Meh Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Obviously we want to give a good account of ourselves in both and I think we will see 2 good similar teams but considering Korey’s injury and the fact Leko and Woodrow are cup-tied. Something like :- Saturday Fielding Wright - Flint - Baker - Bryan Elliason - Brownhill - Pack - Leko Reid - Woodrow Wednesday Fielding Wright - Flint - Baker - Bryan Brownhill - Reid - Pack - Paterson Reid - Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redysteadygo1 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I know Bobbie has upped his game this season but to expect him to occupy two positions against Manchester is a bit much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I think the best way to beat united is to play a 460/451 formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Think Smith will feature in one if not both. But I think Woodrow and Leko will feature on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win on Saturday first, and then move on to Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has but I think if Frankie is fit then he will play - same back 5 for both to keep that solid unit - changes in the middle and up front for me trying to keep everybody happyish and I think now is a good time with hectic Xmas schedule to change it around a bit to avoid further injuries - not drastic and not weakening the side - we still have decent squad replacements - we should use them. Risking Korey this Saturday seems a step too far - surely the wound is not healed enough that one hard tackle won’t open it up again and potentially put him out for a fortnight plus !!

GrahamC Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I appreciate we have to do Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday in the next week but to me the Forest game has to be the only priority. I still wouldn't risk Korey in it though, as he simply cannot be confident in the tackle with that sort of wound. I'd go Fielding Wright Flint Baker Bryan Paterson Pack Brownhil Eliasson Reid Woodrow I do expect Steele to face Manchester, Taylor to replace the cup tied Woodrow and Korey to come in for Eliasson if he is fit enough, with Magnússon playing instead if he is not, with Bryan then moving into midfield.

OldlandReddies Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Steele deserves to play v Manure having got us this far. Smith cant be risked in either. Magners will start over Baker/JB v Manure with Kelly stepping up as well. Reid should be rested for Wednesday in view of desperate striker shortage. Thats what i would do anyways !

Ivorguy Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Would like to see Flint play the no 9 role on Wednesday with Hörður coming in in defence. If Flint succeeds makes January easier. Easier to get a first rate no 5 than a no 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SStandUp Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 How come Leko and Woodrow cannot play against United? Surely with West Brom & Fulham no longer in the cup, we should be ok But without this two, we are going to look so frail.. the next 3 games are gunna be so tough. It's a shame we won't have a fully fit squad to put on a good show against United... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Agree with the one game at a time approach. Think about Manchester when it comes. For now, 100% should be going into preparing for Forest. We could be 1 point off second or down to 6th with others breathing down our neck depending on how things go. Massive. Hopefully, a starting place vs Manchester will be an extra incentive to perform well, not that these lads need one. This group have given everything so far this season.

One could argue that there are 25 league games left to gain points for playoffs/promotion but this is our only shot at a major semi final and probably the biggest scalp in English football.

More likely a desire for us to finally test ourselves at the very highest level, rather than achieve a solitary win in a competition that changes its name every 2 years.
