Matchday 32 - Rotherham vs Nottingham Forest

[Strummer]

What has that got to do with wrestling?

You wouldn’t want to wrestle Roy Keane, is - I think - the point here?

When I filled in the Forever Forest challenge a few weeks ago I put this down as a 3-0 Forest win. Not very likely to happen considering my other 3 'not-so-Brilliant' predictions (win 1-0 from Bournemouth & 2-0 from Blackburn, and a 1-1 draw with Swansea)!!

COYR, I would even be happy with their keeper playing a blinder meaning we only win 1-0 but with good play...

[Hughton,we have a problem]

Think Rotherham will sneak this one nil

Great film that!
I must watch it again this week.

Another tough physical battle, but we had one of those against Blackburn and came through alright. We're not so easy to bully anymore -- which is one reason why our record this season against the lower teams is pretty good.
The concern, as always, is whether we can score. Murray is our best striker, which is a worry as he really ought to be a useful option rather than a necessity.
But if somebody comes up with the goods, we'll see this one out. 0-1 to the Garibaldi.

[Trents]

Murray to start this one. His smarts in the physical battles should draw a few free kicks in dangerous positions. I'd also stick with Mighten on the left wing although expect Freeman back in tonight.

It's a tricky game this and could easily go wrong. Not sure where Rotherham stand in the current form guide but they seem to have had some decent results recently and stuffed Derby here 3 0 last week.

Take this lightly and we'll lose. A draw wouldn't be atrocious, defeat is damaging.

I reckon you're about right there mate.

I'm confident we can have 'em, but if we only come away with a point I won't be losing any sleep over it either. Esp if other results go our way too.

[Carlos]

No two ways about it. Forest should be beating Rotherham now if the turnaround is happening, no more settling for shite draws against shite teams. In 9 months time people are wanting to push for promotion, you can't do that if you're rolling over on a draw against Rotherham just before that.


Other managers would have been crucified this far into a tenure if they limp dicked a draw against teams like Rotherham.

[tricky_tree1982]

I like Mighten but I'd prefer him to come on 2nd half when there's tired legs. For me he's far too lightweight and gets bullied off the ball and poor at holding it up for others to come into play. It will improve I'm sure.

[MASE]

Rovrum play three at the back, whoever gets the call opposite Knockeart needs to be equipped to nip into some potential free space left by their Wbs. If it were me, I'd be giving freeman the gig until Mighten starts playing with his head in the air & Lolley shows something concrete.

No room for complacency, no whipping boys in this league, essentially this & previous managers appraisals have generally come with more insightful context than "Rotherham are shit, why didnt we win".

Its also live on sky so no iFollow

Are you sure Carlos?

The club email I received on Sunday informed me that it is available as part of my "season-card Ifollow option". Unless of course I'm missing something?

I think that if the game is the main event on the normal sky channel (not the red button) it isn't on iFollow, like the Derby game, I've not checked which category this game falls into as I have no way of watching it legally anyway.

[Strummer]

I think Carlos is correct; in the iFollow app, the next two games - Rotherham and the sheep - are „audio only“, which means there’s no video:



(Remind me again, why I pay nearly €180 a year for this s—t?)

I accepted that Friday's isn't as it was moved from its original Saturday slot, but the club email I received is unequivocal in stating that tonight's game definitely is.

I honestly don't know mate, I was just under the impression that if it's shown on a normal Sky channel rather than the red button it isn't on iFollow, it's why they move the Derby game as they are not allowed to televise 3pm Saturday kick offs.

Because the grandkids aren't around to help me with such tasks Chris, I'm struggling to post a screenshot of said email confirming its availability tonight..

[DB1702]

Only change I would consider making is bringing in Lolley for Mighten. I think young Alex is ideal to be coming on for the final 25 minutes in a game to run at tired defenders.

Hopefully Lolley will come good we all know their is a player in their who can win matches with his talent he needs to show that form again.

Murray only just short or 60 minutes on Saturday so I think he would be good for another similar hour or so from the start. But I think he may start Taylor with Derby to come on Friday.

This will be a tough game despite them losing 3 in a row they were all by the odd goal against teams in the promotion hunt.

One of the refund options included all midweek away games via ifollow didn’t it? Even the sky games. That’s the only way to watch on ifollow I believe - presuming you took this refund option Otis?

Elimination chamber is now up on the WWE network, don't bother watching it though, it was shit.

As for the football, snooker is also on, Ronnie v Ding tonight.

Not that it’s much use to you, but it’s streaming on the German streaming service DAZN (which I subscribe) which usually indicates it is a „blacked out“ game for iFollow subscribers...



So I shall have to contend myself watching it on DAZN (with German commentary) instead.
