We just need to be 2nd in our mini league between Brighton, Forest, Leicester and us.

How that might come about I couldn't give a feck.
Oh dear, I can see that going down a storm (viz.)
1 Cardiff
2 Hull
3 Watford
4 Crystal Palace
5 Leicester
6 Middlesbrough
7 Bolton Wanderers
8 Brighton
9 Nottingham Forest
Boro are on a slide big time. I don't think they will finish top 8 at the rate they are going.
If just over a month ago, you said by now we'd be 8th, you'd probably have been sectioned.

I think it's quite unpredictable. Frankly the biggest annoyance is Forest's run.

Without that, we'd have momentum and as the main challenge to Leicester and Brighton I'd half fancy us to sneak in.

Forest though have really put the cat amongst the pidgeons. We can clearly still do it, but might be having to chase down Leicester, which despite their poor form, could take some doing if they recapture any sort of form.

I think Forest will get 5th.

Then it's between us, Leicester and Brightonm for 6th.

Thanks for that :lol: brew went everywhere :lol:

I think we are different in the sense we have been declining for a few years now. Dougie has come along and sorted us out and we are on the rise again.

Other clubs like Boro and Leicester have been flying high all year and are now out of puff with no strength in depth.

In regards to Forest it's a hard one really. They have been up and down all season and its hard to tell if they are going to continue to push on under Davies or fall away. Will they be able to take the pressure? Failure is not an option according to the owners who want Sampions league in the next 5-6 years!

Odds I saw last night have Leicester in, with 6th between the 3 others

Forest were well on top against us, but once we'd scored I thought we were going to win it, til Alonsos sending off

Odds for a top 6 finish on Betfair, right now, are ...

Leicester 1.41
Brighton 1.91
N Forest 2.42
Bolton W 3.30
Leeds U 4.70
Middlesbrough 7.00

I'd be delighted with a draw and can see it finishing 1-1. Dont give a stuff if that affects our very limited promotion chances - I want Dougie to have a full season building his team, in his style, in the Championship. And then go up

I don't want us to settle for a draw. It'll mean we're still unbeaten, but if we defend like last week and kep them out, we can win again. Go for broke. Got to get out of the mentality of settling for anything. Win....

As I said before the Hull and Brighton games, " They are going to give us a right good tonking".

I don't go with all that superstitious nonsense, we will simply go there and win.

My lad's 15 and also 6'2. Weighs about 5 stone soaking wet. Needless to say he gets called a "lanky streak of p**s" when he plays football.

I suppose I should really call him by his name.
Hope is what keeps us going.

The Gods of football appear to be looking favourably on the Reebok tonight with Peterborough, and Barnsley winning and Leicester only drawing with Cardiff.

Would take a Barnsley and Leeds draw with Leicester winning, especially when you look at Leicesters' last five games. Mentally Brighton and Leeds will look at tonight as points lost not gained.
