Forest Vs Ipswich - The Opposition View

Last updated : 09 August 2004 By Site Editor
How do you think Forest will fair this season?
Hopefully we can build on last season's finish under Joe Kinnear and push towards a playoff place but we could do with another couple of bodies on loan to give a bit more squad depth.

How do you think Ipswich will do this season?
I expect Ipswich to be there or thereabouts in the playoff positions at the end of the season.

Whats your opinion on former Town striker David Johnson?
Johnno is quickly turning into a Forest legend after becoming the club captain and if he can stay clear of injury and keep grabbing goals then there's no reason why he shouldn't be a club legend.

What Ipswich players do you feel could cause your side problems?
I like Dean Bowditch as a player but I think Jason De Vos will be the main man to look out for at the back. I'm looking forward to seeing the battle of De Vos v's Gareth Taylor as they're both quality in the air so it'll be like Goliath against Goliath.

Are there any hidden gems/promising youngsters in your squad we should look out for?
Everyone seems to know about Andy Reid nowadays but the main man is Paul Evans in midfield. He'll be breaking-up the play and gives us much needed bite in central areas.

What sort of line-up can we expect from you?
GK: Gerrard
DF: Louis-Jean
DF: Hjelde
DF: Doig
DF: Rogers
MF: Impey
MF: Evans
MF: Jess
MF: Reid
FW: Taylor
FW: Johnson (c)

Subs: Roche, King, James, Walker, Gardner

Predicted Score?
Hopefully 2-1 to Forest but a draw could be a good bet.

Thanks to Daniel from Forest Mad for the answers.
