I even think Benalouane might be drafted in now he's played a couple of under 23 games.

I think he'll play the same team and allow them to redeem themselves.

I’ll be amazed & disappointed if he did Pap.

Sow has to play.
Ribeiro if fit.
Figs or Benny.
Lolley.

Took us 20 touches to get briefly out our own half v Wednesday and came straight back to keeper again, with no urgency to reduce the rather large deficit, need movement, energy, battling, tenacity and a bit of skill

Yep, I suppose you're right.

Changes. There will be changes.

Hopefully he can bring in Benno onto the bench and Fig back into the 1st team. Hopefully Sow can make the bench.

Rib' back into the 1st team? Could be another bencher.

The question is does The Coach have the options to change the team in the significant areas of attack or even elsewhere. Are Benno, Rib', Sow match fit? I suspect Car' will be dropped to the subs bench. He won't be the only one.

He can't bench the whole 11. Dawson and Worrall had a mare. Will he drop both?

Cash, Samba, Yates and Grabban keep their places. For me, the only ones that came out of that lack lustre disaster with any degree of credit. Amoebi maybe.

Lots of questions.

So frustrating when looking at the teamsheet at the lack of options. We really can only revert to the style which served us so well early season.

What an absolutely woefully thin attacking lineup to expect promotion with. My dog knows more about football than the suits running Forest.

But regardless, it'll be a difficult game IMO. I cant see a win. Just a few chances created would be progress after Saturday.

Forest didn't seem to have any fire or fight in them.  That was the worrying sign.

'Rejecting' another manager.  It wouldn't surprise me.  Modern players don't like hearing the truth.  They've paid a lot of money to 'fail.'

I think you've hit upon a key point here.  This is a crunch match and it will be very telling.

If Forest lose this one they can slide down the table further to 10th or something.  Lots of teams around them on the same points or close by.

Ironic.  Warburton's QPR are only 3 points behind Forest after the thumping Forest gave them.

Progress..?

This is the direct line back to recruitment.

Has The Coach got the options to shake things up?

'Some.'  Are Sow, Rib' and Benno' fit enough to come straight into the side?  Does he play Johnno or Mighten from the Youth set up to make his point?

Even if 'The Coach' wants to shake things up front.  Take Grabban away and what have you got?

Wednesday showed what it's like to have two key performers up front.  They smashed Forest 1st half.  And that's the 1st time that's happened this season.  

It's a pivotal moment, ironically, in almost a mirror image of last season.  Do Forest come fighting back or do they fold?

It's worth remembering that this current set up have only had one window. 

It was always going to take a bit longer than that.

The window slammed shut and the job was incomplete but we should take into account just how huge the job was.
COYR!

It feels like a big game now on Saturday.

Praying for 3 points and that normal service is resumed.

God I hope not. I would like to see some changes.
