So based on the first game only they look more prepared and ready for this. But Wassy if you were to say take us at the end of the season last year then i would expect us to beat them.

Yes i know we have a different team since then and i get what you mean but actually same issues are there that we are suffering from now. Which i why i think it is wise to weary of it.

Mine was more of an anti Sheff U post than pro Forest! One shot on target, 0.39 xG at home against an average team. I thought they'd be slightly better than that. They were lucky not to concede more, Palace missed some great chances. 

I'm sure it'll be a tight game, particularly assuming we match them up with three at the back. I suspect everyone will be moaning after 30 mins!

I would be absolutely amazed if there is any moaning in the ground on Friday, unless we are 3-0 at half time. 

The atmosphere in the ground is nothing like here or social media.

That part of the lineup looks good to me!  All those players are where they play best, and they are all on the pitch at once.

Unless the Brennan move has progressed I think you might be disappointed there.

It'll be the same team as last weekend, except Taiwo will come in for one of Yates/Danilo/Mangala I would imagine. Unless Felipe/Niakhate are fit enough to start.

There in talks fella. Your not going to risk a 50m sale.

We really need three point’s tomorrow.

Brennan strikes me as the kind of person who will make himself unavailable if there is a real prospect of the move happening.
