Tough game this one.
I know they haven’t won since they beat the sheep but they were excellent against Fulham despite the result.

Let them worry about us.

They had a really high press against the sheep which caused real problems. We'll have to be able to deal with that.

The one thing you leave when you press high is space in behind, if we find a way through the press out pacey attackers will have space to play in and create our own problems. We just have to be brave on the ball. Birmingham may not have the energy to do it as much with it being the third game in a week for them.

Agree but Im not confident enough yet in our ability to play out. Figs looks very uncomfortable in particular.

I'm somewhat bemused that a player on thousands a week can be 'uncomfortable' on a ball.
As for Birmingham, I'd like to see Forest get a result against 'slappable face' Bowyer.

Interesting perception about Figs not being comfortable on the ball.
V Barnsley: Pass Completion Rate
Figs: 94.3% 35/43
Worrall: 73.8% 61/82
McKenna: 70.3% 64/71
V Millwall: Pass Completion Rate
Figs: 78.4% 51/71
Worrall: 77.9% 68/91
McKenna: 71.7% 53/64
I appreciate that these facts don’t tell the whole story but what it does illustrate is how they use the ball when in possession.
Does he look nervy at times with the ball at his feet? Absolutely.
Does that mean he is uncomfortable with the ball at his feet? Absolutely not

Coming from Portuagal, I would have thought he'd be comfortable playing out from the back.
Perhaps the Championship is more 'high octane' and the pressing forces players into quicker/nervous decision making.
I thought when he 1st came to Forest he seemed much more composed and in command of his ability.

Is his decision making nervous? The above stats suggest not.
I fully acknowledge that by defending him that he will be at fault for both Birmingham goals on Saturday
