The back 3 seems to be getting more fine tuned now and while I don't love it, I can see its worth away from home. I'd stay unchanged;

IVERSEN
SVDB BAUER HUGHES
BARKY WHITEMAN MCCANN EARL
BROWN
SEANI RIIS
​
Possibly Barky and Brown might be feeling the strain from a few starts so possibly we'll see Storey come in for Barky with Sepp moving out to RWB and maybe DJ in for Brown.
 
I think it’s a good sign that this thread is quiet…barring any injuries it has to be the same 11 which can only be a good thing.
 
Different opposition so different problems. Cooper always favoured possession football at Swansea with no real target man. We’ll go with 3 at the back but whether we freshen it up a bit in midfield or wide will be decided by how fit they are and any possible knocks. Is Olosunde in the frame finally or is he still not ready ?
 
Honestly think we’ll do well to get anything from tomorrow’s game.

We’ve spent significant physical and emotional energy in the last week - and with all the tiredness and the travelling - only getting back to Preston yesterday and presumably travelling to Nottingham today, while Forest will have been recovering and preparing since a home match on Tuesday night - it’s a very hard call.

He might choose 4 or 5 new faces or go unchanged. Both options carry big risks. This one is above my pay grade!

I would suspect winning at Bournemouth will have helped those aching limbs.

We are only going to Nottingham.

Can’t see wholesale changes if no is carrying a knock and they can rest after for two weeks then

They didn’t come back to Preston. They are currently at St George’s Park

In the post-match pitch-side interview on Quest, Frankie did say that they were staying in the Bournemouth area overnight then travelling back to Preston on Thursday morning. But maybe they changed plans or went from Preston to St. George's.

Anyway... those specific travel details don't change my feeling that it's a tall order to raise ourselves again tomorrow. Obviously, we're on exciting form, and we might do it. But it's a tricky call to know whether to freshen the team or not. Hopefully it comes together nicely.
 
Understood the original plan was to stay at St George’s park but then they were able to get a flight back at 1 pm on Thursday spending some of that morning in a hotel with a gym and spa. Sadly I find these little details quite interesting ! Doubt there’ll be many if any changes but I would be tempted to rest Maguire who I thought was slightly off it at Bournemouth. Just not sure who’d come in for in him. Frankie likes a proper front 2 and I can’t see who else would come in on that basis; Sinclair maybe but he’s not shown much form recently.
