Will be disappointed if we don't take anything from this game, although we must perform better than we did V Wolves.
Hopefully start keeping a hold of the ball for longer spells.
I reckon 1-1

We really need to be taking 3 pts at home against teams that are down in the bottom half of the league.
I wasn't overly impressed with our 2nd half performance against Wolves, but I still fancy us to beat Leicester.
2-1 Forest

Are they still missing Madison? A couple of other injuries too I think. Going for a positive 3-1. Johnson Scarpa Gibbs white

We need to play better than in midweek. Not sold on Scarpa playing that far up the pitch but we're short of options. MGW needs to play as a striker and not drop too deep.
Think we'll grind out a narrow win today.

15 mins in. Harvey Barnes just missed a sitter. Yates had a chance from edge of box that failed to get on target. Mangala doing well at dispossessing and moving the ball on. Gibbs white doing his usual thing. Scarpa looking lively, lovely bit of skill to get a shot away and some good passes. If we don't keep our focus though Leicester have shown signs of being dangerous

Fairly even game I would say. Leicester have had the best chance.
A couple of players look like they are dealing with a Few niggles to key players as well. Gibbs white, Johnson and Yates have all had knocks. Yates looks like he is struggling the most. Unsure whether he will come out for second half.
Lodi is looking good, shown some good touches and is getting up the left well. I am surprised how well Scarpa has settled. He looks very good at keeping the ball in tight spaces, drawing one or 2 players to him then pinging it to someone in a good position. I think with awoniyi we win this game but we are lacking a bit of a presence up top. Hopefully Scarpa can find a through ball to put either Johnson or Gibbs white in on goal.
All to play for but this game really could go either way

Leicester missed a sitter, apart from that neither side have troubled the 'keepers. Scarpa's left foot though.👍

Wow Harvey Barnes missed another sitter. Careless at the back and Barnes should sweep it in but doesnt

Great chance for us. Scarpa wonderful battling to win ball back, Aurier put Johnson in and Johnson rolls it across 6 yard box for an open net tap in but Gibbs white checked back for the pull back

Surridge coming on- I can see why but Scarpa off who I think has arguably been out best player.

Johnson puts the ball in the net going round the keeper but think he is just off. We are turning the screw now. Finding a lot off space to run at the defence.

Gibbs white is a very very good footballer. I said it when he signed that £25m and the ambitious add ons would be a brilliant investment. And personally I think it's money in the bank.

Great battling by Lodi. You can see the togetherness of this team now. Arguably Lodi's best game, done well going forward and done very well at the back too.

Almost surridge, diving header couldn't get enough on it. Great delivery from Aurier and a minute earlier a wicked free kick from Lodi and no one got on it. Both full back having a blinder

Get the fuck in! Wonderful goal. All about the determination of Gibbs white, lovely outside of boot pass, perfect weight to it. Great touch by Johnson and slots it into the far corner. Well deserved! Keep going right to the end boys
