MATCHWATCH : Nottingham Forest (h)

[Royals and Racers]

Hopefully Hoilett is fit and can play instead of the waste of space that is Puscas.

[John Smith]

Forest have been in good form up until now but very often the international break disrupts that momentum. I think we will see this tomorrow.

3-1 Reading and very possibly with Puscas finally breaking his duck.

Do you think Samba will be feeling charitable in goal again?

[Hound]

they've been on pretty good form since Cooper joined, but only one win in the last 4. So not like they are on fire or anything. Quite a few late equalisers/winners have kept their run going - not that that means a lot in itself, but points to a team that keeps fighting to the end etc

reckon a 1-1 is on the cards. Be a bit disappointed not to win though, don't think they are particularly special

The Forest forum has a thread titled “Brice Samba - Magic Hands” not sure if it is ironic or not, but I hope he comes up with the kind of magic we have seen in the past.

Why would anyone think Andy Carroll is fit enough to start this game?

I think it's more hope than belief. As in an unfit Andy Carroll for 45mins could have more impact on the game than a fully match fit Puscas over 90mins.

He needs to play games to get the fitness and sharpness back. Would presume he’ll get a couple of 20-30 minute cameos from the bench v Forest and Sheffield and then perhaps start for an hour or so v Swansea? Or perhaps that’s too much in a week.

Rino now six weeks into his "one week away from returning to the first team" !!!!

Yes, all that hope of possibly 3 or 4 back and only Drinkwater has made it

[Snowflake Royal]

No Araruna after playing two unders games a couple weeks back.

Pretty desperate stuff.

Hard on TDB who has been more than decent when used in position.

5 at the back or Yiadom RW do we think?

[CountryRoyal]

Who’s that new guy on the bench? Hopefully he can come on and be Abrefa fresh air.

Yeah he does look like Jesus, so this, or in the second game rather than getting crocked, he gets sent off for elbowing someone going up for a header, and cue lots of he’s not the messiah he’s a very naughty boy comments.

Nailed it.

Apparently he chose us as Jesus doesn't like crosses and, according to the stats, nor does Reading.

There's so many levels to this post.

Outstanding.

Yep good effort Morgan.

Another reason we chose him is we won't need a keeper on the bench either.

If Southwood gets injured he can deputise.

I don’t think Jesus would make a very good keeper, he had massive holes in his hands.

WTF are Forest wearing!?
