Are We Going Down?

If we could get a draw or better still a win on Friday night that'd heap even more pressure on Spurs and for all they played better against Brighton they STILL didn't win. And what's more dropped points in the most crushing way.

Agree, it's all about Spurs now. If they win next weekend then it's all on again and we're probably going to get dragged back down there. If that happens then I reckon you've got to be looking at 40+ to stay up.

If they don't win then I'm pretty certain it's curtains for them. I just can't see them recovering from the crushing blow that not beating Wolves will be.

I reckon they win that game next week and the fight goes on. Despite not winning on Saturday they were much improved and it looked like they were digging in and trying to play with more intensity. And I just can't believe we're going to canter off into the sunset and leave Spurs and West Ham to it. It's not the Forest way.
The footballing genius which is Tim Sherwood reckons we'll only get two more points but that Spurs will win three of their last five.

That's us who are unbeaten in five and Spurs who haven't won in 2026.

Moron.

He also reckons West Ham will get six more points so we'd stay up on goal difference on 38.

He has caviated that with hope with his spurs head on rather than what his head actually thinks.
I'm glad we have some time to rebuild after another exhausting three days.

I think we've got a really good chance to win on Friday and potentially then earn the right to rotate after the Villa game. 7 unbeaten in all competitions and not lost since that Brighton game in the league.

Draws with Man City (champions elect away), Fulham, Villa (3rd) and wins vs Spurs and Burnley. We should be confident really.

Sunderland are beatable and Chelsea/Newcastle are on dreadful form. Really hope we don’t need anything from the last two though.

Everyone who plays Sunderland thinks they are beatable.

Yeah they're an average team, similar to Fulham, Palace, Everton etc. It will be a tight game either way but definitely winnable. They are 11th, -4 GD, they have had a better season than us but not sure they're a better team than we are at this moment.
I think Spurs will begin to turn the corner and get some luck.
West Ham are also significantly better.
This is going to be a very tight run in.
42 at a bare minimum.
That is the record for drop points.

So Forest need 7 points.
They can start by getting 3 on Friday.

The sooner they reach safety the sooner they can focus on Europa.

There is no chance Spurs get 11pts from a possible 15 available.
Sky Sports are changing the name to Spurs Sports

Spurs knew how to get at Brighton as their plank of a manager used to manage them. Another day, Brighton would have been 3-1 at halftime
Wolves are a Spurs Bogey team. Bournemouth/Walsall level bogey team.
So much for the fans getting behind the team. Second half kick off, and half the main stand was empty.
When the Spurs scored the winner, their problems became apparent. The scorer points at his chest and jumps into the crowd. Me, me, me.

Indeed that’s league champions form, that they are not 

You’re also asking 6th in the league form from West Ham, close but not quite

The point I was (poorly) making was that every team who plays them thinks they can do them, but the reality often turns out to be much different. Similar to us last season in a way. They don't have stellar names but do have good players, a good team ethic, they work hard for each other and have a noisy crowd behind them. They're formidable.
I got the point you were making Pap and agree with you. Teams that underestimate Sunderland usually leave with 0 points and a baffled look on their faces.
