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!

St Max, you dummy. Slips down the pecking order and closer to the exit and really missing out. All for the want of running around a bit more.

Isak has been so fkn sensational.
If we have this version of him permanently we’re at least in the running to win the league this year.

Well deserved win, ref was clueless, or corrupt? Forest played like 70’s Leeds. Isak was immense HWTL

Deserved result. We were by far the better team and unlucky with their goal, hitting the woodwork twice, and a goal ruled out by a confusing offside rule. Bloody relieved we got over the line!
Isak is a quality centre forward isn’t he?! 🙂
HWTL!

Anderson really wanted to show what he missed coming out of that Liverpool match. He did change the complexion of the game to start the second half with a definite added energy. Isak though is class….I was a bit worried with tired legs on that PK but perfectly and calmly taken. MOTM for sure.

First time I’ve seen Anderson play well and delighted to see!
Murphy continues to concern me. Continues to work hard but poor end product time and time again.
What a side we’re building though! Some of these lads will be with us for years and playing in the Champions League for us before too long!

Love Trippier taking the piss with the Forest keeper and defenders them handing the ball to Isak.
Isak is pure class.
Ref and VAR don’t know the rules. Liverpool had a goal awarded against Wolves same as Andersons. They couldn’t disallow an obvious handball for the pen. Some betting syndicates are going to be livid

Tripps has such a head on his shoulders….so many time this year we could have rightly lost it but he always keeps things under control and plays the mind games as well as Eddie….almost as if they had a common mentor 😉

So if Juve want to swap Vlahovic for Isak how much are they going to pay us on top?

17 February, 2023

I have an update on what's happening with my treatment for prostate cancer.

Last week, my oncologist called me late in the day and said he thought it was best to terminate my treatment with radium 223 dichloride because it was having such a negative effect on my health - specifically my digestive system.

I had completed 3 of the planned 6 infusions.

They had looked at the bone scans and three CAT scans I had early last week, and they showed no signs of the cancer spread being slowed or stopped: in fact, it was continuing to spread and my PSA account continued to rise.

The only treatment left now is to go back and have another bout of chemotherapy with docetaxel being the medication used.

I understand this will be a 7-month job with 10 sessions 3 weeks apart - almost double my first chemo treatment in Apil 2017, when I has 6 treatmnts.

The problem I have is that I'm in a very poor physical state right now, due to my digestive system being basically torn apart by the radium 223.

The radium 223 has leaked into my digestive system and caused me to have severe diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn, and it was (is) very serious.

They said it was too dangerous to proceed with the radium 223 treatment, with little benefit being shown.

I am also suffering from severe exhaustion, basically, because I have zero testosterone, and all the treatments I've had for the cancer, have further lessened the energy available to me.

It reminds me of the saying that if cancer doesn’t kill you - the treatment will (laugh).

It will probably take up to 8 weeks to get back to a physical state where I can start chemotherapy, and that's where I am now, but the cancer continues to spread in the bones.

I've also been put in touch with the dietitian from UNC Healthcare, who will help me get back my health - she is very helpful.

So that's where it stands it's been quite a journey over 12 years and I think I've had almost every treatment available.

It has really taken a toll on my body and on my energy, but that's where it stands and obviously, I'll do the best I can in the upcoming months with chemo and hope I can get through it.

It is as it is - and another challenge in life.
