First away match for me this season, hopefully a happier one than last time I was there!

Would be nice to see Oliveira perhaps featured.

 

[morty]

Ivo Pinto should be fine, Tettey doubtful, Brady should return.

Doesn't sound like we'll see Olveira.

Brady in for Tettey the only change, Oliveira still not in the 18

 

[Din]

Mulumbu not even on the bench either. Seeing as Tettey's injured I would've bought him in as I think the lack of a ball-winning midfielder very nearly cost us in the 2nd half of the Wigan game. I also don't really understand why we have two centre backs on the bench? Why don't we leave Bassong out and put Canos on the bench?

Have to say I'm not massively confident, though that said Forest are missing Assombalonga which is obviously good news. Gonna say 1-1.

 

[Din]

Swear we actually enjoy making things hard for ourselves. Gave away stupid goals late on in the last 2 games meaning we had to see the game out nervously, and today we were given the opportunity to take the lead through a penalty and we go and miss it (though tbf I haven't seen it back but it sounded like a good save),we then concede before half time and have to come back from behind to win the game.

Sounded like the general performance level was better than it has been though, and no denying 9 points from our 3 games this week is excellent. Things seem to be going the right way and we're now in 2nd so no complaints.

Burton at home next where you'd hope we are able to extend this winning run, before Newcastle away which'll be huge.

 

[dj161]

cant complain at all really, three straight wins and up to second, going by the twitter updates sounded like Jacob Murphy was involved in everything we did, he's really starting to come in to his own now, and he must be one of the first names on the team sheet, only real disappointment is that we just cant keep clean sheets lately, but if that means we go out more attacking and win then I don't mind at all, also good to see Dorrans getting on the scoresheet as I feel he's a much better player especially at this level than a lot of people give him credit for

 

[ZLF]

Really stepped it up second half and a deserved win.   Not sure about 2 CBs either, perhaps cover for both full backs sill coming back from or being injury prone at the moment or because attacking full backs leaves us exposed.   I don't get it either and would think canos or even a more multi positional covering Whittaker would be better.

Am pleased thompson was ahead of Mulumbu, unclear whether rumours of an injury are true or whether Mulumbu s lack of discipline v Wigan and not doing what asked,. Is just sit deep, cost him.

Jacob deserving his spot and dorrans class is coming through.   Add nelson to freshen up Jerome in last 20 and we should be able to kick on from here.

As long as the players graft to show their craft

 

[Canaryboy]

Surely Alex Neil is just trolling Kyle Lafferty now, bringing him on a 90+4  :lol:

 

[Canaryboy]

Have to point out that dropping Naismith from the squad has seen us win 3 games in a row, glad to see that Alex Neil was frank about his reasons. 

We had better hope Naismith does force his way back into contention because if he doesn't then we've got no chance of anybody taking him in January.

 

[Dubai Mark]

No problem with dropping Naismith, and no problem with Naismith either, form is temporary and he is class and will at some point get himself sorted and be a match winner for us over this very long season. We really do not know whats is going on behind the scenes and some of the comments relating to Naismith I see elsewhere are uncalled for and just plain nasty.
