Team Vs Forest

[Tino]

Here we go again, a quick turnaround from Wednesday night.

I think there might be a couple of changes and the questions probably remain the same as before Wednesday.

The back 5 stays the same.

Is Gallagher fit to start? He came off on Wednesday after getting through a lot of work. DJ would probably come in if not. Gallagher of course can offer the coming in from the left allowing Potts to be more central. Not sure DJ could do the same role.

And then you have the same options as before and is probably a choice between Stockley, Barkhuizen and Maguire. And perhaps even Nmecha for wide especially after a good cameo on Wednesday and a good performance wide at Forest. Maguire was a bit hit and miss, certainly just getting back to full fitness but then he did score... It's not easy.

I think he'll go with:

Rudd
Fisher Storey Davies Hughes
Pearson DJ
Potts Browne Barkhuizen
Stockley

But I wouldn't be surprised to see same again... Good to have the options.

As much as I like Maguire I would like to see Stockley get in first team for once and bring Maguire on later in the 2nd half when there defense tire.

Barky & Gally looked fucked.

Rudd
Fisher, Storey, Davies, Hughes
Pearson, Johnson
Potts, Browne, Nmecha
Maguire​

Barky was holding the back of his thigh as though he'd done something to his hamstring, I hope not.

Agree with this, its a tough call between the two but use the big guy first to soften them up then launch Maguero!
Oh to be a manager with such choices!

From sometime next month we might even have to start factoring Robinson into the equation as well. But one game at a time. There might be a case for giving Gallagher and Barkhuizen a rest this week-end and starting them from the bench but that is AN's call. Much as I think Stockley has done well since he arrived I have always had the feeling that once Maguire got off the mark for the season he would quickly get quite a few more.

Often after a quick turn around under AN with the high tempo we’ve looked off the pace. Oddly though I don’t think Norwich provided the stiffest of tests and we were able to make some sensible subs. Still though I’d be tempted to rotate 2 to 3 in the midfield/striker positions with maybe Gally, Barkhuizen and Maguire (possibly) out and DJ, Nmecha and Stockley in

We now have Maguero, Pearlo and De Browney.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Once again we have been selected for the Sporting Life Acca tomorrow, they say we are on a good run of four wins in five, and that we are an outside shout for the play offs and have had a very good January window.

Little concerned today after the briliant performance on Wednesday it must have taken a lot out of our lads coupled with Notts forest having a extra 24 hrs to recover.
How often do you see a team follow up a top class performance with a very flat one.
I will settle for a scrappy win.

Lets just say I trust this manager more than any other to 'get it right' whatever he decides to do team wise.

Stick or twist ? AN will make the best decision and if Forest beat us they probably would have beat us which ever team he puts out.

of course 'unknown injuries' might make it harder for him than we know at this point.
