Next Few Games

ONE....GAME....AT.....A......F@(KING.......TIME.... PLEASE.

Personally think spurs game is more winnable than Everton now Dyche got his feet under the table there.

Spurs are proper odd team, can't believe they are in the top 4.

That's 4th place Spurs away who just beat City at home a few weeks ago or 17th placed Everton at home where we are unbeaten in the league since September. I get Spurs aren't amazing but the Everton is way more winnable.

Dyche has started well obviously the bounce has worn off by the time we play them. They've got Arsenal away before our game weirdly which is good for us too. They've tightened up a bit as you'd expect but still don't have many goals in them.

Its also the Spurs who got rolled over by Leicester. As i say, it wouldnt surprise me if we get a result there.

Everton, toon, spurs before the break, 4 points would be canny..

This is the business end of this little run, the part where we need to pickup points.

Unlikely to get much at Spurs, their home record is very good and they seem to be on a solid run of late (since Conte hasn't been around...) However, it is after their champs league game so a chance they are a bit tired.

Two home games, obviously Everton is huge but I'd also fancy us in the Friday night game vs Newcastle. They've not been as good recently, partly as Bruno was injured, and will still be on a comedown after losing at Wembley. Ironically, I thought Shelvey and even Wood would've made excellent subs yesterday in the final and would've definitely got on the field!

So, Forest on 26 points and 38 reasonable for survival - 12 needed.
The home games v Wolves, Brighton and Southampton are going to be critical.
The sooner they're back at full strength the better, to nick a few draws against the rest.

It could also be all over before Man Utd too, that would be a relief.
Coops could switch focus to next seasons XI.

Tottenham (A)      
Newcastle (H)      
Wolves (H)          
Leeds (A)           
Aston Villa (A)     
Man United (H)   
Liverpool (A)        
Brighton (H)         
Brentford (A)        
Southampton (H)  
Chelsea (A)          
Arsenal (H)           
Crystal Palace (A)

I think it's more likely to go down to the wire.

I reckon we're unlikey to get 6 points from the Wolves and Southampton games. But I also reckon there's a chance of us fluking an away result too.

I'm with Sniff though, its going down to the wire, or within a week or so of the last day at least.

Looking at Everton yesterday I reckon they've got something. Wouldn't suprise me if they avoided the drop at the last gasp like they did last year. Lots of fight there.

I am not going to lie, I am a bit worried, actually more than a bit.

Sorry to say this but I think we are playing poorly.

2 points from the last 12 backs up my fear. Even if we go back further than that and we are honest with ourselves we were very fortunate to beat Leeds at home.

Can anyone ease my fears please?

It's actually 5 from the last 15 if you go back one more game. Or 12 from the last 24!

Plus Yatesy is back, no coincidence the drop off in performance has coincided with his injury (and Kouyate being unable to replace him). Taiwo not miles away from recovery either.

Whilst we could fall over the line, we're still capable of rediscovering the earlier form and powering away.

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Thanks Wassy but I am more concerned about how we are performing currently not how we were performing 5 or 6 weeks ago.

In my opinion we haven't put in a performance since Leicester at home.

Not like me to be on a downer but like I said before I am concerned and I think it will go down to the wire.

Having some player's returning from injury lifts my spirits a bit but they are going to need game time to get up to full speed and the games are running out.

[JollyLolly]

I am a lot less confident now as the teams around us seem to be playing well (although not all getting the results). However generally our performance's have been poor, we are lacking the basics of pass and move, still cant seem to find a player with a pass (or hack) and the piss poor set-up and teams selected by SC in away games. We still have time to change this however I notice that the squad lacks passion and fight, some seem to be here for the money and kudos only.

[Paplane]

I'm worried too but I'm staying positive this week.
