  • Coyb!!!!!

  • How good does that look, hard to overstate how much I'd love to be there today. Let's hope we can get something today, sure the lads will be up for it and we've got the better recent form.

  • I remember the excitement of playing them in the league cup in 96, Stuart Pearce and all.
    Playing them in the league as equals is madness.

  • Absolutely insane that since we last played Forest, they've had 21 managers. We've had two...

  • 2 since ‘96 ? Surely not. Have we played them since then then ?

  • @micra Last time was the League Cup in 2011

  • Thanks @chairboyscentral . Crikey. More per season than we’ve had in ten years. Or perhaps only nine!

  • @micra That's including caretakers, but it's bonkers. Put it this way: Clough was their 15th permanent manager in 104 years; Hughton is the 21st in the 27 years since Clough retired.

    I think Forest beat Wycombe 3-0 or 3-1 at adams park in the league cup. Robbie Findlay scored two maybe (and he didn’t score many). He was a sprinter from the University of Oregon (big athletics college) and played soccer.

  • Biggest game of the season so far...would be over 20,000 there if fans were allowed in!

  • And a shout out for Nathan Tyson and Gary Holt who represented both clubs really well. Holt was one of the best combative midfielders I’ve seen at Adams Park.

  • If you can be elated and somewhat deflated at the same time...this is that fixture for me. Being an away supporter at the City Ground would have been a surreal experience!

  • The manner of Holt's departure ruined his legacy for me

  • Mehmeti starts over Adeniran. Bayo also misses out. No surprise, it would have been his 4th game in 2 weeks.

  • Let me guess, "Gape and McCarthy are back in training and close to being in contention"

  • McCleary straight to the bench when described as being a couple of weeks away so doubt it

    Does anyone know how to fix iFollow black screen with constant white turning circle please? Think I've seen the issue mentioned on here before but can't find a solution.

    Got the same on Wednesday and had to move onto the tiny phone screen

  • No Uche either

    Certainly an aggressive line-up. Big call switching Adeniran and Mehmeti, but i like it. Hopefully i still will in a couple of hours! Perhaps Wheeler will play a bit deeper.

    I see Uganda are playing Thursday, we'll know more about Uche's fitness after that.

    Thanks...made it onto a still picture behind the wheel which is still not ideal but definite progress!

  • No Gape again (or McCarthy, but he won't be getting into the defence the way it's playing).
    Uche injured again - how does he manage it?!

    Not a word has been said about Charles, who has gone from starter, to not even making squads. Presume he's just not being selected, like Pattison and Freeman, rather than being injured or ill?

    Agreed...my kids are asking where I would have been sitting at the city ground

  • Gape and McCarthy ready to go and back after the break, Uche not injured by the sounds of it (all from Chairboys Live)

  • Looks like 4-4-2 with Wheeler and Kashket up top as v Norwich

  • No Bayo and no like-for-like with Uche makes this a different proposition to the last few games.

  • I'd prefer to give Fred a go as second striker over wheeler...?

  • Same here. It would be mad putting Wheeler up top given how much defensive work he does.
