Hadn’t read about that this week.
Thought Ng would slot straight back in.
Hoped Ralls playing left wing back was a one off.

Ned if MM is stcking with 3 center backs then ralls must be playing left wing back.

Bugger. Had a look at the Forest forum, they are not too confident but seem like a decent bunch.

He's got a foot injury apparently.

He had a horrendous open blister on his foot after the swansea game.

Looks that way. He played there against Swansea and did well.

But I'm a bit surprised he isn't playing Ng there.

Only thing is that we have another game on Monday so he might want to give Ng another couple of days to get ready for that, given he's just had an injury.

Morrison had a massive blister on his heel and played with a calf strain against the Jack's. It's a game too soon that's all. If hes not back in Monday he will be next weekend.

I can’t remember which game it was but I’m sure Ralls played at LB a handful of seasons ago in a game where we were a man down due to injury or a sending off and he held his ground well then too. Seeing as he did ok against Swansea there too I’m not disappointed that he’s starting there again today. He’ll have that ability to push up on the wing and maybe come inside a little bit on the attack and will offer that threat. Alternatively we could be playing 4 at the back (Brown at LB) and a very narrow midfield with 2 strikers (Pack at CDM, Vaulks and Ralls at CM and CM, Bacuna at CAM and Wilson and Moore up top).

Come on boys!
