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

[Morpeth]

According to my Cherries supporting good friend Bournemouth don't have any injury problems so the game will go on, even if there it is a bit breezy.
If we don't sign a goalie here is my suggested starting line-up:

----------------Hennessey--Turner----Vlach-------------
Montiel------Omobanadele-----Murillo--------Toffolo
------------Yates-----------------------Dominguez------
------------------------MGW------------------------------
------------------------Taiwo--------------------------

That’s very attacking but I’d probably play Taiwo further forward and Gibbs-White is too small to be a sweeper. Murillo in midfield is a good shout though.

Do it Nuno.

 

[BryanRoy22]

It's going to be a tough game. Hate to say it, their manager has got them very hard to beat and well organised.

If we manage to get any points, it's a positive. Not me being negative. Realistic.

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

To early for Sels? Give him the Bristol game to ease into the role but who starts here, return of the Vlach or stick with Turner? Give Hennesey a go, he played in this fixture last year.

 

[Bonfy177]

Check before ya travel fellas, this game ain’t happening, 12-16 mph winds, with that and the clouds

National guard will be called in

 

[ARedChester]

Any news on this game being a home side sell out? I can't find any.

Seems odd their tickets aren't on general sale yet. I have a neutral friend who is just interested in just seeing a game of football, so I recommended this as he lives near Portsmouth.

Straight in for me, no f***ing about.

I think the possible benefits significantly outweigh the downside of throwing him in early. Turners confidence is through the floor and he's coughing up a goal every game.

We couldn't afford to piss about with Turner any longer, it needed addressing immediately, the club have done that so it would be counter productive to continue with him even for another game.

 

[Monkman]

Yep, chuck Sels straight in. Worked with Navas last year.

 

[Redemption]

Sels should start. It's not like he has to learn much from the playbook.

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

I was thinking more from logistics point of view, having done the medical and signed yesterday, does he return to sort out things back home and come back, or just stay over here. The game being on Sunday helps a bit though.

Chucking an outfield player straight in is one thing, he can have a poor game, can't afford the keeper to do so, if he has other things on his mind.

He will be fine in his hotel room for a few weeks.

 

[valspoodle]

Is Sels married? Then that's what a wife is for. If single, no problem in sorting things out, next month will do.

Not what I would play but I think it is what the boss will go for.

I don't think that will be too far off the mark considering Taiwo and Elanga are still trying to get match fitness.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Dominguez alongside Danilo though

I can see this being the team also.

 

[Monkman]

Reyna straight in ahead of CHO? I'd see CHO starting and Reyna coming on for him second half.

That would be the team I would have guessed Nuno would pick as well apart from Niakhate in for Omobamidele.

 

[Gyros Peter]

I think one or both of Elanga or CHO will start - believe Elanga was a session or two ahead of Taiwo. Can't see Reyna in the first 11 at this point.

 

[Project Zeus]

A lot depends on Awoniyi and Elanga's fitness, but I suspect they're more likely to come on from the bench again. It's probably a week too soon for the returning AFCON contingent as well.

That would be my team, depending on fitness. Possibly Toffolo or Williams left back and Danilo could come in at CM. Not convinced by him defensively though

Looks decent, but with Yates & Danillo in very ordinary form, that outball to a very decent looking forward line is likely to be horribly inconsistent.

I hope Sangarre comes back twice the player he left, also might consider Dominguez in there?

As someone else has already said, as long as he is capable of putting his gloves on he goes straight into the team.
We need an immediate replacement that's the reason he is here so there's no point waiting.

I don't think any of the new signings can play against Bristol because they weren't eligible for the 1st game against them.

 

[tomw94]

Nuno seemed to hint at a fresh injury problem in his press conference that he did not want to go into details on

It will inevitably be someone Forest desperately cannot do without, like Taiwo or MGW.
