So based on the first game only they look more prepared and ready for this. But Wassy if you were to say take us at the end of the season last year then i would expect us to beat them.
Yes i know we have a different team since then and i get what you mean but actually same issues are there that we are suffering from now. Which i why i think it is wise to weary of it.
Mine was more of an anti Sheff U post than pro Forest! One shot on target, 0.39 xG at home against an average team. I thought they'd be slightly better than that. They were lucky not to concede more, Palace missed some great chances.
I'm sure it'll be a tight game, particularly assuming we match them up with three at the back. I suspect everyone will be moaning after 30 mins!

I think the moans will only come if we don't look like we are doing anything. if it's tight and 0-0 or even 0-1 down. As long as we are showing we are evolving and trying to play the fans will be supporting the manager and the players.

That part of the lineup looks good to me! All those players are where they play best, and they are all on the pitch at once.

I would be absolutely amazed if there is any moaning in the ground on Friday, unless we are 3-0 at half time.
The atmosphere in the ground is nothing like here or social media.

Unless the Brennan move has progressed I think you might be disappointed there.
It'll be the same team as last weekend, except Taiwo will come in for one of Yates/Danilo/Mangala I would imagine. Unless Felipe/Niakhate are fit enough to start.

Paper talk still at this point IMO, although you're right given how our entire summer spending is likely determined by this sale they might want to hold him back! Or if it's not that close this could be a prime shop window. Teams were interested last week and he still played. Would also be a pretty big statement if he just wasn't involved at all.

It’s a real shame that the Johnson stuff didn’t wait until next week.
We really need three point’s tomorrow.
Brennan strikes me as the kind of person who will make himself unavailable if there is a real prospect of the move happening.

I honestly think Brennan's not the problem and he'd probably just want to stay here and enjoy playing for his team in the prem. Its the people who are advising him though. I agree he wont be playing tonight.
