I'll take a point here. Very tough game this, and with issues at full back we may be up against it.

Considering how important full backs are to our system it will be tough. 

Boro also marks CH"s last game. Amazing to think we've lost just once since then. 

 I would definitely settle for a point and if i was being cynical, a postponement of this match until later in the season might be beneficial so we get fb situation sorted

They might be a lot stronger post the January window, this could be the best time to play them.

Tutu ( if recovered ) and Colback - not ideal but Im sure we`ll be good for a point at least

I believe Tutu is ok and he will play.

Tutu right back and Colback left back bring it on.

So could we to be fair.

Boro weren't that great last time. Forest did ok. They got clumsily sucker punched (as they often did under Hughton) with two goals.

It will be a different proposition for Boro' this time. But they are growing in stature under Wilder beating Bournemouth (who didn't take their chances) in the process 1-0. But Forest have been on a rampaging and gravity defying run.

With Forest stretched at the fullback positions (again) it will be an intriguing battle between the Manager many fancied for the Forest job (myself included) and Cooper, the Coach who did get the job (who has outperformed my expectations so far) and has been a sound fit with a breathtaking transformation of the Forest team.

Both characters like to go at teams.

No easy match this. But a draw 'could' take Forest into the play offs.

SA.

No talk of a draw from me.

Lets get the 3 points.

FYI to those attending:

On 10/12/21, young Boro fan Billy Marin tragically passed away after a long battle with cancer.

On Boxing Day there has been a round of applause planned for the 25th minute. Billy’s parents will be at the game with his brother and sister Olly and Alivia.

I guarantee we in the away end will respect this gesture.

Cooper's just confirmed that Tutu and Mighten are both out for 2 months.

So our worst case scenario at full back positions is on for the Boro game.

We might see young Back at RB.
