That is a great attitude Mad Squad.

Wish all our fans were this positive!

I'm in his camp

Where do I sign up?

I am feeling more confident now than at anytime in the last 2 months.

Agree, Jock. Derby result more important than ever.

Had a look the on Villa forum out of interest, everyone assumed they would charge into top 6 but it hasn’t happened. Most of their fans have given up on season, blaming injuries and a squad unsuited to how Dean Smith wants to play. A fair number of them already want him out!

I love the optimism on here but many of the teams around us have one or two games in hand. If results go against us we can easily end up around 15 or below. So closer to dropping down the table than crashing into the top 6.

After saying that MON and RK are just getting started and usually one team can make a surge with a run of results to steal a place in top 6. For that to happen we need to go on an extraordinary run and also hope luck on our side (it hasn’t thus far).

Be great to kick on with a result against derby, but I remain in the no chance of promotion this season just as I suggested after the Millwall defeat and apart form Milosevic I don’t really think the January signings will make a difference.

Open your eyes, look up at the table & see, it ain't really over until it is mathematically, because it's easy come, easy go, little high, little low, but as long as we beat Derby, it doesn't really matter to me, to me...

Keano just killed a man! Put his studs right through his leg, snapped it off & now he's dead!

Martin, it had just begun, but now Roy's gone and thrown it all away.

Martin, ooh, that Keane line was lie, so if I'm not back again this time tomorrow carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters...

WBA are away to qpr and home to sheff utd before our next game
Brizzle are away at Norwich
qpr also visit Boro
Derby host Milwall 
All the above prior to our next game, maybe blackburn have given up seems like it, qpr also defaulted to the sort of team you want to play every week
We beat Derby and then maybe just plough through a long list of teams who are given up, shite or nothing to play for?
Seems strange to me but maybe everyone, bar half a dozen teams, just throw the towel in half way through Feb, let's hope so.

I can see M o N and R K and all the players giving everything to the cause, I do think they deserve better than tepid support, seems disrespectful to write them off maybe?  

The Brian Clough Cup is now a massive game, especially if a few of the games above help us out a bit.  I have total confidence we will turn up and give everything and be extremely difficult to beat and M o N may well gamble everything on this game

Never felt so alive as a Forest fan, enjoy the ride!

Nottingham forest will require 31 points from the remain 39 available in order to reach a top 6 spot. Best start with a win on monday then.

Be very surprised if 6th get 77 points.

Average over last 10 seasons is 72.6 points !

We beat Derby?  Boro' draw or lose.

We're right down their necks.

A prediction...mistaken perhaps..?

It excludes the '****pool' scenario.

Well the game(s) in hand for Middlesbrough and Bristol city are against themselves so our only hope is that Bristol leap frog them with a win and we reel middlesbrough and derby in with big wins against them
