Nottingham Forest - Reading

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

To be played on Saturday 13th March 2021.

At the City Ground Nottingham.

Kick off is at 3PM.

[Knocker West]

Well I had a feeling about the last game & I was wrong, so I'm not confident about my confidence this time.

[Paplane]

I reckon we can do 'em this time.

[Strawberry Avenger]

The last three games have been very close. Errors. Lapses in concentration. Not tracking back. Not scoring.

I expect Forest to be competitive v Reading.

Watford only won by K.Oing our keeper.

Reading have been fragile at times in the top 6. I don't care how we score. Pinball it off someone's backside.

Let's get the win. We need one.

Cafu must come back in for me and I would like Blackett to get a chance. This would be my team but not CH's team!

I would put Taylor in ahead of Murray for the first hour at least and see how he gets on with the service provided by Krovinovic and Garner, but go with the rest of your selection Sniff

Yep, I was thinking maybe go Taylor and see how it goes. He's not going to hit any form playing 10 minutes every week so if we're going to get something from him he's going to need a chance at some point. I personally think he needs some decent coaching too. Hopefully CH can provide that.  He looks lightweight physically when compared to Murray and Grabban and someone's got to get into his head, and coach him so he's not to just falling over all the time.

Not sure about playing Blackett though chaps.

I would be happy for Taylor to get a start, I didn't put him in my team but I would have no problem with him starting.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Ive never been a huge fan of Taylor but he does seem to have totally lost his confidence at the moment. That doesnt mean I would write him off especially as he might be the only striker under contract in 2 months time. Maybe an arm around the shoulder from CH to tell him he has faith and a start on Saturday is whats needed.

For LB I would probably try Blackett as the least worst option.

[PsychoStanleyStone]

once again, i'd go with a plan A, B and C, this is multifaceted as in a proper plan, the plan A is all about not losing/damage limitation maybe bludgeoning a way through and maybe something truly amazing happens like we score, this probably won't happen so we switch to plan B on around 35 minutes, just for 10 minutes i'd have Worrall, Ameobi and Mighten up top, no need for to elaborate build up, just get it upto them somehow and either through pure determination and passion or some amazing trickery or whatever get a goal.

If McKenna is fit i'd leave Worrall up top

At HT and 50 minutes bring on Cafu, Knocky, Lolley, Garner and Krov and try to win the game with tempo and play the ball into the net, assuming of course we aren't already 4 nil up at this stage and they aren't required so just leave the predominantly blockers on Yates, Sow, Colback, Blackett maybe Soh, you know the brick wall.

I am 99% sure that Ribeiro won't be here next season so with that in mind I would like to see Blackett in the team for a period of time to show what he can do.
