is the Hooters still open by the City Ground ?
Unfortunately yes. It's not by City ground more near the station and County ground. Walked past it a few times on my many trips to Trent Bridge.
One of my mates suggested going there last time i went to Trent Bridge.  I said, no - they'll think were there to collect our daughters

They’re strong at home. We’ll need to be right at it.

The way we've been starting games under Unai, generally, reminds me of Liverpool during their 13/14 season where they'd come out at 100mph and create chance after chance and before the opposition had time to think, they were two or three goals down.

They had Suárez who could finish better than anyone we have, this isn't a dig at Ollie but we need to be more consistent with finishing chances. Zaniolo's from Ollie's flick on Sunday was a good example.

Not really. 1 win (gimme against Sheffield United) and three draws with Brentford, Luton and Burnley. I predict a funeralling.

I’m talking more broadly since Cooper came in. It’s more they’re not easy to beat. I hope you’re right though!

Luton scored twice against them. Forest are bang average. Much like the Burnley game I expect us to dominate possession and just be too good overall across 90 min.

The Franz Carr derby. Hope he gets a warm reception at half-time if he's paraded.
So, players who have played for both teams: Carr, Calderwood, Collymore, Lansbury, Charles, Parker, Withe, Lichaj, Adomah, Hodge, Cash, Hutton…

Had a glance at a Forest forum and quite a few think it’s their time to get a win. Conversely I think it’s time for us to put on a show away from home.
