Quick question for those that read this thread...would you prefer that the starting post just had links to YouTube items rather than embedded the videos, in order to reduce the length of the initial post?
Yes please

Geography not your thing branded?
It's north of Birmingham, let alone Watford. So deep inside the north for me.

I would prefer to avoid the scrolling past the videos to the most recent post each time I revisit the page. Maybe they could the embedded in the first reply so we know where to find them. But not hugely bothered by it if others prefer them in the initial post.

Forest are a good side this season, they have got over their random spending on every spare part player and actually bedded in a side that is defensively good and knows how to nick a goal. This wont be an easy game and Forest are probably favourites on current form. Draw today wouldn't be bad but like many others I'm looking for some of these new signings to kick on and show they fit as regulars in the premier league and in this side. Time for some consistency and the side to show it knows what it's doing. I hope Fabianski stays in the side. Just think we need to stop chopping and changing the defence and actually get organised. Always thought Fabianski commands the box way better than Areola even if Areola is an incredible reaction shot stopper.

Really important to get a result today, need to build some momentum and confidence.
Yep, lose and last week goes down as a one off against a crap Man Utd and it's back to square one. Win and with Everton next week we could be winning three straight and going into the break in around 8th.
A draw would be OK but would then need to beat Everton.

Stubbo, personally prefer just links but will go with the consensus.
is it another 1 step forward, 2 back game?
Until he works out a formation and tactics to suit the players available, I see no real change. We will continue to concede too many which has been the theme for the last 12 months and more.
I bore on ad infinitum that the midfield, if tactics and approach dont change, cannot be fixed. We don’t have the “legs” and speed in central midfield in the squad to be pushing up so high with wing backs in very advanced positions. Its suicidal.
Forest have a few midsing which might help but their Nunoball tactics, identical to Moyesball, perfectly suited to letting us have the ball, us giving it away and them countering really fast to overrun one of our slow blokes in midfield to create over loads on our 3 at the back.

Not really fussed stubbo son.

Summerville & Tordibo have to start.

It's all about intent from El Twat. Be positive and try and win the game with Summerville starting, or again have players out of position early and pretend it was all part of the plan when he again has to chase the game

I reckon we either sneak this 1-0, or we're 0-3 by half time.
Will totally depend on whether Lopetegui starts the game having addressed our weaknesses in his 'default' setup in light of Forest's strengths, or if he leaves it until half time like usual.

Let's see if Lopetegui can build on the home win over ManU
Thanks Stubbo

Fingers crossed for this one. Nottingham look consistent and we do not. Hoping for 1-2, but fearing 2-1.
