Pre-season 2026

Forest are offering a pre-season bundle of 6 games (2 of them 45 minutes only) for 19.99 (fiver off for season card holders or MyForest members).
5.99 individually otherwise.
I might've paid a couple of quid tomorrow morning for the Blackburn game, but 6 quid? Or the whole bundle?
Hmm.
Oh fuck it. I'm on board the gros rot Glasnerbahn. It might not be totally shit. Saturday wasn't.

Dominguez for Hutchinson from Saturday's first half team. OH not on the bench either but I guess we're in a take no risks scenario.

Is Murillo injured? I can't see him in the training videos either.

He's in Portugal. Glasner has mentioned him as not being in full training, like CHO but sounds like back for the start of the season. Those 5 minutes at Villa look incredibly stupid now.

I'd forgotten that Ribeiro was at Blackburn these days.

Jesus is played in by Dominguez but doesn't get a shot away.
A couple of minutes later he hits the post.

Sabri era, so must have played with Yates.

Sels tips a decent effort round the post.
A mistake lets Jesus in but his first touch is heavy and goes through to the keeper.

Woot!
Cunha storms into the box, the ball runs loose, MGW has a shot blocked and Jesus slots home the rebound.

HT 1-0.
Lots of possession, not much cutting edge, but the intensity is lower than Saturday and Blackburn are more solid at the back than Counteh.
The only time Forest have looked in trouble is when they've turned it over playing out from the back.
Someone - presumably Glasner - is doing a LOT of shouting. Mainly at Ola. Unless he's just enthusiastically saying hello to people.

11 changes again. Same as Saturday, but with Owusu instead of Dominguez.
Netz immediately plays Taiwo in, but his touch is heavy (pre-seasony, says the commentator, slightly generously) and a defender clears for a corner.

Woot!
A quick throw in finds Taiwo in acres of space. He squares it to Kalimuendo who buries it.

Woot!
Kalimuendo switches play to Moreira down the right with Blackburn's defence AWOL. Moreira rolls it across and Taiwo slots it home.

Full time. Fuck all happened after the 3rd goal bar a comfortable 88th minute save by Victor.
Forest looked like they couldn't be arsed going up a gear. Blackburn had nothing to offer.

What's all this about scoring goals in pre season - I didn't think that was a thing

If it didn't matter last season when we didn't score, it presumably doesn't matter this season that we have.
