Grimsby Town vs nottm Forest

It's here! A massive game for Grimsby Town at Blundell Park as they welcome Premier League side and two-time European champions Nottingham Forest.

A really high-energy performance from the Mariners so far after the break. Paul Hurst and his side have a chance to pit themselves against one of the top 20 sides in the country and one steeped in great history with a big fanbase. For Forest, you would expect heavy rotation from Steve Cooper to give minutes to some of his new signings. Great move from Town down the right with Holohan looking for Clifton with a cross into the box, but it bounces past the latter. A weird game to analyse from a Town perspective, soundly beaten but in the game for the large part. A massive game for Grimsby Town at Blundell Park as they welcome Premier League side and two-time European champions Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper has confirmed his team to play Grimsby Town in the second round of the Carabao Cup tonight.

Forest enjoyed a useful cup run in the FA Cup last season and Cooper had his team bang up for those games. The game at Blundell Park represents a good chance for several fringe players to stake their claim for a place. It’s rare for Forest to be playing their first League Cup contest of the season at the end of August.

Dennis showed glimpses of his quality with an energetic performance and he looks like he could be a big player for the team. The Nigerian cost Forest £20 million from Watford and this was his maiden outing in the Garibaldi. Further to his senior debut, the bench was filled with young talents and that will give them confidence that Cooper will utilise them in the future. The youngster has been a regular in the team’s under-23 ranks and the future looks bright for him. He was neat and tidy in possession, kept things simple and completed 100% of his passes in the first half. The second half saw Steve Cooper blood a few of his youngsters from the bench and Forest held on to complete a routine victory.

Emmanuel Dennis contributed an assist on his Nottingham Forest debut as the Reds overpowered Grimsby Town 3-0 in Tuesday's EFL League Cup encounter.

"We scored two particularly good goals, one from the turnover with a high press which was a nice finish from Sam and obviously a brilliant finish from Yatesy for the first. After playing for 75 minutes, Dennis was subbed off for compatriot Taiwo Awoniyi – who played a role in the club’s final goal. The former Watford forward was an unused substitute as the City Ground side played out a 1-1 draw with Everton in the Premier League at the weekend.
