Next up in the Potter disaster class ...Forest away.

Looks like we'll be bolstered by Fernandes arrival in the squad, but Magassa won't be signed in time.

Lineup:

Hermansen 

Todibo Mavropanos Aguerd

Walker-Peters Fernandes Rodriguez Soucek Diouf

hard to know. Suspect we will see an uptick in performance and a contribution from the signings as subs, but its too soon to expect them to be game changers having just signed. 

Improved performance but a narrow 2-1 loss

[only1billybonds]

We struggle against teams with genuine pace and Forest have plenty of it. Really struggling to see anything other than another loss and the feeling of toxicity around the club getting ramped up another notch.

Potter in charge will result in the usual abysmal starting lineup. He will then do his usual of subs, eventually throwing on attacking players with 5 mins to go. In keeping with the current average over the last 2 league games a 4-0 defeat hopefully means the sack on Monday but don't hold your breath

Chris Wood against central defenders who are afraid to head a ball
What could go wrong?

Fernandes may play some part but along with Magassa we need probably 4 more players
Expecting a long afternoon against a well managed team that plays to its strengths 

[Sydney_Iron]

Think the best outcome here is we somehow nick a point? 

Against Wolves we did do better UNTIL they sent on the first team players, think we are due a better performance but not sure that will translate to 3 points, but maybe 1 is achievable.

Heres hoping at least

[El Scorchio]

Fernandes will be a tremendous help. I suspect he goes straight in. Still short of 3-4 players but it’s a start. I should think they’ll have too much for us. Our defence as always will struggle. 

[Massive Attack]

Think it's another loss if he likely continues with the same formation and shit substitutions. 2-0

One good positive that came out of Tuesdays game was the players did work hard and showed some fight so hoping to see that continue at least.

[Keep dreaming]

We need more defenders and defensive midfielders 

[Mike Oxsaw]

As much as I hope the new arrivals will lift spirits at the club, I think there are far too many "old heads" in the squad for them to get any respect.

I'm not confident of us getting anything and suspect it will be over as a contest before half time.
