Tough game this one, if we get anything from it, I will be very happy. I think I would go for a more defensive wing-back in Elder, move KPL up alongside either Magennis or Tyler Smith and rest Wilk's. Maybe rest Smallwood and bring Tom H in for this one, we need someone who can help keep possession.
At last a proper MDT, with all the info & effort we need, & not a cheap imitation awash with match day facts & figures. The more stats in the opening post the more likely it will attract boring old farts with a repetitive bag of chips on their shoulder about the HDM. (Select the HCAFC tab you SOC) …FACTAFUCKINGMONDO City 3 nowt.
There's no way Smallwood should be rested nor any need. He's been playing well and is defensively better than Tom. The midfield is working well and I can't see a reason to change that. Bringing Tyler Smith in would make sense, he got 2 for the 23s and definitely offers something different.
Forest matchday thread makes interesting viewing....'Come on the reds' is the cry. https://www.forestforum.co.uk/threa...Vs-Hull-City?p=3470975&viewfull=1#post3470975
So, remember, stay safe by getting there early, with all appropriate documentation, then huddle together in the concourse for reduced price drinks. There's sensible. Forest are encouraging fans to arrive early, to allow for extra time to accommodate the additional checks required, with turnstiles set to open at 1.30pm. The club have also reduced the prices of refreshments to encourage early arrival. https://www.nottinghampost.com/spor...7rFTdGSMPP40lyTsjjMhZ4MBMo0f55KFzIDZC5WnUcIE4
I have absolutely no idea what this means in detail, but I thought I'd post this comment from the Forrest board in case it meant anything to others. "For expat fans, game is replacing postponed Coventry v Stoke 15-00 ko for worldwide coverage."
It could have an effect on me seeing the game, usually, if it is being on worldwide coverage, then ifollow don't show it. I know it is on TV now in Norway, as a fan has posted on Twitter as much. I hope with it being a late change then it may still be shown.
Was at Nottingham Forest v Hull City, 13 Mar 1973 2:1 to City goals from Phil Holme and (I think) Stewart Pearson Rearranged fixture after first was cancelled due to fog.
Is that the same place as Shottingham? Never seen City not win there. Not going today ! Radio Nottingham on freeview for full match commentary. Come on City.
In Aus. we get the early kickoff game and another later match. Notts v Hull City now scheduled instead of the Coventry v Stoke match. First time a Hull City match has been shown in ages.
