We were up against the best team on the planet and we more than held our own for 38 minutes. We can't ask for much more than that.

We now have two winnable games that are perhaps the two most important games in our club's history. Let's focus on them.

Sad to see Holgate booed off the pitch.

He had a desperately poor game (and had he put us 1-0 up as he should have done we might have got a point), but he's not trying to be crap.

And frankly booing a player is hardly going to boost their confidence and make them play better.

Nobody cares about Holgate's confidence. People simply do not want to see him in the shirt again.

I wouldn't boo him. But he's played himself out of the right to represent this club with his attitude and performances.
 
I do still think we'll go down, possibly even on goals scored which would be poetic justice for our board's refusal to provide us a striker for the season.

I see three more points for us, 4 for Leeds, and 3 for Leicester. That'd almost certainly relegate us.

Next games I see us losing to Wolves and Leeds drawing, so they'd at minimum be level on goal difference and with about 16 extra goals scored.

Leicester for me will be relegated before the final game, and Forest weil probably not lose to Arsenal and have a great chance against Palace.
 
Once Harry Kane is selected for Spurs on the last day against Leeds, I'll rest easy. It'll likely be his last game for the club. I reckon he fancies signing off with a goal or two.

I doubt it. It would mean Forest would have to win or draw two.

I could see them draw one, but I wouldn't bet on them getting two more points. They might, but I wouldn't fancy that at all.

Forest have goals and fight in them. 12 goals and 7 points from last 5 games and in those games they've had Brentford, Brighton, Chelsea, Liverpool and Forest. Their main striker has 4 goals in the last 2 games, and now they're coming up against a moral-sapped Arsenal and a Palace side where you'd say they're likely to be somewhere between not bothered at all and ready to go on holiday.

Everton and Leeds for me, with them having the slight advantage due to the fixture list.

Bournemouth won 4 on the spin against us (I think), and we'll find out if that Brighton game, as I fully expect, was just a completely freak result.
 
Your only worry about West Ham for me, is if they get knocked out of Europe.

Everyone keeps banging on about them being on the beach… well, I guarantee the last place they’ll be is on the beach if they reach the final, they’ll be absolutely flying and every single one will be fighting for a place in the starting XI. They’ll have two games to keep themselves sharp, as they’ve got a 9 day gap between final day and the final.

Just got to pray they beat AZ.

Well, if you're that certain about things I don't understand why you are posting in this thread. Stick a fork in us and save yourself the grief.

The reality is nobody has a clue who will drop. We are definitely in peril. I, like you, am not particularly optimistic, but I am not fatalistic either. We have two games where we need, probably, four points to get clear. My approach is take each game as it comes and avoid the mathematical Mystic Meg stuff. So, it's Leicester v. Liverpool first. If Liverpool win, we'll have survived a perilous weekend relatively unscathed (assuming DCL isn't crocked). A draw and it's been a poor weekend, but not a disastrous one. A Leicester win and I'll join you so we can check in together at the nearest mental hospital.

Exactly. A West Ham win will mean a club on a high playing with freedom.

had i dream last night 1-0 leicester,vardy.
doing a £5 double when i get the chance,
hope im wrong but cant rely on the rs for anything,
it doesnt feel right!
 
It would certainly be classic Everton to lose to Bournemouth, however we really can't ask for much more than a final game at home against a side with nothing to play for which we will likely need to win. If we can't beat them, then relegation would be deserved. I think West Ham will lose at least one of those games against Leeds/Leicester, so we need a minimum of a point from Wolves as well as all 3 on the final day and I reckon that would squeek us over the line.

I just see the momentum and that's huge at this stage of the season.

Forest with their goals and decent recent form, Leeds with a new manager and working hard and nicking a point against a top side in Newcastle, and Everton who've just been brought well and truly down to earth after one great victory.

But you're of course absolutely correct and it's silly to go mass predicting things, but that's what people do at this time of the season when they're panicking.

Liverpool for me is almost a guaranteed spanking of Leicester, and we have a chance to make us hot favourites to stay up if we can channel the spirit of Brighton when we come up against Wolves.
