I think Forest will have learned their lesson from boxing day and won't be looking to make the same mistakes again. having said that I can see a massive improvement in the team and they will still be a stern test for FGR. I'm not sure of a draw let alone a win. But a good battling performance with the supporters seeing us try our best will be enough for all of us and if we can pull the rabbit out of the hat and even get a point or maybe even 3. would be the icing on the Christmas cake for me. and I suspect a lot of our supporters. Just a shame there are no pubs within easy walking distance of me to see it on TV

We're doing well so far, it's the right kind of conditions for an upset.

Doing ok - holding our own against a side at the right end of the table.

Added in 18 minutes 26 seconds:
Think we go in at half time the happier of the two sides.
More of the same please in the second half.

Has every other halfway decent player we've got, got themselves injured?

Post by **Scott Brehaut** » 01 Jan 2016, 18:36

Great ball in, Wright attacked it and it fell at the feet of Verma who stretched and poked it in!
