Match Threads Spurs vs Forest

[Bulletspur]

Welcome to the Spurs vs Forest Match Thread! COYS!

 

[Gassin's finest]

If it's the same team as Thursday, I think we win this.

Otherwise, normal service will resume.

 

[Goobers]

I'm hoping for a really good, energetic performance. Hopefully we'll get to see Deki, Wilson and maybe Richi and Archie start.
However there is a nagging doubt that the minds may still be on that evening in Frankfurt and we have our pants pulled down.
anyway COYS

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

It would be nice to see the positivity from Thursday carried over into the league but I think the reality is that the players have one thing on their minds now.

Forest are excellent on the counter, will sit deep and frustrate us, and we'll rotate heavily (think Ange has suggested 5-6 changes). Not expecting much. But finding it hard to care at this point, too.

[LannerSpurs]

Can't see us winning this, hope I'm wrong but.....

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I am guessing Danso, Spence, Gray come into the squad. Maybe Deki and Sarr (or Bissouma)

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

Normal service will now be resumed.

I hope we give Richarlison a run out. As much as Solanke is doing all ot of work for the team, we need more of a goal threat.

I'm not sure of Richarliosn's fitness to start a match. He has just 19 minutes since coming back from injury.

If he is fit, then yes, I think he can start, but it seems more likely that he could up his minutes by getting a 30 minute run-out.

 

[Nayim60yards]

Still buzzing from turning Frankfurt over in their own backyard so I'm a bit giddy with this prediction. Something seemed to click with the team on Thursday and all the players will be bang up for this game. We're gonna beat Forest! Tottenham Hotspur 2 Nottingham Forest 1. COYS!

Maybe we'll sit back and hit Forest on the counter. Ange mixing it up and keeping everyone guessing!!

Can't see us winning. We might scrape a draw, but our head seems well and truly gone in the league

 

[WaldotheCat]

If we sit back and wait to hit them on the counter, and they sit back and wait to hit us on the counter it should be a riveting game

 

[Bobbins]

Wish we would make some more use of the kids - why can’t Scarlett start? What about some of the kids who did so well against Elfsborg?

 

[cozzo]

We will win, can play a full strength team now. Its a good game for us, to prove that we are better when have everyone

No way he's going full strength. It'll all be about "managing their fitness", plus it provides a nice excuse if we lose.

Should have said squad not team. As in we have more options

 

[SpursSince1980]

We win. 2-1. We out grit Forest who are having a wobble.
