Reds v Stoke Pre Match Comments....
Didn't realise how poor their form is, same starting 11 for us and lets go and put at least 3 past them
Seconded!
Although it really doesn't matter now except for my local bragging rights.
This is the one I thought we'd win tbh, mainly because Forest are fucking awful.
What does that say for us? Their league position is much better.
We're shit, obviously
I reckon it will be a draw. Our lads will be knackered after what they put in on Saturday. Look out for a few changes in our team. The last thing Michael O'Neil will want to do is to come out of the game with any of his midfielders suffering from long-term injuries, which can come about because players' legs are tired.
It matters a lot. We are in the middle of an unbeaten run - we haven't been that very often in recent years. Win one more and we have quite a momentum to carry into the new season, where we have the unbeaten run to protect. Obviously no one knows the early fixtures yet, but with a bit of luck in that regard, we could carry that on for a decent sequence. If we do, we are then already well on our way towards a successful season.
Give Diouf a final run out in the red & white.
Incredible to think that if we win, we’ll better last seasons points total. Unthinkable 8 months ago. This should be motivation for us to go out and try to beat them.
It’s been a crap season. Let’s limp over the line and have a good rest.
That's the spirit!
The home game seems like only yesterday. Weren’t we leading then went 3-1 down and lost by the odd goal in the end. This was then followed by the Huddersfield home defeat. This period was my low point for the season and I genuinely thought we were screwed. Praise be to MON
Over the last 29 games, we have now collected more points than Forest. It says that we were most definitely shit under Jones, but we’re we’re not as shit now
They played a day later than us so I hope they're even tireder than us
Can't see them blowing their chances of getting in the playoffs, and I don't really hate them, but it would be funny to somehow help them cock it up...although I'd prefer Cardiff to sign something guaranteeing they will mess up the actual playoff games too.
O'Neil may rest one or two but he's got an eye on next season already and has said he sees these games as part of our preseason preparation. Forest are on a bad run and are there for the taking and having beaten Brentford I think O'Neill will be looking to get the team believing they should be the ones up there next season. Winning is a habit.
I agree. Clucas and Powell shouldn't play. They've both been carrying knocks so absolutely crackers to risk a long term injury
He’s already said that he won’t be changing the team much in a post match interview so I wouldn’t expect hardly any changes mesen
He may rest Clucas and Powell given they were doubts on Saturday mate
No point in risking anybody with the new season only around 6 weeks away
It is important to try and end the season on a high to promote a good atmosphere and do everything possible to convince potential signings and some of our expensive loaned players that the club is on the up and going places.
Same winning team for me, fitness permitting
First pre-season game for next year.
Forest are fucking garbage.
Given Forest still haven't 100% secured their play off place (piss poor from them given the points they had on the return) would expect a strong line up from Stoke
It would take a 6 goal turn around (and Cardiff not to lose) for Forest to miss out...and I know a lad in Notts who would just LOVE that to happen
Can't see it myself, but would still like a comfortable Stoke win, which is also unlikely..but we can but hope
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm looking forward to a relaxing evening in front of the TV for the first time in ages!
Feet up, and not an ounce of an eff will be given!
You were a physical wreck until 2:30 Saturday
I'd love to smash Forest out of the play-offs. They rested five players against Charlton because they were playing West Brom in the next game. They lost that Charlton game, meaning that we went fourth bottom. I remember thinking then, that I hoped they needed something in that last game of the season
Only just realised. It’s actually possible that if by some miracle we were to win this by 2 or 3 goals and Cardiff and Swansea win by similar scores, they could both overtake Forest and be in the play offs and Forest could miss out ! So I’m happy to lose this one. Even if I am writing this post from my caravan home in Wales. Fuck em
Win this by 2 goals, and Middlesbrough win by 2 goals to fend off relegation, and we can even leapfrog Sheffield Wednesday into 16th!!!
