Matchday 23 - Bournemouth v Nottingham Forest. Sunday 4th February. Kick off 2pm.

I get the feeling that, after a very busy schedule, Nuno is taking the view that Wood needs a proper rest and that this also gives him a chance to look at Ribero too without upsetting Wood by leaving him out too, he'll no he needs a breather.

I think Wood is injured isn't he? I heard hamstring. Which means if Taiwo overdoes it, we're putting all our PL eggs in the basket of an 18 year old Portuguese lad. Boa sorte, Rodrigo!

It is early here in The Canada. Today we must bring our A game and grab three points.

Probably explains why we were sinking to levels like Akpom to back Awoniyi up.

Hopefully Ribero is up to it.

Would like to have seen Niakhate start to deal with Solanke. Won’t matter if we can get on the front for a change and keep the ball at the other end.

4 goalkeepers warming up !
Could have done worse than the South African in the African Nations Cup.
Absolutely outstanding yesterday.

Do you think that it is obligatory to name Vlachular in the matchday squad? Are Forest not allowed to shut him out of the team selection?

... but he wouldn't be available until RSA exit the AFCON.

Exactly.

 

[PynchonForest]

Would rather have Toff at LB but we can do this.

I would rather we had Alphonso Davies at left back. I know, tiny margins.

Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to cross him?

I don't know but 2 keepers on the bench is bizarre

We did it on Tues as well.

To be fair we only have a squad of 25 plus kids, there are still a few at afcon, and then some out injured.

Makes more sense to include someone like Osong or Gardner instead of 2 keepers though

 

[Bonfy177]

Tough game this sorry to say ,

Gonna be backs to the wall, but that Bournemouth’s problem not ours 0-3

 

[Redemption]

The bench is light of midfield options, that's for sure.

 

[Captain Sinister]

I remember a 17 year old striker playing for Liverpool... he was unstoppable.
I'm hoping that Ribena is like Michael Owen.

 

[trentside69]

Great to see Niakhate back on the bench, feel better with Elanga and big T starting, hopefully we'll see Reyna and Ribeiro at some point as well.

Come on you reduns! Lets break this Cherry hoodoo.

I'm expecting Elanga and big T to tear them a new 1 today.
It's a combination that could work well for us

I never actually clocked that to be fair who was the other one Horvath before he left

Not 'arf!

 

[Col Steve Austin]

Pleased to see Dominguez back in central midfield, but why Tavares....?!

 

[LiarsBar]

Bournemouth also have 2 keepers on the bench. Strange.

Hennessey

 

[trentside69]

Probably still trying to decide which one stays and which one goes but the answer is both should leave

 

[Cureboy]

Let's do these today please...it's about time.

 

[Statto]

Neither of them can surely.

Vamps has played for us and Benfica already and Turner is the better option to keep.

Likelihood is we'll deregister Hennessey then he'll leave/retire in the summer and these 3 will be our squad keepers
