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. Yet a number of people already wrote off the season before a ball had been kicked, accepting 10th would be progress! And I should think what I’m saying!!!!! 10th would be progress though, from 15th, 17th whatever position we've finished in these past few years. I think what creates the 'playoffs or bust' mentality is watching bog-average, no-mark teams, scratching in or around the playoffs, it's happening almost every season. And it makes you think 'why not us?'. Which I fully get. Whilst 10th isn't a particularly exciting or ambitious aim, I think that coming at it the other way, it's the bare minimum position that the manager should get judged by.

Win today and be 3 points off the playoffs after a remarkably average start and a lot of players still needing to gel

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! Middlesbrough last season similar. We see it every year in this league but that doesn't fit the melodrama. Go and have a look where all four of last year's Play-Off teams were in November.

It'll be great to see this game. 5-1 it is. But we have to wait until Hoever, Jun-Ho and Vidigal comes on.

It's already a big improvement. Top 6 is what I'm hoping for though.

Lose today and I think AN is in deep trouble, rightly or wrongly. Hull only lost 1 in 7, win will not be easy.

Only just got in so sorry if already mentioned. If I was Nathan Lowe’s agent or his Dad, I’d be telling Nathan not to hang around if you have a manager who picks the useless Gayle and drops you from the bench. He ( Neil) has had Nathan on the bench regularly and hardly given him any game time. Meanwhile, Gayle plunders a living and misses everything most decent strikers would bury. Neil, you’re a …….

I was just thinking how well Leroy Rosenior appears to have aged before I realised the dude in charge of Hull is his son. You know when you're getting old!
