    Very early days, and it may improve with sharpness. But in a similar manner to last season - where before a ball was kicked, we could see where the gaps were and the games soon evidenced it, this season we look 2 quality attacking players short. And that’s what the first 2 games have shown up. Minimum, one quality striker, and I think we need a goal scoring wide man or attacking mid/number 10 too. We’re already looking like we’ll struggle for goals, and if we lose either Cook or Cooke, we’ll be done before it gets going.

    17 professional goals in nearly 4 years. Suffice to say, we need to see more of him to determine whether he’s going to bring what we need. He’s always seemed a very hit and miss type of player, and apparently fluffed one of our best chances last night.

    Whilst not having seen him live yet, Angol reminds me a lot of Hiwula... he's going to do great work and create / get bucket loads of chances but he's also probably going to miss a hell of a lot of those chances too! He will frustrate, and everyone will be dusting off their old Jordy opinions for use on whichever side of the argument they were on last time again this time, but so long as other players are firing he will probably be worth having in the team for what he brings (but be prepared to curse a few missed sitters along the way!)

    Ultimately Angol is there to score goals. If he doesn't he isn't doing his job. Same goes with Cook. Especially as its hard to see where the goals will come from. I hope Angol starts to hit the net as his contribution so far in the two games has been good.

    Danny Cadermateri was like that too. Lethal til he got anywhere near the 18 yard box, then his legs turned to jelly.

    Cook was quiet, Angol seemed to be the out ball as we looked to use his pace.

    Agree. Cook looked a horses for courses league 2 striker compared to the movement we saw from forest up front. It’s not the game to judge him in though. His strengths are in the battles that are league 2 football.

    It will be a massive anti-climax if it’s a 0-0 bore draw that’s for sure!!

    Never thought of it that way. Without wanting to take the thread off topic it would be interesting to hear/see the numbers of APM who dont have a season ticket. Personally dont think it should be allowed if there are some

    No. They have just stated what Nottingham Forest's pricing structure is, which is to have different prices for season ticket holders and non season ticket holders. The higher price will kick in when general sales commence (at which point there will be two prices, as appropriate).

    Looking at how they played at coventry do think we have a small chance to cause an upset. We’ve done it before…

    also refs have just been announced for the game too;

    PETER WRIGHT
    Wayne Grunnill and Billy Smallwood
    Fourth Official : Tom Reeves

    looked at his record, he hasn't refereed a game with us so can't comment on his ability. This will be his biggest game refereed so far, hope he doesn't crumble to the home support.
