Pre-Season 2025

It was a bit of a mixed bag.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024%E2%80%9325_Nottingham_Forest_F.C._season

If we're doing comparisons, it was 11 'points', 10 goals for, 6 against, across 6 games.

Currently we're 3 'points', 1 goal for, 3 against, from 4 games.

Hard to really judge anything from much of that. Bar, as I've said, I'm concerned we're looking a bit blunt. Even despite the line ups I'd feel better if we'd scored a goal or two against Chesterfield and Estoril.

Hopefully we save them up and smash Brentford for 3-4 to nil.

V Brum

Sels, Morato, Murillo, Milo, Cunha, CHO, Anderson, MGW, Sangare, Ndoye, Jesus.

No idea how that lines up with 4 CBs and no wing backs.

Moreira on the bench, but no sign of Aina...

Presume Cunha RB, Morato LB.

Have we heard anything on Aina and Williams? They must surely be injured.

Williams is on the bench.

Kick off delayed 15 minutes.

Aina played last Saturday and he's been really prominent in all the stuff from Portugal. You'd think the level of injury to pull someone from a friendly is way lower than a competitive game.

15 minute silence for Ozzy?

It would be an interesting move to supplant 'Trevor Francis Day' with that.

And was named as a sub on Wednesday (although didn't come on) so it can't be too bad, you'd think.

Good good.

Wasn’t Richards named as a sub, and didn’t come on, when we were trying to hide the fact he had a broken leg?

Damn it, Simon - I'd just cheered Jim up!

"Minor knock" according to paul taylor

You are correct according to the EE Po's Sarah Clapson - who is doing the text commentary.

Goal for Brum. Forest yet to have a shot.
