Re: Forest points deduction appeal
Like we are, you mean? Yes. And Luton. And Forest. We’ve got an uphill task as things stand, but it becomes virtually impossible if Forest get their points back. The point is that kind of IF shouldn’t exist at this point. We should be able to say “x points from the last 3 games is likely to keep us...

Re: Forest points deduction appeal
Whether you have sympathy for Forest or not, no club should be in a situation where it has no real feel for how many points might be required to stay up with 3 games to go.

Re: Only 1 from 3 will survive !!!
I think we probably need to pick up 4 points before we play Forest to have any real chance and that’s assuming they don’t get some of their deducted points back this week. The upturn in form has been encouraging, but we may have left it a bit late and could have done with turning one of the recent d...

Re: Sheff Utd v Forest
There was a lot of talk a few months ago about Burnley being one of the worst sides in PL history. For Sheffield United it’s a genuine likelihood. Barring a miracle they look like they’ll surpass Swindon’s record for the most goals conceded in the PL era and possibly have one of the worst points tot...

Re: Chris Wood
Been terrible today, but he’s a perfect striker for a lower half PL club.
Not far off 70 PL goals and almost 1 in 3. He’s also been in double figures in 5 seasons.
If we had someone in double figures this season, we may well be out of the bottom 3.

Re: Nottingham Forest tweet
Bit of a stretch to suggest a) the VAR official was biased and b) he was biased against Forest in a game vs Everton. Only 1 point between them as the game kicked off. Both eminently catchable by Luton, particularly as Luton still have Everton to play.

Esteve’s a budding leader too. Whilst his teammates were celebrating the third goal he was going round them all telling them to focus (or something similar). Seen him do it quite a bit.
Nice to see. We don’t appear to have too many of those vocal leaders in the side.

He's a pretty ginormous one, even with the cock ups. The team is much more spread out in possession and we can stretch the pitch and pass out (minus the odd cockup) to much greater effect.
