Don’t be Krul 398 Posted December 9, 2020 Are they on the bench because of the home grown rule? Haven’t looked at the rules about this but nothing to stop Farke naming injured players with no intention of playing them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forest are playing with a strong front 3 - not a lone striker - so Hughton recognises the weakness we have. It's a very attacking line up for a Hughton team, Lolley, Ameobi and Taylor all very capable players and with Knockaert on the bench to give us a difficult last 20 minutes or so. I don't see us keeping a clean sheet. Hopefully we will have enough to score more than they do, but like others I hope those on our bench have a few minutes in them. I'm going for a 3-2 win.

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) So add Krul, Gibson, Byram, Quintilla, Rupp, Placheta, Hernandez and Idah to that lot, and it gets very interesting Edited December 9, 2020 by Crabbycanary3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could be correct but they are very poor and we have far superior firepower. At least we are both brave enough to make predictions before a ball is kicked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
