Septic Peg Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Good morning city fans! Now I'm sure this has been mentioned already but a certain referee is in charge today. Oh yes, the massive City hater Keith Stroud will be walking into the pitch with the teams. But here's a fun fact: he hates Forest too and their supporters haven't taken it well either........ I've been using www.worldfootball.net for these stats - https://www.worldfootball.net/referee_summary/keith-stroud/nottingham-forest/4/ So the stats for Stroudy v Forest are thus: 24 games reffed of which 5 Forest wins, 11 losses and 8 draws. Compared to our stats of 24 games reffed by him, we have 3 wins, 13 losses and 8 draws. Digging deeper, I've found that he has also given us 34 yellow cards and 2 red cards during those 24 games - ratio suggesting he's always putting his hand in his pocket during City games. Compared to Forest, he's given out an incredible 43 yellows and 2 reds in Forest games. That's nearly 2 yellows per game... Safe to say he hates Forest too... So if the Forest fans are anything like us, Keeeeef won't be flavour of the month with them. I headed over to the forum and I wasn't disappointed. "Keith Stroud against WBA was definitely bent" "That ref is a ****." "I don't want to upset anybody but Keith Stroud is an absolute c-word." So today's game could literally go either way. Forest fans are losing confidence with their manager Sabri Lamouchi and have yet to win since they beat us back in July. Forest supporters are hoping for a City win to be the final straw in ending Sabri's management. Because of Stroud and the balanced way he's treated both teams, I'll say 1-1 draw but expect lots of cards and even a penalty. COYRS! Link to comment

The Gasbuster Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Notts (they hate that) 1-2 City Link to comment
wendyredredrobin Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 You certainly don't get a flowing entertaining game of football whilst the Keith Stroud show is going on. Really hoping that we can maintain our 100% start to the season this afternoon and something tells me that Patto is going to add to his tally. My gut feeling is a 1-1 draw though. Link to comment
bcfc01 Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hoping that Notts don't "click" today and get their first point(s) and goal(s). Also hoping for another clean sheet for us. They've got some very good players and a good squad, but do they have a team yet ? 2-0 win. Link to comment

wendyredredrobin Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Anyone think that DaSilva might be ready for a start or to much of a risk, perhaps? I get the feeling DH likes a settled team, so suspect an unchanged starting 11, subject to fitness. Link to comment

Jockmcwurzel Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Is Robins TV still showing games only for international supporters despite not being able to attend live games? Link to comment
Ska Junkie Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Blimey, just had a read of the Forest match day thread on their forum. They're not expecting much and one of their posters thinks we'll win the league! No pressure then! I don't really understand why Forest are struggling so badly, they've a very good side.

JamesBCFC Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Quote Bristol will win the Championship IMO. I really like Nahki Wells, one of the best strikers of the league. He reminds me to Saviola, am I crazy? And Paterson is doing really well... I'd like him to have more matches to show his talent at Forest. Response to this Forest fan. Yes, you are. Link to comment

It seems that the Forest fans don’t like him either, reading on their forum. They want the ‘piped’ crowd noise to include a ‘8@stard Referee’ chant!!! Link to comment

Yeah be good to get a point here regardless of previous results. I see some of their fans think this is his last game if they lose. Not quite sure how they set up and im sure @Davefevs has an overview worth noting. I'm going for a 2-2 draw with the ref being centre of attention! Link to comment
Davefevs Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 O’Dowda in travelling squad. Link to comment
BCFC Rich Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I would say Forest have enough quality to (at the very least) finish top half. Looking at their forum its seems it could be make or break for Sabri. So in an odd way I think he will either manage to get the players up for it and begin to turn things around - in which case we lose by a goal. Or he is unable to get the players motivated enough in which case we win comfortably and he goes. Link to comment
