It's going to be a big call to see if Ayala plays or not. I wonder if Nyambe had been fit to play last night, if he would have been rested.

Needs to change it up for the next game in the front 3.

I like Dolan and his energy and work rate is useful but its limited.

Diaz-----------Gallagher--------Chapman

Stick Gallagher through the middle, give Chapman a start and see if he can get a bit of momentum going. Give Dolan a rest.

N&W eulogising about Ayala just now but Harry Chapman also deserves a special mention. Turned that 1 point into 3.

Has he regained Mowbray’s trust?

Yep, I thought he was excellent.

Nice bit of pace and got their lad sent off.

So the Mowbray journey has taken us from set piece merchants, to a team that couldn't buy a goal from a set piece, back to set piece merchants? 

I'll take 7 from 9 but I have no idea what the managers' philosophy is at this point.

Me neither but its waaayy better than trying to have all the possession and then losing 1-0

Get the f**k in there!!

What the hell was that free kick??

Forest down to 10 men

and 5 mins to go

About time they had a red.

Get in!!!!!

Why Rothwell and not Buckley?

 

Because Tony Mowbray

Sakes

Really need a sub on Tony.....

Forest are rapidly becoming a really unlikeable team. 

Moaning and complaining about everything and trying to con the ref by hitting the deck easily.

Feel like we need a change here, maybe Dolan off for Butterworth.

Awful challenge from Colback 

Come on!!!!

Sharpe saying he got it wrong.

Just bought a match pass but after seeing that formation and line up, I'm already regretting it.

Thank you Uncle Jack. We can look back on what you gave us with great pride.

There are tough times ahead but the memories you gave us keep us strong and give us hope that one day, we can see Rovers return to better times.

You turned your, and our dreams into a reality, and for that we will always be grateful.

RIP Rovers number one fan.

We need players who will add quality. Yes there are few free players who might but depends on wages demands. 

How many of us ever heard of Nelsen or Sambe before Hughes signed them? 

Tugay and Friedal was known to Souness through past connections of managing them.

Kaminski was scouted for ages and recommend by our former head of European scouting Glyn Chamberlain

Would be fairly good signing and could possible fill in at left back if need be

Would take him as he is quality midfielder and someone Mowbray wanted to sign  last January on a permanent deal

Really? How much would he have cost? Feels like we wouldn't have been able to afford him?

Matty Longstaff linked on loan, three club rule in place though.

Do we need another CM?

You know the score for this 1-0 Forest and Joe Lolley to score, he loves a goal against us.

And this.

Forest to win 1-0.

Mowbray seems to play straight into Hughtons hands.

Good that we finally have someone through the door.

Hopefully he's decent as well! 

Really need another striker and som defenders though.

Ntcham trying to drum up some interest. If he’s still available after August and we need more players, then it’s something that could be revisited. 
 

I hope it’s a permanent signing tomorrow, but doubt it’ll be a striker as we’re probably still waiting on Obafemi. 

Its going to be the Liverpool midfielder on loan i reckon.

I hope that was just shithousery from Joe towards the end with the injury....

Tough game, really tough and was feeling pretty down till the goal as we weren't threatening. But what a goal it was, superb.

Really hope Ben is gonna 'do an armstrong', he sprang into life when dacky got injured and we need someone to do the same now Armo is gone.

Ayala I think makes a massive difference especially in a young team, another 90 will hopefully do him good.

Butty looked bright again when he came on, he needs a full half or even a start next game for me.

 

Question now is, can we play him Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday? 

2 tough games coming up and we could really use him.

A good point away from home and to come from a goal down makes it even better.

Mowbray needs to get it right from the off though, instead of starting one way and switching it around later on.
