FA Cup & League Cup

[Paplane]

They'll not put a bunch of youngsters and casual & ill-prepared premaddonas out against us like Arsenal did. As such I can only see a fairly comfortable win for Lestoh. To be honest we dont need a cup run really so thats not such a bad thing.

I dont think we will put out a full strength team for this one ourselves Pap. For Arsenal we hadnt played for 10 days and dont have the next game for another week.
For Leicester we will have Blackburn away 3 days later and Stoke at home 3 days after that. Still hope we put up a good show but the league is the biggy.

I dont know any Leicester fans, I dont live in Leicester or do any work in Leicester so for me its just another game against a superior prem side. Of course I want to win but I wont be that fussed if we go out against them.

Easy now. They played an almost full team. Saka, odegaard, martinelli, nkeitah all starters up front at the moment, just their midfielder they're really excited about at arsenal and their keeper weren't proper regulars I think. We did a job on their almost full strength team!

[McDurban]

I am so opposed to putting out weaker teams for cup games, enough is enough, if they don't want to play in the FA Cup don't enter.
Forest need a culture of going out there to win EVERY game they play.

They thought they could turn up and cruise to a win. I suspect that mentally they were preparing for the challenge of their liverpool and spurs game. As I said, casual and ill prepared prima donnas.

I do agree though, we did a tactical job on them too!

They thought they could just rock up and win.

A tactical masterclass and some talented Forest players and a 'complete' team performance proved them wrongo.

Exemplified by 'Will to Win' Yates who put in a pearlier of a cross for Grabban to do what he does best.

Our new CHs and Strikers showing what's been missing from our squad too.

Definitely not denying they didn't play well and seemed to turn up as if they could win without any effort but we shouldn't do ourselves a disservice, they put out a strong team and wanted to win the game.

Largely down to our tactics, desire and quality.

Have you seen how much those casual ill-prepared primadonnas cost? They put out a good and strongish side.

My point is that they were ill prepared for the game. They may have cost a fortune and had some big hitters on the pitch but for some reason they turned up on the night expecting to put in little effort and breeze through the tie. Their poor attitude was illustrated by the lad who got hooked off in the first half.  

When we named our full strength side it was obvious to most watching that our Forest team on our own pitch was going to be a decent challenge but they couldnt match our endeavour or break down our organised and disciplined defence. They were just waiting for us to wilt but, as we so often do these days, we actually came our stronger in the 2nd half and upped our game, and it killed them.

Im not trying to demean our performance, it was excellent and Cooper did a job on them. The point im making is that Leicester will not have the same attitude or underestimate us like Arsenal did and it'll be a far more difficult game.
