Sky Sports EFL pundit Andy Hinchcliffe has revealed his amazement that Nottingham Forest are still involved in the promotion race this season, dubbing Sabri Lamouchi's high-flying side as "not good enough".
The former Everton and Sheffield Wednesday man was speaking to Sky's EFL Podcast on Monday afternoon when he was asked to rate the chances of Premier League football returning to Trentside next season - but showed little faith in Lamouchi's men.
"I am amazed that they're still up there," he continued. "If you look at how they actually play, and all the science behind it, it is incredible that they are maintaining this top six challenge.
"I can't ever see them finishing in the top two. They are not consistent or good enough to do that''.
I'm beginning to get a pissed off with all this now. I know it's doing us a favour being under the radar and all that, but after 10 years of being no-ones, I'd quite like a bit of respect from the media for once. We've been to Fulham and won, beaten Brentford home and away, won away at Swansea, drawn at Leeds, drawn at Bristol. Apart from West Brom (where Muric handed them the win) none of the current top 10 has yet managed to beat us. What more does this team have to do to earn a bit of respect?
I feel your pain Pap, but in all honesty, what does it matter what the media think of us?
We had the same issues when we won the Div 1 title. Even up to a couple of games before we drew with Coventry, they were waiting for our 'bubble to burst'! The same when we won the European Cup, the likes of the BBC (Bob Wilson, John Mottson and Jimmy Hill) were writing off our chances.
What did we do? we went and won the titles and the cups and then laughed at the bastards.
