Lose this and our season is over as far as promotion is concerned.Weโre all desperate for a result - manager and fans! The maximum number of points we could be off the play-offs would be 8 with 28 games remaining. Think about what you're saying for fuck sake. Edit: 38 games!

Hull are a good team. Twine is a player I would have loved to see at Stoke & Delap will be a handful. We need to go for it from the start, convert possession & pressure into goals & feed off the crowds energy. Iโm hopeful of a 2-1 win to get the season back on track Agreed, shame we couldn't reel him in! I guess he felt like we were stringing him along.

Think about what you're saying for fuck sake. 38 games left, but the season is already a write-off apparently Lose tomorrow and it might not be a write off but you've had a serious front end collision. Psychologically it will be a hammer blow with backbto back home defeats. And the natives will be getting restless. So yes in my view tomorrow it is crucial that we at the very least avoid a defeat. Lose tomorrow and it'll be played 8 won 2 drawn 1 and lost 5. No matter the way you chop that up with whatever excuses you like, it will represent an absolutely shit start to the season. No getting away from that.

He really needs three points tomorrow.

Factually of course 10th would be progress from 18th. Is that acceptable and seen as progress? Personally Iโm frustrated and bored with recurring comments/phrases like time to gel, his own players, played well but, next season. WTFโฆ..next season is defeatist and acceptance of second best Progress for me will be no less than top six with an opportunity to nick a promotion place. Perhaps Iโm overly frustrated with the last 6/7 yearsโฆ..

First goal is massive here, Hull for me are one of the better teams in this league, it would not surprise me at all if they made it in the play offs at least. IF we score first, I fancy us for 2-1, if they score first then I fear a real shitstorm.

These midday kick offs are shite. I'd agree if it wasn't Sunday the most boring day of the week, breaks it up nicely. bacon, cheese, mushroom oatcakes, several coffees and just like that it's time to get ready & go to watch the footy

Edit: 38 games!Good job nobody told Forest that two seasons ago. On the 24 September they were next to bottom with only Derby, who had had a 20 point deduction, below them. They had 4 points from eight games and were 9 points off the playoffs!

Playoffs would represent true tangible progress in my view anything less is another season much like the last 5 2007 we missed out on the play offs on the last day, the progress that season set us up for promotion the following season If we did the same this season I for one would definitely state that as progress finishing close to the play offs points wise imho would be clear progress Personally I think 10th would be progress but it would depend on how many points short that would look like Assuming 72/75 points required for the play offs looking for 65 points or more this season Another season like the last few years then he goes on May

Is Greaves out?
