….live in hope, I think their strength is counter-attack even at home so that shouldn’t really be a factor against us. As we saw against United, they are decent defensively now, so it’ll be difficult to pinch a goal and we’ll almost certainly need one.

It has a 0-0 stalemate written all over it from what I can see or else a set piece goal for 1-0 and can't see that being us as our set pieces have been shocking since McNeil got injured

We didn't qualify, though. They did.

Us losing in the qualifers and saying we made the CL is like losing in the Championship play-offs and saying we played in the Premier League.

It's not being negative. It's being correct. My point is simply that as a club, we have completely underachieved even in comparison to the non-super clubs. And that's utterly damning of how we have been run.

That same season we fell apart in the Europa league qualifying so despite the dodgy ref appointment and decisions, maybe we weren't good enough to play in it anyway. Remember that Villareal team that beat us at home went all the way to the semi finals that year.

...and on the other hand, it's just luck that saw us go into qualifying when we finished 4th but the likes of Newcastle, Villa and next season Forest won't have to.

The thing that annoyed me most, and it's really petty, is the fact that in the qualifying round we didn't get to wear those champions league badges. Nothing to do with the teams we could have played (we've played them in friendlies since), that would have at least given us a little memory.
 
I think we’ll win this. Forest are at their best when their opponents got at them. We’ll sit back and - with them being at home and suddenly having a lot to lose on account of their position - I think they’ll overcommit and we’ll outforest them with Beto scoring on the break.

Just would love see moyes try something different maybe a front 4 of beto ndiaye alcaraz broja all players that can carry the ball.

I struggle to see what Broja does, maybe he just needs game time. Me saying this is a sure fire sign he'll either score or not play.

Ndiaye out left with Alcaraz at 10 setting up Beto I can see for us. When's Dwight back?

Got so unlucky drawing that boss Villarreal team, think they got to the semis or quarters that year or the one after

the only thing i really care about for this is alcaraz starting so we can snap him up and not lose him to a club playing european football

and mcneil getting some good minutes

We have the option regardless. It’s mandatory if he hits the no of games started, but ye, I’d be happier if it became mandatory!
