Nottingham Forest - Ipswich Town

[Reds73]

I would give Aina a rest and move Williams over to right back and bring Moreno in.

Also Morato for Murillo.

Sangare I am sure will start and probably Taiwo too.

Don't think it really weakens us, maybe just a bit.

Don’t think that will be far off Sniff.
With CHO having played 2 full 90’s in a week, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him on the bench and share the game time with Elanga.

Nuno will know how fit they are but 5 days break is decent. I think we should only be resting players if they're genuinely too tired to play. This is a big game, we need to win to build momentum before the City game and this is a prime opportunity.

Basically we should maximise our chances of winning and making anymore than 2/3 changes does not do that.

Omari Hutchinson won't play against us after the horror challenge he suffered against Man U. Kalvin Phillips will be out also.

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Glad Hutchinson is out because he is a class act.

Glad Hutchinson is out because he is a class act.

He was definitely Ipswich Town's best player in November against us. I think he is a player Forest should be keeping an eye on if they go down.

Hutchinson and Delap are both players we should be interested in

Villa have only made 5 changes from their prem starting 11 against palace, I think that’s a number we’ll probably make too

[zicorice]

I want to win the FA Cup - even though it has been scandalously devalued this season- so would go fairly strong.

Sels

Williams Boly Morato Moreno

Yates Sangare Domingez

Elanga MGW

Taiwo

Yep no more than that for me. Took Villa a while to find their rhythm even with those changes but they got the job done in 90 minutes which is key.

Don’t want to see a repeat of Exeter with a completely rotated team then having to panic and bring on people you wanted to give the day off to and make them play extra time aswell.
We have Man City 5 days later, the last thing we need is a gruelling 2 hour slog, Im convinced Exeter was a contributing factor in our performance vs Fulham.

We weren't properly prepared for Exeter. I think we travelled down there on a grueling bus journey one day after a weeks jolly up in Dubai and a nine hour flight.

True, but Ipswich are better than Exeter.

For me, I'm not seeing it as just whether we win or not. I think this is a prime opportunity to build some confidence ahead of a run of games where we will need to win a decent chunk.

The likes of Aina, MGW, Anderson would benefit having a game where they can dominate and reassert themselves after a tough run of games.
