Stottie Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Three season ends under Eddie Howe. 21/22 P10 W6 D0 L4 Pts 18 22/23 P10 W5 D3 L2 Pts 18 Final game was dead rubber draw at Chelsea after sealing CL with nervy draw vs. Leicester 23/24 P10 W6 D2 L2 Pts 20 Massive plaudits to Eddie for working em hard but keeping it going at the business end of the season. The same again, say 18, would do very nicely and get us to 65 points. I reckon that would be enough. Edited March 23 by Stottie bad grammar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Our game against Man Utd is the weekend between their quarter final games in Europa League. Villa the weekend after their 2nd game in CL. Chelsea the weekend after their semi final in conferance(if they get there). Arsenal probably will have secured 2nd and lost the chance to the title by the time we play them. Think our schedule might end up being alot easier than it looks on paper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be asking some as we've not been as solid at home this season, but win five of the six home games and win at Leicester and we're there. For what it's worth I don't think we will win five but I think we'll pick up more than three points in the road. Forest look good to me and you can never bet against Man City, but Chelsea have a tough run and aren't in form. Villa too are distracted and a bit up and down. It might be sides like Brighton, Bournemouth or Fulham we have to shake off to get fifth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted Saturday at 11:37 Share Posted Saturday at 11:37 Would actually be massive if Bournemouth beat Man City in the FA Cup this weekend. Suddenly you potentially have Forest or Brighton, Villa, Bournemouth, and Fulham all distracted by a trip to Wembley and their biggest chance to win a trophy for at least a generation.

Optimistic Nut Posted yesterday at 05:06 Share Posted yesterday at 05:06 Man Utd under Mourinho when they finished 6th, are the only club since Swansea in 2013 to win the League Cup and not qualify for the Champions League through the league in the same season. Even they were in the CL the next season due to winning the Europa League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted yesterday at 06:21 Share Posted yesterday at 06:21 Was there any news on Chris Woods hip injury? Wouldn’t wish a long term injury on him at all but if he misses several games that’s not ideal for Forest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted yesterday at 19:44 Share Posted yesterday at 19:44 (edited) Yes Marmoush is class, but still, you’d rather Haaland not be fit for them in the run in. Edited yesterday at 19:44 by Fenham Mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it's better for us if those 3rd/4th/5th spots are between Forest/Chelsea/Man City & us but I'd like to see Forest batten down 3rd. Bit of a gamble in my head like but if we do get in as well that's 2 places the cartel aren't in. Cunts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Don’t ask me why, but I stupidly listened to the True Faith podcast yesterday. On it they were in unanimous agreement that they’d rather be in our league position that Forests, because it’s “better to be the hunter than be hunted”. Aye, being on 54 points is worse than being on 47 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Would be nice but all about self-preservation for me. If they slip up tonight then Villa away on Saturday becomes a sod for them. We do our part those two games and the gap is almost wiped out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, being on 54 points is worse than being on 47 To be fair I think the point was made that “if” we won our game in hand it’d only 4 points which gives something to chase.

Yeah I think they’ll be fine now but tonight is key for them because as you say if they slip up and then go into that Villa game they could come unstuck. The Wood injury is key for them too.
