Still 10 days away or so until our next game due to the Internationals and next FA Cup weekend, so a bit of time to go.

Tricky one this with Forest flying high but feeling strangely confident after a recent little upturn. Still going to go into this one as underdogs but it will be a good gage to see how we are progressing.

Hopefully all our players come through the International break unscathed. Also this bit of a period could give our injured players a chance to get back fit.
 
Hopefully a few players will return for this one assuming no one gets crocked on international duty.

Maguire, Yoro and Mount should all be available.

Dorgu is back after his ban.

There’s a chance Mainoo will be ready as well.

We get the benefit of the extra rest. Most of the players will actually be at Carrington over the next 10 days as we didn’t have to many call ups.

Think it will be a tough game to watch as both sides will look to sit deep and counter.

Gibbs-White has given us a lot of problems in recent meetings we will need to find a way of shackling him.
 
Mount was on the bench in the last game so he’s got time to get injured then get fit again.
 
Chris Wood injured in the Oceania WC play off final. Even if it’s a minor injury, couple it with the travel back, I would say he’s a doubt for this one.
 
Yoro, Maguire and Shaw all trained with the first team today.
 
Forest have gone to extra time, that’s a bonus for us
 
Ugarte will have welcomed the extra recovery time he played at silly altitude in Bolivia during the international break.
 
Yeah the games being mid week after an international break really drags it out.

The positive is the players who've been battling on multiple fronts have hopefully had a good rest and actually had some proper training sessions with the manager that aren't just about recovery.

I wonder if he'll release Obi and Amass to play in the youth cup game this evening rather than the league match tomorrow.

Hopefully we aren't the April Fools this year.

Also, confirmed Obi is with the youth team tonight so can't see him going to Forest as well.

No Hojlund.

Cas starts, and Dorgu returns!
 
No wood for them is a bonus.

Need to get a grip on Gibbs-White he’s been their best player against us in the last 2 games. Need to make sure he can’t get into space behind our midfield.
 
I have a feeling they're not going to be half as dangerous without Wood, yeah.

They're still on a massive high though, so I'm still worried.

Predict a draw.
 
Their backup striker is no mug Awonyi scored quite a few last season and like wood he’s a real handful.

It’s positive that we’ve actually got a couple of players who can freshen up the attack with Mount and Hojlund.
 
Great to see Kone on the bench. Not seen a great deal of him but hopefully he gets minutes.
 
Who is this Elanga kid? Looks good.

Special goal from him. Garnacho should have committed more in the challenge and took a yellow.
 
Garnacho had to take him down and take the yellow card.

It’s such a basic thing

Woeful defending, but FFS Onana. Save that

Give it a rest.

Keeper isn’t saving that, player has all the time he needs to pick his spot on either side.

It happens too often with this keeper, gets down way too slow.

I'll be amazed if he is the keeper next year.
 
When Elanga played for United did he play with an anchor attached to him? Because all I remember is that he was a neat and tidy player who would do a decent job. One of the fastest players in the PL? I don’t really remember seeing him use it.

I hope Onana isn’t the goalkeeper. It will be a relief not to read every goal conceded being his fault.

It certainly isn’t a strength but no keeper is saving that.

Go early and Elanga goes the other side. He gets it close enough to the corner, keeps it low with power.

It’s a good finish.
