Match Thread Nottingham Forest v Everton - Team prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

[hallamblue]

Forest tend to have 2 ways of scoring. One is wait for the other team to attack and then score on the fast break. The other is old school put it in the mixer. So very similar to us. This will be a tight game if we play ok. I can see a draw as both teams need to avoid defeat

I think the problem with the whole "we will be fine even with -10" is that our threadbare squad is starting to show now. We've only got injuries to two important players, but with both wingers out of form as well, suddenly we don't look like much of a prospect. The bench will look very bad tomorrow.

That being said I think we have every chance of winning this game; it's the rest of the month that I'm concerned about.

Duncan Ferguson scores Everton’s third goal in the 60th minute of this Premier League match against Nottingham Forest converting a cross and assist by Andre Kanchelskis.

Get Beto on so he can turf up their defence and bumble through some chances for the boys

he's not, dyche confirmed this

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Without Onana I could see us losing this one. Garner and Gana are just not a solid enough two in the middle and that rubs off on the McNeil's and Harrison's of the world who spend more time in midfield/defending - which then makes us slower on the break. We urgently need to shore up that midfield or switch back to a 3. That said we dont really have anyone to put in a 3.
Not a great time to be a Blue is it?

I think similar to DCL last year, Dyche is going to want to make sure Onana is fully over this calf issue - he's not going to rush him back again. Especially after he aggravated the injury last time out

 

[blue in oxford]

DCL will be the biggest miss if he doesnt make it

 

[The Binman]

I'm sure we will bottle it again, under the pressure...

 

[hippopotamus]

Comfortable 1-1

Think its the perfect game for Beto to get off the mark
