Not entirely sure this is a positive for us based on performances so far.

Excellent thread title Russ.
Agreed, not sure Mason being out is good for us. I think they're going to change formation.
-
It's a shit lazy vanilla title that required no thought.
I will be starting another one just to be disrespectful. It's the Talkback way..
Chicago: Drawing the battle lines... .
-
They will keep the shape but play Ericson. I'd go 4 3 3 and have Yates fuck up Ericson and Gibbs White run at Casemiro. Still think we will lose though. 1 - 2. They will be to us as Forest were to Liverpool.
By sheer bad planning I will not be in Manchester on the day. -
Please don’t caps lock it. It makes my eyes burn.
-
So the truth comes out. Size matters after all. I figured Shady the dozy cnut would actually see it if it's larger but clearly that is not the case.
Erickson will tear us a new arsehole unless someone gets on him. Certainly a more effective player for Spam Utd than Mason Mounty.
Rashford on the left scares me. Don't be down on Serge not many people can slow Marcus down.. (with the possible exception of Anthony Elanga?)
Chicago: Prepping.
-
I think I've seen the cracks start to appear in Erickson. I hope Rashford starts centrally. Big blow that Mount is out.
We definitely can get something out of this. Not saying that we will.
-
I went to 3 of the 4 United games last year and we got destroyed in them all.
-
They're miles ahead of us, but a team and a squad still in transition. By all accounts, Wolves gave them a good game at Old Trafford on opening weekend and that probably 'shouldn't have happened'.
Thing about the United game is that we're not supposed to get anything from it, so the pressure is on the home side. Friday's win over Sheffield takes the heat off Forest. It's OK to lose this one and still the most likely outcome, but, as Tricky said, we have the players to land a couple of blows if we go there and don't shit the bed with the occasion, etc. That's what makes it interesting.
-
Lost 10 in a row against Manu, since we drew in 1995. Aggregate score of 3-36.
So, we're due something.
-
making it 4-40?
-
Luke Shaw also out injured. That's rather more helpful to us, I don't know who his replacement is but he definitely isn't Luke Shaw good.
-
is this confirmed? I'll need to update my FF team.
-
Johnson, Gibbs-White and Awoniyi away from home. That's bold/foolish.
-
Mangala not even in the squad.
Sick or injured?
Chicago: Concerned.
