Never thought I would be saying this during this season, but we need T - we have no-one else. We can not continue with Jesus as main striker as just never going to happen - lets hope we can save us again

In T we must trust......!!!
All aboard the Big T train!
Choo-chooooo!!!!

I'm now relying on Taiwo to help us win this game.
He will find the magic touch.

Oh, don't worry so much. T will see us right.

I wonder how many Taiwo would have scored if given Jesus's minutes this season. Though obviously he couldn't have played those minutes without getting injured several times, so I guess its a moot point.

It would be a fantastic story if Taiwo rolled back the years and again fired us to safety -- not just at a football level but at a human one. He's had such a rough time with injuries that I never thought we see him start another game for Forest.
Like all fantastic stories, though, it's very hard to believe. But we're getting desperate to believe that someone can score goals. We have Jesus, so we can pray for the Resurrection Man?

It's perhaps ironic that Big T believes in Jesus more than most of us.

Judging by T's celebrations he believes in Jesus more than Jesus himself does.

If big T keeps us up so will I.

Jesus has his qualities, but I believe T is the answer to more goals by now and the end of the season. Play Jesus in EL and T in PL.

Jesus can play against Midgetland, Taiwo will be fresh for Fulham.

I do agree
I really like Jesus, but he is not providing the killer instinct we need despite a good game today.
We have nothing to lose throwing T in there, he has made several good cameos now.

While I think Taiwo should start against Fulham let’s not overlook it was Igor who set up MGWs goal tonight

And on Sunday.

I wouldn't mind seeing how both MGW and Jesus behind Tiawo works. Our wingers are not creating much anyway so 3 at the back with Aina and Williams as wingbacks and box midfield of Sangare, Anderson, MGW and Jesus, with Awoniyi up front.

I like Jesus but Domínguez is a better fit. Would try Jesus in the postion as a sub but not to start. Agree that Big T needs to start games now. Lets hope this result can kick start something, need those wins now.

I like that. Been saying most of the season Igor ought to be played as a number 10. Alongside MGW and behind Taiwo could be devastating.

I am not sure any of Jesus qualities translate to playing as a number 10. His main strength is playing with his back to goal and hold up play whilst being decent in the air.
I do think Taiwo needs to be starting up front for a bit though.
