Nottingham Forest Vs Spurs Preview

This will be a tough test for Spurs. We will need to be on it if we want to get anything from this game. The crowd will be up for it, they will want to relish every single kick of the ball, so we need to start fast and try to kill the game early.

Forest are off the back of a 1-1 draw Vs Everton in the league. However, they have eight straight wins at the City Ground, only conceding seven in their last 16 home games, keeping ten clean sheets in the process. Unfortunately, this has the potential to be one of those games where we struggle to break the opposition down. Conte has stated that we have been working on playing against resolute teams, but a drastic improvement is needed if this is the case.

Forest also pose a threat on the attack, with the Welshman, Brennan Johnson recently claiming his first premier league goal. The youngster also had a well taken goal ruled out against West Ham, due to a tight offside call. He is one to look out for when running in behind, seeing as his blistering pace and quality in the final third will be a handful for our defence tomorrow.

Conte provided team news in his press conference on Friday, telling the press that Cuti Romero and Oliver Skipp will remain out for our trip to Forest. However, they will resume training with the team next week. Lucas Moura and Bryan Gil are also doubts for tomorrow, they will be assessed ahead of the game.

As for us, we need to start the game much faster, a poor first half will not be acceptable tomorrow. We need to be on it from the off, there are no excuses. I think Sonny will keep his place, I really hope he performs tomorrow, because we need him. He’s a vital part of the way we play and his contributions are crucial to this team. Let’s be fast from the off, and work together!

Also, any fans which are going tomorrow, be loud and proud as always, COYS!
