Big injury list according to Naylor

[Napper]

Injuries the last 2 seasons been an absolute joke. Hope we are luckier next year

 

[keaton]

Could this be Agustein's big moment?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Hopefully Upson and Stephens are fit enough to play.

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

Forest have 12 first squad players out injured as well, so that should even things out.

says who ?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Calderon or cms to score the winner!

Notice how Upson says he's up for another one year deal. Now watch us stall for ages, then offer him a pittance, and then spend 18 months and millions of pounds on a replacement who is only about as good as him.

Notice how Upson says he's up for another one year deal. Now watch us stall for ages, then offer him a pittance, wait for him to sign for Reading and then spend 18 months and millions of pounds on a replacement who is only about as good as him.

You missed a bit.

Agree with this, but would add Bruno to it.
Upson's said in the interview in today's Argoose that he can play tomorrow given the importance of the game and that it's at the end, rather than in the middle, of the season.
Stephens looked badly injured last week, but if he can start I think he should as he's a very different player to the other midfielders we have. But given that both he and Andrews are not 100% I'd much rather that Ince replaces Andrews. Andrews can always be on the bench, but I think it's too much of a risk starting two central midfield players that are not fully fit, particularly if we have to make attacking changes to change our style of play.
So given all that, my team would be:

Top Kat
Bruno Greer Upson Ward
Ince Stephens Orlandi
Buckley Ulloa Lingard

Subs: Anks/Brez, Calde, JFC, Andrews, March, LuaLua, CMS

This is particularly harsh on Dunk, given how he's played this season, but Oscar will want to go with experience especially in defence, and we need plenty of cover on the bench for midfield and attacking options.

Stephens won't be playing. He has a protective boot on, during that Lua Lua video he just put on Instagram.

 

[nwgull]

Could this be Agustein's big moment?

Yes. I'm sure he'd be in great form and shape after spending the last 9 months not being arsed for the 1st team, at training, or even for the DS when given the chance to prove his attitude.

 

[Mellotron]

Palace or Burnley would've been more accurate as to which players I was hinting at.

 

[edna krabappel]

Stephens won't be playing. He has a protective boot on, during that Lua Lua video he just put on Instagram.

Was thinking that myself. Assuming the video was made today or yesterday of course, and it's not one he's been sitting on for weeks.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Forest only have '2 fit defenders' today.

Dan Harding is one of them.

By (fingers crossed) resigning Upson it'll mean saying goodbye to Greer.

Neither will want to bench sit for Dunk, who has to be first choice next season.

 

[OzMike]

Dan Harding to play the game of his life anyone?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Forest only have '2 fit defenders' today.

Dan Harding is one of them.

he's a defender?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Forest have 12 first squad players out injured as well, so that should even things out.

I thought it was 18 ?

 

[sydney]

With Dunk, Orlandi/SD, Ince and Calde, all have better than adequate cover.

calde to smash the winner in from 30 yards in the 87 th minute ......ooooohhh yeaaahh...
