[Albion] Premier League 21-23/2/25

[Guinness Boy]

Not really sure what the preferred outcome is in the Saudi game today, but would be handy if Forest could give them a bit of a physical battering before next weekend.

Draw and lots of injuries for both?

Draw and lots of injuries for both?

I'll take that.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Dreadful at the back from the Saudis.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

This is not a good week for Popes.

 

[Han Solo]

Surely Forest are a Chris Wood hamstring strain away from the same?

Nah. Awoniyi is a good replacement.
Wood is good but far from their most important player. Their real strength is the defence and the insanely pacy wingers.

 

[Triggaaar]

Xg 0.02, but they're 1 up?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Game over for the Toon. You can’t allow Forest to score first this season.

This Forest team, impervious to injuries and the best at defending the penalty area in the division, don’t have to come out their half anymore. They can control the narrative for the rest of the match.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Their real strength is the defence and the insanely pacy wingers.

And the fact that even their fans would surely admit Lady Luck has smiled on them for almost the whole season.

Barely any injuries, their red cards get overturned, and even their crap shots go in (like that one. God knows- no pun intended- where Pope was).

Xg 0.02, but they're 1 up?

A lot of people don’t understand XG…

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Xg 0.02, but they're 1 up?

Forest in a nutshell.

 

[Seagull58]

Any mention of their goalkeepers recent performances by any chance?
One of their keepers must be in with a chance of Player of the Season at their club.

(Kepa at Bournemouth)

They have 7 (seven) keepers on their books. Sadly for them the rules only allow them to play one in goal in each match but, thinking outside the box, they could play a second keeper in an outfield position and use both of them to protect the goal but with only one able to use his hands, which wouldn't handicap either Sanchez or jorgensen since they mainly use their hands to throw the ball in the net.

1-1 now

 

[Swegulls]

Well, Newcastle will turn this around now.

But they haven't.

More to come! Forest will implode, they’ve had their fun this season

 

[oldboyroy]

Pen to Newcastle?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

That's handball all day long. Surprised it's taking this long.
