Nottingham Forest - Coventry City

[Tricky]

Hilarious proposal by today’s Nottingham Post for tomorrow’s starting X1.
They’ve named 12 players!
It would be funny if it weren’t so bloody shoddy journalism ( yet again ).

You never know, we might win one or two if we do that!

To add insult to injury the headline lists us as Notthingham Forest  :@

I’d really like to see Mighten start.

Played for 23’s today ( as did Darikwa ) so that rules him out.

Feels like its going to be a frustrating time for Alex, he needs games.

[McDurban]

If Cafu is a bit of a deep lying playmaker I'd like to see him paired with Yates in midfield.
Yates can do all the running and Cafu pass it forward, like we'd expect from Arter.

Samba
Christie
Figs
McKenna
Bong (I'd prefer Ribeiro but think he's frozen out)
Yates 
Cafu
Knockeart
Freeman
Ameobi
Taylor

Haven't spent much time on the forum over the weekend but what was the general opinion of Bong's performance v Boro?

I though he did fine myself. He never looked particularly exposed and held his own, considering it was the first game he played in a year or so. I always thought CH would pick him over Ribeiro because he's so familiar with his game. I can't ever see he's going to be a first pick, but if he gets a few games under his belt in the next couple of weeks then he might prove to not be the calamity we thought he was.

My team:

Samba
Christie
Figs
McKenna
Bong
Yates
Arter
Lolley
Freeman
Knockaert
Taylor

I realise I've dropped Colback but I think CH will try to be a bit more offensive in these next 2 games, hence Arter coming in. And Ameobi was pretty average I thought on saturday, so bench for him.

I thought same. Looked fairly accomplished. 

Ribeiro performances this season have actually been well below the standards he set last year. Hopefully, he will get back up to scratch, that said Bong has real pedigree at top Championship Club and a year in Prem so maybe he could too.

Story of our season really-players under performing horribly!!

For me...

Samba

Bong
Arter
Cafu
Lolley
Freeman
Knockaert
Taylor

^ Arter and Cafu. That could be interesting. Also Arter and Sow have not started together yet.

I would change the full backs for Jenkinson and Ribeiro.

[ThePromisedLand]

Ditto re full backs - though my preferences would be Darikwa & Ribeiro.

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Agreed. Christie needs a break from the action.
