[Archived] Nottingham Forest Carling Cup 3rd Round Preview

[joey_big_nose]

Full strength team v Forest hopefully, maybe bring Hoilett in and drop a midfielder

No chance. Wholesale changes for this both due to fitness, and a desperate need to find attacking solutions. I will be suprised if more than three start from the Everton game.

[LeChuck]

There will definitely be a lot of changes, we've got a number of players nearing full fitness who need a chance to prove themselves in the first team. I'd go with...

............... Robinson

Salgado Nelsen Samba Olsson

............ N'Zonzi Reid

.. Emerton McCarthy Hoilett

................ Kalinic

[broadsword]

Forest are 15/8 to win, wonder if it's worth a cheeky fiver?

No - Take 11/10 - Blackburn win

[Helmshore blue]

No - Take 11/10 - Blackburn win

they are 6/4 with betfair, and liverpool at 4/5 could be a decent double

[Iceman]

Impress against Forest and keep the shirt

Big Sam has warned the players that after yesterday, most of their positions are in Jeopardy and that if anyone impresses in the cup then they will get a chance in that position.

So if J Roberts scores a hattrick agains Forest, he keeps the shirt? Its clear Roberts is a good lower division striker. Im not sure why we actually signed Kalinic and Di Santo, if we dont intend playing them. I know Di Santo has been injured, but we need a change up front for 2 or 3 games.

[sambo]

No - Take 11/10 - Blackburn win

They don't count extra time do they?

I think we should line up

Robinson

Jacobson

Samba

Nelsen

Ollsson

Emerton

Reid

N'Zonzi

Hoilett

Kalinic

McCarthy

[broadsword]

No - Take 11/10 - Blackburn win

Evens for a blackburn win? Rubbish odds.

[Helmshore blue]

Evens for a blackburn win? Rubbish odds.

Its 6/4 online, and id say that is a very good price.

[Tom]

I'd like to see the following:

Brown

chimbonda Nelsen Samba Olson

Emerton NZonzi Reid Van Heerden

Hoilett

Kalinic

[mellison24]

I'd like to see the following:

Brown

chimbonda Nelsen Samba Olson

Emerton NZonzi Reid Van Heerden

Hoilett

Kalinic

I'd go with that. I never thought of Hoilett in AM role, but thinking about it, it could be perfect. Kalinic appears crap at everything BUT has shown he can hold up the ball, perhaps for Bert, Junior and EVH to run on to?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

We need to give Brown a game if only to protect Robinson.

Brown

Reid

Chimbonda

Nelsen

Ollsen

Hoilet

Emerton

Nzonzi

Diouf

Kalinic

McCarthy

[Presty On Tour]

I'd play

Brown

Salgado Chimbonda Nelsen Ollson

Emerton Reid Nzonzi Van Heerden

Hoilett Kalinic

[super_arran]

Robinson

Jacobson, Samba, Nelsen, Chimbonda

Holliet, Reid, N'Zonzi, Emerton

Di Santo, Kalinic

Dunno why but I really want Di santo and Kalinic to be given the chance to play up front together.

I reckon because they're both young and eager to impress they'll feed off each other and create a fair few chances....here's hoping

[Presty On Tour]

Di Santo isn't allowed to play because of Chelsea's wishes.

[Brfcrule1]

Hi all,

just want to wish the lads well tommorrow night I shall be listening to updates from my mum's and to let everyone know am off on holiday on wednesday to Menorca so you will all have peace and quiet from me for about 7 days Lol! am looking forward to sunbathing on the beach with my new rovers velour towel so should be good will see you all when I get back.

Laters all.

p.s. enjoy the trip to the city ground tomorrow night for everyone that is going up

[roversmum]

Waste of time him coming really.

[John]

Waste of time him coming really.

At least we did not have to pay a transfer fee for him - will be in the club's best interests that Chelsea recall in January (which they almost certainly will), as our wage bill is bulging - wonder if Ellington will still be available then

[Fraserkirky]

Big changes I think

Robinson

Salgado Samba Nelson Olssen

Emerton Reid Nzonzi Hoilett

McCarthy Kalanic

Possibly change Salgado for chimbonda.

3-1 Rovers

Kalanic,Hoilett,Nzonzi

[T4E]

I'd be willing to wager that not only will Andrews start, Sam will make him captain.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

I'd play

So would I......couldn't do any worse

[modes98]

Im praying that Brown doesnt play - he just isnt good enough!!

I concur. Sending Bunn out on loan and keeping Brown was a mistake.

We need to give Brown a game if only to protect Robinson.

Robinson could play. I presume keepers get the same level of fatigue as outfield players. If anything the more games the better really, keep up his good form.

[Hughesy]

Robinson should play - Brown is not good enough - We need to play a very strong side tonight - take it serious, get back to winning ways and get some of our attackers amongst the goals.

Kalinic, Benni, NZonzi, Emerton & Hoilett should all start - if we take tonight too lightly then we could slip up, it wont be easy!

[Bobby G]

My line-up, although I think Brown will start, Id have:

-------------------------------------------Robbo

Salgado------------Samba-----------------------------Chimbonda--------------Olsson

Emerton----------Nzonzi-----------------------Reid------------------------Hoillett

--------------------Benni--------------------Kalinic------------------------------------

Agree with everyone except Salgado. He was dire against Everton.
