Samba
Christie
Worrall
Figs
Bong
Colback
Garner
Krovinovic
Knockaert
Grabban
Ameobi
I'd be happy with that. Though Cafu was part of a Forest side that did well against Coventry 1st half. And I wonder if Chris will repeat the Colback sub to gradually get minutes into his legs?

It's an option. Blitz them on pace later. Entice the error or a goal.

I think so.

The play off push is under way.
We are going to be THAT team this season who has a barnstorming second half of the season, gate crash the play offs......then probably lose to Swansea in the semis.
Yeah, he'd lost the plot for the sending off.
Unchanged team to start and probably similar subs late on. Mighten to feature on the subs bench.
The script is written?
If Forest get a win they go mid table and things look far better. And that could impact their confidence to keep going and see where it takes them.

Just a fun fact. Bong has won on average 1,8 aerial battles per game where as Ribs has won 2,7. Ribs is actual number 5 on that list with only Yates, McKenna, Figs and the new guy Garner ahead of him.
RE: Wycombe Wanderers - Nottingham Forest - Paplane - 05-02-2021
CH doesn't muck about with the back 4 much. Only if he forced to through injury. So after an away win and a clean sheet in the game before that I doubt he'll change it.

Yes but did you see Coventry putting any balls or crosses into the box? You can only head what is there!
That is why I don't take too much notice of so called facts. They can get easily distorted.
I realise you are trying to make me look stupid Gari but I am sorry. Bong is much better in the air than Ribeiro and the facts can say what they want. If Coventry had put 50 crosses into the box then I am sure Bong would be well ahead in terms of aerial battles won. There is a reason why teams put crosses into Ribeiro's area when he plays...

Not trying to make you look stupid Sniff, not at all. Just pointing out that Ribs wins many headers, more headers than Bong. That's all. Was surprised by the fact myself.
RE: Wycombe Wanderers - Nottingham Forest - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 05-02-2021
But that is because Bong has hardly played. He can't win headers if he's not in the team. Plus Coventry didn't even put all those free kicks into the box, they played them all short.

It's an average per game.

He needs games mate otherwise he won’t develop into the player he ought to be.
In reality he should be starting 15/20 games this season, anything less is a travesty
He won’t develop with 5/10 minute cameos
We pissed the opportunity away last season by selecting Da Costa, looks like we’re gonna do the same this season

Reminds me of something I heard Joe Pasquale[*] say once; "You can prove anything with facts, can't you."
A better measure should be what % of contested headers do the two players win? Or maybe even, what is the xG from play that develops from their area of the pitch? Is that kind of analysis available?
[*] not really.
