Well if Norwich experience wasn't bad enough, tonight will provide another stern examination of Forest's away form; we have so far achieved two away wins this season. The statistics make uncomfortable reading and don't suggest a third win this evening.
Fulham sit in 9th position in the table with a positive goal difference of 14. Saturdays 3-2 win over Wigan [edit] means that they last lost at home on Jan' 2nd 1-2 to Brighton & Hove Albion. Fulham don't give up and keep playing until the final whistle, a point proven by their two stoppage time goals [half time & full time]. Floyd Ayite opened the scoring, Micheal Jacobs sliding home Max Powers cross, before Kebano's last gasp winner.
Fulham right back Ryan Fredicks is suspended, Denis Odoi likely to fill in. Centre Back Tomas Kalas is a doubt with a hip problem after missing the Wigan game.
So switch ON in stoppage time lads should be a headline message in Gary Brazils team talk.
Forest's coaching team will have a massive job recharging our shell shocked team after last week. Henderson is out for at least the season after snapping his achilles tendon. Eric Lichaj is serving one match ban after receiving a harsh second yellow card.
I don't see how Stokiovic can be fit to start if he didn't even make the bench on Sat'.
A player who may well start is Ross McCormack whose stat's during his two year spell at Fulham are highly impressive. He achieved 38 goals and 18 assists in 89 appearances, before his £12M move to Aston Villa.
Hobbs was possibly not fit on Saturday and may be a doubt for tonight. Pinollios along with the rest of the defence didn't have a good game and will hopefully atone for that tonight.
We will need to score at least twice in order to achieve a score draw so our attack needs to sharpen up.
I'm hoping for a away draw and a all round better performance from the Reds.

Still at the club, just carrying a knock.

Evtimov is injured. He was out on loan earlier in the season. If he can get fit stick him in nets. I have no confidence in Vlad. I think something happened back at home that he went back for. It seems to me that mentally he is just riding out the season ready to return back to his parent club. He isn't going to dig in for Forest.

I would even give Jordan Smith a go. He may be young but he has been at the club a while. He has something to prove whilst Vlad is just going through the motions as he knows there is pretty much zero chance of a permanent deal at the CG. Surely GB can see this?

Wednesday are going to be a tough proposition on Saturday. They are starting to churn the results out. Other than bringing Assombalonga and Vaughan back in, I can't really see what other outfield changes are going to make a big effect on the team.

I think it is going down to the last few games of the season. Ipswich at home will be massive!

Just seen the highlights. I don't think I can remember such a half hearted keeper in the Forest goal in all my years watching the Reds. He was a coward for the last goal. The ball was at head height and all he had to do was grab or punch it but he ducked out of the way.

I won't have any confidence of a positive result for Forest for any game Vlad the Bad plays in. He is stealing a wage from Forest.

Didn't we sign him? I don't think he is on loan?

I thought he WAS on loan. turns out we signed him on a two year deal.
