Unbelievable Posted December 29, 2024 Share Posted December 29, 2024 3 minutes ago, timeEd32 said: I keep assuming Forest will fall away and I still think they won’t sustain this but they are building quite the cushion. 13 points clear of Spurs and 6-7 points from 6th pending tomorrow’s results. Liverpool, Brighton, City, Arsenal, Man United, and Chelsea all at home too. Aye, they're in crazy good form. Hopefully the pressure will get to them at one point. Imagine missing out on CL due to Forest having a one in a thousand chance wonder season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts is that when a team has punched way above their weight for the entire first half, there's a very good chance they won't slow down. So much momentum nd confidence. They can even afford a down period, just like the other current top 4 teams (in terms of getting into CL). Edited December 29, 2024 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted December 29, 2024 Share Posted December 29, 2024 I’d be very happy for them to finish in the top 5, just not at our expense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 Didn't realise the 5th spot has a 97.8% chance of being a CL spot. Thats all but confirmed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 That cheeky cunt Carragher saying with it being a top 5 Forest might be disappointed if a team like us pips them for that 5th spot, although they'd be honoured to get overhauled by Chelsea, Arsenal or Man City.

There's not 19 games in a season, in the cold light of day Forest will be delighted with any European football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 Wouldn't surprise me if the current top 6 are the top 6 come May, different order but same teams. City will improve on the first half points haul, Arsenal will be pretty flat, Chelsea will stumble, Forest will hit a sticky patch, Liverpool will lose 6 games and we'll be perfect to win the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 We can genuinely make this season our own. At the moment it's Liverpool and then everything else is up for grabs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 (edited) Think we are reliant on the bulk of this starting eleven staying fit and avoiding too many suspensions etc. You take Isak, Tonali or Bruno out and I think our form suffers. But if we can keep them all available, then sky's the limit. Edited December 31, 2024 by alexf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That in itself is no issue but then what happens if Hall is also out and then Isak is out at the same time. Like you say, we're only 2 or even 1 (Isak) big injury away from scrambling around in 8th/9th again very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say, we're only 2 or even 1 (Isak) big injury away from scrambling around in 8th/9th again very quickly. Exactly that. Our first XI would legit get in most of those combined XI teams against anyone in the league, but our squad as a whole is barely top 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got a tricky patch of games coming up. They play alot of teams in the top 8 in the next 10 games. In fact I think just Wolves (in good form currently) in their next game and Southampton after that aren't current top 8 teams in their next 10 games. If they are still top 4 by end of January that will be hugely impressive and then I might start to think they can continue it until end of season.

nufc4eva Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Never thought we would be so close to top 4 after lack of transfers in summer and way we were playing earlier in season. Need to keep that momentum now and put huge gap between us and Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 To make the top 5 we need cover for isak in this season, we have at least another 25 games to play can't expect him to play them all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Once we get Spurs out of the way we'll have 10 at Home and only 8 Away left to play. 32 points at halfway means 64 at the end of the season but given the extra homes there's no reason we can't aim for 70ish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
