For the other three we should have addressed our deficiencies by signing at least two quality players, so helping us to capitalize on three reasonable easy fixtures. We cannot keep throwing points away...we threw away more then enough...notably the two late draws of late nd the defeat v Huddersfield... that we should have at least got a point of ...that is 5 points ...nd I m not even looking further back the season...
It's opportunity for points. If the Coach gets his tactics right. If Forest are solid. If Forest take their chances.
The recent run demonstrates it's all about what happens on the day.
IF Sow stays fit. He made all the difference vs Hull. 'Should' Forest get '12' points from those games if he doesn't play...? The previous run suggests Forest have missed him and need further reinforcement.
SA.
Aye. What we hope for and what we achieve remain to be seen.
I remain hopeful, Maltared.
The key is addressing our home form (we need to) and holding the away form. ie. Becoming consistent. The last 7 before Hull were shocking. The worst form in the top 9?
Here's hoping Hull remains a turning point. We neutralised their two best players and proved a point. Especially our Coach who showed he aint stupid and that he knows what he's doing but the players have got to step up and do this every game.
Forest have thrown away enough points to see them 3rd or 2nd. Against 'easy' teams which has been, well, rather annoying. Frustrating. Or 'beatable' teams if you have top 6 aspirations.
A top 6 is possible if Sow stays fit. I remain less convinced without him. Yes, Malta. It's the midfield, AGAIN! Reinforcements are necessary to maintain the top 6 and have the potency to chase Leeds for 2nd. DCM, Winger. Striker. Bare minimum. Two strikers would be prudent...and a more dominant ACM who holds up and presses play and offers guile of delivery. Power. Pace. Guile.
A home win is essential. I'm just looking at the Wigan game and thinking, it's about time we beat one of the bottom 3 sides. And not bottling it.
That we 'give it to Wigan' with or without lubrication.
