Welcome to the Matchday Thread, both teams come into this game on the back of (very) disappointing results, so this has all the makings of a tough game and with Forest at home you can't write them off (1-1 anybody??)
Venue...City Ground...Date...8th Feb...Kick Off...1730hrs
Team News
Leeds United
Marcelo Bielsa will continue to take a patient approach with January loan signing Jean-Kevin Augustin. The RB Leipzig striker did not feature in last weekend's squad but did play 45 minutes for the U23s in On Monday, although he did pick up a slight knock in the game against Sheffield Wednesday.
Gaetano Berardi, who has not played since January 6 because of a calf injury but did make last weekend's squad, got 45 minutes for the U23s as did another January signing Ian Poveda and Jamie Shackleton. Midfielder Kalvin Phillips completes a three-match ban.
Forest
Midfielder Samba Sow is likely to be fit for the visit of Leeds. The 30-year-old missed last weekend's defeat at Birmingham with a minor knee injury but returned to training this week.
New signing Nuno Da Costa could be in line for his debut after a full week's training following his arrival from Strasbourg, although that would most likely be from the bench. Another new signing Adama Diakhaby could make his first start after two substitute appearances.

Match facts
Nottingham Forest have lost just one of their previous seven home league games against Leeds (W4 D2), a 2-0 defeat in August 2017.
Leeds have only won two of their past 14 league games against Nottingham Forest (W2 D6 L6), winning both games during 2017.
Nottingham Forest were unbeaten in seven league games before defeat at Birmingham last time out.
Leeds have won two of their previous 10 games in all competitions (D3 L5) since winning seven in a row in November/December.
Only 47% of Nottingham Forest's points have come from home matches, the second lowest percentage in the Championship this season ahead of only Bristol City (44%).
Leeds have failed to score in three of their last four league matches, as many times as they had done so in their previous 28 games.
No way am i slating any Player who wears a Leeds Shirt but i think the lads need to get their shooting boots on, we have to start racking up the points again , despite my pessimistic start to the thread i think we might nick this one 1-2 Bamford getting both of ours

Errrr
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My fault, I was asking admin to f00k these 2 off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rev's OK.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not taking sides, They obviously have beef. Do it on their own match threads.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, but Rev didn't come on the thread looking for a fight. It's good when opposing fans come on a match thread, so long as they keep it reasonably friendly. Don't think Rev was expecting to be ambushed by an old adversary from a team not involved in the match. Annoying when you can't get a word in about the game because of constant ' reply-to-reply-to-reply-to-reply' comments overwhelming the screen, though!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't have a problem with Rev, but he can just stop replying if he doesn't want to fook the thread up.

Sorry guys, I didn’t mean for the thread to get sabotaged - I was really enjoying being with supporters who had a vested interest in the actual match
I’m not sure why a Leicester supporter felt the need to
come on here and basically wind up folk on here
I’ve had issues with Blackstarr in the past, but it shouldn’t have come onto here and ruined what was a good thread - and I’m sorry for the part I contributed in that
He didn’t know I’d been recovering from an illness...nobody did, but he apologised, and hopefully the hatchet’s been buried - hopefully, no more of that silly nonsense
Chins up you lot - you’ll go to Brentford and get 3 points next week

Cheers ReV. Best Wishes for your Recovery

Yep, sorry Leeds fans - I was being daft
That Cal Neva guy is a bit intense though

Rev hope everything is ok now re your illness

Get well soon rev.

Thanks guys - I’m getting there - it was a bit touch and go at one point, but I’m recovering pretty well
Anyway - all the best, and enjoy the rest of the season....if that’s at all possible
