That’s a huge miss with Holtby out too, if so.

[S8 & Blue 3123]

Wouldn’t be surprised if some of today’s positivity is reigned in a little with this game. 

Forest have a good squad and a very good manager. 

Title decider? ?

[JacknOry 4700]

Rothwell and Holtby out? That's massive. 

Buckley for Holtby perhaps but we dont have anyone else like Rothwell.

elliot out wide should hopefully see the end of the gallagher experiment,there was never any point in him being there now even less seeing as we have dolan,chapman,elliot and brereton would can fill the spots on the flanks,tony should tell gally to get in the box and make life difficult for the centre backs on set pieces and high balls,jeez he`s big enough,if he can`t do that then there is no place for him

[BankEnd Rover 533]

People need to chill out with what’s gone on today.

No doubt we will loose tomorrow and all will be forgotten, come on folks.

I just had a chuckle to myself: can you imagine the response if Elliot Bennet and Amari Bell are the full backs tomorrow, Evans the defensive midfielder and Gallagher and Brereton the wide forwards? It couldn't happen, could it? But Tony is in charge.....

(Great window potentially though,  I hope we've dispensed with all the nonsensical selections now and are really going for the top 2). Hopefully exciting times ahead, shame we can't be present.

Even Mowbray wouldnt play Bennett carrying a serious injury! Wouldnt be surprised if Gallagher starts however.

The word of the week is nuclear ?

Fulham winger Anthony Knockaert has joined Nottingham Forest on a loan deal until 7 January.

I wonder if he will feature tomorrow, he did get Cup games at Fulham this Season but had become a League bench warmer.

Whats the story with Rothwell, how the fuck is he injured after a two week international break. We need him tomorrow.

Someone on Facebook said he is out with covid symptoms it could be BS

[WacoRover 312]

I know I predicted a win earlier; but our new additions won’t be in the squad tomorrow, and we are looking pretty thin in midfield (Travis also out). 

I guess I would gladly take a point, and hope for better days soon. You can’t always get what you want. And, I got everything I wanted today (& more!)

Some fella said on FB that Rothwell has covid symptoms and is out tomorrow, it may not even be true not seen Sharpe or Crooke or anyone connected to the club saying it 

[davulsukur 4054]

Assuming Rothwell is out and none of todays signings are going to start:

That’s a pretty fair 11...even with the long list of absentees. No guarantees on another clean-sheet, but defensively, that doesn’t look too bad. 

[DeeCee 1213]

New manager bounce for Forest so will be limited to 4-0

Bit of pressure on a couple of them to keep their places now too with the new signings.

Exactly what we needed.

Yep, competition never hurt anybody. Rovers have definitely upped their game.

The pressure now is on one person- Mowbray.

Signed after midday deadline to be eligible for weekend games

So none of our four deadline day signings are eligible then either.

Or was Douglas done in the morning?

Trybull and Douglas eligible.

Be tough and the new recruits won’t be ready. Thankfully should be the same for Forest. A win would be massive considering the cavalry coming in next week.
