Te main battle on Sunday will be won or lost in midfield Sangare Anderson and MGW against Fernandez Caicedo and Palmer on paper Chelsea have the better players so I would add Yates or Dominguez to the mix to break up Palmers runs and his distribution going forward and leave Hudson Odoi on the bench.

23 May 2025 09:58:31
If Sangare plays on Sunday we haven't a chance against their midfield. He's slow, no energy and can't carry the ball. Obviously I have some sympathy as the lad has had malaria and the effects can last for months. Yates for me. Hudson-Odoi is our best technical player and can manipulate the ball in most situations and will have a point to prove against Chelsea. So if he's 100% fit must play. Give Morato and Danilo the day off. Tense game but we have to take it to them.

23 May 2025 10:27:52
If definately start CHO. 9 of our team should be guaranteed starters if fit, so in a 4231 the selection dilemma is 4 players for 2 in central midfield. The 4 contenders are Sanghere ( playing very well lately ) Dominquez ( incredible work rate) Anderson ( energy, strength and skill, a great signing ) and Yates ( the least skilful of the 4 technically but the heartbeat of the team).
Personally i'd have Anderson and Yates ( harsh on the other 2 I know). Chelsea are a hugely talented ( and expensive ) team but young with disciplinary problems all season. They had 6 booked in their game against us, a very feisty affair. They are rightly missing Jackson. because of his unnecessary elbow to an opponents face. This will be even more edgy with what’s at stake. Yates will wind them up, provoke them and should also be delegated to shackle their brilliant playmaker Palmer. Everything comes through him. Stop Palmer and stifle their attacking full backs and wingers and the game is ours comrades.
Easier said than done. In Nuno we trust. It’s going to be a humdinger.
Personally, I’m not one of those glued to the progress of the other matches but I guess any goals scored elsewhere will invariably be made known by the crowd………. if I were Nuno I’d be telling the lads to focus on beating Chelsea then see where we are!
Coyr!

23 May 2025 10:30:26
I agree RHR. For a start Yates must play to man mark Palmer. Of course alongside Anderson and I agree if HO fit he must play. To be fair to Sangare he has been picked on merit and has begun to show why we paid a lot of dosh for him. This match is a crunch for Nuno. By that I mean he has to out wit his Chelsea counterpart. We have the players that can beat Chelsea, so he has the nouse to pick them, I hope.
The atmosphere will be electric for many reasons, all of which should inspire those wearing Garibaldi Red.
No more so than our own Yatesy who will get those who can swim, diving into the Trent.

23 May 2025 11:58:28
He doesn't start Yates maybe uses him second half occasionally.
As Danny Murphy observed on MOTD Nuno has a diamond midfield that works well, but Cole Palmer can be left free and there lies the problem. Dominguez might be a key player in this fixture.

22 May 2025 20:54:22
Ok then who's your player of season ? Pointless the polls, fans just cheat. Wanna see those fingers. Sels by country mile for me. Man up and get off the fence.

22 May 2025 21:09:58
Sels Mate.

22 May 2025 21:28:06
Sels for me Bowie. He’s probably saved us at least 20 points this season on his own mate. Seems to make a world class save every game. Consistent, athletic, reflexes, reading the game, positioning, he’s got everything. And all for £4 million? Come on, that’s just crazy!

22 May 2025 21:34:42
Got to be sels, so many point saving saves.

22 May 2025 21:54:21
So very close to call this Bowie and I totally get your vote for Sels - the guy has been immense for us. TBH I've changed my mind on numerous occasions as the season has progressed!
-
But now, looking back on the whole season - I'd say Elanga. He has been the constant attacking threat to our opponents throughout the season.

22 May 2025 22:09:07
At the risk of my brain cell mis-functioning again I'd also like to say that, irrespective of the player of the season, I have loved the way Forest have played football this season. Confidence without the ball, a strong defensive structure - and then wham-bang thank you mam. Ball in the back of their net via speed and guile on the counter-attack.

We've had a great season Reds.

22 May 2025 22:27:44
Wood.

22 May 2025 22:57:57
Suprised gazz you being an ex keeper. Wood for me was absolutely brilliant. But latter after his injury. didn't get the vote.

23 May 2025 02:02:04
I'll stick with seals, but it was a close call between him and Aina. you couldn't help but notice the dip in form from the team when he got injured. Had he stayed fit Sunday's game wouldn't be so important as I think we would have already qualified for the cl.

23 May 2025 03:09:16
Milenkovic.

23 May 2025 05:36:25
Aina has saved us six points from his goal line clearensas, in fact we have one of the best with 10?, Murillo, Toffalo all helping to keep them clean sheets, for three quarters of the season the defence was superb.

23 May 2025 07:59:54
1.Sels
2.Williams
3.Wood.

23 May 2025 08:15:49
The big Serb for me he helped make Sels even better and fully understand anyone picking Sels, Merillo or Aina but Melenkavic made them better player's just my opinion.

23 May 2025 09:51:07
Sels for me. Followed by Aina, Milenkovic or Murrillo. Anderson young player of the year 🙂.

22 May 2025 20:34:56

Hudson odoi n elanga both to start for me.

22 May 2025 20:55:00
Extremely harsh not even having Domingues on the bench!
Been one of our best performers recently.

22 May 2025 23:27:41
He never starts Yates. Mystery.

23 May 2025 05:41:37
Unfortunately I see Yates becoming more of a fringe player getting less game time, this season's more battling results against some teams, Yates was playing, will even be captain next season?.

22 May 2025 09:23:15
United need to pick themselves up and beat Villa for us on Sunday!

If those players have any pride at all they will play to win in front of their own fans

Just as an aside how either of those 2 sides get into Champions League next season is a travesty.

22 May 2025 12:12:07
Cant see Man UTD winning Sunday, there coach has said he wants a clear out so most players not feeling wanted.

Now Villa on the other hand, playing for champions league and playing for their future shirts.

I know where my fivers going.

22 May 2025 13:38:31
Note ; Notts County sack Maynard because of a poor 8 game sequence upto the playoffs.

22 May 2025 14:22:55
The dark arts will be alive and well at old Trafford on Sunday, I think villa will win probably by a dodgy var balls up that can't be questioned. Even with Taylor in charge of us the establishment need a plan B should we pull it off. Really hope I'm wrong and if I am I'll be the first on here to say I called it wrong.

23 May 2025 03:13:03
I know where my fiver's going. On a drink for me!

21 May 2025 18:57:28
What I hate about lazy journalism.
1= DTP off to Saudi to grow cacti.
2= balloons banned from premier league for being honest. Left the line with the FA ( while my guitar gently weeps)
3= skegs caught with numerous new players winding through the windmills of skegness, on a boat of kiss my arse hats and butlins till I die shirts.
4= lego signing for jester in goal.
5= redhotred with his own press conference from sky, Jeff stelling had nowt on me. I went solo.
6= winter telling the country file, how nottingham forest would benefit chopping down everything around the stadium, and national trust ensure more birds shi##ing on opposition.
7= jester advert, showing the Irish how 0% Guinness helps with anxiety and surfing the north sea. with knitted swimming trunks and small nob.
8= stokey, which his new book, backed bye penguin. (All about one liners) went far.
9= bowie, how I went from drinking vodka on Fridays, to how I came off it 6 hours. Massive influencer on YouTube.
10= munmad = new book how I got psychos wife to pick the right amount of team.
Tell ya just doesn't make sense. 🫢.

21 May 2025 20:52:43
Kiss my ass you Geordie byker grove ant and Dec Friday night vodka swilling 20 bellies lover 🤣🤣🤣.

21 May 2025 21:06:09
🤣🤣🤣 ask me one on sport skegs.

21 May 2025 23:18:12
Doing a survey on the Tyne next week, I'll make sure to send those pooping birds your way Mr Bowie
💩🦆🦆💩 🤣🌳.

22 May 2025 06:59:14
I'm actually working on the tyne winter. Pop in.

22 May 2025 11:54:01
I resent the knitted swimming trunks I only use Speedo 🤡🤡🤡.

22 May 2025 18:04:09
As skegs said, great to see ya back my friend.

22 May 2025 18:15:08
Shhh - I'm supposed not to be on here whilst my brain cell re-boots. However, I have to say that I belly-laughed at this post Bowie!

Superb mate. FYI, my contract negotiations with fester for their goalkeeping role are ongoing. If we can reach a compromise on a deal, that'll really screw them!

22 May 2025 18:52:46
🤣🤣🤣 proud of ya lego.

22 May 2025 20:50:49
All just banter.

21 May 2025 15:28:10

Thanks for the info Red, I would love to know what that computer jargon means mate.
I'm off t'pub to watch it. Much easier to understand.

21 May 2025 18:25:46
I'm off for my gonaorrhoea jabs. Makes more sense.

21 May 2025 18:42:29
🤣🤣Bowie i just saw that on the news🤣🤣, apparently you need a Rhino size jab living in Hartlepool 🤣🤣.

21 May 2025 18:50:53
Stood in the queue at a music festival here last summer for the bog, woman in front of me (obviously local by the accent) turns to me and says "don't sit on the seat, STI centre this" 🤣🤣🤣🌳.

21 May 2025 12:50:34
Sels and Milenkovic in Gary Neville's team of the season and Milenkovic and Gibbs-White in Carragher's on Sky Sports Monday night football. Also, Nuno Gary Neville's manager of the season - they were very complementary and acknowledged everything Forest have done this season. Chris Wood was the only Forest player in Sky Sports team of the season which is based purely on their stats. We were given some great recognition.

21 May 2025 13:46:27
Talksport (McCoist and Stelling) had 4 players in the team of the season.

Sels, Aina, Milenkovic and Wood.

At the start of the season. Jeff Stel.

21 May 2025 13:47:25
I watched it all RHR, they were very complementary about us, probably Neville trying to get himself unbanned from the City Ground next season 🤣🌳.

21 May 2025 13:48:22
Jeff Stelling said at start of the season. That Sels was the worst goalkeeper in the premiership.

Fair play to him for putting his hands up and admitting how wrong he was.

21 May 2025 14:03:39
What no place for Neco🤷.
It's good that the Forest team gets some plaudits from the same people who had us going down!.
