I expect Karanka won’t want to make too many changes to the side and disturb their momentum too much.

Good on Osborn if he gets the armband. He has worked hard for it.

The only surprise in that line up is Osborn at left back.
Cautiously confident.

Alex Neill has won his last two games as a manager at the CG with Norwich and PNE...

Why? It’s the least disruptive move, other than sticking someone like Yacob at centre back. That would have been more of a gamble IMO.

I wonder if Yacob and Guedioura’s favourite song is the Hokey Cokey?...

Come on you Tricky Trees!

Osborn as captain*. My bad

Robinson was always going to be the man at CB, and Osborn was always gonna be the man to keep his spot warm

What’s even happening with goncalves?
He was injured, played a game, disappeared off the face of the earth.

Dias has done well in flashes, but his overall game is nowhere near cashes. Dias was always seen as more of a threat but cash has been getting goals so he doesn’t even have that accolade any more.

Dias beats a player or two then seems so surprised he immediately conceded possession. He hasn’t had any end product. Doesn’t seem on the wavelength of any of the other forwards. Luckily for him the team have been performing well despite him otherwise more questions would have been asked, I reckon.

Goncalves has looked game at times but can’t perform consistently. Doesn’t seem to have done anything in training to convince Karanka he is worth a squad spot.

It’s good that Karanka hasn’t been put under pressure to play them regardless as happened with previous regimes with the likes of Djebbour and Abdoun, for example.

On this day in 1986.

I wonder if Franz Carr would look so fast against modern day players? Suppose fitness wasn’t so scientifically analysed as it is now. 🍺

City Ground!City Ground!

Lively morning in Notts. Peeing it down now.

At last I'm in on iFollow!!!!

Missed the first 15 minutes, how have we been playing?

We've been on fire until this stoppage; PNE seem to have regrouped, now having more of the play.

Swans three up against Brentford
