There will be no predictions league for this game (PL only).

Looking forward to the game Wednesday, I am hoping to see some rotation, a start for Luiz, Bakwa, Hutchinson, Kaliumendo, Zinchenko and Mcatee. Anderson needs a rest.

I want to see the new players get time and I'm looking forward to watching them. But we also need to make sure we win the game. Swansea are going along nicely this season. It's not an easy game. We don't need to lose sight of that.

Results wise they’ve won 2/5 and that was against the 2 Sheffield clubs so unless you’ve watched them I wouldn’t put too much weight in the table positions.

No, but they will be up for it against Prem League opposition, especially on their own Manor

Let's get the game won comfortably before 60 mins. Next 5 games are winnable and should be won. If not there will be alot of unhappy fans imo

When was the last time we went to a lower league club in a cup and just rolled them over?

Blackburn away under Cooper, 4-1 win, just after the World Cup had finished in December 2022

That was also the game where a young Adam Whartons played and you could see then that he was going to be very good

No way would I call this must-win, but for me it’s a, “really, really need to win”.

We need to kickstart this season. Be great for Ange to get his first win before a tough trip to Burnley and the HUGE match vs Betis next week.

A loss, even if it’s only the cup, feels like it would be incredibly damaging.

Come on Forest!!!

This is a good game to get a look at the whole squad. I would like to see the youngsters play and Taiwo. if he is in the squad then f*****g use him.

I think 4-4-2 with Abbott, Boly, Jair, Zinchenko.

Luiz, Yates. Bakwa and Hutchinson.

Why not try jesus and Taiwo up front together. Let's battering ram them.

Of course we will use the new keeper too. Jhon or John Victor. Depending who is talking.

Have the big boys on the bench (apart from Murillo of course) in case they are needed.

This is what i would do but I am not Ange who wants a win. I think this is a decent team and good experience against the muck and nettles of the Championship.

If we aren't using the squad now then are we bothering with it at all?

Chicago: Into Variety.

Edit. I have named the players not where they are playing as I am fully aware than Abbott (or Jair) should be on the right and zinchenko on the left..

Also if we change formations then McAtee plays too.

[ToryTom]

I would start Luiz and Sangare in midfield because I would play Anderson and Yates against Burnley.
