Inferior structure you meant .... and anyway in these days of massive TV rights attendances aren't quite the driver they once were. However I'm sure you'll be glad to know that we are expanding to 30k capacity which we will no doubt fill every game. Say hello to the concrete cows for me and just remember - You're just a sham club in a sham town
Just as well, that would be insane. My god you were poor. Really really bloody awful. I hope for your sake you brought in a few quality signings in the window? If not your season's heading towards a painful & inevitable relegation. Worrying times.
Well BBC Sport list it as a 3pm kick off on 20/02/2016 - do they know something the rest of us (apart from the FA) don't?
Forest beat Leeds yesterday 1-0. From the 'highlights' neither looked very impressive, but Leeds looked particularly ropey.
after yesterday that will definitely be all our squad players. I'll be surprised if any of yesterdays starting 11 play
Most have been given extra time off to recover this week. Lets get the palace game out of the way and give as many of the key players as possible as rest. There's points to be had against Bournemouth and Palace before we have United and Leicester in 4 days. Get past Leeds and the top players can have another little rest for the 1/4 final Survival still needs to be our priority, lets not do a Blackpool, we can rest and rotate players once we hit the 40 point mark.
I think we will put a halt to the Leicester juggernaut, I don't know why, but I have a good feeling about our game on March 5th. We will win!!!
I`m sorry , Leicester occupy a place in the top 8 , thus , the formation , to try and grab a cheeky 1-0 loss will be 6-4-0
Leeds are a poor side, but as we saw against Spurs, the weakness lies if a team had a spread formation, rather than a compact formation which we can deal with. They won't have full backs as good as Spurs', but those playing wide HAVE to square up to the attackers rather than show them one way or the other because it just led to disaster on Saturday and they should have scored a few more from those crosses. Personally I would play Guedioura for his athleticism and tell him to cover the wide two (just sit in the hole just inside where cutters can run if full back/winger gets pulled out of position). Saying that, it is Leeds so dangerous crosses like against Spurs are unlikely. We NEED another midfielder to sit on the edge of the box during that scenario too as second balls weren't even contested way too frequently v Spurs. Also need two up top when defending, no point sitting so deep against a Championship club.
On saturday , at one point , they had a corner , and left FOUR men back , we still had all 11 men back
That is mental to be fair. Yeah I'm one of his bigger critics too (unless that is the point you were making), but using his athleticism to track back down the channels, rather than through the middle where a gaping hole can appear if he farks it, means he can run round like a headless chicken which is what he enjoys. Due to the fact he's so athletic he can also get back into the middle pretty easily too. I have the idea of 'controlled expansion' rather than 'brainless sprinting' in my head.

Long day at work, apologies! Think this is the sort of game he should play in. I'd never choose him in the Prem though to be honest.
