Even if we lose to Palace, which feels strongly possible, top 5 is still in our hands. Two of the four worst teams in the league after, then winner takes all against the FFP swervers. Forest never, ever do it the easy way.

All context isn't it? Give me any form of European football back in August and a trip to Wembley and you think what an amazing season. Now it feels a massive disappointment (although I would get over it)

It's all just slipping away, isn't it?

Of course not.
And I'd still be delighted to make the Europa League because we'd have never expected it before the season started.

I realise that expectations change because of where we've been for most of the season but sorry, I just don't get that at all. It would be an incredible turnaround to jump 10 or 11 places in the space of a season without changing the manager or making major changes to the squad.

But the fact is we've been pretty much in 3rd place for half the season and a few weeks ago the Opta people had us at 80 odd % to make champions league. If we end up in the europa conference then that's a complete fail. No other way to describe it.

Especially as it's 2 home losses to Everton and Brentford that have made it so much more difficult now. Still.....3 wins gets us there i still believe, maybe less. We can still do it! If we don't make it, I think a lot of the conversation will be about lack of activity in January.

Oh I'll be disappointed if we end up in the Conference I admit that. But not if we end up in the Europa League. As for the Opta stuff - as they love to say in American sport "That's why they play the matches." Nobody can predict what will happen. Opta had us about 17th before the season. :Funny:

I will celebrate if we get Europa League.
After 25 years of crap it would be a trememndous achievement for us. Lets look at the season as a whole. The season didn't start last weekend, it started almost nine months ago.
