Obviously got to go for the win, but with a nicer run of fixtures after this, I'd probably not be too disappointed with a draw provided we play well and don't pick up any injuries/suspensions.

On the plus side we've won the game of the three we really had to (just), and recent results have generally gone our way, so we're only two points outside of the Champions League places with a nicer (on paper) run of games ahead.

Think my only visit was the 1-0 cup win with Stevie Watson playing up front and scoring the winner. I'm probably one of the few NUFC fans with a 100% record at Anfield 😂

I know they've lost their last two, but I'd be stunned if Bournemouth finished nine points behind us come season's end.

Forest staying in our hotel. Just bumped into Elliot Anderson at reception.

That was a really poor film.

If I were a betting man I'd have put money on Bournemouth getting a Champions League place after witnessing them against us last month. I haven't changed my opinion since. Weve got more chance of finishing above Forest or Chelsea than them. I also don't think Villa have enough. My gut says us in 6th. Realistically we need to go at least 8-3-2 to have a chance of fifth. We'll definitely be in Europe though. Just not sure which comp.

I'm up for this game after Brighton and Bournemouth, so we'll find out whether I'm a jinx, or it's third time lucky.

That last save I celebrated like an NUFC goal. Unbelievable. I joked last night I wanted Plymouth at home in the next round. Ha ha! Well done the Pilgrims.

I'm supposed to be working. Done nowt for the last twenty mins.

Brentford is later, in April. Think he'll be involved but there might also be some horses for courses, with Miley getting some game time if we are under the cosh and need to retain possession. I was defending Willock massively last season as I thought he was integral to the fourth place finish, and I get the point he needs minutes, but I'm still thinking that yesterday was against a lower league opposition so I'm not getting too excited yet. Loved his movement for the winner though.

I love Krafth as he's so dependable. I was a right-back/right centre-half too and I really appreciate him. Should absolutely be getting a new contract (probably two years) if he wants it this summer. Will get a lot more minutes next season if we get into Europe.

That must have been Ted. He used to say that 😂 Around the edge of the box at the Gallowgate end?

They are, apart from the keeper Peacock-Farrell, who is prone to the odd blunder and not good with his feet when pressed. Mind you, we've got Pope.

Burn never gets a rest. I swear if the bomb ever drops there'll just be him and the cockroaches left.
