    2 appearances? He's clocked up 80 appearances in the Championship, including 38 for Forest three years ago, aged 20.

    That's his natural position and bought as a replacement/up grade to the squad that failed last season.
    Mario barely played last year , probably due to his age.

    He also has number 10 written ok his back

    And how many of his appearances have you seen?
    None I suspect.

    Karanka soon booted him out

    So anyone over 30 is on the scrap heap.

    Yeah I’m a huge fan of Vrancic and his style. But I agree he’s best off the bench to mix things up.

    I'm pretty sure I know more about Dowell than you do, and even more sure that SW and DF and the England selectors for the U16s to the U21s do also.

    As for Karanka "booting him out", is that a criticism of Dowell?

    31 is quite old for professional footballers, centre backs and keepers not so much.
    I did see Ibrahimovic for Milan yesterday at 37 but most players are dropping down the leagues at that age

    Don't want to quibble over it , I'm a big Mario fan but he's more of a bit part squad player than a plays every game if fit player.

    I won't complain if he starts , it looked weird having Pukki at #10 and the experiment didn't bring any goals ,Farke rarely changes a winning side but I wouldn't be surprised to see Marco back in the team.

    So how many times have you seen him play?
    I suspect all your knowledge is off the internet

    No but their game time MAY need to be managed differently from say that of a 21 year old.

    I would prefer to play Cantwell at 10 and give Plancheta a start rather than start with Vrancic.

    I'd also be happy to start as we did against Birmingham.

    Could McLean play at 10 ?

    If true, that would make two of us then, wouldn't it? Why not stick to the point rather than resorting to personal sniping? I simply corrected a factual mistake on your part.

    No mistake on my part matey.
    I was refering to games played for us,which both of us MAY have seen.
    If you think this is personal sniping,believe you me,I have no vendetta against you or any other posters on here.

    Just read on our board "Dominic Gape, Uche Ikpeazu, Ryan Tafazolli and Jason McCarthy were all being assessed on Thursday and Friday to assess their likelihood of a return from injury.". Uche Ikpeazu is the striker, so that answers that. The other 3 are all class defenders so without them we are considerably weakened. Hopefully we will have Charles and Stewart in defence, otherwise we will be well and truly stuffed. Not really looking forward to this. Then we have Watford. Oh dear, Reading, Norwich and Watford in the space of a week. Just what we needed with a weakened team

    <ok> N.B. What a player's performance in just two games tells a watcher is greater the more the watcher knows about the player from other sources. What you "see" depends heavily on what you know.

    I'm an admirer of Vrančić and wouldn't mind seeing him start, but I'd be inclined to stay with Pukki behind Hugill against Wycombe where we're likely to be trying to break down a stubborn defence. Away at Brentford and Bristol City, Pukki up front and Stieperman in the hole would be better, with Mario coming on for the final 20 minutes.

    Does Farke read this forum before giving interviews?

    He was saying how Cantwell and Buendia are not actually right for the number 10 role. It’s uncanny.
