Mr Gittes 0 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I see no reason why our regular squad cant stomach a tuesday game, its not like we are competing in any european cups or anything. Id like us to field our strongest side, whats wrong with a lil`cup run? Stoke and Birmingham managed last season ffs. That's a bad point though..... If you reckon their cup triumph is directly to blame, it is. Another way of seeing it is that even a relegation team managed to pull it off. just food for thought. If you put it that way, yes. Sounded like you'd rather win a cup than stay in the league. I really do hope we have a go at it as well, but as someone has mentioned before, it's a tough job for Pardew as far as injuries etc are concerned.

Ollie Burtons Grandad 0 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Thing is we wont win the League Cup but we do have a thin squad containing a number of players who have a habit of getting injured. That being the case surely the 3 points from Blackburn are more important than beating Forest? On the bright side Smith will not be playing due to a hamstring injury (shame its nothing serious) Personally I would rather Pardew played all the non first teamers he can so we can put out a full strength side against Blackburn.

McFaul 35 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 In 50 or so years of following Forest I think this is the first time I have ever felt we have "no chance" before a game. Even in the worst of times I would allow my heart to rule my head...but not today. If we do win I will actually believe the Asian Bookies have been involved. Forest fans confident then.

Barney 0 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Are they worried about the 'former player returning to haunt them' factor? They should be. End off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2204 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Unfancied team, lower league, struggling for form, just lost vs local rivals, manager under pressure, league cup. It's got banana skin written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I shouldn't be negative, I just expect disappointment in the league cup. Have we ever got past the 4th round in the last 20 years?

David Kelly 1219 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 http://www.jarrowandhebburngazette.com/spo...debut_1_3790433 Abeid in the stating line-up apparently. Gosling, Ferguson, Abeid, Ben Arfa, Marveaux? That will be very interesting to see, especially as they are all fairly attacking players. Just a shame they're talking about Guthrie playing as well.

DannyBoyFromOz 0 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Pardew was saying something about wanting to hand Elliot a debut to avoid all the supposed questioning he'd be getting about when he would have a first start, as he foresees a lot of bench time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besty 4 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Rob Fucking Elliot Has Harper been shit canned for good now? Injured I think Not injured. There's some quotes from Pardew (in the Chronicle I think) saying Harps understands Elliott needs a game or some shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 They're clearly trying to piss Harper off in the hope he'll leave for a fee as he still has a couple of years left on his contract. History would suggest they've picked the wrong player to use the tactic of freezing him out of the first team picture on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
