They seem to be chuffed witht heir late equaliser. They were speculating who would be the better side in the prem next year, them or Fulham. And last night I saw one from directly after their draw last night. They were utterly pumped after coming back from 3 down. Fair enough, they did well to do that but they seem completely oblivious to the fact that there's a steaming great juggernaut coming up behind them.
They mentioned next Tuesdays game. Its a game they can and ought to win apparently.
Not just the fans thinking they should win but even Scott Parker said our game against them is irrelevant. The post match interview with him just scream of we are to good to lose against forest or the other teams so we are up.

Looking at Bournemouth form, I really don't see them winning the next 3 games.
Gives us and Hudders hope.

I think what bothers me is we could win all 3 games and still not get 2nd on goals scored. We really need a big win on Saturday and Swansea are shipping goals.

Apparently Keifer Moore came on and bullied them last night. He's a lad we all know about so you cant really criticise too much but Swansea might prefer to play against our forwards rather than him. Its a tough game. Being a time served Forest fan I'm still waiting for a wheel to fall off. I hope Saturday isnt the game.

Worth noting in the event we beat Bournemouth there would be a minimum 2 goal swing towards us. I think as much as we want goals Saturday, we'll not have the energy to smash them. I would just focus on trying to get the win and if possible resting players for the Bournemouth game.
And relentlessly refreshing the Bournemouth score at Blackburn

Surely we cant be resting players Wassy. This next game is the biggest of the season as its the next game. No point in resting players and risking winning the game. Every game is massive now until the season ends.

We'll need to watch him against them, though I'd like to think that between whichever three of our centre-halves play they can manage him.
He is the kind of lump we've struggled with before though.

Sorry I meant during the game, as in get a few goals ahead and take Johnson etc off if we can get away with it.

We did an excellent job on Mitrovic last night, he was a bit part player for the most part.

We did, but Moore is different. He's more that Matt Smith type of lump.

Bournemouth only one win in their last six games, tough three games left for them, it could happen that they get nil points in those games.

Hopefully Millwall will win on Saturday so they've still got something riding on their final match.
Based on Bournemouth's current form it's not a massive stretch of the imagination to see them not winning another match. There's a scenario where we could fail to beat them next Tuesday but still overtake them.
