Ok, for what it's worth, here is my punt on the side to play Stoke tomorrow.

                                                                                            Horvath

Back,                                          Figs (no choice really!),                                McKenna,                                              Colback

                                                            Yates,                                                Cafu

                    Carvalho                                                                                                                        Mighten
                                                                     
  Zinkernagel
                                                                                           
  Taylor

Interesting line up, Tricky.  We've got little choice but to play Back, but he acquitted himself well in all the games he's played.  He's earned the shirt. Horvath has to start.  Cafu alongside Yates perhaps to mix up the CM area.

Colback at LB?  Probably Bong.  We'll see on that one.

We're so bare bones, we don't have a lot of choice. We could do with more 'Zinc Man' in the team. He's quality.

Samba. :(

We can't blame Bong for the last game.  Or for being dragged out the bomb squad.

Our 'no.1' keeper.  Should be?  Dropped after having three CRAP games where he is culpable for a goal in each of the last three league games.  Each one costing Forest a draw.  We'd be on three points if not for his crap keeping.

SA.

I just like playing our best players, and he's one of them.

Simple as that.

Spot on reds73 exact team I would play again except samba in   (although he won’t Pick it)

Anybody know what's wrong with Lolley? He was not involved yesterday due to illness.

He’s never going to consistently reach the highs of two years ago again. 

He’ll be a bit part player at best.

Image the old Lolley on one side and Zink on the other side. Not many teams would be able to withstand that.

Don’t quote me on this but I heard a rumour off another site Arter chinned Lolly that’s why he was and is still out so it must of been a good punch if true

Of course he won't! Worrall is still injured for a start

[Uwantlee]

Colback and Yates will start.. he's not gonna change is he. He made a point of stressing that colback is fit in his ore match interview

[Uwantlee]

Also can't see him starting back and fornah in the same game. Back will start... we have no choice.

Simple as that.

He's cost Forest points in each game.  Also very simple.

SA.

Depends on what you choose to see.  He kept out two certain goals earlier in the game on Wednesday.  

Arsenal just paid up to £30m for a 'keeper who's made an outrageous number of clangers.  But there's a big picture than looking at goals and blaming. Well, there is if you look at the bigger picture.

He was well out of position and stranded after coming to get the ball in the last game leading to blind panic in the Forest penalty area.  It led to the goal.  And it pretty much summed up Samba's erratic form so far.  Being easily beaten at his near posts, both sides and late down to saves.  Perhaps behind a less makeshift defence he's 'ok' but in the current defensive crisis I don't think he's a dependable last line of defence.

He is a mere shadow to the player that arrived.
