Internet Millers V Nottingham Forest Match Preview

After a cracking performance against Darlington to run out comfortable 5-0 winners the Millers will be looking to extend their unbeaten run. However, Forest have had the best of the Millers in league games over the past 3 years running out 3-1 winners last season, 6-4 winners in the 03/04 season and 4-1 winners in the 02/03 season! In fact you have to go back to IMFC’s first ever season in 01/02 to find our only league victory against Forest, running out comfortable 4-1 winners! We will take that score on Saturday!

Squad wise the Millers are looking strong. With the return of Gav from USA the Millers take a 16 strong squad over to Forest with strength throughout the park. However, a big blow will be the loss of leading striker Burns who is on a holiday for the weekend and will miss the game. That said, a number of players will be itching to score some goals and push for their place throughout the season.

Forest provided tough competition in the semis at Worldnet.

Certainly Andy P will be looking for “more of the same” when it comes to performance as the opening 45 minutes against Darlington saw the Millers play some fantastic passing football and carved open a hatful of chances. However, no one is kidding themselves into thinking this game will be the same. Forest will be fired up after losing to IMFC in the semi final of Worldnet, the pinnacle of the season for all supporters teams around Britain.

With the Forest big guns sure to be fired up; it will be important that IMFC rise to the challenge. JV and Denti will be organising the team for the day, carrying out Andy P’s battle plan.

The majority of the players will be moving on to watch RUFC afterwards so it should be a great day out. Here’s to a win for IMFC and RUFC and most of all a cracking day out!
