Pongo's Socks Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Buzzing for a 3 o'clock Saturday home game. Really excited for this. Forest don't offend me, I hope they stay up, but obviously want us to give them a good hiding today. I think the key is us scoring early. You'd think they'll be looking to sit deep and hit us on the break, we struggle with breaking that low block, especially later on in games. If we score first they'll have to play on the front foot more, which will suit us I think. Don't want it to be 0-0 after an hour, and we definitely don't want to be chasing an equaliser, they have the pace to exploit us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’ll score but that we’ll get 3 or more today. Bailey, Ollie x2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 A general question really...how many times have we conceded due to a direct error in the high line? I can think of the AZ goal at home, maybe a couple in the Newcastle away game? Our biggest errors seem to come from set prices or CMs dropping too deep on the first chase back and letting someone meet the ball on the edge of the box imo.

VillaChris Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 On 23/02/2024 at 08:32, Nigel said: Not for me, they are a half decent team. We may well win but it won't be easy. Can see it being a 3-2 type win for us, 2-0 up and then they pull a goal back etc. Forest had plenty of 3-2 defeats this season. Similar to Burnley at home which should've been an "easy" win but was anything but that. A front 3 of Elanga-Awoniyi-Hudson Odoi with Gibbs White as attacking midfielder will cause us issues though. Forest's problem is they've rarely had those four all fit at the same time. Perhaps Nuno will leave one of the wide players out and go a back 5 though.

villan95 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 They can be dangerous on the counter as shown by their win at Newcastle. As long as we guard against that we should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Not expecting to lose this, the confidence is coming back, we have trained and know the system without the missing players now, Pau back is massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blunther Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Awoniyi in for them. Would be good for someone to rough him up a bit the first five minutes while refs are still reluctant to get a card out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
