite VfB Stuttgart player Silas Katompa Mvumpa should be in the squad!

 

[Subin Hwang]

Squad list for Ivory Coast is here! Aurier, Boly and Sangare are all selected for AFCON!

 

[DocForest]

I thought Taiwo's back-up at International level might become a target of ours at some point, so at least i'll get to see if he's any good. Can't remember his name. The geezer at Nice, Moffi .... similar attributes to Taiwo.

 

[Subin Hwang]

Squad list for Senegal confirmed, Niakhate and Kouyate will be heading to Ivory Coast as well.
That's a lot of Ligue 1 players, by the way!

 

[MaxiRobriguez]

County will be furious that we are simply 'Nottingham'.

 

[Subin Hwang]

And finally, Nigeria's squad list. No Taiwo, but Ola Aina's going!
Something tells me they must really love to attack.

 

[Mcbeth99]

I'm not sure how to feel about this. Normally I would be routing for the countries with the most Forest (or as they are indicated here 'Nottingham' !!) players. However this is almost half our first 11 so I now just want them back home ASAP uninjured.....

 

[David Layne]

With the AFCON games starting on January 13th, what Forest players will be involved, and who will be involved from our closest rivals? What number of players participating are individual clubs looking at?

 

[Strummer]

If only we had a thread for this already….

They will be happy with Notts.

Nah, the venerable Kicker has it right as well:


„Again, harmless away from home for the fourth time“

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

Only 2 Afcon players in the starting XI yesterday and one coming off the bench.

Doesn't seem that bad.

Think we will be fine. A lot of players going but we have plenty of cover and it will represent an opportunity to others.

CB is the biggest loss with Niakhate & Boly, but could turn into an opportunity for Omabamidele or Worrall (not convinced on the latter), or a new player.

 

[BryanRoy22]

Nigeria have such a wealth of options in attack and that's without Taiwo.

No space for Terem Moffi either.

 

[Subin Hwang]

Just to clarify, those aren't official graphics but are from a French account(I prefer ones that show the players' clubs), but I've seen many other foreign-language sources use the abbreviation "Nottingham" most often than anything else.

Because who's the best team in Nottingham that represents the city's name most often overseas, anyway?

Many overseas countries use simply „Nottingham“, it’s quite common.

In Germany for example, it’s always „Nottingham“ in the league table, for example.

So Salah can play tonight but Kudus can't tomorrow.
