Today in the latest Nottingham Forest News, we discuss the team prediction for Nottingham Forest match at the City Ground against Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. We give our own match preview and thoughts on the game.
So how will NFFC boss Nuno Espirito Santo setup for his first match in charge, and which players will he trust in the starting eleven. Will he favour some of his ex players from wolves or will he stick to a similar team that we saw under former manager Steve Cooper.
Bournemouth are coming into this fixture off the back of some impressive form in the Premier League, after scoring three and taking all three points away from Old Trafford against Man Utd in their last match. But will the new manager bounce give Forest the advantage is this match, and give the City Ground their first taste of victory under the new regime.
In this match preview we will discuss potential line-ups for both teams. We will be talking about the system we expect to see from Nottingham Forest. Let us know your reaction and if you agree with our predicted Nottingham Forest line up. What changes would you make?

It feels so good to be a happy Clapper again and I’m excited and I’m really intrigued to see what the first team Nuno is going to pick we’re going to go through that today your guest is going to be as good as mine welcome to your preview Forest versus boring Mouth good morning good evening or good night hope you guys are doing well and welcome to your latest Forest video coming up in today’s video we’re going to take you through the different possibilities we expect Nuno to go with in this match this crucial match on Saturday we’ll
Very briefly touch on the boring mouth team and then of course we’ll figure out will the new manager bounce kick in for nothing Forest don’t forget if you’re enjoying the video hit that like button make sure you’re subscribed if you’re new to Forest fan TV and this is going
To be interesting to say the least now on yesterday’s video we talked you through all of nuno’s tactics the ones he’s used at Valencia at Porto at wolves Etc and how that nicely now links into this video because if you haven’t seen that make sure you’ve seen that first it
Will probably give you a deeper understanding of the way Nuno thinks and then come back and watch this video but for the rest of you who’ve seen it Well Done firstly and let’s jump in and start talking about the possibilities we could see on Saturday okay so basically we know is
Going to be one of three formations either the 343 the 352 or the 4231 now recently he’s been playing the 4231 in Saudi but at wolves his favorite one to start with was the 343 and then he developed into the 352 and I see each of these formations having a bit of a
Headache for him I’m going to start with the 343 if he goes 343 now the other things we know he loves pace and he loves width on the pitch and he loves to block out the Middle with his Central midfielders so let’s start with the
Keeper I think the keeper is an easy one I think he’s going to go lemus I can’t see him putting Turner in It’s a good time to drop him after the shenanigans at Spur so he will go in Bol I think Bol definitely comes in because bal’s going
To be the most comfortable with the philosophy of Nuno and the tactics of Nuno and he can probably guide and Lead everyone on in fact I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bly as Captain as well although personally I’d probably give it to neocar who guys who would you guys
Make Captain let me know down below but then I think what you’ll see is Murillo in the does he does he go left or middle I think Millo goes middle because he does treat his back three slightly different I’ll talk about that in the second and I think niakate will come in
At left side of the three and that will be your three now in terms of the full the wing backs I think he wants Pace here and I think we can see some changes I think potentially Montiel is going to be given a shot here and he’s
Going to come on this kind of right sided uh Wing back position and aalo has been brilliant but I think because of the pace we may see tarez come in on this leftand side look Nuno has been studying the videos and if he was to go and put the
Same team out that Cooper did against Spurs then realistically what’s going to change we’re probably going to play less of a low block but the players and the chemistry isn’t going to be quite there so I think we do need a spice up in what we’re doing and I’m not tarz as biggest
Fan as a Defender but going forward he’s actually not bad and I think we could see him being given a chance so I think that’s how the five defensive players if you like will set up in the 343 now that leaves you two in Midfield and I think the best combo we’ve
Currently got in there I think mangala has been brilliant I feel like maybe he gets dropped I’m not convinced but I think mangala will come in and I think for sure sangar is going to be back I mean marinus is not going to be allowing him really to leave a 30 odd
Million pound player um on the bench obviously subject to Fitness so I think that’s going to be your Midfield four if you like and then we have to have Pace up front because that’s what he plays with so I think the Easy Choice here is that elanga will come on either on the
Left left or right hand side I actually think he’ll go with Chris Wood and I’ll explain why in a second but his big headache is Morgan Gibbs white in this formation because I don’t think Morgan Gibbs white is a wide player I think if I was going to do this
Formation and don’t shoot me down but I would probably put Williams at right right winger I think that looks more balanced to me and I think Williams has been really good going forward in the last couple of games and then Morgan Gibbs white on the bench you see what I mean with the
Headache this is where it gets tough I don’t actually mind the look of that team to be honest apart from Chris Wood obviously now why have I put Chris wood in because the pace is going to come from the from the wings Chris Wood will
Need to play as a back to goal kind of Striker who can hold the ball up and then feed in the Wingers and the overlappers because what you’re going to find is Tavarez will be given a license to go forward elanga will tuck in a little a bit like the jotar roll and
It’ll be the same on this side Montiel will always attack forward so when we’re attacking I expect it to be kind of in that shape with ideally sangar holding now if he does play sangare in the correct position for me this is where you could
Drop uh mangala who I love and I think has been really good but the person who would be better suited to this would probably be Dominguez to play that that slightly Advanced um eight if you like it’s almost like an 86 but around there with sangare
Holding I kind of prefer that but I think it’s harsh to drop mangala you could put danillo there as well but I don’t think danilo’s been in great form this season and the other argument would be obviously to put origi in instead of wood I think this would be my preferred
Partnership this Dominguez sangare Montiel tarez and then Williams elanga and wood up front now if he’s not going to play tarez because I think tarez may end up going back I know it’s harsh on TFO because he’s been really good but again Ana provides a lot of pace on this left
Hand side he’s quicker than tfal that would be the other option but I do think Nuno wants to have a look at all of the players so I know I’ve given you like 600 different variations there but I think we may end up with if he
Goes for the 343 with a team that looks like that and the big headline may be that Morgan Gibbs white is dropped now will he drop Morgan Gibbs white especially as Morgan Gibbs white understands him and knows his philosophy a bit like Bolly maybe not so you could
See him shoehorned in on the right hand side and I don’t think that’s a good idea what do you you guys think of this 343 team would you go with it and if you would is there any changes you would make okay so if he goes to the
352 formation which will give him an extra buddy in Midfield let’s let’s assume cuz we can argue the fullbacks or the wing backs all day long let’s just pretend that we’ve got it right for now and what I think you will see here is probably and most likely sangar and mangala here
And then Morgan Gibbs white coming in in that third not as a 10 but more so as as an advanced AIDS if you like cuz that’s how he used him at wolves I don’t think Williams would get in or Williams may get in at um fullback then this is the
Headache is what do you do up front now he likes Pace he likes pace and how he’s used it before is he would use himz as I told you in the other video to be that flick Conboy if you like freaking Grant halt settings and then the pacy
Secondary Striker to latch onto them and get in behind and then obviously the width would come from your fullbacks and sangar and mangala would hold now I don’t like this one as much but it does kind of get Morgan Gibbs white back into the team I’m not fully convinced on this one
But I do have a feeling he might go for it yes it would give us domination in the Midfield because when we com to talk about Bournemouth in a second they play a 423 4231 and they’re twoo the thing is Christie and cook at the moment are really holding that Midfield down but
They’re both small players well the Fuller Bournemouth stuff will come on this evening because we’ve done um a preview with statman John and you you’ll get all the inside details if you like on Bournemouth there but look this could work this would work better if we had Taiwan
You know that would be the difference I don’t know guys what do you think I think the 352 would set up something like this but it’s still that chriswood headache for me I just he could work he could work let’s move on so if we change this round into what he’s been doing
In which is the 4231 obviously you need to lose a center back I think I think it might be Nia card that’s dropped if he goes to a back four because I don’t think we’ll see this as Cooper’s done when niat has played Right Center back
When he’s a left Center back Etc so I think Niar may get dropped and we go Murillo and Bali as the two and if that’s the case you definitely don’t want to be playing niiko Williams on the right side because he’s not a fullback so you could see and I would say Montiel
He can do it but he’s not defensively strong enough so potenti what you could see in the 42 31 is anal coming in on the right hand side and then Tuff coming in on the left as the four and then you’re going to have your two sitters again I think it would be
Sangar and mangala and then this creates the natural ease of headache on the Morgan Gibbs white thing because you can play him more so in the 10 here put a Langer on the left and then you probably bringing origi in here on the right hand side now Hooper’s tried this before and
Failed miserably at playing the 4231 but Nuno has way more experience at doing it than Cooper and he wouldn’t use it as a low block and this would potentially this may be a reason why he plays it because marinakis wants to see some free flowing football wants to see
Some more attacking football so marinakis may have already put some pressure on Nuno to go with this formation do I like the look of this team yes apart from Chris Wood Could Chris Wood work in this if used correctly yes he could if he’s if he’s
That Target man who can play in the Wingers and then get in the box and get the lead out of his boots and actually try and jump for once but again if I was doing this I would go with aigi I would put aigi up front where the hell is aigi
Oh whoops there’s aigi there I wanted Callum Hudson and do on the right wing there he is found him okay so I would probably go with origi up front um origi up front I just think he gives you a bit more Pace he can play a bit with
His back to go I’m still not convinced on him but he hasn’t been given a crack and I think the key thing here is that Nuno said everyone has a clean slate his door is open to everyone so I do like the look of this team a bit better I
Think sangari and mangala will be fantastic as a two in a 42 31 and Morgan Gibbs white may actually play better centrally like this so I think if he goes to 4231 this is what he will do get your thoughts in down below all right so
Let’s have a quick look at the B of team again I’ll just kind of glaze over it because John will talk you through it all in the preview this evening at 600 p.m. and they’re a 4231 as I said and they’re starting to click and click
Really well and I’m not a big fan of the team but I am starting to respect what arola is doing there now the big interesting thing is that Phil Billings isn’t starting for them anymore he’s been dropped as an impact sub and I hate him because he always scores against us
Literally from the same blade of grass as well got 30 yards out or wherever it was the ones that have been impressing me the most cook has been really good and christe who’s not really an eight or a six has dropped down and he’s kind of fluked his position there and suddenly
They’ve uncovered him accidentally ly in that position and he’s been quite decent seeno is the one that worries me because I highly rate this player now he didn’t have the greatest game against Manu but he’s been Sensational for them and part of the reason of their upturn in form
Over the last few weeks and tavanir the guy that Forest nearly got he’s also adapted well to the Premier League and then salanki is getting them the goals at the moment private has come in and started to establish himself in this kind of free roll temp position but
Their defense I don’t really rate their defense too much but arola has got them absolutely clicking right now however what I will say the unfortunate game they had against Luton um which obviously had to get postponed for medical reasons um they didn’t look as good as they looked in the other games
In my opinion Luton went one nil up early on and yes then Bournemouth got themselves back into the game but this will roughly be their team they’ve started to settle on a team and you know once you settle on a team that things are starting to go right in your favor
So I’ll leave uh John to give you all the boring details about boring mouth later on so tune in for that 6 pm. I’ve really sold it to you okay so how do I see this game working out it depends what Nuno does with the formation I’m I can’t put my
Hats on any one of those three I think they’re all feasible to happen I think I’ll roughly have the right players in there I would quite like to see Santos given a chance but I don’t know how he quite fits him in so we may see him on
The bench and tarez who I’ve never been convinced about I still kind of like the idea of seeing him going forward in that fiveback formation gets wide he’s got Pace it could be interesting but either way I just feel the manager balance is coming I Feel
That Fire in me again for Forest that I’ve lost over the last two to three weeks it’s so good to feel excited and looking forward to a game again and really feel like you want to scream at the players with love with frustration with everything that feels like it’s all
Back with me I just feel like this new chapter this new era hopefully can start off with a manager bounce Bournemouth will be fearful of forest they always have an inferior uh infer inferiority complex to us because they’re scared of us we’ve achieved more but they always
Just seem to pip us every time we play them they are really getting to be a bit of a bogey team for me but new manager new rules I’m going for a forest 2-n win clean sheet two goals take that new no run with it and keep that smile on my
Face what are you guys predicting let me know in the comments down below thanks so much for watching we’ve got the reaction to the pressor from this morning if you haven’t seen it go check that out we’ll have John from uh from beat the drop you all know
John check that out 6 p.m. this evening and until then as always come on you Reds

No way wolfie 🤦🏼♂️
Definitely 2 up top with mgw in the hole
Iav like what you said again you telling the truth 💯 👏 👌
2-2
Im think he is going to go with a 3-4-3. Vlachodimos,Murillo-Niakhaté-Boly, Toffolo-Mangala-Sangaré-Aina/Williams, Elanga-MGW-CHO(Hudson-Odoi) so this could also be a 3-4-1-2. Captain for me should also be Niakhaté. He was already Captain for Mainz. He should also take care of pens instead of MGW. For Mainz he scorde every one of them.
Forest 0-3 Bournemouth
3412 MGW in the 10, wood and elanga up top. Aina LWB, Neco RWB. Mangala, Sangare CDM. Niakhate, Murilo, Omobamidele CB
Not going to lie will feel wierd not seeing Cooper in the dugout but fresh start hoping to see some fire from the players on Saturday and will back Nuno as the new boss. COYR❤
I’d make Toffollo captain
‘Everyone has a clean slate’ Apart from you Worrall!
Darn it, I predicted a 2-0 in superbru too… given your record of the predictor league I might have to go back and change my scoreline 😆
Im afraid Bournemouth will continue their booringly better results over us! – and the manager bounce will be lucky to get us a draw at best.
Woods is a huge issue always. Im losing patience with Elanga. If he's in then dont rely on anything. Just let him run around being chaotic. Bournmouth will never know what he will do because we dont and candidly he doesnt know himself. Wood and Elanga in a lineup always worry me – neither have any productivity. I like Montial – he was tortured his first game but was good after that. Nico has played well lately. I think I would stay with Toffolo. All this being said I only see them on the TV
I wouldn’t drop Neco
I would not play Aina he can’t defend
I’m back fella❤️❤️🙄🙄late as usual.. tell the lads to come to edwalton miccy ds ..you won’t miss me.. Forest or Santa hat.. depends what the gaffa says
Only there till 12😂
Inferiority complex?….😂😂😂they always dig a result out of us
Play Sangare in POSITION in front of back 3 (Murillo Boly Niakhate (Tavaz Montiel wing backs) in a 5 1 2 2 (with wing backs 3 1 4 2)
Midfield : Dominguez Mangala with MGW and Wood (or Elanga Origi CHO) up front.
EXPECT Tavarez and Montiel to start as decisions have to be made
Also: Big money signings and High wage earners will NOT be left out they will be pushed out to show responsibility
DECISIONS ARE TO BE MADE FOR JANUARY STEP UP OR GET CHOPPED FROM THE SQUAD
Please not Turner in goal, he's CRAP,get a new keeper in the window,we currently have 2 number 2 keepers.
you have some good ideas, i think mgw will play over woods in first formation, but look forward see what happens
i like Neco up front on this "3-2-5"
imagining it with Taiwo up front instead of you know who gives me hope… but when?
To be honest I really don’t know where our goals come from!!
COOPERINE!!!
Wood AND Williams?!? Nuno will put Felipe up front before Wood!!! BOU will be so distracted checking Felipe out that we will score 3 goals before Halftime ❤
Wonder who the new “captain” is going to be?
I like the 4-2-3-1 with Hudson-Odoi & Origi
I would give osong a game over wood and origi hopefully they gone next month
Defo Niakhate as captain for me
Would scarpa have a chance to come back
Aguilera in place of Wood
CHO
Nice to be talking about something other then Cooper for a change.
Swear to God that weird wolverine host character has not supported Forest all his life. He would have been a Utd fan for a bit, then maybe Chelsea when they won a few things, a bit of City maybe. The bollox that pours out his gob, he can't be a true fan. The other lot that sit on the show are proper melons too
Hi at the moment it's a lotttery but i will keep the faith – Forst to win COYR
Wood,tavares,montiel in the same team. Noooo wolf. If you add worrall it would be a complete nightmare. But it's your call. Coyr.
If it's 3-0 to Bournemouth at half time, any guesses as to the song coming from the terraces?…
how many possible formations are allowed 🙃
