Forest v Luton, October 21st 3pm

Montiel subbed after half an hour for Argentina, so guessing he's out on Saturday.

I can offer to a few mates if you want me to?

I shifted it now but cheers.

But but I was booking my flight ticket….

Chicago: Wah!

I can see this being an endlessly frustrating match; think Sheffield United under Warnock.

Luton will come and try to kill the match. We struggle to break teams down, especially at home and I think it'll be tight.

I'd love to proved wrong however; it's something we're working on, and some of the play against Palace was a big step in the right direction. At some point this team will click and we'll be able to dominate and score. But, recent home games against easier opposition have seen us dominate the first fifteen minutes, fail to score, and then let the opposition get into the match.

If we can score early then we can win comfortably. Otherwise, a scrappy game awaits

A comfortable 4-0 and we finally click. Talk of Europe for next season.

(Followed by a 2-0 loss at Liverpool - Cooper out!)

If we can make early dominance pay, then possible. However, we may struggle if Taiwo is out as we have a lack of goals elsewhere in the team.

We need to work out how we manage to score while on top, the last two home games we've had really good spells early on and not managed to get the goal we've needed to control the rest of the game.

Origi for this one hopefully (if Taiwo's out)

I also think it'll be a tight game, but expect a narrow victory. 2-1. Wouldn't be surprised to see Origi start it Taiwo isn't ready.

From what read of Cooper’s press conference, it seems we have four injured full backs. Williams or Niakhate with Toff on Saturday then.

Strongly don't recommend this, I only lasted about 10 minutes:

Firstly they are dull as hell. Secondly repeatedly referring to us as Notts Forest. Third - repeated "hilarous" references to the number of players we've signed.

But they do think we are in the same mini-league as them and they should be targetting us for points.

They're not entirely wrong, they should be at least hoping for a point from away games like this and we haven't yet proven ourselves to be a level up from the relegation battle. We're all largely in agreement that we should be but we have to actually do it, in large part by dispatching teams like Luton.

He's also very pleased with the observation that Mull of Kintyre is a Christmas song. Christmas number 1, but released in November and nothing I can think of lyrically or musically that would make it a Christmas song. Unless he thinks the "Mull" is related to mulled wine?
