Forest vs Arsenal 30.01.2024 - The City Ground - Ko 19:30

[HCZ_Reborn]

The game in May was an utter fuck face. Not looking forward to this, we don’t like travelling to play in the midlands against teams like these. They’ve won three times in a row against us here in all competitions (fa cup and league).

1-0 - Awoniyi (he’s back from ACON)

[Marc Overmars]

Hoping the time off this month has given us a chance to reset but yeah this is a fixture that’s been a bit of a ball ache in recent times and I wouldn’t really be shocked if we messed it up again.

3 - 0 Wood hatter

Turner to have a blinder

[HCZ_Reborn]

Turner to have a blinder

They really need to ban those laser pens

[HCZ_Reborn]

Forest not especially great at holding onto leads

At home they lost to Brighton and Bournemouth despite scoring first as well as Luton coming back from two nil down to get a draw.

[HCZ_Reborn]

I expect the lineup to be similar to the one against Palace, Partey hasn’t travelled up to Forest so with possible exception of Jorginho starting instead of Havertz and Elneny possibly on the bench…think things will largely be the same for us

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[radford78]

Great to see Smith-Rowe in the starting line-up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Was good to see Odegaard shoot a while ago, alright it was blocked but the opportunity was there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smith Rowe shot, over.

[Marc Overmars]

Well on top but nothing much in the final third. Shocker.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Danilo shot but over it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka shot, deflects behind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. Bit slow tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Saliba.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Turner saves from Saka!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It wasn't a shot from Saka really. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus hits the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

JESUS!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Flag stays down" - Darren Fletcher. :haha:

It was from a throw-in FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smith Rowe off, Havertz on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SAKA!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus off, I have no idea for.

Martinelli off, Trossard on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah Nketiah on for Jesus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Awoniyi. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Odegaard off, Jorginho on. Zinchenko off, Kiwior on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 FT. :bow:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Oh well. Not an easy place for us to go, got the three points we needed.

[Marc Overmars]

Good win.

Could haul ourselves back into contention if we beat Liverpool this weekend.

[fakeyank]

Good win.

Could haul ourselves back into contention if we beat Liverpool this weekend.

We probably will win just to lift our spirits and then fuck it all up around April

[Letters]

We probably will win just to lift our spirits and then fuck it all up around April

:lol:

I don't think we can win the league, but a win against Liverpool would certainly lift spirits.
Good win last night.

[Mac76]

Agreed on LIverpool

I was out and I've ony seen highights from last night but it looks like Awonyi shoudl have levelled it, so maybe a bit of a let-off of sorts - still a win is a win :good:
