Nottingham Forest - Huddersfield

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Start for Surridge and give Davis a rest?
Would like to see Lolley get some more minutes too.

[Derby My Arse]

Lowe back in and give Colback a rest.

[tugger2018]

Team for tonight

Samba
Worrall figs McKenna
Spence Yates garner Lowe
Brennan surrige lolley

[DR Forest]

Am I alone in saying Im not too fussed by this game?
I'll enjoy it and support the team, but if we play fringe players to give them minutes then I would be secretly pleased.
I'd rather lose this if it means we win the next 2 league games.

Yes, an FA cup run gives us a few extra quid but the chances of winning it are slim and I'd rather it be a distraction for Huddersfield to knock them off their stride in the top 6 whilst we focus entirely on the playoffs.

It's all about promotion- the financial prize for the PL is 20 fold that of the FA cup and might mean we keep Brennan, Spence, garner worrall etc for next season, avoiding another (possible) massive rebuild in the summer.

Any ideas of what the crowd maybe tonight 24000 ?

How many times do teams do this and then lose the next few league games anyway though? FA Cup 5th round game with a QF on the line. All the players will want to play, rotating loads and losing would not be good for morale.

I would go full team personally. Although the draw pf Liverpool has made me less bothered. In reality we've got maybe a 30-40% chance of making the playoffs then 25% chance of actually winning them.

We are literally two wins from playing at Wembley for the first time since the early 90s. I know which I'd choose

Full team is a no brainer and no way will Coops will field a weakened side

Think a bit better, Hudds have sold out I believe, reckon about 27k

Ha, should we get through tonight just you wait and see how many people suddenly start calling themselves Forest fans and wanting to go to the next round!
