Jerseybean Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 For a superstitious City fan like me disaster has just struck. Just going to walk the dog when his lead broke! Obviously this means that, should we go ahead tonight, we won’t be able to hold onto the lead! 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been done by somebody at the club. Should be easy to identify the culprit, he/she has left a bloody gert finger print on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players you quoted + Worrall are all the options we have. The rest of the bench will be U21’s. Aguilera is the only attacking option on the bench. Yates went off injured vs Blackpool and we had to put Nico Williams in Midfield. What's the deal with Worrall? He seems to have gone from key player to outcast rather quickly.

Lew-T Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 3 hours ago, Forest Red said: Hi all, A Forest fan in peace. I’m looking forward to the game tonight, it should be a good old fashioned cup tie with no VAR to ruin the match. I see some are speculating on injuries - we’ve got a few. We are down to one striker, Wood with Callum Hudson Odoi on the wing. MGW I believe is still injured, Elanga is out and of course Awoniyi. We’ve also lost 6 players to AFCON. Other than that, we can’t defend and all our goalkeepers are crap. Nuno will play a strong team, mainly cos we don’t have much option. Probably 4231: Turner Montiel - Omabamidele - Murillo - Tavares Yates - Mangala CHO - Danilo - Dominguez Wood I have fond memories of BC matches - the 2 v 1 win in our promotion season is the moment we started to believe something special was happening. Lyle Taylor had his only good match for us and his penalty gave every Forest fan a heart attack. Good luck and let’s hope for a rip roaring entertaining FA Cup tie. That keeper of yours is a bit of a car crash from the games I have come across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fell out spectacularly with Steve Cooper - Coops dropped him for the trip to Anfield, Worrall threw his toys out the pram and refused to travel to the game. As he’s club Captain, most people think he’s in the wrong. The other issue is he’s too slow and can get bullied by Prem forwards so he’s lucky to make the bench anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did make me laugh though, when he came round he was chatting nonsense as expected, and he blurted out the gas lost dad.

Open End Numb Legs Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 21 hours ago, pongo88 said: This seems strange: ”Nottingham Forest’s iconic nickname, “The Reds,” is linked to the legendary folk hero, Robin Hood.” Robin Hood was traditionally shown dressed in Lincoln Green. So we are saying that Robin Hood was colour blind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boring answer was that when the club was formed in 1865, they bought 12 tasseled caps in colour of Garibaldi red (named after the Italian freedom fighter and his ‘redshirts’) Thus our nickname is the Garibaldi Reds. Our first ground was at the Forest Racecourse hence, Nottingham Forest. The whole Robin Hood nonsense happened a lot later. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a little known fact that Robin Hood often wore spectacles bought from Spec Savers. In later life he wore contact lenses that were coloured to make his eyes look green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
