Team for Forest

Tue Apr 17, 2018 2:00 pm

Etheridge
Bennett
Manga
Bamba
Morrison
Gunnarson
Mendez Laing
Hoilett
Patterson
Zohore
Madine

Strong IMO. When you hear Warnock speak of Zohore and Madine as he did, saying Madine took the big hits and Zohore would have been bullied....Play both of them!

If Madine DID do such a good job at absorbing Norwich's shoves and fouls, then Sure play him. But our game changed the second Zohore was introduced. I think this has to be the team Saturday, when you consider form, how we won the game, and who on merit deserves to start.

What formation here Paul!?

As much as I’d want to go at them. Is now the time to change systems? We know we can score goals even when the game is going against us. Furthermore we know we have a plan b and can score late on with subs.

So isn’t it better to stick with tried and tested set ups that the players are used to? Tinker in the game if it’s not working by all means but personally I think this game is far too important to experiment with. We need to be professional and just win. 1 goal. 5. Doesn’t matter. Just win.

I think against a team like Forest who are likely to park the bus we may have to try a couple of formations but I'd start with this:

Etheridge

Peltier Morrison Bamba (Manga if injured) Bennett

NML Paterson Grujic Ralls (Gunnar if injured) Hoilett

Zohore

I'd like to see Madine and Zohore together for a decent amount of time but unless things are going badly we probably need to stick with what has got to this position so far.

Spot on and thats what will happen , Nw is not suddenly going to throw caution to the wind after 42 games when there is no need. Plenty of options off the bench which is why we score so many late goals
