Re: Nottingham Forest v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Think I'd rather be playing Chelsea or Liverpool today instead of this lot.

Re: Nottingham Forest v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Firpo will not start. He will play Ayling at CB rather than starting Firpo. But famous last words and all that. Much depends on the fitness of Cooper.BlackHillsPaul wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 10:46 pm I think we will absolutely see McKennie in the starting eleven tomorrow. I think we come out in a pressing 4-3-3 that features greater positional play. Which means more width. Giorginio, Harrison, and Sinisterra first off the bench.

Re: Nottingham Forest v Leeds Utd Match Thread
I have an inkling that Rutter will start, Summerville just back from injury is unlikely. The fact JM named checked him in his pre match pressie along with McKennie suggests they will both start IMO. Aaronson or Roca is a decision that could go either way. Depends how he is going to set up.Carrick Dave wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 11:08 am I’d have Rutter on instead of Roca from the off, or bring him on early if things are going against us.

Defensively more solid (especially with our narrow penisball).
Extra cover behind the wing backs with Adams or Mckennie able to drop in if needed.
More freedom for our Defensively poor wing backs.
Allows the wide players to tuck in as Jesse likes.
Makes sense to me.
Leeds need a great summer 2026 with outgoings and incoming players

Re: Nottingham Forest v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Right CB is between Ayling and Wober. It is a decision that could go either way. Rasmus is also a potential but less likely. If Cooper plays he will be more likely to play LCB. That means Wober is either LB or RCB.
Much depends on Coopers fitness as to how the defence looks. Not a huge amount of permutations but Cooper’s inclusion makes it more straightforward.

Pressure is really on today and whoever Marsch goes with on the starting line up, so be it. The litmus test for him will be the use and timing of his subs.
That will demand more of him and show if he really has the ability to steer us out trouble this season. He hasn’t been great to date and it has cost us.

I said Mckennie wouldn't start.

Pretty much what I predicted although I though he would go with Rutter over Sinisterra

Re: Nottingham Forest v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Ayling at RB is a concern, I'd have gone with Kristensen, but he's about on a par with Ayling, and even clumsier.
We only have Koch as our RCB so expected Wober in that position. I suppose Struijk was appalling the last time he played at LCB, that's why he's gone for Cooper with Struijk at LB
I'd have played: Kristensen, Wober, Struijk and Firpo. Shows how lacking we still are in defence.
McKennie should start ahead of Roca. Him and Rutter will be on at 60 minutes, but maybe before if things turn to s**t.

Re: Nottingham Forest v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Its not a 'must win' game. Not sure why people keep saying it. Were only half way through the season for christ sake. Might sound dramatic but its just hyperbole. I think a point would be a decent return myself.
