Manchester United - Nottingham Forest

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Hope this is wrong, but hearing Hennessey is struggling to be fit for tomorrow.

I'm sure he will play even if it's through the pain barrier.

After yesterday's results we have a great chance to move on up out of the drop zone. However there is no pressure to get that result so let's go out there this evening and play our game and enjoy ourselves. The result doesn't matter what does is finding the rhythm of our play so we can relax. We make mistakes and lose confidence when we try to force it. It's all about letting it come naturally for today and all future games this season. Let's be the NFFC we know we are. It is our time

Lets be realistic, we're likely to get comfortably beaten tonight. Any away win in the premier league is incredibly difficult. A bottom 3 team going to Old Trafford and winning is near to impossible. Best we can hope for is keeping the scoreline respectable.

Yes we have scored one goal away from home all season in the PL, ONE.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Agree with that. Play like a team, preferably score, but put in a good performance and Im not worried about the result tonight.

What I dont want to see is a clueless capitulation.

At last some realism on the forum. We've been absolutely dire away from home generally this season.  Maybe the odd good few minutes here and there but little more than that. There's much more chance of us getting spanked tonight 5 or 6 than us winning.

I will be quiet happy tonight as long as it's not another Man City, Leicester and Arsenal job.

If we can manage a point i'd be over the moon. a 1 or 2 nil defeat wouldn't be the end of the world. Just don't want to see a drumming like City. I was at that game and it was painful

[Mist From The Trent]

I don't think this Manchester United team are anywhere near the level of Arsenal and City. However, they are still a top team. Hopefully, we can see some nice patterns of play and our players be brave on the ball and working their bollocks off out of possession. As long as we don't get embarrassed that will do.

Anyone else remember what happened last time we went to Old Trafford on Boxing Day (or day after)?

Remember it very well Sniff but it was just before Christmas not just after.

0-4 in what was a total lesson in football for Man United by Forest.

That game is on YouTube, a nice warm up to watch before the match tonight.

Mostly I see 22 men in desperate need of a haircut, including the bald ones.

MGW wishing the team good luck on Instagram so he won't be playing tonight. Hope he's not out for long as he was just starting to look like the player Sheffield United had last season.

So is it possible that the post on the "injuries" thread was correct about him being out 4 months?

Will be watching this afternoon and fingers crossed for a good performance. A draw would be fantastic.
