Leemond Posted April 20, 2025 Share Posted April 20, 2025 I think we're over the worst of it now. The main issue we have is squad depth. However, we play once every 7 days. Should be no issue with fatigue now. It's ours to lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 20, 2025 Share Posted April 20, 2025 Uncomfortable with needing to beat Chelsea. They're not particularly good but I want to know that a draw would be ok. Just mad that in 24 hours it's gone from "one point at Villa and we're nearly there" to "shit, this could genuinely go either way" Always had Chelsea today down as a draw, so there's two points lost. Howay, City Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vila are reliant on others dropping points as they have the worst goal difference. Their odds will change drastically if they beat City. As it stands they have the smallest margin for error.

midds Posted April 20, 2025 Share Posted April 20, 2025 You just know both Brighton, Everton and Arsenal will be desperate to throw a stick in our wheels too. Can't think we have many clubs who dislike us more and would love to see us fail, comes with the territory though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted April 20, 2025 Share Posted April 20, 2025 Brighton away is the one I'm most nervous about. I think we will hopefully have too much for Ipswich. Also believe we'll turn up for the Chelsea game fingers crossed I think we lose away to arsenal and beat Everton final day. So I think we have to get maximum points away to Brighton. Everyone else's fixtures look far kinder than ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 20, 2025 Share Posted April 20, 2025 (edited) Given one is against Chelsea, winning our home games should still be enough. Hopefully we make things more comfortable with a win at Brighton too. Edited April 20, 2025 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted April 20, 2025 Share Posted April 20, 2025 Every model I’ve done of the run in says that 66 pts will be enough. So two wins and a draw. But it’ll be proper nervy. 3 wins will 99% be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUICE690 Posted April 20, 2025 Share Posted April 20, 2025 I wouldn't pay much attention to their form / league position. Brighton always seem up for it against us. Real bogey team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That puts them both on 68 and 67. Forest have the likes of Leicester,West Ham and Spurs, you couldn't really hand pick three better games at this point.

Perhaps on GD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelofTheFourth Posted April 20, 2025 Share Posted April 20, 2025 I think we are all underestimate these teams. The way I see it is they are more likely to win every game than lose every one. This week literally shows it. There's too many teams willing to just bend over and let others win. Even wolves have managed a good run. We have to aim to win every game. The thinking of 'we can afford to drop points in this game' is what got forest sitting outside the top 5 right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novocastrian Posted April 20, 2025 Share Posted April 20, 2025 I know we’ve had a chastening weekend but other clubs will drop points. I can’t see any of our rivals posting a 100% record. We’ve just got to win our home games and try and get something from Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
