[Archived] Nottingham Forest Carling Cup 3rd Round Preview

[Mr. E]

The midfield and forward line looks potentially fantastic.

The defense looks like something out of a nightmare.

[rover6]

I think that this team will thrash Forest. Reasons:

- Emerton always has at least one exceptional game on the right wing per season.

- Hoilett confident and on form.

- Nzonzi and Reid will dominate the midfield.

[rebelmswar]

Forrest are going to attack us like a rabid badger.

That back line makes me feel all cold inside. Let us hope we can keep them busy in midfield and attack.

Audacity, audacity, always audacity.

[DeadlyDirk]

The defence really isn't that bad, certainly not for a second string one, Jones is untried at this level but came on well in the academy and reserves, Nelsen is our skipper and has been tremendous for us before, okay he's been shocking this year but don't write him off just let, the same with Salgado. Olsson seems to be hit and miss, good going forward on the overlap though!

You expect Olssen to overlap Hoilett? NEVER

[DeadlyDirk]

Haha good point! I stand corrected, plenty of pace down the left hand side at least.

[Paul]

Extremely nervous about that back line. Better keep posession or Forest will get through the rearguard very easily.

I'm going to hide in the garage, the nights are drawing in and I need to fix my cycle lights. Back at half-time

[philipl]

Yes but anyone fancy Salgado in a race against Earnshaw?

[mellison24]

Salgado will stare at Earnshaw's legs so powerfully that they will snap.

[rebelmswar]

Yes but anyone fancy Salgado in a race against Earnshaw?

On the back of last match, I would not fancy Salgado with the aforementioned Stephen Hawkins.

[Blueandwhitemike]

Salgado, if he has any future, had to play, if he is going to get better it will be through playing. Good to see hoilett on the left, if he plays well tonight I'd expect to see him on Saturday.

Good attacking potentially exciting line up, hopefully Benni and Nikola, with junior's help will tear them apart.

Its on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra:

I guess they aren't providing coverage online. Listening to a DAB radio and that channel is working fine for me, some of us are in live chat talking about the game.

[Wolverine]

It's on Xtra, you need to tune to the 5live logo that is green not blue on the 'live radio' tab.

Works fine for me.

Reid booked.

[Gavlar Somerset Rover!]

Cotterill on sky sports 'forest are exploiting salgado with tyson's pace. Blimmin heck he's been worked out in under 1 match!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Pompey losing to Carlisle 1-0.

Moko involved:

1950: GOAL Carlisle 1-0 Portsmouth

Sadly for Pompey fans, this probably isn't much of a shock. Aaron Mokoena fouls Joe Anyinsah and former Leeds free-kick legend Ian Harte rifles in the penalty kick.

Hart to get sacked tonight?

Sounds like Forest are on top so far. Tyson destroying Salgado

[John]

Craig Burley saying our passing is poor - and some wonder why we take the direct approach....

Sounds like Forest are really up for this. Tyson tormenting Salgado.

Tyson is one the quickest players in the football league. 100 metres in 11 secons apparently.

I had nightmares this morning that they would unleash him against Salgado ... but never thought anyone would be so naive as to allow it to happen after his showing on Sunday.

And some wonder, why a creative midfielder was not signed.

[rovers1995]

Salgado was awful on Sunday and he's started like that today. Glad we got him on a free.
