[Parkins left foot]

Seeing as how South West Rail aren't striking this weekend (& that's a novelty) can actually do this in one day.

Now just to cancel the hotel booking taken as backup insurance.

No aberations at the back please this time

That looks our strongest available team to me unless Doc is fit

 

[Kenny]

Doc had an operation last week, so doubt we will see him just yet

 

[Pablowolf]

Were any details released on the op?

 

[Kenny]

Just he had a small operation. Didn't see anything to say what he had done

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Saturday home 3pms since 1 Jan 2018:

Forest
QPR
Burton
Sheff Wed
Southampton
Watford
Bournemouth
Cardiff
Brighton
Fulham

10 in 20 months.

(Swansea in the cup too but that was when cup games were for squares only)

 

[Jinky]

Do we think Nuno will go with Jesus or Saiss?

 

[Langers]

Do we think Nuno will go with Jesus or Saiss?

Yes, probably.

 

[Banjo]

Yes, probably.

:icon_biggrin:

 

[Kenny]

Kilman...

 

[Pablowolf]

Do we think Nuno will go with Jesus or Saiss?

If you need a witness to this continued forum mocking of your intelligence, I'm ready to testify.

 

[The Bear]

Saiss. I'd rather have him up against Mount than Jesus, and also because he's played that LCB role plenty of times for Morocco.

 

[Monstrum]

There is no way saiss starts, he's been playing too well as a midfielder plus backing up any of three players (atleast one of which has to come off sometime) plus rotation for the next game. Ive got my money on jesus, hes been with us a few months, now is the perfect moment to break into the squad. We are really going to miss boly, had been one of our best players before getting that silly second yellow

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

See, you wonder why people get annoyed with you.

You might very well think Vallejo will play. More power to your elbow. Although he's yet to play a minute in the Premier League so it has to be in some doubt. How is there "no way" Saiss will play at centre half, we've used him there plenty of times?

 

[Kenny]

I remember when Saiss played the 3 games when Boly was last suspended, the opinion on him swung quickly

Game 1 - We really need Boly back
Game 2 - Did ok
Game 3 - Boly will struggle to get back in here

A wild ride for the man

 

[Jinky]

Yes, probably.

Boring.

Why would anybody get annoyed with what he's said?

Are you sure it's not just the holier than thou brigade? It's a CB for a CB swap. What's hard to understand about thinking that?

This forums a joke honestly

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Because it's a ridiculously over the top statement, as always.

You know where the door is if you don't like it.

 

[PuntsWolf]

He missed out “IMO”. But other than that not much wrong. It’s monstrum, English isn’t his first language and I don’t get annoyed on a forum so no issues from me.
