Introduction and Exciting News
00:00:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Every club. Every day. The Global Sports Podcast Network. Yes, team. Welcome back to GSPN Daily Forest. I'm Mark. That's Marley. Dude, how are you?
00:00:13
Marley (you reds)
I am very good in today, in fact, because um I got a message on Twitter today.
00:00:19
Marley (you reds)
and ah No, not a fan, something more exciting, I would say.
00:00:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
From a fan.
00:00:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
From a date.
Impact of TNT Sport Interview
00:00:25
Marley (you reds)
I saw and i saw a Twitter account that I followed getting added by a man who claimed it was only from TMT Sport and he was trying to interview Forrest fans before, well, on Monday.
00:00:36
Marley (you reds)
And Stewart replied to that tweet saying, um if you need Forrest fans, added me from, added the podcast would be good for it. Two hours later, I received a DM from him asking me to do it.
00:00:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
hundred percent
00:00:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%. And you absolutely should you'd be great for that. Really good.
00:00:51
Marley (you reds)
I will be going down on Monday and hopefully doing well.
00:00:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Such a good representative.
00:00:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep. A hundred percent. Great representative for the podcast. Great representative forest. And I think I absolutely champion you to do brilliant and you get to be on TNT sports. Which is great. You can talk about the podcast, start your sports presenting
Player Scouting and Team Impacts
00:01:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
career. And I think it's fab. Talking of good representatives for the club. Obviously we all do the podcast. I think if I was ever going to get a role at the club, it would be scouts. And one of the players that I've been scouting for a long time.
00:01:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Not necessarily for Forrest, because i I honestly never believed it would come true. It is Mateusz Cunha. We've talked about this a lot this week, various different presenters in the podcast, a lot of people in the media, Sky Sports, a lot of people in the club claim they don't know much about it. um I think, I mean, if we can pull it off, it'll be an unbelievable signing. I don't know how we'll manage to stay under the financial regulations for it.
00:01:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
rumors are that Marinakis is preparing a whopping club record bid. And, you know, we've seen Cunha when he's informed, when he's happy, he really he really pushes the team, he lifts the team, massive smile on his face, but when he's not, there's been antics this season. My only worry with this, and don't get me wrong, like, of course, as a Forest fan, being realistic, especially if other the clubs watch this, we would be overjoyed to have him. I mean, we were buzzing to get Morgan Gibbs white, and, you know, he's proven how good he is.
00:02:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
him and Kunya next to each other would be outrageously good. And I think some fans in the Premier League will go, yeah, fair enough. I can actually understand why you you think you might challenge an now with with that depth. But
Community Support: Forest vs Wrexham
00:02:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
if it did go wrong, hypothetically, do you think it would damage the dressing room? Because you know when we got promoted from the championship, one of the main things was Cooper created such a good relationship between the players and the fans. Came up to the prem, was harder. Nuno's come in, done the same thing. That relationship, you look at Marillo and Wood,
00:02:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
We had no right, even in second, to get Marillo to sign a five-year contract. You can see how much people enjoy being at Forest, you can see the Unisee, you can see how much everyone loves it. And I've been watching that um Welcome to Rexxum documentary on on Disney and seeing the community that their fans have.
00:02:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
And it reminds me of Forest, you know, on on a slightly smaller scale, but they're growing.
00:02:50
Marley (you reds)
Yeah,
Loyalty and Financial Influences in Football
00:02:51
Marley (you reds)
he's Yeah, here's the thing personally
00:02:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I think it's a massive win to get people at Marillo. So if we have someone like Mattias Cunier, if you can buy into it, fantastic. But if it didn't work, is it going to be really bad?
00:03:04
Marley (you reds)
I think part of his current issue is his fans and part of what he wouldn't have to worry about here is the fans because let's face it.
00:03:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:03:11
Marley (you reds)
Wolves fans can turn toxic.
00:03:13
Marley (you reds)
They hate Gibbs White now and players feed off fans whether they admit it or not. They feed off fans massively. So when a club's fans are turning toxic, the players are going to turn toxic with it.
00:03:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:03:23
Marley (you reds)
That's probably what's happened to Kunya where he's starting to show those traits at Forest. The fans will not turn against them no matter what, even with Taiwo underperforming. We're not turning against him.
00:03:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:34
Marley (you reds)
We're supporting him and just worrying about having to accept that he might not be back to his best.
00:03:40
Marley (you reds)
So with Konya, he will know he's got the support of the fans no matter what. He doesn't have to worry about that. He can just focus on his game. Hopefully that prevents him from becoming a bad apple like he has at Wolves.
00:03:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:03:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I mean, I think the other thing is, you know, if he if he does prove if he comes to forest and proves that he's even better than he has been at wolves, with a team that performing doing well gets more opportunities. If someone like man United Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich came knocking forest, I don't think are the kind of club that would stop people leaving. ah If someone came in from earlier, even though he's got a five year contract, if let's say I don't know, Liverpool turned around for 50 million in the summer, we'd consider it Like we're a, we're a club that, you know, champion players and Nuno, especially is one of them that look, you can see as a man manager, you can see that he cares about people and it's so important.
00:04:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it could be a good move. I just, I worry that if the performance has died, if we fell out of Europe, touch wood that we don't.
00:04:27
Marley (you reds)
yeah
00:04:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
But if we did, I worry that his anguish would come out because, you know, you can just see, he just wants to win games. He wants to play but good football. He wants to flourish and
Potential Signings and Financial Implications
00:04:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
he's not getting that wolves. He's getting frustrated. But if that did happen, or if for whatever reason, for the way we were playing, he was on the bench for a few games, would he get frustrated?
00:04:48
Marley (you reds)
yeah yeah I mean I'm hoping not and not the reason for that is look at the squad we've got in a way it's like As fans are saying, all the players are so nice.
00:04:59
Marley (you reds)
It's like, there was a man who met Marillo in a shop and didn't want to disturb him. So he just paid no attention. His son turned around and was like, that's Marillo. And Marillo and his dad tried to stop him disturbing Marillo.
00:05:11
Marley (you reds)
Marillo turned to him and pulled his hood down and was like, yes, I am Marillo. Would you like a picture? So like our players are not afraid of fan interactions.
00:05:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:20
Marley (you reds)
They will happily interact with fans and I think Alanga once, a man stopped him in the street, chatted to him, worrying about disturbing him. Alanga then thanked him for stopping him to chat.
00:05:31
Marley (you reds)
It's like, we've got such a good group of players.
00:05:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, 100%.
00:05:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:33
Marley (you reds)
I think it'll be hard for people to get too frustrated because they know that they're with a good bunch.
00:05:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mmm.
00:05:40
Marley (you reds)
They all get along so well.
00:05:42
Marley (you reds)
I don't think he'll get frustrated like, oh, I'm not playing. He'll be happy for whoever's playing and just focusing on trying to get back in.
00:05:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah and i thought I think the other the other frustration, i mean I've met a number of Wolves fans over the years and a lot of them ah have a great chat, a lot of them are you know really good people, as with many clubs. you know We have every club has a sour apple but you know a lot of the Wolves fans are great, you know Midlanders like us and they just want to watch good football. But I think with Cunha one of the things, and for me I'd be the same, is the owners, I'm sure they're trying to do everything with their best interest in the club, the fans aren't particularly happy at Wolves.
00:06:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
as a player, you you would, you would think, you know, if you're playing football, if you're smashing it week in week out, you get to, you know, the January transfer window, and you know, the the manager's not gonna get it back with new signings, you would start to, you know, have a wandering eye, wouldn't you?
00:06:25
Marley (you reds)
yes it's weird because loyalty has just gone in football really if you can see a club isn't going on in the direction you want to go there'll be no sticking around and thinking oh well i've committed to this club now i guess i'm not going where i wanted to go you search for that move and you search for more money as well it's francesco totsi i think was the last player who will be at a club and just stay at that club through thick and thin be that club's icon that club's player ah fingers crossed morel is that person but the worry is
00:06:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:06:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, hopefully, Morello's that person.
00:06:56
Marley (you reds)
if, if Marilla Madrid come in or City come in, the money they can offer him, you can't turn
Team Strategy and Spirit
00:07:01
Marley (you reds)
that down. Like it's not even, even if he wants to stay at Forest.
00:07:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I don't think we should. I think if we get 60, 70 million, I think that's great business for us. you know and As much as Morello's irreplaceable, iss we can sort a decent squad out with that.
00:07:07
Marley (you reds)
It's not even, it's not even that, but it's if we want, uh, if Marilla wants to stay, like Marilla could want to spend his whole career at Forest, but the sort of wages he could be offered by certain teams out there.
00:07:23
Marley (you reds)
He would be stupid to turn it down, and honestly I wouldn't blame him if he took them.
00:07:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm 100%
00:07:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, and no, I don't think most Forest fans would just be thankful that, we you know, he's got us to where we are. I think obviously being in the top four, and with Maranaka's ambition, I think that's a massively attractive thing. And with the Forest players, the same, like, you know, watching this Rexxum documentary, another similarity, the owners have got massive ambition. Yes, all right, they're getting a documentary out of it. They're making money through Netflix. But the ambition is to get Rexxum to the Premier League. Maranaka said, when we got promoted to the Premier League, I'm going to keep going until we're in Europe. And we're we're one of the best teams. We're championing Europe. We're we're we're competing.
00:07:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he's doing that. And I think, you know, for a squad that is exciting and and that helps when Nuno's trying to push them. They're like, yeah, do you know what? We'd buy into this because, you know, the the team behind the scenes, the owner are ambitious. They're backing us. They're pushing for us. You know, we've got Warden and other contractors as well. It's great. and Another player we'll link with, who I think actually would be great for our dressing room, actually. I think he'd be a nice addition. Slightly older than Cunha, but Joanne Visser. I mean, I don't think it would happen in this transfer window. I hadn't thought about him in our little transfer pre-January thing, purely because I was like, we can't afford him. We're like 40 million.
00:08:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's great attitude, seems like a really nice guy, would fit in really well, offers us something different alongside what up front, he's the smaller, nippier,
Podcasting with Zencastr
00:08:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
kind of Marmouche type player. 40 million, Marmouche going to city for 50, I mean, we probably wouldn't have paid 50 for Marmouche in the end, even though we nearly got him last year. Yo Anvisa, we are for 22, right? And I think Barentford on behalf of Forest, like, you know,
00:08:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think they want to open with 22 and test the waters and then go from there as I think what the aim was. I don't think we value him at 22.
00:08:54
Marley (you reds)
No.
00:08:55
Marley (you reds)
I think it's revenge. I think it's revenge because didn't they bid 10 million for Brandon Johnson?
00:08:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
But i I'm not going to lie, I did laugh.
00:09:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe. But Brennan was like 12 at the time, to be fair. we we we like he I think Brentford bid 10 million for, in Brentford's defence, they bid 10 million for Brennan because they couldn't afford any more of that at the time. and We said he's worth 20 and Brentford were like, we can't afford that.
00:09:16
Marley (you reds)
Yeah.
00:09:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I think in summer, if we are serious about VISA, I think if we went back with 35, I think he'd be a good signing.
00:09:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
My only worry is he'd be about 29 by then.
00:09:23
Marley (you reds)
Oli.
00:09:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's a lot of money.
00:09:24
Marley (you reds)
He's a great player but at the same time with age comes experience and that experience could be vital when Chris Wood will be on his last legs by that point.
00:09:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Well, yeah. Well, if if we get if we can get two or three years two two three decent years out of him, I don't know if he's just turned 28 or if he's been 28 for a while, but if we can get two or three decent years out of him, it'd be fab because he is pacey and his work rate and his attitude is brilliant.
00:09:37
Marley (you reds)
like you know
00:09:41
Marley (you reds)
yeah
00:09:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's exactly what we need, you know, and he's performing and I think he'd fit in and he'd he'd add to that brilliant dressing room call we've got. We'll come to Bournemouth after the ads.
00:09:54
Marley (you reds)
3rd September.
00:09:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
The first one
Past and Upcoming Matches: Forest vs Bournemouth
00:09:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
we've got is Zane Castor, obviously the company that we're in the podcast through. And they've been brilliant, haven't they?
00:10:02
Marley (you reds)
They've been absolutely amazing. Every time we come to record a podcast, I know it's going to go smoothly. It's going to go perfectly because Zencaster just doesn't fail us. It's so handy, so easy to use, genuinely would recommend it to anyone who wants to get into this sort of field.
00:10:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And um I think, you know, one of the greatest things is you can jump on a call with someone. And unlike other, you know, calls online, where where you jump on, it cuts out the middle. So it looks essentially sounds like you're in the same room. It's great for podcasting. And if you're looking, you know, for somewhere to record your new podcast, your new business, even like host meetings, it's a really, it's really great place to look um at using. So it's something that we recommend. Bournemouth difficult game.
00:10:47
Marley (you reds)
very Very difficult. Bournemouth like our bogey team, we just can't seem to beat them.
00:10:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we're always bad at Bournemouth as well.
00:10:52
Marley (you reds)
It's like, yeah, it's like looking back at the last four seasons, how we've done against Bournemouth, we lost to them first game back at the city ground after lockdown, went to Bournemouth with automatic promotion hopes and lost to them there.
00:11:05
Marley (you reds)
Then we welcomed Bournemouth back to our place.
00:11:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
We really faffed that first game as well, by the way.
00:11:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
That 3-2, first game of the new, when we came when they came to us, it was 3-2.
00:11:11
Marley (you reds)
That was so annoying.
00:11:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, that was, ah we really wasted that.
00:11:13
Marley (you reds)
We were 2-0 up. and we but I was celebrating that Brennan Johnson penalty so hard and it hit me so heavy when we lost that game and then we did it the same game to Fulham the next week.
00:11:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:23
Marley (you reds)
Then we drew with them at Dean Cork, Sam Surridge last minute equalizer.
00:11:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
That was called Dean core.
00:11:28
Marley (you reds)
Then they, but well it's Vitality Stadium but it's an actual original name was Dean Cork.
00:11:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it's hard to know all the new sponsor names now in it.
00:11:37
Marley (you reds)
Yeah and then ah obviously We went back to theirs last season, drew 1-1. After they came to us, and I don't want to talk about the game because of Willy Bolly, but 3-2 lost, Dominic Solanke, Hatrick.
00:11:49
Marley (you reds)
And this season, we've drawn 1-1 again. We went 1-0 up, Chris Wood. and And then they equalized through Dominic Solanke having a goal disallowed earlier.
00:11:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Again,
00:11:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:12:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Some menu.
00:12:01
Marley (you reds)
Oh, it was Solanke. Oh, yes, Solanke's at Spurs, isn't he?
00:12:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Some menu. Yeah, cuz slankie slankie was just about to be about to be sold.
00:12:04
Marley (you reds)
Antoine Semenyo.
00:12:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he was on the verge of signing for Tottenham and they hadn't quite sorted over Nelson yet.
00:12:09
Marley (you reds)
Yeah.
00:12:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
So first game of the season ball was still prepping still getting used to it. First off, we peppered him. And we only scored once, and we paid the price. I mean, Smenya is having a great season, to be fair. But first game, 86th minute.
00:12:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
And you know, I think a lot of Forest fans probably went, here we go again. Gone ahead, conceded in the 86th minute.
00:12:26
Marley (you reds)
Genuinely, I think, I personally think the the the game we would have won, we would have battered him if Danilo didn't break his ankle. But because of that, the mood around the ground just went so low after that.
00:12:38
Marley (you reds)
The players will have been traumatised, especially Marillo.
00:12:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:12:42
Marley (you reds)
I do think it would have been a bit of an off game because of that.
00:12:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
ye
00:12:45
Marley (you reds)
And if that didn't happen, we could have won quite heavily.
00:12:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. And Danilo's back now as well. I probably won't play on Saturday from the start, but, or tomorrow, but, um, it's going to be tough.
00:12:53
Marley (you reds)
Yeah.
00:12:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, you know, we peppered him in that first game, but I feel like Bournemouth, I would almost go as far as to say they're the informed team in the league now, aren't they? Even above us.
00:13:04
Marley (you reds)
ah It was Newcastle with nine wins in a row, but now Bournemouth had decided, screw that, we're going to beat you 4-1.
00:13:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
You say that, that Bournemouth beaten 4-1 at St James's.
00:13:12
Marley (you reds)
So, very scary on on that note, very scary indeed, but Andonia Iola was overly complimentary about Forrest in his press conference, saying that we're a very good defensive team, we're very good away from home.
00:13:25
Marley (you reds)
so
00:13:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, do you know, I think Bournemouth and Forrest are two kind of European teams next season, two different options from England. I think it'd be quite interesting to watch, you know, Villa have been there recently, Newcastle, Brighton, it's quite nice to get a few more teams in there.
00:13:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
And, you know, if you can get the top 14, 15 teams in the prem, all have had a few seasons in Europe, got a bit of bank, start to invest in their squads, the Premier League would be outrageous, mate.
00:13:39
Marley (you reds)
Yeah.
00:13:47
Marley (you reds)
It would be the league, the league at the top.
00:13:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean... Yeah, I mean, the they do look good, though, I think... i'd I'd be chuffed with a point tomorrow, I think.
00:13:57
Marley (you reds)
Very, it's a point. Each way works. Well, it's good. Both teams will take the point. A loss would be horrible, but acceptable.
00:14:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:14:07
Marley (you reds)
A win would have me bouncing off the walls.
00:14:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I think, I think, you know, we've, we've constantly surprised teams this season. We're absolutely capable of it. I think just, as you know, as, as fans, you always look at the other team and go, Oh, they've got danger. I mean, I always love fast paced attacking players and Bournemouth have got an abundance of them.
00:14:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know we have as well, but, um, chances are Hudson and I probably not going to be fit.
00:14:30
Marley (you reds)
It's concerning, but I've not seen anything about that yet. It's concerning, but I trust Jota and Sosa to do the job. I trust them.
00:14:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
How long is he out for?
00:14:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
fine. Would you change system?
00:14:43
Marley (you reds)
No.
00:14:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Interesting. So you'd bring like jotter into replace hoods and a toy then.
00:14:48
Marley (you reds)
Straight swap. The only systematic change I would make is the one we would normally make to a 5-2-3, but that still plays two wingers.
00:14:59
Marley (you reds)
And the reason I'd make it is in case you want to unleash the power down the wings.
00:15:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, they've got pays at full back though.
00:15:09
Marley (you reds)
I've got Milos Kirkas.
00:15:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
One of the bonuses with having the system the same is if we do have Xota or Sosa maybe with pace. Sosa and Alanga on the wings. The bonus with that is that it then does counteract yeah cli your your Wataras.
00:15:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you know what I mean? Like the the rapid pace.
00:15:24
Marley (you reds)
Yeah.
00:15:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, they have some outrage. I mean, we've got pace, but they're quick as well.
00:15:30
Marley (you reds)
Yeah, it's dangerous. It's going to be an open game, that's for sure.
00:15:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's going to be a great, it seems like a ping pong match.
00:15:38
Marley (you reds)
That's the thing. You've got two teams which play really fast football. It's going to be end to end.
00:15:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Bless you. It's gonna be as fast as that sneeze.
00:15:48
Marley (you reds)
Thank you. yeah Yeah, genuinely, I can see I can see it being ball carry, ball carry, open game, potentially high scoring or a 0-0 because it's just end to end without any actual clinicality.
00:16:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Would you change it and go zhota and gibswipe behind wood to start off with and then bring a langur and sozer on second half for the electric pace?
00:16:05
Marley (you reds)
So we'll see.
00:16:13
Marley (you reds)
That's a very good shout and Yates in behind to like kind of create that scrappy middle ground to stop their pace being used.
00:16:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, have them have have Yates Yates and Dominguez with Gibbs white and jotter in front.
00:16:22
Marley (you reds)
Do you know what I think?
00:16:27
Marley (you reds)
You know, I think could be the difference tomorrow.
00:16:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Bring Marato in at the back.
00:16:29
Marley (you reds)
You know, what I think could be the difference tomorrow.
00:16:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go on.
00:16:32
Marley (you reds)
Ormuth have had striker issues this season. We've not. I think clinicality in our favour could be the deciding factor tomorrow.
00:16:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm touching wood because I don't want you to jinx that. Stewart on here going, oh, do you know what I'd like? I'd like in the FA Cup fourth round, a small ground, I think Exeter got through. Every single Forest fan watching that podcast is like, Stewart, man, you're just gonna be the longest drive ever.
00:16:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I'm touching wood that Bournemouth, that they have those striker issues tomorrow. Because if they don't...
00:16:58
Marley (you reds)
I think, I think it's not a striker issue, it's a striker non-existence.
00:17:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:06
Marley (you reds)
Let's have a look.
00:17:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, well, maybe that, hopefully they're injured. But, you know, Samania did step in.
00:17:09
Marley (you reds)
Well, their injuries are Tavernier, Smith, Hill, Araujo, Sensei, Scott, Unau, Evan Ilsen and Sinisterra.
00:17:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
adver
00:17:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, that's good for us.
00:17:21
Marley (you reds)
They'll most likely have Dango Watarra up front, which means for the second time, playing us, they'll have a winger at striker.
00:17:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Evan Nelson being out is good.
00:17:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think they'll put some manure through the middle.
00:17:32
Marley (you reds)
And then they'll still have Watara behind him with Brooks and probably Clivette behind him as well.
00:17:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
All Christie. I mean, it's not a bad team, is it?
00:17:40
Marley (you reds)
No.
00:17:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
The only thing is if they get tired, they'll struggle. But they beat Bournemouth, they beat Newcastle 4-1, so they seem to be all right.
00:17:45
Marley (you reds)
Yeah, and and you know what? Like people say, the two M's are scary. I'm a bit worried about Zabanyi and Dean Huishin. Especially since Huishin's a centre-back who seems to be a goalscoring centre-back.
00:17:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, well, it's going to be it's those two against Morello and Milankovic. It's going to be a great game, actually. I think it's going to be, hopefully, it's a nice sunny afternoon.
00:18:03
Marley (you reds)
Really good game.
00:18:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
It'll be a really great game. Hopefully, all the fans chill out and have a pint with each other as well. It could be a really fantastic, exciting afternoon. Advert number two, and obviously, GSPN. We are the the global sports podcast network.
00:18:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
And, then you know, each day, if you
Expanding Digital Presence
00:18:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
want to log on, there's most of the time a fresh podcast for you to listen to. It could be Wild Car Wednesday, Tactics Tuesday. We talk about pregame stuff. If there's a midweek match, there's usually one of them as well. There's crossovers, but there's lots of good stuff, isn't there?
00:18:32
Marley (you reds)
Yes. And you've got no shortage of content either. You've got forest. If you're a forest fan, if you're listening to this and you're not a forest fan, welcome to the thoughts inside our heads and your team.
00:18:43
Marley (you reds)
If you're a Premier League side, we'll be on here. All 20 Premier League sides are covered as well as general sports podcasts like the Spanish Premier League, the fantasy Premier League, Italian Premier League. And we've got big visions for the future with expansion and growing the company.
00:18:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
women's women's. Yeah.
00:18:59
Marley (you reds)
Welcome along for the ride.
00:19:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, they've got great women's team as well. Great women's football team. and So we cover a lot of stuff. I think there's a few championship teams as well, but I don't think it's the entire league. So we're we we'll get there eventually. But yeah, it's great. And obviously socials were on Instagram.
00:19:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're on TikTok. We're on loads different places. So you can see what our faces look like probably enlarged from Zencaster, but you know, it's quite fun to see that.
00:19:17
Marley (you reds)
there ah Although they can do that anyway because GSPN are now starting to post all podcasts under one YouTube channel, which means you can find all our podcasts and all the content you wish to find under one roof.
00:19:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
rooming
00:19:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
There you go, exciting times. Right, I think we should finish on um predicted lineups. Not our lineups, who we think who we think Nuno will pick.
00:19:40
Marley (you reds)
Would you like to start?
00:19:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Matt Sells will be in goal.
00:19:46
Marley (you reds)
Yeah.
00:19:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
I presume. I think if Hudson or Doi is out, I think he'll change. And I think he'll look at the Liverpool approach. I think he'll bring Murato back in, personally for me, and I think he'll probably go Murato, Morello, Milankovic, because they're all quick enough, and they're all big lads, which stops Sibanyi and Hoisin when they come forward.
00:20:11
Marley (you reds)
Yeah.
00:20:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Luckily for us, Billing has gone to on loan to like Napoli or somewhere, and I was like, what? Napoli? But he's a bogey player, so he's gone, phew.
00:20:19
Marley (you reds)
ah you want to talk about teams doing random things Santos assigning Neymar as a backup option because their original target fell through but if you told me five years ago yeah but if you told me five years ago that Santos will be a full back option for Windas Josh Windas no Jordan Road sorry if you told me
00:20:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, but name was a Santos boy though.
00:20:46
Marley (you reds)
Neymar Jr will be a backup option, a four-buck option for Jordan Rhodes.
00:20:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Amazing. I and and love that.
00:20:55
Marley (you reds)
The only thing Jordan Rhodes has on Neymar is he scored ah a 20-minute hat-trick at the city ground.
00:21:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, let's not, let's not tempt fate. Do you know what I mean?
00:21:04
Marley (you reds)
never
00:21:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, so Marillo, Marlankovic, Marata, the three big M's and you said the M's scared, but you know, we're keeping him at the back. Uh, I think the fullbacks will stay the same. I don't see him changing the fullbacks at the moment.
00:21:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think Nico and, um, Ina seem to be playing well together.
00:21:21
Marley (you reds)
Yeah.
00:21:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Although, ah you know, we, we really tried everything. We physically had to throw that Southampton game away. Christ on a bike. why We can't play it. It was four three this little time before that as well. We're just, we need to be tired, but I think that's why I might bring someone else in the back to mix it up. I'm going to go with Aina on the left, Niko on the right. Switch them back over again. Yates and Dominguez for the scrappiness in the middle. And then I'm going to go Gibbs white.
00:21:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who do I think he'll start? I think he'll start a Langer. Personally, I'd think I'd try Gibbs white and jotter with wood, but I think because of the relationship they built up, I think he'll go Gibbs white, a Langer and wood and I'm not against that.
00:21:59
Marley (you reds)
Yeah, it it sounds good, it sounds good.
00:21:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think that's what we'll start.
00:22:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
What about you?
00:22:03
Marley (you reds)
ah me For me, I think we'll make 11 changes. Lee Campbell returning goal. Luke Chambers will return to centre back. Chris Cohen filling in at left back for a game.
00:22:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
I met him at the gym. Nice guy.
00:22:16
Marley (you reds)
Who, Luke Chambers?
00:22:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:18
Marley (you reds)
Class. I think the one to look out for, um Chris Cohen filling in at left back again.
00:22:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who'd say I left back?
00:22:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's far as long as it's not born, I'm okay with that.
00:22:26
Marley (you reds)
I think the one to look out for is big Robert Earnshaw returning at striker. He's going to be a monster tomorrow.
00:22:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Might it'd still be better than what we've got now. I mean, Chris was good, but Robert Shaw.
00:22:34
Marley (you reds)
and
00:22:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, that little somersault in front of the trend and loved it.
00:22:39
Marley (you reds)
Yeah, genuinely though. Matt Sells will return in goal. I do think it'll be a 5-2-3.
00:22:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Matt Sells and Lee Camping goal. It'll just be our 11 keepers. Even Aaron Bott, who's injured, will be in goal.
00:22:51
Marley (you reds)
Matt Sells, Costell Pantilamon, Stojkovic,
00:22:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh my God.
00:22:55
Marley (you reds)
Jordan Smith, Lee Camp, Karl Darlow, Bryce Samba, Mureich and Diallo alongside Vlokodimos.
00:23:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Look at Cardimos.
00:23:05
Marley (you reds)
And you know what? Let's f throw, um, let's throw Mark Crosley in as well.
00:23:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
You're missing out Paul Smith.
00:23:14
Marley (you reds)
Yeah, probably.
00:23:15
Marley (you reds)
Yeah, we'll, we'll go back.
00:23:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Icon mate.
00:23:17
Marley (you reds)
We'll go back to a five, two, three, I think five, two, three thousand goal.
00:23:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Icon.
00:23:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:23:20
Marley (you reds)
Same two wing backs, I think, because they've been on drop ball.
00:23:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Five, two, three, five behind the goal line, three on the goal line, two in front of it.
00:23:27
Marley (you reds)
Yeah, the wingbacks, Aina and Williams have been unstoppable, completely unstoppable, so I put them in.
00:23:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Love it. Let's still score.
00:23:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:23:33
Marley (you reds)
And I think it'll be the three M's, Milankovitch, Marillo and Marato, in centre-back. Midfield, I'd go with Gibbs, White and Anderson, both un-droppable. And front three, Sosa over Jota if Kalamazoo-Doy can't start, with Wood through the middle and Alanga down the other side.
00:23:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Love it. There we go. Hope you enjoyed it. Thoughts. Let us know in the comments on the socials and we'll see you very soon.
