Match Thread Notts Forest 0-2 Everton. Tue Dec 30th. 7.30 pm

[Miked1e]

Just cannot see us scoring anytime soon.... never getting any decisions going our way, and we are not creating enough. Eithout a bit of magic from Jack, KDH or Ndiaye we are struggling big time.

Need Dibling and Alcaraz to step up to the plate tmrw night.

Literally last season. They were playing very well under Nuno, much better than they are now. We had McNeil and Doucoure on the break.

I thought Dyche had them 6th in the form table? They ended last season in very poor form too.

They’re 17th at the moment and on their third manager of the season. Only you could make out that they’re doing better than where Nuno had them last season. Give over.

I never said they were doing better, but I do think they’re a better squad. They’ve invested another £200m into the team that finished 7th last season. The ridiculous decision to sack Nuno from their lard arse owner has derailed them. I think their squad is at least the 10th strongest in the league.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Would love us to do the football masterclass merchant again, but can’t see it with the injuries and afcon, and the squad they have at their disposal, even thought Dyche will manage them and their expectations down.

Need McNeil and dibling to step up and do much more, which is why dibling should have had more minutes as he looks rusty.

Maybe we change the shape and go with two up top?

Take a point right now tbh.

Merry feckin Christmas!

Yes I think the Gorest team that played us a few weeks ago will be a different team tomorrow—last time we played them they had a few players doubtful with injuries and although most of them played they didn’t look up for it especially Gibbs White and Murillo the centre back didn’t play —- with the different squad we’ve got now I’d be made up with a point. Forest at 11/10 looks like buying money.

Watched them against city on Saturday they will give us a very hard game on that performance

any chance one of cho or ndoye comes as part of the mcneil deal

absolutely hilarious the mercurial wide options dyche has at his disposal and he wants the slowest player in the league

 

[Toffeelover]

His “gaffer” is Dyche. He’s saying he wants Notts Forest to win. Thats why he disappeared from the forum for 24 hours after the last game.

We did well there last year, Doucoure with a last minute winner, was a class goal

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Can see another 0-0 coming up. Might be the best we can get with so many out. Fearful it might go heavily the other way fhough with a 2+ to nil win for them. Sad but realistic given the likely line up.

Pickford
O'Brien - Tarkowski - Keane - Mykolenko
Garner - Iroegbunam
Dibling - Rohl - McNeil
Barry

….think playing them at their place suits us because they tend to be best on the break.

It might be similar tomorrow, can see us being under the cosh and us having to sit deep. Might be case of us riding our luck and hanging in there but I fear that if they score it’ll be difficult for us to come back from, especially if we concede early.

I know Alcaraz was poor at the weekend but I’d include him as he does transition well and might be our best chance of getting up the field. If he can just pick the right pass you never know but it’ll be a difficult game even if Grealish is back.

 

[Bryan+]

This place may actually implode if we get schooled. Which I fear is a very real possibility.

 

[Lob]

Just don't know where goals are coming from. Worst strikers in the league and our best quality players are either in Africa, injured or hungover from lap dancing bars.

 

[Cels]

Let's hope that Jack "The Boozehound" Grealish has taken some LEMSIP MAX and is fit to play in this one.
