Blackpool v Nottingham Forest Official Matchnight Thread 17.01.24

Lets just go for it. dont care if he puts five up front. get in their faces puts some trees through the turf at Bloomerz . Massive cup upset incoming. UTMP.
 
Agree, just go for it, although there will still be some on here who will criticise that approach even though they say our possession football is boring
It will be interesting to see how Forest approach this game in light of this breach of financial rules investigation
Surely their priority will be to retain Premiership status ahead of maybe a couple more rounds in the FA cup.
If that’s how they look at it then expect a weakened team, although it will still be a tough match.
If they fear they will get relegated after the inevitable points deduction then they may just go all out and try and put a good run together.
What’s the weather like over there? Snowed overnight here and still snowing now.
 
Counting down the minutes till my son gets here. Just know we WILL give it our best shot . NOIZE levels should be a decibel higher at least .UTMP

If Critchley does that I'll invite all posters to view my posterior in wherever passes for a Burton's window in Blackpool.

priceless. . lol. no its gonna be the double critovich reverse bomb down the sides game . eight pawns up top . queen nutmegging everything in sight. bishops kicking everyone forest player in sight. two knights on the bench. rooks in the middle of the park.
 
I think a Friday night in Bristol/East London will take the edge off a loss if it happens. Still hope we win, mind.

You don’t usually get 2 chances against Premier League teams, but stranger things have happened in football
 
Anyone going to watch the Bristol v West Ham game this evening in advance of playing them in the 4th round?

In which case, that would see West Ham through as well.

Cup football. You never know. Not many were forecasting 2 2 in the first game.
 
Forest will start very fast looking for an early goal and to impress their new manager. It’s important we do the same. Let’s hope we defend as a team and don’t give them time or space which cost us dearly last time.
 
They have a lengthy list of players injured or on international duty. I suspect they will go as strong as they can and name a very similar line-up to that of the first game. 9 out of 10 times they would win but I fancy us against anyone at Bloomfield Road on a cold, wet and windy night. We've got to hope they don't fancy it and we can get right into them. Hopefully our players rise to the challenge, it really is a free hit.
 
What will the Forest reaction be to having their warm weather training week replaced with a freezing cold night in Blackpool? I suspect they will be fired up. Let's hope they need to be
 
People saying they are not arsed for this match, are you kidding? Would love for us to finally have a decent run in the FA Cup. Hammers away great game or a good chance of getting a result if we play BC. Plus some good revenue for the club. We have a history in the FA Cup and it would be great to win tomorrow and see where it takes us. Will be watching from a far roaring on the Pool!!

I just think people feel Forest ,who we have played ad nauseam , aren't a particularly attractive prospect. If
we had drawn West Ham and brought them back to BR then the attendance tonight would have been much better.

what a contrast . what a way to cheer your team on. they were seriously impressive. unlike our lot. I WILL be there tonight with my son. Dont care who turns up or not. But shameful really . . FIFTEEN quid. thankz FA .
 
For any plane spotters out there any sign of Florist Airways landing yet. Hopefully we can kick them back into the cool air over BR with another good spanking.
 
Critch:

"We've had a little bit of injury and illness, Albie Morgan took a kick at the weekend and had to come off, we're hopeful he'll be okay, Matt Pennington we're hopeful will be back in the squad.

"We know Jake Beesley is going to be out for a little bit, Kylian Kouassi is getting closer but this will come too soon for him. Apart from that, it's as you were."
 
Forest on the drift for some reason. Gone from 4/6 the other day to odds against 21/20

Blackpool into 5/2 from 7/2

If Pennington is back in squad does that mean a certain player might not play 🤔 🤣🤣
