I think he'll start with Adomah again ahead of Semedo. So same team as Wednesday.

Robinson has come in and is up to speed again now. He also gives us more of a physical presence at set plays. Stick with him IMO.

Big physical test for Wozza and Figs against these thugs.

Cardiff are a very different side to QPR.
Semedo over Adomah for me.

Just realised that Cardiff have not won a single away game this season.

I thought he started well but then dropped off a little. He needs game time but it's the same as Carvalho, when you need to be winning every game, how do you carry players?

i'm feeling a little bit anxious about tomorrow but i'm not sure why ...

Nottingham Forest are delighted to confirm that tomorrow's fixture against Cardiff City is the club’s designated awareness match for the Rainbow Laces campaign.

The campaign is aiming to show support for the LGBT+ community and that football is everyone’s game, and the club are delighted to confirm a number of activities as part of the awareness match.

The players will be warming-up in t-shirts with the LGBT Trickies logo on, the supporter group for LGBT+ fans of the club, while the rainbow colours will also adorn the corner flag, captain’s armband and the fourth official’s LED board.


There will also be a double-page feature in the matchday programme and content on the big screens throughout the match to raise awareness and encourage supporters to unite behind the campaign.

PschoStanleyStone from LGBT Trickies said: "As an LGBT+ group we are very proud to work with Nottingham Forest Football Club in addressing the issues of inclusivity."

"Since we were formed we have worked closely with the club. To move forward and make The City Ground a welcoming place for LGBT+ people to attend and this weekends Rainbow Laces game is one of those ways."

"We look forward to continuing our joint work with such a progressive football club."

I think Cardiff's physicality presents a tough dilemma in the middle. Do we go with Semedo & hope he & Silva can out battle them? Or is it worth grabbing the opportunity to try and push Carvalho on, as he looked to be really coming back to his best the other night.

Can see pros & cons for both, my thing is that Semedo's not actually good defensively. He's physical, he's got good drive, but we look vulnerable with him on the pitch because of his positioning.

So if his inclusion also means an inclusion of vulnerability into the side, and thus the side carrying vulnerability today with either option, surely you'd go for the player who has the extra creative spark & has found his zip in Carva?

Not an easy choice IMO. In Mouch I trust though.

Side note: I'm dyslexic and it tool me 7 attempts to spell "battle" above today lol

Semedo has to come in, we missed a presence against QPR despite the result for me.

Semedo has to come in, we missed a presence against QPR despite the result for me.

But is he a presence?

He's physical, but he's also sometimes been criminally out of position. 

Mouch will sort it, and I think he will come in, but I'm just not so sure myslef.
