Andre is back in the goals
Andre Ayew on Forest “The next game will be a hard one,” said the 31-year-old. “We know there's 19 games left and so many points. “It's a marathon and we need to keep going to the end. The team who is going to be strong mentally and physically will be able to do something great. “But with so many games to play, I think it’s important that we only look at the next game. And we will do that for the rest of the season. “We are doing good but we won’t get carried away. We must keep working and work harder because we've got 19 games left and there are a lot of points to play for and get before we can think about anything.”

Joe Worrall
Defender Worrall is catching the eye of numerous premier league sides including gravelly voiced Burnley. He has only enjoyed being one of the first on the team sheet last and this season. Before that he was on loan at Glasgow Rangers and Dagenham & Redbridge where he scored his last competitive goal. Worrall is from a place called Hucknall.

We hadn’t played and were rusty. The Sheffield Weds postponement disrupted our rhythm and we looked disjointed. Expect a much stronger and more cohesive performance at Huddersfield.
let us not forget how horrible the weather was last night. We have all played on park pitches when the weather was that bad. Some of us have had the pain of being paid when the weather was awful.
On a separate note, Bennett was booked last night rescuing Grimes mess up. He took it for the team.

Th left side was poor throughout - I don't think Bennett wasn't on top of his game possibly because Naughton wasn't 100% comfortable and Guehi didn't appear to be playing as either CB or full back; Bennett didn't control Guehi the way Cabango does when the Swansea youngster is playing central and Guehi's roving meant Fulton was having to play deeper and cover; Bidwell to Lowe wasn't happening because there was no one linking where Fulton should have been. Grimes didn't get started until a patch in the second half and Hourihane was also no firing on all cylinders. Back three has to be glued together by Cabango with or without Bennett. Fulton missed his header in the first half because he was trying to get power from his neck muscles and didn't quite time the move properly.
Bennet is 3 times the player of cabango.

I agree with others about being rusty. How many times have players said training is all well and good but it's playing that gives you that extra sharpness. We'd been playing Sat/Wed/Sat/Wed and the games have almost replaced training. They probably do some light stuff and tactical stuff in between but not full on training.
Having two weeks off disrupted that rhythm. Other teams didn't have that break. Hopefully now tomorrow we'll be back to normal.

We had a week off. Outside a protracted season a week between games is quite normal.

Harsh that is on Ben. My only criticism of him in the past was he seemed to panic on the ball, but so did Bennett on Wednesday.
Maybe it is a bit harsh,but Bennet is quality Ben do great the ball like a bomb under pressure and the weight of his passes are not the best,I would say he a bit slow if I'm being over critical...he is a good young player but Bennet is the better in my eyes..
