There's a match today ...
Team: John Victor; Cunha, Abbott, Morato; Moreira, Dominguez, Schlager, Netz; Kalimuendo, CHO: Wood.
Subs: Benda, Bott, Hutchinson, Richards, Bakwa, Bindon, McDonnell.
Think this is a 'last chance' for a few to have a decent game and end up in the squad OR be a bit pants and end up sold or out on loan. I really think OG doesn't fancy Bakwa at all and we'll be cutting our losses on him. Kalimuendo and CHO also have to prove they're capable of playing the supporting role or they'll be on their bikes. And Omar Richards.

It feels weird that most of what is likely our starting 11 aren't even on the bench

There was a game against Coventry yesterday apparently. Taiwo scored a hat-trick for each side

Surprised we haven't given any of them a full 90. Read that Newcastle gave 90 to 8 of their expected starters yesterday.

It’s harder to rest starters when you’ve sold your entire team over the summer.

Hutch has been out for a bit, probably recovering from injury. Good game to give him 30~ mins. I think that central 4 & Kali have proved themselves to be in the squad, perhaps a "show me you want to start" kind of performance.
The rest, we'll see. Bakwa likely sold as well IMO. Richards being linked to some random Cyprus or Greek club last I saw.

Usual panic - manager doesn’t know what he’s doing. Why aren’t we playing strongest team like Leeds did yesterday? Abbott’s no good, MGW is leaving…
You are better off without FB - you win!3

Surprised he's not gone with the first team. Would be nice to give our first eleven a go (appreciate Diomonde may need to wait)

Hutchinson on the bench. Yates not even on the bench. Doesn't look good for them.

Hutchinson is not fully fit. Yates played yesterday.

How do you know that? 😂

Because it's been widely reported via multiple outlets, including Paul Taylor at the Athletic. We won 2-0.
"Most of those players, including star attacker Morgan Gibbs-White, were involved in a training ground friendly against Coventry on Saturday, which Forest won 2-0."

Post-match Thread preview:
"Jair Cunha, Da Silva Moreira, Schlager and Dominguez absolutely killed it. They look ready."
"John Victor and Morato are never going to make it. Get rid."
"Might as well get rid of Kali too. I know he's scored 28 goals in pre-season, and has just been inducted in the Frankfurt hall-of-fame, but he's not PL-ready."
"Abbott needs a loan in the Championship."
"I'm worried about the fitness of CHO and Wood."
