Hull City v Nottingham Forest: Team news

“TrentEndRed…….i think you're right. I think this whole Billy/Edit Suite film is as much a 'i know what you've been up to!' stance to other teams as much as it is positive P.R for Billy/players/club!

As you said, same players but completely different mentality. It's amazing how Billy shakes things up in a very short space of time. Normally a new manager comes in and only a couple of games are won until all the old habits start creeping back and the losses mount up.

There's now no getting away from players loosing their shape whilst on the pitch. Now if a player isn't as sharp on their movement on both playing and receiving balls, it gets videoed, replayed and highlighted until the player understands what they need to do to correct their play.

Whether it be PR guff or not (and i'm pretty sure it isn't), when Billy talks about playing for the badge and making sure that players understand that they are privileged to be playing, it makes you believe that not all football people are shallow and hollow money grabbers. Although Billy has completely changed his tune to how he used to talk in his last reign at our club!!”

“A clean sheet will do for me.”

“BOYD TO SCORE 2DAY

“WELL DONE NOTTINGAHM PANTHERS CHAMPIONS
WELL DONE MANSFIELD TOWN TOP
WELL DONE NOTTINGHAM FOREST PLAY OFFS
NOTT COUNTY CHIPPY
MORE CHIPS PLEASE
MINIMUM A POINT”

“Football is as much psychology as it is ability. This behind the scenes film of billy you wonder how much it gets to other teams. If you were facing forest now you'd have a thought in the back of your mind that billy the geek has been studying and spying on everything you do. Will he know my weak points? Will he spot that frailty?... The element of doubt.

There's a big difference between knowing how to cope with your opposition and knowing how to beat them. Last time we tried to cope, this time we'll be trying to beat them. Same players, different mindset.

The article mentions last game was like chess, it was. This time we have a grandmaster in charge of our pieces, it won't be anything like as negative or oring, should be a corker of a game.”

“It's going to be a tough game. Yes Hull have slipped up some weeks ago with some surprisingly bad results (they either score a lot or let in a lot of goals!)but there are on a bounce back themselves and they won't want to be dragged back into the play off places. Watford and Crystal Palace are eying up that second place with real relish.

But, what other teams do or don't do doesn't really affect our team. What Billy and the lads do or don't do will ultimately show how balanced we are against the top teams.

Billy would have been cutting and pasting on his Final Cut Pro edit suite last sunday and i bet he knows exactly how Hull will play. Will the players stick to his OCD plan? Hopefully because he knows what he's doing.

Here's to another 3 points or a well deserved draw.

COYR's”

“I think Billy will do much like he did for the Charlton away win, where Henderson was so effective alongside Sharp. So I wouldn't be surprised to see Henderson playing alongside Cox or Sharp.
Given the work rate & excellent performances of Cox, he'll probably get the initial nod alongside Henderson.
Out of all the strikers at Forest Henderson has the most goals this season.
If he's fit he should get the start, especially away from home.”
