reddogkev Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Provided we revert back to our Pembo form, and don't have a negative mind-set after being spanked by Brighton, then we should give Forest a good game on Saturday. They've won 3 games in their last 10, lost their last 2 on the bounce, and seem to be drawing games for fun. It might sound strange after losing 4-0 at home, but I fancy us to win by a couple of goals. I'll go City to win 2-0. I'll also stick my neck out and say Agard won't be taking any of our penalties.

Corsham Ed Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Our record at the City ground over recent years is not that good. I would take a draw if offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the big one is on the horizon, I'll forgive whatever else happens this season if we do a job on Cardiff - wonder what the atmosphere will be like at the Gate??? Still, be nice to take home the 3 points from Forest. If we could beat Forest and Cardiff, then LJ becomes a God overnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I said before Brighton I would be happy with 4 points from the next 3 games. Still think we can achieve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WsM-Red Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I think a draw would be a good result away from home. As I've said previously, as long as we beat Rotherham and Bolton at home, we will only need a few draws or another win and a couple of draws in between.

Fiale Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 They are in the same last 6 match form as us, and currently are probably just a little to good for us. I imagine a close game, but think they will win - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaceboy Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 4points over the next couple of games would indeed be a great return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Cigar Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Interestingly, they've only scored two more goals than us (31 vs. 29), but have shipped in 28 to our 52. I think only 3 teams have better defensive records. I'll be there, unfortunately I think we'll lose 1-0. They were pretty dire in the reverse game in October. The usual applies though - we need to start brightly and get an early goal. Same story all season. And of course be ruthless in front of goal. A good indication of how up for this we'll be is us winning the 50-50s. When everyone gets stuck in, wins back possession immediately, we seem to be on song. Again, the first half v Forest at the Gate was probably our best 45mins this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireSection Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Can't see us getting anything from the Forrest game we never do. As for Cardiff, we should have stuffed them at their place but they've got the best keeper in the league, a draw would be a good result considering the talent they have in comparison to us................but then there's Russell Slade, more unpopular at the time than the LJ appointment, they hate him.

shelts Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I think we will bounce back after Tuesday and take all three points. We was lucky to get nil against Brighton but Forest are a different proposition not nearly as strong. Think it will be tight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 We do have a target to aim for: in the Brighton game we afforded our opponents a goal/shots strike rate of 133.33333% If we really try hard, and put in the graft between now and Saturday, I am sure we can do better than this.

Chairman Mao Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 why is everyone here scared of notts florest? 1980 was a long long time ago they are average and we comprehensively outplayed them at AG, sure they had injuries but still, this is a side that is not even close to Brighton 1-1 imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really understood why fans and the media look at recent records...the turnaround of players and managers is so regular and quick that records just don't matter, it will be a different 11 versus a different 11 in most cases. If it was exactly the same team against exactly the same team year after year and we never won then I'd be concerned, but records just don't matter when the players ain't the same....

ExiledRobin Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hopefully a win as I live 20 mins from the city ground, my son supports forest as do many colleagues at work and bragging rights in Monday would be great! However a draw seems our best chance of any points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means absolutely nothing whatsoever. So do I but you can`t deny that some clubs have bogey sides. I`d suggest Leeds, Forest, Ipswich and Brighton for us but we`re the bogey side for Middlesbrough and Coventry. I`ve no idea why it should be and often the results go totally against the form book but it`s one of those things that make football special.
