Thanks ak. Like you Mex I have no idea what to expect. Hope all the players who have been away are still fit for a start and not worn out by the travelling. It is all well and good having so many internationals, but they seem to lose something whenever they go away. Already sold more than 1000 tickets, with pay on the gate there should be some good support for the team.
I don't know what to expect except it'll be expensive! I'm visiting my daughter at the uni and she tells me she has a 'must have' shopping list... Oh dear! I'm going for a 1-3 coz I'm ever the optimist! Thanks for the thread Ak! Fab job as always.
i think we will get about 82 pts so i have this one down as a 2-1 win to us as troy will come off the bench to score the winner
Forest losing 2-0 at half time puts us second in the table. I will quite happy if it stays that way and we can get something as tomorrow I will be out to dinner with my Forest mate and really want bragging rights.
We're at home to them Tuesday night and Lansbury misses it due to suspension - he's just picked up his 5th booking of the season.

Don't know if it will work but they seem hopeful. http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?matchid=287333&part=sports
