fazzyfox Posted 4 February 2022 Share Posted 4 February 2022 Initially I had a horrible vision of a 1-1 and losing on penalties, hope I'm wrong. Looking for the kind of professional performance put in away to Brentford last season, turn up, show your class (Ok went a goal down but stayed calm), get the job done, move on, don't get caught up in the hype merchants giant killer / derby narrative. Forest look tidy and much improved under Cooper and will have nothing to lose, just need to do our stuff and stay calm, leaving bomb-scares like Vestergaard away from the team sheet (although Soyuncu is prone to gifting things this season) would rule out that way in to the game for Forest and keep 11 on the pitch if it gets feisty. Changed me mind, 2-0 City, Daka & Barnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed me mind, 2-0 City, Daka & Barnes. Agree with all of the above. The one worry is that we will be bullied by Forest. We are easily the weakest (physically) team in the premier league and this total lack of power, presence or any jot of physicality, will give confidence to the opposition. Think we may get brushed aside (hope not!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon most of this guys that post on there are armchair fans. It’s pretty boring posting the same old crap but they’re right about not being our rivals. They should aspire to be but seem happy where they are. Currently so far behind us. Bobby Moore was one of our biggest fans and had been travelling home and away, every week, for 60 years. we also lost another massive Leicester fan, Martin Lowe 2 weeks ago. The last couple of weeks have been awful for our fan base and all 3 will be sorely missed. RIP. Bobby, Martin and Liam. Really hope we can put a win on the board on Sunday for all three. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re forever banging on about us going into administration for some reason, like it’s something we did on purpose. It was not exactly a great time for the club!

The list goes on, this game ain't even close in terms of stakes other than local pride. Saying that it's big for our travelling fans who have not been Forest for years as well as the younger lot who may have never been. This is one of their biggest in a while mind, my Forest mates are all bang up for it. Other than them bottling the play offs on the final day I can't remember many big games they've had recently? Other than the Brian Clough trophy of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m so very tempted to get the 956 to Market Harborough from Leicester and then the 1033 from there which is the first call at Leicester that runs through to Nottingham. Just so I don’t have to deal with the hassle at Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 4 February 2022 Share Posted 4 February 2022 2 hours ago, Ric Flair said: This game was always pretty huge but the tragic passing this week of two of the biggest Leicester fans and characters out there in our Liam and Bobby Moore, who posted on Bentleys Roof and was a massive presence throughout the years makes this game even more important that we get the win for those two. Legends Shame there is a total disconnect between the fanbase and the players and as such they won't know about either of these tragedies. Would have fired them up 100%.

jeffschlupp Posted 4 February 2022 Share Posted 4 February 2022 By my reckoning no surprise absentees in the training video - 18 fit outfielders + 3 GKs means only Fofana, Vardy, Castagne, Evans, Bertrand and Mendy miss this one. First time we might not have an U23 on the bench in what feels like forever. I'd imagine it'll be full strength with Ricardo making the bench for now: Schmeichel (c) Justin Amartey Soyuncu Thomas Ndidi Tielemans Lookman Maddison Barnes Daka Subs: Ward, Ricardo, Vestergaard, Choudhury, Soumare, Dewsbury-Hall, Albrighton, Perez, Iheanacho Harsh on KDH but I think we'll need width and pace in a high-intensity game like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
