    Should be a good one - always have a soft spot for Ipswich. Opportunity for us if we can grab 3 points to really move clear of a few teams with a lot of tricky match ups this weekend.

    Both games at the CG were close though so I’m expecting that again. I’ll tentatively say 1-0 Forest

    Should be a relatively straight forward win for Forest as we continue to slide meekly to relegation. Going for a 0-3 Forest win. Gibbs-White and Hudson-Odoi to put on displays to prove a point to Tuchel and get call-ups to the England squad when the inevitable withdrawals start.

    I know it will surprise nobody that I am being so pessimistic but this feels like a horrible banana skin to me

    We haven't got a home point in 2025, only scored 3 second half goals at Portman Road and only kept two clean sheets all season.

    If we get anything you guys have either had a massive wobbly or we have played unbelievably out of our skins.

    Both of these things could easily happen

    I love your negativity, this was me going into the last day of last season for us against an already relegated Huddersfield who hate Leeds :laugh:

    I don't think you have anything to worry about.

    This Nuno side is built differently but after years of being let down that Forest PTSD takes over :laugh:

    If Forest can contain us for 20 mins then they can definitely see us off second half. Every chance of absolutely murdering us down the flanks. By the law of averages we should get at least a point at home before too long but who knows. Need to start taking those chances.

    Team much as above but presumably Enciso will play if fit. Imagine either Johnson or Godfrey (after last time I really, really hope not) will play full back.

    The sublime MGW showing Tuchel what an absolute massive bell end he is. Love it.

    Ipswich have been utterly embarrassing. Great for us to be 3-0 up but I don't think we've had to do much really to get there.

    That Morgan Gibbs-White fella has a chance at the England squad I reckon. :slap:

    It's amusing seeing how pessimistic football fans are. Forest's supporters not the only ones guilty of it but amusing nonetheless.

    Comfortable win in the end which you'd expect given the gap between the two.

    Sloppy at the end but another 3pts. Convincing win that.

    Overcame a ref who was adamant we could not challenge for the ball and ruined our flow of the game.

    A welcomed 3 points.

    Other than the 6 minutes of 3 goals in the first half, I wouldn’t say it was convincing. We just made silly mistakes again.

    Did you see the ref at your place when we came up for a league game? Shocking ref, all the Forest diving.

    Todays ref blew for 13 fouls made by yourselves but the only yellow card was because a player was faking an injury. Whilst ours was 4 fouls and a harsh yellow.

    As annoying (because we spent recent years/decades as a very similar club) as it is to see how far Forest have come over the last few years, it is good to see a different name up there. Good luck for the rest of the season and hope to see you guys in a couple of years and we can finally beat you at the City Ground!

    I found it a comfortable watch. You huffed and puffed a bit but we just have too much quality going forward.

    If you lot could actually defend you'd be a lot higher in the league as you do have threat going forward
