Oh god.... we are actually playing tomorrow. I was starting to enjoy this happy life without Leicester City Football Club ruining my mood. Its going to be some nervy shit isn't it?

Yeah goalies do seem "a special case" and this manager seems to place an awful lot on "how he looked in training",  well training is one thing but actually doing it on the day is different, and maybe Ward just gets so nervous he cocks up.

 

I just think you have to give Iverson his chance both to encourage him and give healthy competition to Ward.

 

What happens if Ward makes a couple of catastrophic errors in the first 20 mins?

Does Rodgers hook him? Evidence would say not but then if there is no consequence for losing (for Rodgers) why would it be a problem to keep playing him and likewise not playing Soyuncu.

You don't take your keeper off mid game. Can't ever recall it happening. I'd prefer to hope the guy makes a couple of decent saves and we start looking at where the side is actually failing.

 

Rodgers always bangs on about how people look in training. Same as with the set pieces. We always "work hard" on them in the week. Yet the team unable to score from a set piece is going up against the team unable to defend them so they're bound to look good.

Not quite as good as "Two tramps fighting over a chip" analogy earlier in the thread but still good

[CosbehFox]

Forest fans already doing their boring shit ‘not a rivalry’ 

 

Yet somehow our visit pulled in more than Arsenal and Liverpool despite the very obvious segregation issues with a increased away allocation

Fucking lol. 

On a genuine note, the loss to them did honestly hurt some of our lot. I’ve heard out of their own mouths (or rather my brother did). Proof in the pudding tomorrow. 
 

And any Forest fan says Forest don’t feel the same - Dean Henderson is an interview when joining said he was looking forward to the Leicester game the most because that’s what the squad spoke about

It’ll be interesting to see who starts in goal tomorrow, if not Iversen then please for gods sake anyone else, I’d take Nacho in goal.

[Livid]

I’ve seen some real mismatches over the years and it’s not because they are infinitely better than us at the moment but I’ve never had less enthusiasm for a game against them as I have for this one. 

[TJB-fox]

Must win 

[Blueman1967]

Got to win, no excuses

How many Brendan out emails going in to the programme tomorrow? 

About as many as the number of wins we have. 

[An Away Move]

As much as I want Brendan out tomorrow is a must win game. We cannot afford a loss. 

[An Away Move]

If it’s to be believed that Rodgers actively wants the sack the team selection will be revealing.

I know it’s a fools paradise - it’s been great watching Man U fans streaming out before half time and Stoke getting hammered without a care in the world. The thought of what we’re likely to serve up makes me physically sick. For gawd sake lads turn up tomorrow and play like you mean it

Sickeningly we have players forest can only dream of; Castagne, JJ, Evans, Youri, Wilf, Madders, Vards, Kels, Barnes .....yet through sheer mardiness and pig headedness, this man  can't organise them into a coherent shape. Staggeringly inept.

I've explained to my girlfriend we have to watch this, I said they are playing the 2nd worst team in the league, probably lose, but there's a chance, even a stopped clock is right twice in the day,the law of averages says no matter how awful we are, we should win the odd game here and there.

You have to get in the oppositions half to have even a chance of winning.

Yeah both teams are going to be nervous in possession. Can see us coming out the blocks fast and scoring first and then gradually Forest getting slowly back into the game.  I just hope we don’t pass it around the back too much and just boot it forward. 😉

I’m sure he can fit Armatey in there some where. Midfield?

Brendan will be very pissed off if that is the case.

 

We wouldn't be 'controlling the game' would we.

[ozvaldo]

Can’t see us getting anything. 
They’ll be well up for it. 
 

I imagine we’ll revert back to playing an ageing, isolated Vardy jogging around pointing at people.
