Not beaten us at home since October 1994. Lost all 4 since they came up with an aggregate score of 12-4.

Bastard of an injury for MGW but means he will be playing unfortunately



Why does that mean he’ll be playing?


I think that’s his interpretation. When I saw the pic mine was the opposite. Stitches plus concussion mean he’ll be told to rest and recover other than light training.

How can you possibly play a few days after having more than a dozen stitches in your forehead?? That looks season ending to me.  Not concussion related, just no idea how you can protect and injury like that when heading is part of the game? It would be like have a dozen stitches across the top of your foot.

Their last two away games against Sunderland and Chelsea they have scored 8 times from 10 shots on target and 16 shots altogether. They are certainly being clinical at the moment. (Also 4 from 4 on target against Burnley). In those two away matches they have also conceded 1 from 35 shots at goal.

Thats frightening  form. Thats like a team fighting for the title.



Conversely it is the type of thing that is likely to go pop very quickly. Before this run they had been on a shocking run for goal scoring. Hopefully their luck hits an absolute brick wall on Thursday.

Ill tell you something if we do over come this its going to ever so sweet. Wehn you win  a game as under dogs it is bitter sweet.

In a mad way i think if we knock forest out i think the confidence  and belief goes sky high over night ans we win the trophy. Bit man have we made it fucking hard for ourselves

Also, you can't be totally focused when you're protecting a wound like that.

Not if you get an elbow into it early on.

Blah blah blah. Don’t want to hear it. Radio silence between now and Thursday and then do our talking on the pitch.

Seems strange to mention the need for togetherness and make the point of directors and managers ???

I very rarely vote against us in these things but I think the game will finish 1-1. Forest have hit form just at the right/wrong time.

To stand any chance of winning we will need to play like we did in the first half on Thu, all game. No good half bad half allowed this time around
