I've only seen them once at Brighton and they looked desperately poor.

You say that about all of them! But we still shit our pants and give away a lead no matter how supposedly crap the team we're playing is.

Somebody else must have seen the game to confirm. Brighton could have had a lot more than 3.

Given my son in law's the Forest equivalent of the most pessimistic Villa fan, family loyalties prevent me making any kind of prediction in case it tempts fate, in whatever direction.

I have a friend who can fix that fence you sat on and a know a doctor who can remove those splinters from your derriere.

I hope at least one of Tish or the Jedi are playing or it could be tough.
They did looked pretty crap in that Brighton defeat.
We really need to win these two home games to get the season going.
Maybe 1-0 to us.

This "looking forward to a game" thing makes a lovely change.

Should win, might lose, might draw even but a team full of new players makes it easier to watch after the recent horrors.

Another frustrating afternoon. Usual second-half disintegration. 2-2.

They've won 3 in a row and are 7th, hardly in disarray, it's going to be a really tough game. Looking for the team to start gelling and fighting and showing some leadership and thinking on the pitch.

Don't forget Forest have the added bonus of Gardner not playing for them
