Forest last 10 = 12 points

They can’t play better, we can’t play worse !
I think this is a good point R73. It doesn't mean that Leeds can't maintain these levels but they are probably at the top of their game. 2 or 3 losses away from a volatile managerial situation.
My take on that we can't play worse is that we can definitely keep playing as bad. If we improve our levels we will move up the table.

Spot on. But when you are scrappin down the bottom results like that, no matter how well you played or unlucky you are, will surely have an impact and be demoralising.

West Ham’s next 7 games look tough and hard to see where any points for them will come from given they lost to Wolves and us. If we can pick up 7-8 pts during that same period we could well extend the gap and give ourselves some real breathing space.

Yes, it is a good grounding comment.
I was also thinking that Calvert-Lewin can’t be far away from another injury and that’s another reason for their current form to drop off in coming weeks :Funny:

Over these last few weeks I've seen a few of Leeds, Wolves and Bournemouth's games on the tv. I've watched a bit less of West Ham and Burnley but my opinion is that we can say that we are the worst team of the lot at the moment. The worst team in a division where the team at the bottom currently has 7 points.
Our 3 points against West Ham was a grateful gift from the Gods. How we got out of there with a win is a miracle.
This is really the first time it's dawning on me that our premier league adventure is coming to an end. We've scraped by in the end but there was always a feeling that we were up for a fight. That's not happening now. It might not be this season, but next season I can't see any other outcome other than relegation.

Hard to say we're worse than West Ham, I watched their most recent game and they were pretty garbage!

And that garbage team were just a questionable offside decision away from comfortably beating us 2-0 Wassy. Had their disallowed goal been allowed (had it not been deemed as a forward pass, or had their striker been positioned a foot further back when the ball went to him) they would've strolled through that second half and cantered to a win. I have absolutely no doubt about that.

Had Ruben Dias been correctly sent off we might well have beaten Man City. Not sure its fair to say what it's like that. Had Murillo have headed it wide rather than into his own goal we might've won easily.
West Ham looked pretty awful I thought, only scored through a lucky own goal. What if Neco or CHO doesn't hit bar and it goes in?
