If we concede early I suspect we could be thumped.
My concern is that we will press for an unliklely goal with a high line and get smoked by transition kings. Alas I see this game as a loss, and on the basis of what we saw in our last 2 games would settle for a draw.
Alas, I suspect you are far from alone in this fearQuote:

Don’t know about being thumped. I think if Forest take the lead they will be content to hold on to what they haveQuote:

We haven't been thumped all season. If we go behind it's hard to see us coming back, but I agree I doubt we will concede many,Quote:

I think you'll be proven right. This team buckles under pressure, and since almost everyone thinks they are losers now, they'll start performing.Quote:

Jorginho in for Partey (who is on the bench) :unsure:
Good move. Provided Rice and Odegard are constantly shouting, "Any time will do mate!" But he'll move things along quicker than our sedentary number 5.Quote:

A crucial factor these days. Should be okay here, unless Oliver starts taking pot shots from the seats.
