Looking forward to this for more reasons than one. initially it will be the first of the last four games I'll be able to watch properly. i've been down with a dose of covid on top of having a dose of acute bronchitis, wasn't too sure i was going to come out the other side of it.
This game has every possibility of coming back to bite us.
There's no getting away from the fact that Cooper and Tate have picked them up by the bootlaces. a combination that never quite worked with us.
Non the less looking forward to a good open game and a three point result.

Firstly, and most important, glad to note that you're getting back to good health, JF. Take good care of yourself, my friend, you matter to all of us.

As for the game, we shall be facing a rampant Forest side hell-bent on getting where we want to be in the Premier League. Given their huge incentive, no Cabango and a sieve for a defence, I can only see a Cooper win today. He sure knew what he was doing when he got the hell out of Dodge and well away from our cowboy owners. As much as I hope for a Swan's win I can only see Forest taking the points maybe 3-1. That said, our lot are so unpredictable, I wouldn't fully rule out a surprise today, particularly if Piroe and Oba find their scoring boots. We've absolutely nothing to play for so maybe we'll just relax and go for it. Either that or we'll just phone it in.

Our back line is going to be seriously tested and needs to play above expectations or we're in for a torrid time. Surprise ... no Bennett. At a time of need nowhere to be seen. Lati - Naughton - Manning ... not even dead stoned would we pick a 3-some like this.

It's imperative that Naughton command it as he sees it and that no crosses are permitted.

I'm excited for Congreve. On the left side, let's see what magic he can work with Wolf. And he starts ahead of Ntcham ... don't know what to make of this.

Naughton is the very essence of calm and control at the back. We are starting to pass and play through their lines with some ease
