Hip according to Nuno, who has already confirmed he won’t be playing.

I'm hoping they are basing their expectations of us on how easy they swept us sside during the 7nil thrashing and get totally complacent. They'll be facing a different animal (hopefully) on Saturday.
If they do go through, I'm happy it's Forest and not any of the others at our expense.

Great news for us. Not so great news for Mr Wood.

What? He has played every league game, and missed only 250 mins (being subbed with 10 mins left every game).
He is essential to how they play. But so is Mitoma for us.
Having a functioning midfield will be more important for us than whether Wood plays or not, but anything that gives us an advantage is good.
Is it PotG?

In a game of fine margins, any extra help ought to be embraced.

Forest play Manchester United on Tuesday in the PL and I think will prioritise that game given their position in the league and rest a few players against us!

Thinking about it, I'd rather forest be at full strength so when we knock 'em out of the cup, they can't bleat about it
Unfortunately I do this , along with suspensions , for every Albion opposition. It is sad but ....
Fallen leaves at that.

It might as well be 1999 in Rainham to be fair
I agree . . . .we have a score to settle and it should be done on merit
NUno is probably sandbagging anyway

His replacement is a decent striker, but Wood has scored more goals against us than any other current player: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/brighton-amp-hove-albion/vereinsschreck/verein/1237
12 goals in 24 games! He only scored 9 in 31 when he played for us. His absence can only be good news.

Confirmation we have no fit midfielders an hour before kick off, is news I don't want to hear ever again.
Do you know a lot of bleating Forrest fans? I'd rather they field the weakest possible team making it practically a bye for us.
It's not like we've had an easy run, we've already had to play Chelsea and Newcastle.

They’ll be saying the same about us to be fair, all the more with the Villa game being a six pointer. Why wouldn’t either of us jump at the opportunity to win some silverware?Forest play Manchester United on Tuesday in the PL and I think will prioritise that game given their position in the league and rest a few players against us!

This time our concern is more likely to be having no natural full backs who are fit for 90+ minutes of intense football.
No sign of Veltman in the training pictures
No Ferdi
No Lamptey
Just Estupinan off the back of a 15 hour flight after 2 matches in 5 days for his country.
