The simulations for us to get 6th spot requires us to win 6 of the remain 8 games 1 draw and 1 defeat, results includes beating Middlesbrough and stealing 6th on goal difference. I think this shows how big of a gap 4 points is right now. The expected total for 6th place as it stands is 73-74 points.
When you put it like that...

A win will give us a very honest answer.

Are we clutching at straws?
Maybe.
I think the international break will give Forest a shake. It has done most times.
It gives a chance for the injured and jaded players to get some rest or a grip (in some cases...).
Players like Grabban and Cash (both goal scorers) have been mightily missed.
With '8'? games left? However many it is. Grabban and Cash back is perfectly timed. Getting them back into the team is essential.
SA.
Hope you are right SA. They are both back in the team today. That is a huge boost for us. It's now or never...

Got minutes into Cash and Grabban today.
Fans didn't like the Murphy on for Grabban sub.
But he got the goal, eh? And he brought us back from the dead.
SA. :cool:

Murphy as a last 20 minute man is perfect at his age and stage of his career. Just not starting week in week out. Glad he scored.

True.
And that's all it has to be.
Especially if it gets the result.

I take it we want a draw in tonights game in hand match?
Or maybe a Bristol city win looking at middlesbourgh's remaining games.

A draw would surely be the best result for us. Bristol City will still have another game in hand after tonight.
RE: Is Promotion Still Possible? - wassy04 - 02-04-2019
Draw takes a point off the board so I guess that would be best

I agree SA but we also need the form of both Villa and Wednesday to take a nosedive. Fingers crossed...
I think if we meet Villa in the play offs. It will be all over. That's the 2nd hurdle.
So, yes. We'll need the Villa and Wed' to nose dive.
I don't see that happening.
Note. Boro', in the play offs all season pretty much? Are out of them?
Replaced by? Villa.
Who's going to be replaced next? Derby. By Wed?
I'm not sure it will be us.
There's two spots up for grabs with WBA's recent revival putting them out of reach?
Villa.
Derby.
Boro' have started cracking. Derby have had their wobble and hold grimly on to 6th.

Bristol City 1-0 up at Boro.
RE: Is Promotion Still Possible? - ozzyten10 - 02-04-2019
Bristol will not keep this up
