Looking at the state of the Trent, it might be off.Just as their team, on paper, should have beaten us last season. Thankfully football is played on grass.
I have it on good authority Jordan Rhodes can walk on water, so we'll be absolutely fine.Looking at the state of the Trent, it might be off.

Some of us...We do similar about teams in league 1.
He's speaking facts unfortunately. They could play a 3rd string 11 and still have the quality to beat us comfortably. They have one of the biggest squads in the country.
They have more than 25 players on the books though. If you think that players the caliber of Bowler playing for their B team then you can add another 10 players onto that. It's well known that they have brought in loads if players in the last 2 years. They brought in 13 alone this summer.Forest can only have a squad of 25players just like everyone else in the prem?
Yep. Their squad players should be a bit better than league one level if they are a Prem club.The poster is spot on. Their bench and fringe players eclipse anything we have.
Doesn't mean our lads cannot give it a hell of a go and win the tie.
I think Brian Clough said something similar about football being played on grass!Just as their team, on paper, should have beaten us last season. Thankfully football is played on grass.
We won't see our youth players either, we rarely play them. Jake Daniels anyone??My guess is that we won't see all out first string in the game , anyway.
Can't see us winning, but my fingers are crossed.
6They have lost most players to the African cup of nations (4 I think) but they may be fringe players.
Tbf many say if we have intentions of being right up there you need to be. beating sides below you more often then not.Some of us...
Wrong.Forest can only have a squad of 25players just like everyone else in the prem?
Our fans have said this about the majority of teams in league 1 btw.bberknocker 1 DAY AGO
If we field fringe players, and they collectively can't beat Blackpool at home, then they aren't good enough for the Premiership. As long as the mentality is right, we should be far too strong for them.
Of course. You don't lose lots of games and win leagues.Tbf many say if we have intentions of being right up there you need to be. beating sides below you more often then not.
Which is just a statement of fact really.
But they can only choose from their 25registered players surely?They have more than 25 players on the books though. If you think that players the caliber of Bowler playing for their B team then you can add another 10 players onto that. It's well known that they have brought in loads if players in the last 2 years. They brought in 13 alone this summer.
What I would say is that there isn't the really noticeable drop off between first choice players and second string like last season.Yep. Their squad players should be a bit better than league one level if they are a Prem club.
Bowler is out on loan at the moment and to be honest will probably never play a game for us. Weird signing and seemingly one brought in just in case we were relegated. I'm sure he's really benefitted financially from it but from a career perspective it doesn't seem like a great move for JB's progress.They have more than 25 players on the books though.

It’s the cup, it doesn’t count. See (ahem), Bromley, for reference. Ahem.They’ve probably noticed our away form.
They can pick anyone on their books. The 25 registered players are only for the league. Chelsea have 2 on the pitch now that have never played a league game for them.But they can only choose from their 25registered players surely?
That's my undertstanding. Squad size is effectively non-existent during transfer windows,They can pick anyone on their books. The 25 registered players are only for the league. Chelsea have 2 on the pitch now that have never played a league game for them.
should be ok as we both have 5 subsLooking at the state of the Trent, it might be off.
