Yeah looks very spikey, I see a very good athlete there though.  

He does seem to have the tools, but will he have the head? That's gonna come with good coaching and time which he isn't going to get before the game

Yet more rape cases

Possibly but he's unknown to them. Hardwork and graft is the order of the day, let the likes of McNeil pick up scraps. 

To be fair, he's unknown to us too. I have no expectations of the lad at this point. From what little we've seen, I wouldn't put it past him to get a red card.

Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole, he's a right spunk goblin. Didn't rate him at all with Bournemouth, didn't rate him with Sheffield United and was surprised that he got the level up to Arsenal. 

He's viral and considered a good 'keeper because he turns to the crowd and does a little fist pump when he takes a goal kick. All the kids on LAD Bible love it, as for actually being a goalkeeper he's painfully average - not surprised in the slightest that Arteta dropped him sharpish and brought in Raya.

Genuinely wouldn't have him here, and I'm well aware we're shit too.

Glad you sat on the fence there mate...

                     Pickford

            Tarks,    Bran,   Myko

Harrison      Gana     Garner       McNeil

                Gomes    Doucoure

                             DCL

To get Gomes in the side I would be tempted to go with back 3/5 for this game. Think we need a soild two behind him. Maybe Onana in middle instead of Garner, and put him as right wingback (or even Young).  I just think need something solid out of possession and a slightly different formation to mix things up. Gomes can be other body in the middle but could just open things up on the counter with slightly more intelligent balls. 

As this game is a bit of free hit as not expecting a result, its a game where you can try something different. 

 

I can see a 451 and packing the midfield hoping to counter.

Exactly what we don't need but also absolutely need. I genuinely have no idea how I'd cope with a Qatari owner, I've had a hard time with Moshiri throwing money around and linked with dodgy characters as it is. I boycotted the World Cup in Russia and Qatar, how can I then support the business? Maybe I'll have to make that distinction in my head, split the club and the business.

David Coote is on VAR for this game and he's from Nottingham.

I wonder if we'll complain .

If he did fudge decisions, how would it be any different?

Wouldn't a Luton fan have preferred a draw yesterday anyway?

Keeps Forest 1 point closer rather than them getting 1 or 3. At this point it's so tight I think they will have wanted the physiological impact to hit 1 team or the other and preferably Forest since they're closer.

So did they or didn't they? They seem determined to fight the bullshit at least.

Everton 0- 4 red lot

None.

If he'd been our keeper in any of the last three seasons we'd have been relegated. He's absolute garbage.

Fortunately, for my own sanity, we'll never be able to afford him so I don't have to worry.

I've been happy since yesterday and then you have to go and suggest this shit stain replacing one of the best! Stop it .

You're mean. I'm going to search for this month's u18 promising goalkeeper signings for revenge...

Fuck off. He's shite!

Well, so are we

Dunno who else would be of interest and would be interested, just saw his name in the BBC gossip and thought if Pickford is moving he'd be an option.

I'm pretty sure he'll be one of the "assests" we'll look to move on. Ramsdale is being rumoured to other clubs, if Pickford were to go I'd hope we were after him.

There are lots of strong words about Forest's tweet concerning not been given a penelty or three yesterday. Pretty much all commentary is saying that they have really embarressing themselves with the club itself branding an individual an outright cheat. 

As shit as it is when desisions go against you, you can't have clubs coming out every week making all sorts of public formal allegations and essentially threats (even if hollow)

Could Forest be charged with bring the game in to disripute for calling the game official cheats? Does pulling a stunt like this help or hinder their appeals to the points deduction?

Irony is how Forest where lauded for being such a helpful and co-operative club - for which they received a generouse 33% reduction in their points deduction. They have not been particulay helpful since that decision. 

The kopites have done this, Arsenal too I heard, but nothing really was made of it for very long. So naturally they'll get a fine.

My head says 2-0 forest my heart says 1-0 us. 
As my dear old mum use to say “Howay hinney gan with your heart son “ she was probably talking about lasses at the time.

Everton 1-0 Forest

Beto 

So close! Usually though, when it comes to your head, heart is probably the right choice

It takes time for many to adjust to the pace and physicality of the Premier League. We expect foreign players to simply jump in, and some are able to do so, but others take time. I would expect Beto to steadily improve and, if we're patient, he could become a major asset.

Love the optimism, but I don't think he'll ever be a major asset anywhere
