Notts Forest v West Ham Match Fred

TEAM NEWS


Nottingham Forest manager Steve McClaren will have Guy Moussi available for the first time this season.

The French midfielder has been sidelined by a calf problem
but made a successful return for the reserves this week and is in the
squad.

West Ham centre-back Abdoulaye Faye (groin) is a major doubt and midfielder Gary O'Neil is still sidelined with an ankle injury.

Teenager Callum McNaughton is suspended after being sent off on his debut.

Super Scott has,nt made the trip to the City ground so I take it he is definitely out the door but it seems like talks have broke down at the synagogue with Arry,s board refuseing to meet West Ham.s demands . Anywhere but the yids Scotty FFS

No Super Scottie Parker

Nottingham Forest: Camp, Gunter, Morgan, Chambers, Cohen, Majewski, Boateng, Greening, McGugan, Findley, Miller
Subs: Smith, Lynch, Reid, Derbyshire, Garner

West Ham United: Green, O'Brien, McCartney, Tomkins, Reid, Noble, Collison, Nolan, Taylor, Faubert, Cole
Subs: Boffin, Faye, Stanislas, Piquionne, Carew


So BFS has finally come to the conclusion that Illunga is a total waste of space , took him a while

Good opportunity for Sam to make things w**k without Parker. Let's face it, it was going to happen eventually. Hopefully some of those midfielders will take some responsibility now.

Iam sure nolan will be saying something in the changing rooms telling the lads to go out and proof we dont need parker

AN OWN GOAL !!! 1-0 WEST HAM

222222222222222--------------------0000000000000000000 NOLAN !!!

333333333333------------------000000000000000 CARLTON COLE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Great half.....need to be professional about this now and keep it simple.

Their biggest threat is Mark Noble, cant keep possession for more than 5 seconds, we are three up dont need to try and thread the ball where there isnt a gap everytime. Simples

We,re winning away , we,re winning away , how shit are forest , we,re winning away but how the fcuk did Nolan miss that sitter , these are the ones that have to go in and kill the game off . Stay awake now WH it aint over till the wanker in the black blows the final whistle

And the squirts are losing 2-0 at home to city You sure you want to go there Scotty

Noble goes in two footed and gets away with it. Dickhead

Greens having a great game

finguck defence went too sleep, all went towards the ball and left the yank to score

very stupid letting them score

5th in the league and 3 pints below 1st place , Pompey at home next after the break and we really need that one for the home fans

And sqirts fucked up at home to City 1-4 And they are still bottom

Just got to take that form back to The Boleyn and we'll be laughing.

Gotta say, Tomkins impresses me more every game.

And Noble needs to step up or ship out - I hate to say it but he's our weak link in midfield at the moment

Have to agree about Noble , he just dont seem to perform as well as I expected , maybe some time on the bench will put his head right

Thought Foobear did well today, looked good coming forwad and chased everything down when they came forward. Tree has uprooted and moved well, thought if he had stayed on we might have got another. Looked good from dead balls, how often have we been able to say that! Defence looked sound, except for their goal. Linda did OK but went missing for their goal. Green had a great game, Parker must be really confused, we win 4-1 away and that big club spurs that he would love to join re botom of the prem and have just lost 1-5 at home! and look like losing their best player. What a friggin great day

Oh and can the reffing get any worse! unbelievably poor again

Oh and I thought Tompka and Reid looked superb in the centre.
