Imagine in August 2024 we got handed the following as a scenario for our season: - Win the Carabao cup - Win v Everton at SJP final day for CL qualification We'll get the job done

Agreed, never understood this one myself. Should be able to attend a game sober and create an atmosphere still!

Friend in the graphic design world who has had jobs with premier league itself/clubs prior. Don't want to come across as that ITK wanker mind

Already done apparently. PL ruling that clubs have to ask fans for input - hence email today. Same/very similar badge but freshened up/modernised. Similar to Norwich badge rebrand.

Isak motivation - deny us CL and they'll think they can sign him.

Agree. Rogers Konsa Ait-Nouri Cunha Dibling Obviously some more attainable than others there.

Start Willock again for the left channel. Double up with Gordon/Willock on our attacks. Fans get Caicedo an early booking and just get Gordon the ball. For the fear around Chelsea winning 3 on bounce in the league they beat Everton by 1 and hung on, beat Fulham last minute and beat a Liverpool team that wasn't THE Liverpool team. Their away form is very patchy to say the least. Into these

Beat Ipswich at home and don't worry about anything after that. Get points on the board and see how the others do under the pressure of being 4-5 points adrift of us. Everton have a result in them under Moyes, lets hope they frustrate Chelsea to a 0-0 Saturday lunchtime ahead of our game.

3/4 nil They won't fancy this one bit

Avoid defeat here and i think its done in terms of CL. We'll go there to win the game though the confidence is sky high amongst the first 11 (+Gordon).

His crossing ability has been the most impressive improvement for me

He's like a seasoned pro with a football brain that's been there done it for 20+ years playing. Then has the best physicality attributes i've seen from any midfielder we've ever had. Passing range, weak foot, hell of a strike on him. Genuinely doesn't have a weakness?

Exactly what you want from your striker.

Lost 4 in 15 away from home Palace. Not sure where 2 came from. 6 wins 5 draws 4 losses 3 of final 4 away games Newcastle, Arsenal, Liverpool. Wouldn't get too hooked up on the stats that they're amazing away from home, they're not.

Feels similar to the Brentford with the talk around their away form etc. Brentford won 5 on bounce away from home before coming to SJP

Yep, posted the table as a supplement rather than a caveat. Fancy us at home against anyone, when we're on our game no one can match us with the crowd.

Is he on the Isak level? In terms of ability for their own position?

Through Jan/Feb early March they hit good form but they've stumbled of late. Collapsed at City letting up loads of huge chances (could've been 8 genuinely). Draw at Saints in a very dull game Beat Brighton at home but outplayed and a really low xG if you're into that stuff

Yes. Well known this is a mutual agreement with Forest to loophole PSR with the Anderson deal. A Man United fan cannot be coming at us for recruitment policies/contract structure I'd argue we're top 3 in the league for both the above since the takeover.

The contract was part of the business though. Always held a resale value.

Would fancy us to beat Chelsea at home regardless of what they do in their other fixtures. City have the easiest run in can't seem them missing out. Forest have started the wobble. We're the opposite and have won 18 out of the last 23 games.

Eriksen Ugarte in a 2 facing up Bruno Joelinton Tonali please let it happen

Do you think you'll rotate? I'd expect so given season rests totally on EL now?

'poor performance' It was really routine and 2nd half just did enough to keep them at arms length while resting our better players.
