I’ll take a draw

Me too but 2 points out of six is a bit of a problem and will set us back.

I’m assured Cooper will have seen Horvaths contributions this season and worked on that with him in training, he’ll have the 3 best central defenders in the league in front of him so I don’t think he’ll have to worry too much, just be confident in his shot stopping ability and his gathering of the ball and make sure he distributes well where he can. I know Bournemouth bought a near new team this jan but we shouldn’t fear them they were 1 down to Blackpool yesterday if they can score first so can we!

Four points from Blackburn and Stoke is reasonable. 

My glass is half full.

I was expecting 3 from the Blackburn and stoke games due to Blackburn's home form. So more than happy with 4. 

I really fancy forest to get a win on Friday night against Bournemouth. Even without Brice. I think our pace on the counter could really expose them and we will be clinical. Looking forward to a couple of days on the south coast too.

Really looking forward to this one. Hope we carry the game to them and go toe to toe, I think we will.

Should be a cracker.

I'm being a bit pedantic, but Cook couldn't get in Bournemouth side ahead of their central defenders.....then again their manager finished 4th with far and away best squad in the league 2 seasons ago  then came straight back down (with Fulham) so maybe his opinion isn't all that.

Okay so that may have been a bit of hyperbole but you’d hope those 3 have that mentality that they’re a brick wall and no one is better.

You are right Zico, but don't you think Cook will use that as a stick to beat Bournemouth with? He will be out to prove a point, that he WAS good enough for their side and STILL is good enough!

I used to have a soft spot for Bournemouth as I went to their original great escape match in the 90s. Their end was like a throw back to the Trent end and it was a wonderful match I think was 3-0 verses Shrewsbury but could be wrong- on the pitch after - great fun. If you’d had said that day that Bournemouth would spend more time in the top division than us I’d have had you committed.

Roll on though and after their time in the sun, more FFP cheating than Derby and the unfair parachute payments meaning they can go on and sign a new spine of the side in January and any fondness has disappeared. I have turned down the chance to go and sit in the home end to watch at home with my lad.

Hope we piss on their chips
