Don't think it will be a typical away game, more like a hone game (unfortunately) the way Forest play. If we can get an early goal (a la Bournemouth last week) it will turn into an away game I feel.

Perhaps we should play a low block and counter attack too. See who cracks first.

Well that would be fine if it was a 3pm kick off as I'd be inebriated enough to not really notice. But with a 12.30 kick off there's a chance I'll only be slightly merry and easily bored.

Actually love the idea of playing Lamptey at centre-back. Will befuddle Forest no end.

True, but the noisy Forest fans will also be bored and hopefully be quieter than usual or even start getting restless. Both would help.

If all else falls a 0-0 would be decent at their place.

I'd even consider playing Hinsh at left-back. He did remarkably well there last year, especially in Athens.

If/when Hinsh and March are fit, their adaptability will, once again, be invaluable.

Not sure the ball would cross the centre line

0-0 written all over it

Assuming Lamptey and Webster won’t be involved due to pending transfers out - leaves the bench looking rather weak

Verbruggen

Veltman
van Hecke
Dunk (c)
Hinshelwood

Ayari
Baleba

Minteh
Joao Pedro
Georginio

Welbeck

Subs:
Rushworth; Slater; McConville; Turns; Mitoma; Adingra; Gruda; Gomez; C Vickers

If its true that Baleba and Ayari are out, I think we'll have to be looking something like:

Verbruggen

Veltman
Dunk
Van Hecke
Hinshelwood

Gomez
Georginio
Joao Pedro

Minteh
Welbeck
Mitoma

Lamptey JPVH Dunk Veltman
Hinshelwood O Riley
Minteh Pedro Mitoma
Welbeck

Subs: Rushworth, Webster, McConville, Knight, Gomez, Ferguson, Adingra, Georginio, Gruda

Yes. I think Lamptey will play. If not Hinsh at full back - and perhaps Gomez in midfield with O Riley. ?

Presume Baleba isn't transfer related?

Let’s go a bit further and stick our shortest players in the middle and our tallest at full back. Back to the Dan Burn days. Can Ferguson do a job at left back?

Next you‘ll be making the crazy suggestion to play Webster up front!!!
