Game 37 - Green Devils (A)

Team: Forest Green Rovers

Date: 10/03/18

Where: The New Lawn

What line-up should Kevin Nolan opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

I think this game could be a feisty game and, it should be interesting to see if Liam Noble will feature. He hasn't done enough since his return for me, I don't care about the excuses of him being unfit etc - I don't buy it.

Yet I think it could be useful to start him since he'll be aware of how they generally play (I know things have changed since he left them) but it is still an advantage for us.

We really need to go and attempt to get the points, as this could be one of those vital games in our promotion push. COYP! 

I am expecting another draw, but Notts needs to win.

My prediction:

We will be winning 1-0, Noble will come on as sub in the second half and get sent off with ten minutes to go, Showumni will be replaced by Smith to try and preserve the lead, with our backs to the wall FG throw everything at us and we succumb to an injury time goal, two points lost, Twitter goes into meltdown, Noble becomes the new public enemy No.1 thus taking the heat off Collin for a while.

i would hate to lose this game after all they have said about us not being professional.

i cant see noble doing anything and i dont think he should be anywhere near the starting lineup, hes barely earned a place on the bench for me but he could get us moving forward if he performed on the pitch. i think it will be a 2-2 draw and i can see someone like duffy scoring an own goal.

Provided our midfield controls the game I fully expect chances to come.

I don't think the issue recently is down to the finishing, it's how we are performing and working as a team. I think Forest Green should be easier, yet it's down to us about how difficult we make it. I don't want to sound like I am underestimating them, yet I felt they would give us a better game at Meadow Lane and they was very disappointing. I really do believe if we work harder them in the centre of the park chances will come, we just need to avoid over complicating things.

If I predicted the score, I would say it would be close but very winnable.

My prediction would be 2-1.
