Nottingham Forest v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 16.10.21

first away day of season. billy no mates as son is in Spain on a jolly. where is a good pub to meet fellow seasiders ?
 
Lavery has been THE goal threat for us, noone else has better than 0.20 goals per game, confident that we'll create some chances, a lot will depend on someone else putting it away. Tough one this, would be happy with a draw.
 
I’ll take a point. They’re playing well at the minute and we’ll miss Maxi and Lavery
 
Fancy us for a point, expectation will be building there and we're the perfect party poopers.

2-2 Kesh and Gaz
 
Quite a few normally go to notts county supporters bar as opens up for away fans, not sure about parking this time as I think the embankment has been closed

Updated to say the broken wheelbarrow is open from 11am for pool supporters. 👍

Hoping for a point but it will be difficult at their place.
I remember being there in the late 70's when we lost 3-0, the year Forest were promoted under Clough. He was eating fish & chips in the same cafe as us at past 2pm with the ko at 3pm!
 
We've got some tough games coming up, I'd happily take a point now. We should certainly see how good our squad is with Maxwell and Lavery missing, whilst I feel we'll miss Shayne, Jerry Yates should be chomping at the bit, Maxi missing is concerning, I hope Stuart Moore steps up and takes his chance.
 
Maxwell
Keogh Gretarson James
Hamilton Ward Virtue Dougall Dale
Lavery Lubala

Could be a full team unavailable. Hopefully Keogh is fit and Dougall back to at least be on the bench. Shows the depth we have as still can field a good team and strong bench.
 
Tricky one this. No top scorer Shayne or skipper Max. Sod‘s law we’ve caught them on the up and with what could be an almost full house. I’ll definitely take a point at the moment. They’ll be super-confident and still itching to punish us for that 3-4 2010 ‘mauling’.

We were appalling that day. What a stark difference to the two marvellous wins there, 1-0 and 4-3, in our promotion season to The Premiership.

Yes, we were off the pace and well beaten. If my memory serves me right Tony Woodcock was on fire for Forest.

Yes he was. They absolutely pounded us, and we were lucky not to lose by a much heavier margin. Until a 4-0 defeat at Southend, it was our worst away performance I had witnessed. We played far better in the 6-1 defeat at QPR.
 
Hope to see us in the white top and tangerine shorts kit...it will give the Forest fans nightmare flashbacks.
A tough game but we are more than capable of beating any team in this league and our away form is better than at home.
 
Tough game today without Maxwell and potentially Keogh as it means we’re missing a real leader in the squad.
I’m comfortable with Yates and Madine playing together and think Yates will be incredibly fired up today to stake a claim for a starting role again. Real shame about Gretarsson as an injury to Keogh is exactly what he needed to get back into the squad.
I’m not sure I want Husband at LCB. I think I’d rather Epiketa at LCB and Sterling at RCB with Gabriel at RB but Husband could well bring the leadership we’re missing today.
I expect Stewart to start ahead of Dougall given his travels and Stewart brings leadership too.
I think our two back up GK’s are of similar quality but I think after Moore stepped up last game and performed well it’s his shirt to lose.

The club have done really well in ensuring we have strength in depth. My only real concern is that if anything happens to Yates or Madine then John-Jules hasn’t shown he offers anything like a real goal scoring threat.
 
Started the week feeling quite pessimistic with the number and names out injured and travelling back late. However optimism and maybe tangerine delusion have now fully kicked in and I’m going for a 2-2 draw. Would prefer Ekpiteta, Husband and Moore starting. Hope Dougall can play a part.
