    Assume he’ll play in a mask.

    Will we be able to tell the difference, or will it just look like one of his extraordinary expressions?

    It's not like he was ever going to have a modeling career to ruin anyway.

    For some I reckon MGW would look fantastic modelling zoot suits.

    BTW, how did Morato play -- still doing his redemption arc justice? I guess he was senior defender.

    He was outstanding. It's remarkable. Back to his best when he would make those 10 min cameos under Nuno to see a game out, only for 95 mins

    All elements of the defence were good. Looked pretty balanced as a centre half pair.

    Chelski were abject though, so hard to tell how that might work going forward.

    Though earlier:

    "Radio Nottingham just said the fourth official has spoken to both benches to let them know they were concussion substitutions, therefore both sides still have another."

    Fray definitely said this. Not sure how he knew, unless David Jackson was pitchside and witnessed it (or thought he did).

    Manager was clear in his interview afterwards, however, that concussion was not an issue.

    MGW strikes me more as a nails Christian Edwards bandage kind of guy than a Yohan Benalouane shit superhero mask.

    Think the fourth official was referring to both Abbott and the Chelski youngster being concusion subs rather than MGW.

    Particularly well, especially considering his early (harsh- ish) booking

    Five Live currently discussing the relegation fight and talking a healthy amount of bollocks. Apparently, West Ham were the form side going into this weekend's games - Forest not mentioned at all in this regard.

    Us and Leeds appear still to be in the wider conversation, which seems odd. Surely, it's a straight fight now between the two London clubs?

    It's Forest. It's very conceivable we lose our next 3. Though even I think it unlikely West Ham overhaul our points difference now.

    So is everyone agreed, we go balls out with the strongest side plus subs on Thursday, and assess after that?

    I'm in. Honestly I'd have gone full strength today and every game for the rest of the season and just prayed they can make it.

    If MGW was a concussion sub it's 6 days. Fuck fuck.

    Only allowed one per game aren't you so it wasn't?
