Crimson Cardigan Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Forest do have an easy run, but they are without some key attacking players now, have no experience of this kind of situation and their whole take-a-one-goal-lead-and-defend like-dogs approach is limited by nature. I think they’ll drop more points, though we’ll still have to be really on it to capitalise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I've forgiven Villa for that. We have common enemies to think about. We should be supportive of sides who are taking it to the cartel. As much as I don't like Everton, it's a matter of time before they start punching their way through the likes of Spurs and Man United too. I want the mere idea of "big six" dead and buried. Ive noticed that it's becoming talked about less and less too. You know what would really be sexy. If Spurs or Man United got relegated. With Spurs, it's becoming more and more a possibility IMO.

Roids Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 7+ points from the 3 upcoming home games and we'd be looking near locked in for Top 5 Won't be easy but the form and momentum favour us atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I am not overly concerned by them as they just have so much going on. Besides if we win our next two we will go into that Villa game with a nice 5 point cushion over them anyway . Thing is they have a squad. Real, genuine depth and Emery isn't shy of rotation. We all (us, Villa, Chelsea, Man City) have games against each other so you'd imagine points will be split across the board Don't think they fall off and it goes down to the wire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Win all of our home games and we’re on 68 points. 3 draws from the away’s and it’s the same number of points as 22/23 but we’ll prob need more points than last time due to the extra competition around us. We need to win at least one of the away games v Villa (preferably Villa), Brighton and Arsenal imo which won’t be easy.

New terminology will be replaced with it soon and an arbitrary start date to reinforce, because at end of the day, Sky etc will want to push narratives around games and it needs that. Big ‘8’ where they can hype up the Villa v Spurs game or Newcastle v Chelsea, where it wasn’t there few seasons back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Villa remind me a little of Liverpool when we finished 4th. They have the quality and depth to do it. They just have to be too good for too many games for it to be realistic. But we do need them to drop results asap. Funnily enough it was Villa’s Emery drawing with Liverpool that put the nail in the coffin and we did what we needed to do. I think we get the 68 points that we need. But I’d rather not need 3 points going into Arsenal and Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 5th has needed less than 70 points in all but 1 season over the last 15 years. That was the most top 6 season ever. It was like top 6 over 66 points. The midtable is too strong for that to happen again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddschecker already offer odds without the "Big 7", which has added us to the traditional 6. 3 hours ago, NSG said: Here’s hoping Brighton and Arsenal’s seasons have fizzled out by the time we rock up. We've beaten Arsenal three times this year without conceding a goal and they'll have Gabriel out. If we're pretty much full strength when we go there I'd fancy us to get something.

We've got a great wee stadium that if full can fit in about 12500. Our pitch at the moment is a bloody muddy disgrace. It's pretty embarrassing and non conductive to playing a quick passing game so it get the ball,punt it upfront and hope for the best lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagPar Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I though Scotland might have scraped into the top ten with celtic doing pretty good and Rangers qualifying automatically. Hearts let us down in a very average Conference league. F*ckin Edinburgh w*nktards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 If you told me at the start of the season that by week 30 we'd have won more games than Man City, we'd have more points than them and we definitely winning a trophy of some description, I'd be convinced we were winning the league.

They still have great players but are not playing as the team they were. The "its the KDB farewell tour" news did not motivate them either. 9 goals scored (joint fourth worst) in their last eight does not bode well for Chelsea, who needed Brentford to miss a couple of sitters to get a point. Villa improving, but still not convincing. Like Chelsea, if we avoid defeat to them, it will go a long way toward securing CL. Id actually quite like Villa to win the CL, they're likeable and there would be the bonus of them and Emery upstaging Liverpool. Poor Leicester fans, 9 defeats and not one solitary goal. Shame, as I quite like Leicester. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shush Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Every game is a cup final for us now. If we win them all 4th is in the bag. It's a big ask, but we can do it. CL football next year on top of getting a trophy is such a dream of a season. Makes the summer window huge for additions. If we can secure same quality levels as Tonali/Botman/Bruno/Isak etc. for positions we need strengthening then next season could be far better prepared to compete more consistently.

After that though we have just one game a week for the rest of the season. I think Eddie will get the players up for a huge CL qualification week.

As I've said, I'm a Dunfermline fan too. Our club captain died in 1997 due to carbon monoxide poisoning (least said about where it took place as it's a delicate one). To this day, we still hear F*lkirk fans singing "Where's your Norrie gone". Try forgiving that, it's never gonna happen. A few years later one of their young players died due to electrocution, we didn't make 1 derogatory remark about that poor kid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
