We were clearly a better side than Palace in the recent cup games, though we looked toothless up front. I would be confident about beating them again, and I can see them slipping into the bottom 3 or 4 in a few weeks.

Even if they get rid of Hodgson, I'm not sure there's much of a viable option out there. Could see Parish trying to get Gerrard.
Obviously Cooper as well but not worried if that happens either.

Does feel a massive game that palace, we know it's a long season and there's always time but a big opportunity to gain momentum and impact those around us
I remember when we used to have big games that weren’t against Palace.

I think what people struggle to recognise is that the teams down there are all poor teams. Luton aren't going to win 5 matches in a row and they're not going to breeze through an 'easy' fixture such as Sheffield United at home. Those teams are in trouble because they struggle to put together consistent results whether that's down to poor coaching and/or a lack of quality which isn't going to change. Forest and Palace look to be in the same boat.
I find the histrionics about other teams results before March/April a bit much.

Absolutely no doubt that we are missing Douc. He is so central to our attack, as those runs into the box that he makes aren't replicated by anyone else. I would like to see us potentially move Onana up into his position if we have Garner and Gana available to sit in CM. Gives us that energy and height that we are missing, and crucial support for DCL.
The Palace game is a pretty big one for both sides, but one that we should look forward to.

Further up he goes the less touches he will get unfortunately.
Want him in the middle of the pitch touching that ball as much as possible. Touches that would go to garner go to him, would go to RB go to him, would go to Tark to to him. Ball ball ball.

We need Onana as the 6. Collect the ball of the centre halves and full backs.
