What about the substitutes?

What about the substitutes?

If there's room for a few more Brians why not.
I would kind of like to squeeze in Metgod though

I would really like to see a book about the second European adventure.

Oddly I got bought the book Reds vs Rams (I only consider Liverpool as our rivals). I might have to destroy the half that talks about the sheep shaggers. Nice to see your team selection is close to mine.

'When English Football ruled Europe' is on ITV at 10.45pm tonight. This episode focuses on the Nottingham Forest/Liverpool period.

 

[Harvey]

That side that demolished Sheffield Wednesday 7-1 away

Apologies I didn't actually read the OP, I thought it was best actual starting eleven

Although to be fair even if we're talking all time, that side would give you a run for yer money

Forest were sublime that day.

Maybe this should have a sub thread about great Forest players who dont make your 11.


Frank Clark, Colin Cooper, Dave Philips, Gary Birtles, Big Larry...........

I really rated Colin Cooper and I loved seeing a centre back smashing free-kicks at the goal. Very underrated player.

Indeed-a class act.

Bong?

 

[Cloughie1975]

Bong?

I was thinking more Silenzi myself.

 

[Grenville 1898]

Almost need to select a full 25 player squad as my first 11 selection changes a fair bit based on the formation. This is difficult.

 

[eyupmeduck]

Sutton, Laws, Pearce, Walker, Cooper, Stone, Bohinen, Keane, Woan, Clough Collymore for me, honorable mentions for Reid, Hodge, Sheringham, Phillips, Dawson, Antonio and Crossley which I suppose could be the subs bench.

As much as I'd love to include many of the 90's stars, I was too young to remember the Clark and Bassett teams as well as I'd like to and wasn't taken to enough games back then.

With that in mind, using players from the 00's, 10's and 20's...

Samba

Cash Dawson, Felipe Lodi

Yates Danilo

B.Johnson Gibbs-White Antonio

Awoniyi

Subs: D.Henderson, Worrall, Aurier, Cohen, G.Williams, Reid, Assombalonga (pre-injury)

Manager: Steve Cooper (obviously!)

 

[Gyros Peter]

Roy Clough Collymore Stone
Hodge Keane
Pearce Walker Felipe Laws
Van Brueklin

I reckon Brennan might get in over Stone soon.

Maybe Cooper should have snuck in over Felipe.

 

[BryanRoy22]

I've tried to go for those who played a few seasons for Forest although Felipe is the obvious exception because his class stands out so much.

RB: Matty Cash
LB: Stuart Pearce
CB: Des Walker
CB: Felipe

RW: Brennan Johnson
LW: Ian Woan

Reserves: Steve Sutton, Nigel Clough, Gary Crosby, Louis-Jean, Colin Cooper, David Phillips, Scot Gemmill, Sheringham, Antonio, van Hooijdonk, Bohinen, Stone, Cohen, Dawson, Julian Bennett (just because). And might aswell chuck MGW in there aswell. This is so difficult. I need a beer.
