Forest team to follow

Starting eleven as expected. Bench incredibly weak as we all know. Lerma the only proven EPL level player on there. Better hope we get through 90 mins with no injuries.

No Rak-Sakyi?

 

[eaglesdare]

An injury to a first teamer and we are screwed.

Nope. Very clear OG simply doesn’t think he’s any good and wants him gone.

Edouard could do a job if he remembers he's a footballer!!

 

[Team of the (20)80s]

Yes, though if we being very optimistic hopefully he is in the latter stages of talks with another club.

Wow- Rodney & Cardines, no senior appearance between them and they get the vote over Esse, Franca and JRS.
That’s Glasner making a statement to Parrish what a mess he is making of things and lack of investment.

 

[PatrickA]

As if it wasn't bad enough, Forest have Jesus on the bench.

 

[Team of the (20)80s]

To be fair I don’t think we was noticeably worse than the rest of the team after he came on, though we were looking pretty out of ideas generally by then.

Unused sub for the U21s last Friday

Franca is injured. Esse is on the bench… but agree Glasner had made his feeling very clear

Rather childish by Glasner. So he always wants to win but if the Chairman hasn’t given him new toys…

Devenny starts again after that piss poor performance. OG is so stubborn

 

[kevlee]

How can Franca be injured again?

 

[Fanofzhiyi]

I’d love to see Esse , Rodney or Cardines get 5-10mins. This will be right game if our fitness is ok until 60-70mins when forest make their impact subs

Last game was the chance for them to play if they cant play against low level opponents like Freidstad or whatever they are called no chance they are playing against forest

He’s clearly been a fantastic manager and it is disappointing the board haven’t been able to back him… but I agree.

His job is to motivate the players and the interviews he has given since Eze said he couldn’t play on Thursday haven’t exactly been motivational.

It’s also his job to get the best out of Esse, not saying it is solely his fault but he has been managing him for eight months and we needed him on Thursday.

JRS and Franca are bound elsewhere.

Esse is on the bench with them so not clear where the nod is.

Depressed Esse not ready. Yet.
