Pissing himself ain't he.

Nice to see Danny Simpson as the pundit. You can tell he really loves us still.

Castange injury is another blow. **** me what is going on!

We’ll miss him badly vs Wolves. Exactly the type of game at home we are turgid against and his width and overlapping would be an even crucial miss.

All the injuries were dealing with, imagine if they were all fit? I honestly think we would be in the title mix genuinely with a fully fit squad.

Yeah, I was gonna say, good to see him in studio.

I think Under and Albrighton are on the wrong sides here, Morgan and Fofana could also be changed over. 

Ünder and Albrighton, yes. But Fofana plays RCB.

With our injury crisis I might get a call, I’m waiting near the phone Brendan

Even he’s injured

****  me even Simmo is injured

He has so far, so that makes sense. Just thinking that having Morgan and Fuchs next to one another is dangerous if they have a fast winger.

 

But as has been suggested before, we might use a lop sided full back, so Fuchs does not push up, but JJ does. If that's the case, then that back 4 is good to go, and that's what I think we will do.

Filbert Fox (hamstring) - 6 weeks. 

[Corky]

Ridiculous but I'm starting to think no more injuries would be the best thing tonight, not the result.

Someone needs to get digging under the penalty spot at the South end....

[Wymsey]

Their stadium looks too similar to The London Stadium..

[Ted Maul]

Evans out because of Lacazette's challenge where he didn't jump and let him go over the top. I'm sure Arsenal fans would have started a petition for a ban if it was the other way round.

[Cameron Davidson]

either

 

A: We are training too hard

 

B: God is a Forest fan

 

C: Bad luck and no pre season. 

 

Either way..... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch

For me this ought to be Hamza's last chance at impressing in a defensive midfield role, that is if it's a 4-3-3. I would rather see Rodgers try Praet there in the absence of Mendy and Ndidi than have someone who, every time I've seen him, cannot keep himself in his position for longer than 5 seconds.

If he’s on the squad, he has to play sometime and I cannot think of a better time.

Let Mendy and Praet have their well-deserved break. I am quietly optimistic that Hamza will get the job done.

The formation shows up on my app as 3-4-2-1. 

No way Albrighton plays more advanced than Under

 

I love how nobody's sure what the formation is, I was thinking 3-4-3 as above with Marc and Under switched, but the 4-2-3-1 looks like an equally valid if not better fit for the players listed.

Kasper is so handsome 

 

Also a decent talker 

[Collymore]

This isn't the same lineup I saw before. Was the wrong one leaked or something?

[murphy]

Why do people think this will be easy?   I reckon we go into this one as underdogs.
