Nottingham Forest - Sheffield United

Presume it will be Bong in for Lowe. I wonder if we will keep the back 3 or change to a flat back 4.

Stick with back 3 and see how Bong performs. Despite the abuse he gets from fans hes generally a dependable type imo. And he can stick a cross in.

Yep.

Benny did ok for Forest. Some good assists and popped up with some decent goals with the odd cheeky worldie.

Could do with a win for this to put us back top half.

Bong in and continue with a back 3 for me.

No thanks. Suicide having that liability on the pitch.

To be honest SA, Benny did more than just ok.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Agreed, Benny was a shining light amongst a load of mediocrity, players who didnt give a xxxx and a dreadful few years behind the scenes.

He was out of his depth at LB, playing out of position. 

But he was chosen time and time again by successive managers.  Amongst a bunch of mediocre players he was a reliable 'above average?' Forest player who could put his foot on the ball and had that energy bunny keep going until the end of the match durability.  His attitude was 1st rate and he was under appreciated by some Forest supporters just as Yates has been. 

A useful squad player due to his versatility.  But nailing down a key position for him seemed to be a problem.

Relegated with Sheff Utd, he's now in a mid-table team as he often was with Forest.  He scored a goal recently for Sheff Utd.  (I wonder how many he has for them.)

Some wanted him to leave.  I didn't so much.  But he was a loyal servant to The Forest.

With better Forest players around him, would he have shone brighter?  A potential pocket Paul Scholes?

In glimmers.  He would sometimes be involved in some very nice intricate play, with assists (hanging with Carvalho quite easily in build up play) and come up with the odd 'Worldie' goal eg. versus Derby. But not nearly consistently enough 'at that level' though his attitude was never in doubt. At his best, he helped Forest 'tick.'

He did 'ok' for Forest.

I've always said Harry Arter is a poor mans Ben Osborn, its the best compliment I can pay him.

[TheRealRedBeard]

Anyone got any news on if Drager might be in contention on Tuesday? Not bloody Bong please!! I’d rather Psycho dust off his boots and turn out at LB than him.

[Marinakis Red]

Really looking forward to tonight. Should be another cracking game, fancy us to win this one.

I’m nervous, too many ex Forest connections going to be fired up.

[Paplane]

I'm wondering if the two formations will cancel each other out and we'll be left with a pretty average game as a result.

Nobody has seen him play under Cooper yet. People were saying the same about Yates and Colback not so long ago.
