Next Few Games

[Strawberry Avenger]

Agree with SA, it's always a game at a time, but you cannot go into games thinking that 10 points out 15 is good.
With whom we are going to loose points? You can try to guess but not sure, we won points against teams that we thought we never stood z chance to get any nx we lost points against teams that we thought were a banker.
So we always have to target to win all points from each game, nd not say , it's ok to get a draw against this team as long as we win against the other...we r not that good ... at present its seems only Liverpool can go in nd win all games...no matter who the adversaries are.

Unless Forest bringing in another 5 higher quality players there is no 'should.'  Merely the 'chance' they might win if they perform well.

Football in the Championship is 1 game at a time.  Few teams manage to win six in a row.  It's up and down.  It's been a while since Forest have been an overwhelming force.  Campbell and Pierre?  They could do with another striker to keep Grabban company, share the load.

Wigan.  In recent times, Forest have struggled against Wigan.  Can anyone remember a time where we beat them convincingly..?  To add insult.  They've been in the Premier more recently and managed to stay there.  

Having confidence is one thing.  You have to have self belief.  But Forest should put that into the performances.  Not say 'We should beat these...'  Focus on earning the right.  Performing well.  They were believing their own hype when it was only a matter of time before the loss of Sow would take it's toll.  ie.  A DCM of a mid 30s Watson and rookie recruit Yates was going to be touch and go to maintain a top 6 place and eventually Forest gave way to 9th.

Nathan Tyson is playing for Mansfield, now.  Random fact.

As for the old enemy.  They've waited 30 years for a title and most of that wait, we've been out the Premier on the great exodus.

Yes.  You have to target a win but put that energy into playing your best....not thinking 'it's in the bag' (which the 'should' presumes.) Forest have been taking their performances for granted of late and it showed in the results. You have to earn the right against Wigan as well as the 'top' teams (of which there are quite a few in the Championship.)

I think Forest's progress against the likes of Wigan (and other 'bottom' teams or other teams in the Championship) is inextricably linked to Sow (don't quite have enough imposing players of his nature in the team who can intimidate and dominate and penetrate the opposition. He has that raw aggression and quality to back it up.) And if can't be relied upon through injury. Then recruitment in January is essential to have that base covered.

SA.
