Who would you start against Forest for Saturday?
I would be tempted to go for the same team as last week, however I would go with as follows....
-----------------Green
Ayling---Bartley---Cooper---C Taylor
Sacko---Bridcutt---Vieira---Roofe
-----------Wood---Antonsson
Subs: Silvestri, Jansson, Coyle, Mowatt, Phillips, Hernandez, Doukara.
Forest have conceded six goals at home so far this season, conceding 10 in the competition altogether, so I think we should set up same as last week however Roofe in for Mowatt and go at them from the off.
The main thing for us will be to keep Assombalonga and Burke quiet.
Team for Saturday

Same team that beat Wendies.
But, tempted to add Roofe for Mowatt.

Ayup! It has been goals galore at the CG so far this season. Forest are far more attacking than last season so hopefully won't be a repeat of that game of chess 1-1 draw last December. Assombalonga may be fit to start but Montanier is keeping things close to his chest. Burke seems to have found his feet and will run very directly at the left hand side of your defence. A young lad called Cash has broken through in the No.10 role and is getting rave reviews.
As a result, though, the defence appears vulnerable and crosses into the near post in particular appear to cause them all sorts of problems. Henderson appears a decent shot stopper but there doesn't appear to be great communication between him and the back four. He was lobbed from 45 yards at Millwall so confidence could be low as he was slammed by the more idiotic twitter trolls after the match. Montanier has brought in some crazy Serb keeper since so the pressure is on.
It's my first game of the season so hoping for more goals but hopefully one more than your boys.
3-2 to Forest, I reckon. Enjoy your trip.

They can score and we cant defend so expecting at least a 2-2 draw. 4-4 would make for good watching

Mowatt played well, deserves to keep his place. Adds a bit of balance and more flexible formation is possible too.

Sacko to chop through trees down!

You replace Viera with Mowatt u lose legs in that midfield and energy. Dallas is out of form too.

Same team v Sheff Weds for me. If it was at home id say swap Mowatt for Roofe but not away

Mowatt on the left allows us to adopt a 4-3-3 when attacking if that's what we want to do. Same team as against Wednesday imo.

One game against a lower ranked team, Dallas been average. He has got it in him to be a good player, but as he even said, he ain't been playing his best football.
