Fingers crossed - sounds very hopeful...
RE: Is Promotion Still Possible? - Salvatore Matrecano - 26-01-2019
There are 18 games left.
75 points is average for top 6 finish so we are 36 away. That is a minimum 10 wins and a few draws.
Realistically one of those 10+wins has to be today.

1 down, 9 wins to go
42 points achieved, 33 points required to get to 75, 54 points still available, 17 games left
Norwich v Sheff utd drew which helps
Derby, West Brom and Middlesboro shooting their bolt into the fa cup

Outside shot at best.
But a better chance than we've had since early Dec
RE: Is Promotion Still Possible? - Camms - 29-01-2019
Yes, we can still do it.
We need a couple of quality signings over the line though in the next 48 hours.
RE: Is Promotion Still Possible? - Mcforest - 30-01-2019
one win down only 11 more wins from 17 required.

Top 6 would be amazing, I am going with Salvatore's calculations .. 75 points .. would be a fine achievement regardless of whatever doors it opens … Wembley … PL who knows, but 75 points even if it was 7th I would be totally content with
Very difficult to visualise 75 points not being top 6, possibly wouldn't need that many hence Salvatore calculatoing '10 wins and a few draws', though 6th place last season was .. 75 points
Prior to Wigan, it was exactly 12 wins, 36 points required to get us to 75 points
1 win achieved, 11 wins needed out of 17 games … mmmm looks difficult but
Next 3, Birmingham away, Brentford at home and West Brom away …
I think we need 2 or 3 signings in the next 25 hours

So do you feel promotion is back on with those signings
RE: Is Promotion Still Possible? - ThePromisedLand - 31-01-2019
Er No - but I’ve been resigned to another season in the EFL since the Reading defeat.
RE: Is Promotion Still Possible? - Mcforest - 31-01-2019
No I don't. I personally feel the signing are done to stop us falling below halfway. But they are not signings of team wanting to push for top 6. All loans so they know they are not going to be here next season anyways.
Was a nice dream while it lasted and here is hoping for a better next season.

The pele fella may be good - bonatini is decent. The centre half has been cover and was at Leicester: could it be that he knows Benalouane already so can slot in quickly? Then the Swedish chap who comes highly regarded and O’Neill has on trial at Celtic.
Not bad - but I am an eternal optimist.

I think it's the lack of wow factor.
I feel conflicted tonight because I'm underwhelmed, but at the same time not pessimistic.
Technically we've tightened defence, allegedly improved midfield & added options up front, so on paper we're stronger but without a "stellar signing" it doesn't have an x factor to fuel the imagination & make you, as a fan, feel that improvement, even though you knew it's there.
Yeah. But that's just the sexy thing, isn't it which 'wow' and big money and a 'big name' and all that.
Villa have Ming. But they paid and will pay for it.
Forest have done a lot of business today in all the areas they really needed it. Cleared a lot out this window.
Forest got Car' for £13 million. Very sexy...except over the Christmas period he didn't set the world alight. That's football. Benu we got for 'no fee' and he's performed well ok at CH. Same with the other signings, CHs, CM and a striker. I'd suggest we've traded up or plugged areas our squad just doesn't have or hasn't got depth.
And it's the tune MoN can get out of them. Can't discount that.
Forest have huffed and puffed all season long.
Let's see what's next with added steel and feistiness. All along the spine of the side, note..!
