It’s fair to say that the international break came at the right time for us, although losing Ben White is certainly not a welcome turn of events. Can only therefore hope that Calafiori is back fit before too long so that he can slot in at left back and Timber on the right.
It’s fair to say this isn’t a side brimming with confidence, too many players not wanting to take shots on. Despite their defeat to Newcastle, Forest will defend robustly and make look to exploit us on the counter. So beating them will be tough, but will hopefully lay down a marker that we can get past teams that are compact and defend deep.
A clean sheet would also be nice
