Hope we get an early goal to settle us down and allow us to play in less pressurised situation.

^ this. The longer the game goes on, the more nervous the ground will become. This will be increased if news of a Bournemouth goals comes in. 

A nice goal before the 15th minute would be lovely please lads!

Not sure how everyone is feeling but I'm getting more nervous now before every game and those nerves start straight after the last game!

I hear what you all say but Swansea have let three goal leads slip against Reading and Bournemouth, so even if we do go behind we should still get right behind them, especially as this team never knows when it’s beaten

I’m fully expecting Blackburn to be a strong test for Bournemouth, especially now that Brereton appears fit again. Even if Blackburn lose, I’m hoping it will be a draining match for the Bournemouth players

Please take this positivity to everyone around you in the ground! We can do this!

I'm feeling nervous too. For a team looking at auto promotion, with our record over the last 5 months, this should be a routine win. No problem. But, you know...

I know that everything should be in our favour. We are on great form, Swansea are leaking goals, we are at home. It all should go according to plan! But, I've supported Forest long enough to know it rarely goes according to plan! Still, again, it all seems different this season, under Cooper.

I will be singing my throat raw and getting behind the team no matter what. I just can't help being nervous!

I don't know what I'm going to be like in that Hull ground if we have a chance at automatic promotion on that last day

I'm not allowing myself to even think about that! And I'm really not looking forward to Tuesday night at all. I found watching the Fulham game from my armchair complete torture. It was like all my hopes and dreams of the last 25 years were dependent on every kick of the ball on that pitch in London. After we scored when Bournemouth were losing I said to my missus that I wished the next two hours of my life could completely disappear.

I was fine until Bournemouth started scoring, I think Saturday was worse. Tuesday could be brutal or glorious, it's not too dissimilar to a playoff final except its at Bournemouth. Got to get there first though, could be 6 points behind by then. 

I think focus on Saturday, try to enjoy it and worry about Tuesday next week.

I think you're right. Try to enjoy it. We watch football for enjoyment. This is a good thing. We want Forest to win and they're winning. Think positive. Nothing can go wrong. It's in our hands. Swansea, no problem. 







But what if.........

[Shawoddyred]

We could really do with this being a 'routine' win! Improve the goal difference, bring off 3 of our key players (or at least where we don't have much squad depth) as early as possible, ready for Tuesday night!

That's the Carlsberg scenario for me! Basically irrelevant what Bournemouth do if we can achieve the above.
