    The whole club still on a high after last weeks back to back wins. Decent opportunity against a West Ham side which seem a bit ropey still so far this season. Kudus and MGW both missing still.

    Could be a 2-0 for us, but another 0-1 wouldn’t surprise me.

    MGW could be on the bench - but even if fit i wouldn't start him. Anderson deserves to be starting after last week. Good chance we just start the same 11 again.

    Another win and a clean sheet please.

    This fixture always reminds me of the FA cup SF at Villa Park in 1991, Forest collapse 2 years later was unbelievable

    I keep saying it, but it shows how far our squad depth has come when we are happy to leave MGW on the bench because others have performed in his place!

    As for the match, it's a home match so I suspect we might find it to be a bit of a slog as Nuno tries to find that formula to make us better at home. Who'd have thought that in season 3 of our PL journey, we'd be dreading home matches and looking forward to away games more so :D

    :laugh: :laugh: I reckon you'll have more positivity than I bring :D

    What a performance that was. Even when 11 v 11 it felt different today compared to other home matches. West Ham were pretty shite, but we looked in control from the off and ultimately it was the fact they were struggling to handle our pace that resulted in the red card and we didn't look back in the second half. Great to see Aina on the scoresheet, he's been a diamond since we signed him but today is not about individuals that is a superb team performance and if it wasn't for 2 absolute worldies from Fabianski, it would have been even more than 3.

    Shame Brighton couldn't hang on at Anfield, but great to see one of our title rivals dropping points on the south coast ;) :D

    I always thought that the promotion team would be my favourite team ever, but there is something about this crop and what Nuno is doing to get this out of them

    Happy for Forest!
    One of my best mates is a massive fan so like to see them doing well.

    Obviously you’ll go through a tough period at some point but you just need to get as many points as possible on the board while things are going your way

    Well played Forest.

    West Ham need to sort themselves out defensive wise.

    City and Brighton fans will know, but there's not many in this country that can experience this high as they haven't had a proper grounding. Makes it all the sweeter

    I was talking the dizzy (unsustainable) heights of Europe.
