Nottingham Forest - Blackburn Rovers

[Marinakis Red]

Play like we did against Swansea and I think we take 3 points. I'd keep the same line up other than drop ribs for bong.

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Bong and Murray straight back in if I was picking the team.

[Tricky]

I think Freeman will be back in the side tomorrow. He only missed Wednesdays match because his missus had just had a baby. I would definitely drop Grabban and bring Murray back and would leave Ribs in the side because the goal aside, he didn't do too much wrong.

I think the manager is learning which players he can trust and which ones he can’t. For whatever reason it just isn’t happening in front of goal for Grabban this season.

I think Christie is ok going forward but a liability at the back - he has been out of position or beaten too easily for a number of goals this season. Interesting to see in the news today about us being unable to afford him next season.

Ribs or Bong is an interesting one- i was surprised to see Ribs back in on Weds as i thought Bong had done OK... wonder if Hughton regrets that one now ?

So you would drop Lolley then? That's a tough call as I think he didn't do much wrong on Wednesday. But CH clearly wants to bring Freeman in as I think he was playing him to get him fit, so what does he do?

Isn't it great how now the players have to earn the right to be in the side, rather than be an auto pick? How times have changed from a couple of months ago. Also, Yates is now fit apparently and I cant see how he gets anywhere near the starting 11. And then when Sow is fit - does he play?

Personally I think he'll stick to the side that did well on Wednesday with maybe teacher's pet Murray coming in for Grabban.

TBH Pap, If it was down to me, I would play Lolley in the starting 11, but it isn't down to me and Freeman does seem to be a bit of a favourite of CH's.

The problem though is that Mighten will drop out of the squad as a result of Freeman coming back, or will he replace Blackett?

[ThePromisedLand]

Think you’re spot on Pap.

The good news though is that Freeman is clearly fitter & getting better, as is Lolley. Colback is fit - as is Yates. Cafu had his best game yet on Wednesday. Both Garner & Krovinovic have improved us immeasurably.

Full back selections remain a conundrum - but, elsewhere, we look in decent shape.

Forgot about Colback! We're well stocked with midfielders now arent we?

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Yuri has just done a tweet which he usually does when he is playing, reckon he gets another go, lets hope he has his mojo back.

Yep, I saw that and thought the same. Lolley's on the photo too.  ???

[Joe Baker Legend]

Players arriving, Taylor doesn't look too happy....

[Strawberry Avenger]

The Lewis Grabban close to goal clip was funny but harsh.

Taylor not happy. He's had a lot of football and didn't score. Service being lousy being a caveat.

I like players that smile alot. And the ones coming into work smiling like Krono...Yates....Worrall. You can see they want it. That's who I want playing for the club.
