Yep. I really don’t hold out too much hope but let’s see if Amorim can coax a performance out of them for once.

I wish I wasn’t. I’m a Forest fan and would carve off some limbs in exchange for Champions League football next season.

No. Villa are a point ahead of Forest, so if Villa win by any fashion Forest can’t catch them.

Agree. Time to go analogue.

Our best performance for quite some time. The block from Neco summed it up.

I’m more concerned about the £100bn a year Brexit is costing the economy than holidaymakers standing in line for an extra 20 mins.

They’re going to get battered.

I know!
No complaints about Villa because they are levels above those two teams and would probably beat them at any point in the season.
But it’s definitely a great time to play both.

Yep. Good effort and it’s not anyone’s fault necessarily.

While that’s true, it’s hard to see how we recover our form and get favours from elsewhere.

Oh yeah, I don’t doubt the numbers are rock solid. However the table is sorted by players used under 21, which is just one metric.
It’s clear Chelsea have a strategy/spending splurge on young talent and the likes of Everton will need to freshen up this summer and beyond.
I’ll take a look. Ta.

Depends how you sort the data, really. Forest are ranked third for the 22-25 age group.
Approximately half the minutes being played by 25 and under seems healthy. We know that Sels and Wood are older and play a lot of minutes, so will one day need replacing.

WhatsApp channels are a decent alternative. They upload the team to that at the same time as Twitter.

Interesting analysis. I’m sceptical of relying on xG as a metric and have used the penalties example you cite in the article, albeit just as a hunch.
For the first 12 months of his Forest career his fee was derided. Nuno has transformed him. Is there a shot map under Cooper?

Are any Arsenal attackers worth having for the double, or is the Premier League now something they just do to pass the time between Champions League games?

I did well out of the chip however I still wouldn’t want to see it return.
Chips are taking up a quarter of the season now, coupled with the ability to save five transfers (OK), it’s just got too funky.
The original nature of the game was pick a team and make incremental changes.

Good they’re getting him in. The Challenge format and AM chips have both been missteps.

They never stood a chance, if we’re honest, and the next batch will have a similar struggle.
Every other club next season will have had at least three seasons of building a squad with Premier League money.
It’ll take a special effort for someone else to go down.

I expect Forest to return to four at the back v Everton. Home game, Morato toiled as third CB and Moreno will be available again.
Somewhat diminishes Neco’s attacking threat. Milenkovic would be my choice of the three.

He’s got a chance. If you assume Wood and everyone else will be fit, he’s competing with da Silva Moreira and Sosa for the last spot on the bench.

MGW will play I reckon. He ran full pelt to the celebrations on the other side of the pitch.

I would prefer the UK to rejoin but realistically that’s not going to happen for another generation.
In the meantime, the UK should negotiate a much improved, closer relationship with the EU.

The “cold, hard facts about your hard Brexit” is a very good line.
We need more MPs like @munirawilson.bsky.social willing to tell the truth about Brexit so we can begin fixing the litany of problems it’s created.

Looking from the outside, I’d say the likes of Walker and Henderson are short term picks by a manager whose contract runs out next summer. Why should Tuchel care about even the medium term?

The article is a mixture of statistics and wrongly held assumptions.
Also gets wrong the last time Forest played in the European Cup.
comment in response to
post
The article is wrong in saying Forest last played in the European Cup in 1980. We qualified again, as reigning champions, in 1981 but exited early on.
Nice of them to write an article but there are misconceptions around how Wood and the wingers play.

Thanks for talking me out of this epic failure, by the way.

You’re right. He has rested a fair deal in the other competitions.
I’ll most likely just leave him as captain unless we hear other whispers.

Fair.
comment in response to
post
Of course and good arguments. You’re most probably right. Reason why it may be different now is that the league is won and any combination of first team players Slot selects should beat one of the poorest Premier League teams we’ve seen.

What makes you so sure? I know he’s a minutes monster and is chasing all kinds of records.

The game is getting too funky. You pick a team for GW1, have two wildcards, BB, TC, FH and now three weeks of AM.
A quarter of the season is chips.
