Just hoping we're in the game by half time. Asombalonga worries the hell out of me. One of best players outside of the premiership and Jackson and McDonald need to be on their top form today.
Lots of changes to the squad for different reasons. Four to the starting line up. Never good when the team has been on a good run. We've a poor record at their ground so it's time to overturn recent history. Just like we did against Norwich and Blackburn. It's going to be a tough one though and a draw would do me nicely.
Unexpected changes. Are they to match Forest's 451, or necessitated by injuries. Is Winnall being on the bench evidence that he may be on the way in January? Is Morsy temporarily not our player until he (hopefully) signs permanently? Isn't Armstrong's loan up now, but he is on the bench? Moncur looks to be back to stay and scrap for his place. We have no cover for central defence if either Jackson, or MacDonald get injured in this game.
No need to panic. Winnall & Watkins both put in massive shifts on Saturday. Scowen, Hammill & Willians are all fresh & Bradshaw & Kent didn't play 90 minutes which is why they're all starting I'd imagine & then there's Hourihane who's undroppable. The only thing I'm a bit surprised with is that Bree hasn't been rested for White with Bree's history of injury problems & the short gap between the two games.
