Moussa

Danns

Abe

Dyer

Nugent

Beckford

Subs: Dont care. But if Wellens, King or Gally are anywhere near the team I'm going to scream!

Fully agree with this team, although I would like King on the bench as I think he is quite effective coming on later in a match and Gally needs to be there so we can bring him on if its going to penaltys haha

A Forest fans perspective

http://nffcblog.com/2012/01/16/leicester-city-vs-forest-preview-3/?

Can anyone muster up any enthusiasm for this one?

So, Leicester are on quite rubbish form – we are worse. Arguably a positive development for us is the suspension of Luke Chambers after his red card at the weekend (a bit mean, I know, but he could do with a break if nothing else). The promise of a fourth round tie at home to Swindon Town awaits the victor. I read somewhere amusing that Forest will conspire to beat Leicester purely because a home defeat to Swindon would result in the bigger embarrassment.

It feels a bit like that.

Anyway, like us, Leicester lost at the weekend – although they did score, losing 2-1 at home to Barnsley. We, of course, rolled over and gave Southampton the freedom of the City Ground, but for a late resurgence from Lee Camp it could’ve been much worse than 3-0. Indeed, had Southampton actually put in a proper shift it could’ve been worse too. It doesn’t bode well.

Chambers being out at least prevents Cotterill from playing Greening and Moussi in midfield, because it’s likely the Frenchman will need to drop back to partner Joel Lynch in defence. This might offer a way back in for George Boateng who – despite an impressive performance at Ipswich – has found himself once again on the fringes of the squad. Maybe that other forgotten man Majewski will get a game?

I’m struggling to remember a game since the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy days that I was less enthusiastic about. If Forest have the same attitude and endeavour as they had at the weekend then even a side on as ropey a run as Leicester will capitalise. And frankly, it won’t be the end of the world. I’ll be watching this one on ESPN, the idea of paying money and making an effort to watch Forest at the moment seems like an ask too far.

Prediction? I think we’ll get knocked out the cup – and I’m struggling to give much of a shit at the moment. The lethargy, it seems, is contagious.

Schmeichel

Peltier

Mills

Tunchev

Konchesky

Dyer

Oakley(is he fit?)

Danns

Gallagher(no other winger)

Nugent

Beckford.

Oakley for the simple reason he can pass a ball. Wellens can't. King is invisable nowadays? I aint the biggest beckford fan but he'll come good. We need a winger and attacking midfielder to give beckford service.

Its difficult to change it too much and in Pearson's defence there isnt that many options....!

I'd go with:

Schmeichel

Peltier

Koncheskey

Tunchev

Mills

Dyer

Abe

Danns

Moussa

Beckord

Nugent

Simple 4-4-2 with Moussa and Dyer on the wings. At least Moussa has pace and has played wide before.

Abe can sit with Danns supporting. May even be worth Kennedy playing wide left and Dyer wide right, at least you'll get 100% from Kennedy based on his Palace performance!

The fact i'm sat here and can't even muster up a team that I think will beat Forest shows how shit this squad is.

Kasper

Peltier

St Ledger (two games close together too much for Tunch?)

Mills

Kennedy (Konchesky pissed me off on Sat' by being more worried about waving to someone in the crowd than gettting ready for the game)

Dyer

Danns

Wellens

Abe

Beckford

Nugent

There must be 6/7 people I'd rather not be in that team if I had the choice!

THIS .Ifeel it time to tell king to just play a free role stop tracking back so much . Just stay free of makers and make those late runs that worked so well last year leave the messy stuff to Abe and Wellens.

I don't know why we let King have an attacking role, last season he did and was our highest goal scorer!
