I fully trust Nuno but I'm a bit disappointed to see Sangaré on the bench.

Don’t mind that team. Bring on Elanga CHO and Awoniyi when Brighton are tiring.

Interesting line up. Still no Reyna? Anyone know what’s happened to him?

So how are those delicious Elanga through balls to Wood going to happen ?

Be interesting to see but you'd think we'd keep the same system and it's just a swap of CHO for Dominguez and Anthony for Origi.
Strong bench, perhaps the strongest for decades.

That's the strongest Forest bench I've seen in a long long time. Start of last season we had Lyle Taylor and Cafu on the bench.

Strange line up for me, taking away our biggest threat of pace on the counter, seems a bit negative

I suspect Elanga will be on after 60 minutes, when Brighton's legs will be going after midweek trip to Rome

The bench is probably key today. Keep it tight and then throw on Elanga and Taiwo for the final 30 minutes.

Wood being back means we’re battering these.

Brighton fans said that their current weakness is in central midfield. Looks like we'll be playing through the middle today. Tactical masterclass from Nuno? Great bench to change things up if it doesn't work out. Good to see a settled defense.
Will stick my neck out and say 2-0, two Wood goals from two Toffolo crosses.

What is that team? Can't work it out...

Hope so but we know there can be a reluctance to bring on subs from nuno early in games, villa disaster apart and we don't want to be in that hole again

It's a weird lineup. I never like wholesale changes like that. Hopefully Nuno has seen something and it's a masterstroke!

I think we'll just congest the midfield, make them work around us for 60 mins then launch a pace attack on their tired legs.

Not sure I like it, potentially going to get rinsed in wide areas.

van Hecke did well against us last time, maybe they think Wood will be better as a taller option even though he isn't really a hold up player.
Taiwo clearly isn't match fit yet

Not in the UK, no. The Villa v Spurs game was found to be more appealing somehow.

I get where Nuno's coming from here, Brighton's tiredness has had them making plenty of mistakes in recent weeks, so he's definitely playing to keep it tight for 60-70 and go for the kill off the bench. Think it's as good a plan as any.
My only concern with that is the Danilo + Dom combo. On it's day it's brilliant, on an off day it's very vulnerable though. Nuno needs to have a back up plan to change that quickly if it's not firing after 30-40 min. Sangare on the bench suggests he has.

It's on Peacock and Optus if you have any way of accessing those.

We'll keep it tight until the 70th minute then unleash Awoniyi & Elanga. Hopefully the referee has read the rules & doesn't make any game changing decisions.
