Can we Continue Our Home Undefeated Run?
After our 4-2 win against Reading which was a good game to watch for the neutral, but a tense game of two halves for the fans of both clubs. Reading fans the happier as their side scored early and added another before the halftime interval, it looked like the international break had worked against us, little did we know what was coming in the second half. Good substitution by JT and it turned the game on its head, the Cherries fans the happier as their team scored four good goals in the second half to go above the leaders Reading in the table and keep their home unbeaten record in tact.
The Cherries are home again, this time the visitors are Nottingham Forest and again the game is on Sky on Tuesday evening.
Forest and their manager Sabri Lamouchi had a bad start to the league season, losing their first four games. First game was away in London against Queens Park Rangers 2-0, then the first game at home against Cardiff City 0-2. Their third game was away against Huddersfield which finished 1-0 and the fourth and final game for their manager who had started at the club in the Summer of 2019, was back at home against Bristol City 1-2.
He was replaced straight away with Chris Hughton formerly at Brighton. Hughton started with a win away at Blackburn 0-1. Then followed three 1-1 draws, the first two at home at their City Ground against Rotherham United and Derby County, the third game was away at Luton Town. Hughton then had his first defeat at his new club, losing by the only goal against Middlesbrough. Then back at home his side had two straight wins, 2-1 against Coventry City and 2-0 against Wycombe Wanderers before the international break. Their most recent game was away at Barnsley and they lost 2-0 with two late goals.
Forest signed no fewer than ten players this season, amongst them ex AFCB players Harry Arter and Lyle Taylor. They also brought in four players on loan for this season.
The last time we played Nottingham Forest was in our Championship winning season, Forest did the double over us, winning at Dean Court 1-2 and at their City ground 2-1. They were one of two teams who did the double over AFCB that season, the other being Leeds United.
In all our home league games against Forest, AFCB have W 4, D 1, L 2.
Only played them in the league and in all those games AFCB W 4, D 4, L 6.
AFCB Team News
Cameron Carter-Vickers is unavailable with an ankle injury. Josh King is self isolating and Adam Smith and Philip Billing were left out of the squad that played Reading because of their close proximity to King. So they may be doubts for Tuesday. No news of any injuries from the Reading game.
AFCB Player To Watch
After our second half performance against Reading, David Brooks with his two assists brought us back into the game, also Dominic Solanke was lively up front and was rewarded with two goals, Lewis Cook played well, finishing with a great goal and then there is Arnaut Danjuma our leading scorer with 5, scores vital goals and most are fairly similar with the ball ending in the right hand corner of the net.
Nottingham Forest Team News
Another ex Cherries player is Lewis Grabban who was leading scorer last season, he has been out with a hip injury and will probably miss our game. Other players missing have been Joe Worrall, Tyler Blackett, Fouad Bachirou and Samba Sow.
Nottingham Forest Player To Watch
What I saw of Lyle Taylor at Charlton he looked a good and lively striker and had scored three goals in his previous two games with a brace against Wycombe Wanderers, this was before their recent defeat against Barnsley where Forest were goalless. Another player is Harry Arter, although he was on their bench in the last game.
