Today he's shit. And he's wasteful. We have had 34 games to depend on him, mate. Even if I discounted 20 games for him to get used to the speed of the league, he's still shit in more than half of the remaining games. Better to not have expectations of him to come good, at least not when we are fighting for survival. He lacks the mettle big time compared to Tel.
Just hope for crazy deflections or a red card for the opposition. Unfortunately it’s only been us that can do that so far.
Ange was there for a few games.....they've been just as shite for the other managers, that's why they only have 39 points
Footballers don't care though about rivalries
This will go down to the last game probably.
I strangely feel less confident after this game than I did before, such was the performance and due to the 2 new injuries.
We’ve been shit this season but injuries have been crazy. I’d argue we’re going to need to navigate the end of the season without our 5 best attacking players - that’s crazy.
Re fixtures - Villa very tough on paper but I’d be shocked if they didn’t rest a load of players for EL semi 2nd leg.
Chelsea hard to see us getting much but they are mentally all over the place and the manager is an unknown. Could we sneak something?
That leaves Leeds and Everton at home which we have to turn up for.
I know points wise they look solid but I do think it’s very feasible Forest lose their next 3 games. Tough fixtures and EL surrounding that.
That’s the glass half full view.
Of course the bigger problem is we’re pretty shit.

I really don't see the Leeds players giving too much of a fuck on the final day of the season tbh
West Ham are in decent enough form for a team in their position so I would still think they are more likely to survive,it will take huge improvement in us to get ahead of them ,not impossible of course but the odds still against us I fear.That Brighton game looks a killer now .
Thought he was the only one who got in the pockets today and the only one who beat anyone 1 v 1. Tel showed willingness but he untidy and makes so many poor choices.
Hammers= Away to Brentford and Newcastle……Home to Woolwich and Leeds
Spurs= Away to Villa and Chelsea….Home to Everton and Leeds
Brentford chasing points for qualifying for Europe, Woolwich chasing Premiership very hard anyway.St James Park very hard.
As for us, Chelsea all over the place, Villa have European games either side.
We need goals from midfield. Tel has to,play.

The whole club needs ripping apart
Play like today for the last 4 and we'll be lucky to get the points needed. By and large drab against the bottom side.
Yeah even though we won, which we had to do or it was over. We can’t fault the battle & getting the result which is the main thing.
But We played poor against the worst team in the league. We lost 2 starters in attack which is an area we are already weak in. & Everton cancelled us out anyway so it’s as you were but without 2 key attackers.
West Ham in the driving seat. Forest too far ahead & scored 8 in 2 games. Will take us about 8 games to score that!
Chelsea always seem to beat us even when in a mess. But we have to hope!
Solanke might be alright, but Xavi looks like he did his ACL.
Agree. I can see West Ham winning at Brentford and then us having to go to Villa a day later and losing.
We'll then be 5 points behind with 3 to play, as good as over.
Bowen with two assists today, we just have nobody on that level. A talisman who can drag this team to safety. Forest have MGW. We have nothing.
We completely fucked it by losing at home to Palace and Forest. Those were the games. Now, it seems if we win, the other teams down there do too.
