da wazamba: Nottingham Forest striker Lewis Grabban struggled in the 0-0 draw with Swansea on the weekend, and manager Aitor Karanka should drop him and start veteran striker Daryl Murphy for the clash against Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday evening.
da heads bet: At the Liberty Stadium on Saturday both sides missed chances to win the game, but both lacked the cutting edge to break the deadlock. One of Forest’s best openings came towards the end when 30-year-old Grabban looked to be through on goal. However, the bouncing ball wouldn’t sit for the former Bournemouth man and Swansea’s defenders were able to get back and clear.

For the rest of the game, Grabban looked off the pace and Forest fans on Twitter were not happy with his lacklustre performance. Karanka then should look to bring in 35-year-old Murphy for the home tie against Sheffield Wednesday. The former Ireland international has three goals in just five appearances in all competitions so far this season and could certainly do a job against an Owls defence which has only kept one clean sheet all season.
