There's been a rumour that the worlds been flat for a long time. In fact it's been "around" for ages.

Thank you!

2-1 city after going 1 down. Bryan & Tammy to score.

So, if I understand this tread correctly, maps have led us to believe the north is bigger than it really is, and the south is actually bigger than we had thought.

So Nottingham is smaller than I have been led to believe and South Bristol is bigger.

All in all, with that new found knowledge I'm going for a 2-0 today.

Not sure the Gas are going to accept this theory

Bristol Roves use the same principal when calculating their attendances and fan base.

Lee Johnson vs Forest 2007

Their fans couldn't be any less optimistic

I'll be following the game from afar...and a 5 hour time difference! COYR!!!!

[Shtanley]

A strange team but I guess we have some tired legs. Excited to see Reid at 10, shame he hasn't got another Reid playing behind him though. Moore has a lot of pace so I hope he can get involved going forward.

Have fond memories of the one all draw during the promotion season under GJ; Forest's cocky manager dismissing chances of promotion pre-game, saying they'd win all their games and over take us - was nice to see them capitulate and have to go to the play offs.

Blimey; hide the bleach.

Some seem to think the return of key players will make them more competitive, but sounds like Fulham should have beat them, and considering we battered Fulham, that's not the worst sign.

[samo II]

Tremendously mobile team; interested to see Pack, Brownhill and Reid in that central area.

Having watched Forest this season, they've been exposed by pace, so I see the logic here - plus that is a hell of a bench if we need to freshen things up.

COYR!

This is exactly why you build a squad rather than just a team. Unlike last year, we're able to shuffle the pack and still field a team that looks more than capable of winning the game. Also entirely understandable given we've had midweek games for three consecutive weeks.

[petehinton]

Don't like Brownhill instead of O'Neil. Unsure on this side tbh. Hope I'm proved wrong but not as confident about the game after seeing this 11. 

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Well a good line up,  although without LT perhaps we won't be so dangerous up front, but still I am going for a win for City by the odd goal. COYRs!

[Nogbad the Bad]

Good to see Brownhill in, thought he'd feature from the start today.

Time to leg it down the Gate.

COME ON CITY, PULVERIZE FOREST

Not too confident with the starting 11...would be happier with O'Neil in with Pack.....think we will struggle.

O'Neil not fit

He wouldn't be on the bench if he wasn't fit.

Besides, he only missed the last few games due to illness.

I would be if we've not just won two games without O'Neil.

The fact we can call on him from the bench is a bonus, but think the fact we have a mobile looking side facing a team who've been repeatedly exposed by pace is a good thing.

With 7 places on the bench you can risk O'Neill with the hope of giving him 20mins. Expect to see Bryan or Freeman if a midfield change is needed sooner.

[old_eastender]

Missing Joe Bryan a bit of a concern to me, Golbourne does not offer the same outlet on the overlap.

[CheddarReds]

Paterson, Reid, O'Dowda certainly sounds exciting behind Tammy!

Blimey 2 on one thread and when i were a lad it were top of my career desires; i then found out the salary scale and decided the Ordnance Survey was not for me.

It seems to work in reverse this close to the equator; the Philippines are small and perhaps that is why the place feels and is hugely over-crowded.

I think the justification is the loss of Tomlin; perhaps Brownhill will be more creative than O'Neill. I applaud Lee's boldness. GON can always come on if it needs greater solidity.

4 Solid defenders behind a very mobile front 6.

If anyone is wondering the game is on  Radio Bristol's DAB only.

COYR ! I bet on our side for the first time in years. Any chance to find a stream or something I am hungry of watching some games with the reeeeds...

Plenty of semi fit players sit on bench across the country every Saturday.  Not completely over illness

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Fulham lost 2-1 to QPR and missed two penalties!
