Leauge Cup R3 - Swansea

We could have them play men's football by letting league clubs develop them in their teams rather than stockpiling kids in Premier League academies as a cash cow for already excessively wealthy clubs.

Yates, McAtee, Hutchinson and the new keeper Victor all feature in the Forest pre-match build up on the socials.

You aren't going to see it this way because it offends your principles, but, by concentrating the best young players in the best academies, they get better coaching and become better footballers. But once they get to 19 or 20, they need to play proper football. Putting them in the lower league cup isn't much of a solution, the loan market is probably better.

Possibly both. But if I wanted to gee up the players tonight, I’d get them to read that.

I think the academy system does give that improvement at the very top level, but the vast majority of its activities are exploitative of a mass, vulnerable population for the development of a very small population and the gain of a smaller select group of clubs. I don't think it's worth it.

So... Forest is a normal non-Big 6 football club that he watched for the first time ever last week, and because we got well beaten by one of the best sides in the country, we are there for the taking?
Cool.
I'd like us to win by 4 now, ta.

The references to a Brazilian left back and Belgian midfielder made me wonder.

To be fair, Morato played left back on Saturday until Murillo got injured. The only recent Belgian midfielder that I can think of is Mangala. That kind of weird mistake was one of the things that made me think AI because the description as a whole fits our 22/23 team better.

I went back to the top to see when the article was written as the Belgian reference made no sense.

I thought I was just forgetting someone given how many players we have.

As expected, a complete change of players. Morato the only starter on Saturday and tonight.

MGW and Ndoye are the only players selected who featured for their national teams during the last break, both are on the bench.

Swansea rub their hands hearing we’ve changed ten players, then see Douglas Luiz, Zinchenko, Hutchinson and McAtee in the team.

Swansea rub their hands together at the prospect of facing a bunch of players who haven't played together before?
Anyway, I'm torn between a routine no frills 2-0 win and yet another night throwing ourselves at the mercy of The Penalty Gods.

I presumed Morato and that because Sangaré has a French name and was signed from a Dutch team that he just went "near enough".
Unless he meant free agent Renan Lodi and Mangala, but that really wouldn't fit.

Anyway, is Kalimuendo the second* coming of Darcheville?

*Or first coming, given the damp squib of his Forest career

Lodi and Mangala were out Brazilian and Belgy. Clearly the twat/or A.I. lives in the past and isn't updated which makes Skynet a few years from now rather than in the next few months. Daft write up. Doesn't really make sense. I hope the Forest fans just to be faceious sing all night about Europe...

I think Darcheville was great until his wife was killed in a car crash i believe.

Anyway, decent line up. Taiwo on the bench as well as Kalimuendo. Looking forward to see Bakwa and Jesus playing together strangely. As you know, I will love Taiwo to come on in the second half and kill it with a massive performance. Why? Because I am a romantic. Would be disappointed if Ange ignored him already. especially when the old cobber is meant to be a man manager.

Would have liked Abbott and Cunha play today but I guess Morato is cover for Murillo and they want him ready against Bumley.

Chicago: Not entirely disappointed.
