I like that side, just a case of whether Callum is proper match fit. LJ said he is naturally fit to play, but having been out I wonder whether he will. Weird how no mention of Adelakun again in press conference. No mention of him being injured, I wonder what's going on there as he hasn't played for a while.

Any links to the pre-match presser? Been looking on city site and twitter but can't see anything. Was it today?

Reading the first 2 names you put gives us Niki Hunt.

That is a worry.

It will be the same as Bournemouth but the new lad in goal. Why start your last friendly with a different team you intend on starting the season, injuries permitting of course. 

Nobody played badly and none of the subs did anything exceptional which may make LJ start them. Other than perhaps Eisa in for Taylor but I wouldn't start him yet. He needs blooding a bit.

Genuinely amazed at the number starting with Taylor.

Definitely the Emperor’s new clothes.

Bar “running around” he offers us absolutely nothing, we looked far better with Paterson behind Weimann.

Not sure about the starting eleven, but on the Forest forum they are predicting "a win for the famous team".

Anyone know who this mysterious third team is?

I do chuckle at our recent chant exchanges with them, ahem:

Forest fans: “1-0 to the famous team”

City fans: “You’re not famous anymore”

Forest fans: “Champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that”

City fans: “Johnstone Paints Trophy winners, you’ll never sing that”

Done that with Villa too didnt we.

3-1 home win in their first season down.

Bryan won’t start for me because of his contract situation lj did the same to flint 

Flint had a contract till 2020 last summer, he was left out due to ongoing transfer bids/speculation from Birmingham, according to LJ  we've had no bids for Bryan officially so no reason not to play him if fit.

I'd rather Niki be in the center of the goal mouth as opposed to the corner flag ?

Different situation, no bids for Bryan, unlike Flint.  Who would you start at LB, as Kelly hasn’t got up to 100% in pre-season with niggly injuries?  Print or Pisano....or Bailey Wright, or even Baker at LB?

Joe will start unless he is sold / under a bid.

I would go 4-4-1-1.

Paterson and Eliasson with Pack and Smith both under strict instructions that at all times one of them has to actually be in a holding position.

And controversially I would start with Brownhill in behind Wiemann as a number 10 IMO he is the only player on the books who can thread a ball in and around the opponents 18 yard box.

Its a real shame that Diedhiou is out as he will love the crosses from Elliasson if he can replicate his pre-season form in the League. His cross for Weimann last Friday was brilliant!

I think it will be the team same team from Friday when Smith replaced Taylor and pushed Patto behind Weimann, unless COD is fit enough and then either Elliasson or Smith will make way for him.

Not a bad shout at all. He can score goals too!

I really rate Brownhill, think he’s a top player.

Love that, with what we’ve got fit and available. More difficult when everyone’s back, however.

Definitely would go with that.

Think it's our best setup/shape/system/formation anyway, the 4-3-3.

Will be Weimann to start then Eisa for last 15 mins , should be other way round , Eisa is raw and hungry , throw him straight in , Weimann is an experienced pro but will never score enough to warrant a starting birth most weeks ... 

lj needs to show some faith in his signing and play Eisa otherwise he will quickly become another Taylor unused and untested at this level...
