Tonalis was harder...

[Stottie]

Nearly a Kompany (or Schar) special there.

[Unbelievable]

Not the demoralising Forest defeat that look nailed on after 20 minutes

I'm just very conscious of the fact we still need to go to Villa Park. Lost that one, and it's a distinct possibility considering how good they are, and it's 3 (theoretical) points wiped out in 90 mins. 

 

Still fancy us to do it but couldn't give a single shit whether it's 3rd, 4th or 5th. Makes literally no difference to me

Is 5th place nailed on a UCL place?

Pretty much aye

Good game, fun watch, especially second half

Aw aye, don't care about 3rd, 4th, or 5th either, it's more about dragging another team into it.

[duo]

Get in

[TBG]

Bought Emery some time. Pressure now on Nuno.

[JigsawGoesToPieces]

Morgan Gibbs White is a right whingy cunt like complains about eveeything.

[LionOfGosforth]

Forest pay the price for a terrible opening 20 minutes when they were all at sea, deserved at least a point

[Yorkie]

Annoying result but conversely it keeps us on our toes. Need to go into Leicester like we're facing Liverpool.

I think I'm more concerned with staying ahead of others rather than catching teams above us. I'd snap arms off at the shoulder for 5th right now 

Doesn't harm the teams above us losing though

If Villa win this and we win our games in hand we're 5 points clear of them with a hefty schedule for them coming up.

If if if 

 

I want as few clubs involved as possible.

Cracking 2nd half. Really enjoyed that. 

[LionOfGosforth]

Gutsy side Forest, more impressed by them in defeat today than i've been watching them win sometimes this year

[Ronaldo]

I think that may be the best result for us. Forest can’t keep fluking 1-0 wins for the rest of the season. They’re going to lose at least 3 of their remaining 7.

 

I’m sticking with my call. 66 or 67 points will do it. 

[Newcastle Fan]

It's good when teams around us play each other because it seems whatever the outcome there is some positive from it.

Yeah I thought they were really good second half TBF to them. Murillo is their best player by a mile.

[The Prophet]

Good game.

 

Always felt like Villa would win that, it's one Forest could afford to lose.

 

As ever we need to focus on ourselves, if we win the next three we're right in contention for 3rd.

Not all that impressed by Villa like, especially since that was their 6th win in a row. They were really good for 25 minutes, got 2 goals while Forest were all over the shop, then had to rely on luck, good keeping and the woodwork to not lose by 2 or 3. Nothing to fear when we play them away if we setup right and are on it.

Forest will definitely finish with more than 67 points IMO. I know what you mean about riding their luck but they've done it all season - it's not going to stop now.

Yep, think Forest get around 70 points, 3 winnable home games and a couple of away games where there's 4-6 there for them.

[Erikse]

Looking at the last few seasons 65 points is usually enough for 5th place. If that's the case, Forest will need 8 points from these games

 

 

I think it's naive at best to think that they will lose 4 of these games. Even then they'll get 66 points if they win the other 3. They are fighting for their lives, while most of these opponents are thinking about what to do in their summer holiday (an exaggeration, but you get the point).

If Villa were to finish above us it would be down to us having season ending form that wouldn’t get us fifth anyway. They’re not a concern if we take care of ourselves. Forest though are out of our hands currently but they are very much at risk of dropping out
