Burn, Isak, And Murphy Start At Nottingham Forest



Here is the team Eddie Howe has named for tonight’s match at Nottingham Forest. It has no changes from the 2-1 win over Wolves last weekend with news emerging today that Miguel Almiron has suffered an injury that keeps him out of today’s clash.


The strength of the bench has been impacted by Miggy’s absence. Callum Wilson has made the trip despite missing some training this week. Elliot Anderson’s versatility could come into play in the second half.

Here is the team that Steve Cooper has named for Forest with Jonjo Shelvey starting against his former teammates. Former Magpie Jack Colback is available from the bench.

Howe has named the same team that took down Wolves last weekend. Though he’ll have to navigate this one without his match-winner Miguel Almiron. Hopefully, the lads can pick up another three points ahead of the international break.

Howay The Lads!

    Subs bench is inevitably lacking attacking options, but can’t wait to see Maxi have a go at Aurier

    Hopefully we come flying out the traps and catch them cold. A couple goals up early on would be super, manage the rest of the game and give minutes to fringe players.

    You tried to spell Isak’s name twice and got it wrong both times. Looks like you’ve got some spelling homework to do over the weekend.

    Jane’s gone green today! ……oh wait….
    Happy St Paddy’s day to all.

    Good lineup again as I think it will continue to gel and result in a few goals today.
    Hopefully we can counter off Jonjo’s misplaced forced passes.

    Miggy injured? Despite his small stature and lots of hard physical play he has been subjected to by defenses, he has remained remarkably healthy. Hope it is not serious…

    Paraguays Manager:

    “Miguel Almiron was injured yesterday and will be out for three weeks and it is not necessary for him to come.

    “We received the report from his club (Newcastle United) and we saw the video of the injury.”

    Miggy is on psyops duty this week. He is currently in the forest dressing room putting itching powder on their manager.

    yeah…strange one for Miggy as he was one seen in the training videos during the week when others with known knocks were not.

    Decent enough starting 11, but without Joel, Miggy and Gordon available the bench doesn’t look terribly threatening. I’m hoping we are two up with twenty to go, and then just shut the bugger down and be on our way.

    Well looking at subs bench difficult to see 5 subs being used unless injuries

    Wilson and Anderson ? – Ritchie at a stretch

    Later maybe – family joining me for game

    From the BBC: A thigh problem keeps Miguel Almiron out of tonight’s game. It could keep him out for a little while too, by the sounds of it. Eddie Howe has confirmed that the injury is not a minor one.

    Thighs are the worst sort of muscle injury. Kept Isak out for months. But no problem, time for Murphy to step up.

    Thanks for the detail. With Gordon and Miggy out for non-simple injuries the squad looking a bit thin…. 🙁

    Read a Shelvey interview recently where he says Eddie told him initially he wasn’t leaving without a replacement in first, but relented and told him a couple of days later he wouldn’t stand in his way of happiness.
    Wor Eddie risked it for a biscuit so he owns it.
    I imagine there was a replacement close, but it obviously didn’t happen for whatever reason.
    Maybe he thought we had enough with AG coming in, to see us through till season’s end. Saves a few quid for more summer spendies maybe.

    Taco exactly. It’s a shame re miggy, he would have had a field day vs tiring defenders imo.

    A win by any means is all that counts, although a goal for both Botman and Murphy would be very canny.

    Anybody else concerned we don’t have enough cover for leftback on the bench…

    Lucky we don’t play with leftback ay!

    We should be strong enough though

    I’m not going to be on here for the first half, timing my 10K run in front of the big TV, going to start at quarter to and finish at HT, quick sauna then settle down with a cup o tea and a bar of chocolate for the second half.

    At least Big Joe finishes his suspension tonight so is back after the break and we have the break.

    Injuries happen, how we deal with them is what counts.

    Double bummer with no Almiron and they have Johnson fit. Should still have enough but could have done without those. Even worse fore that Almiron is in my FPL team so that’s a zero from his position as I have no sub to come in…looks like I’ll have to transfer him out if he’s out for a few weeks too.

    Chance for Murphy to prove himself anyway, hope Gordon and/or Almiron are back soon.

    Funny Magic Hat – personally I don’t count Lewis as a left back, but then I don’t count him as a footballer either.
