Season 2019/20 Can We Finally Go Up?

[Paplane]

Good goal by Jutkiewicz to wrap it up by the way

Should've really had a go for him imo. Top goal he scored.

I can smell The PL...

Bristol City home defeat tonight - can’t do us any harm!

& to Birmingham too!!! Who would've thought crappy old Birmingham could beat a top 6 side   :rolleyes:

Yeah...but Forest jump started their season...they owe us a bit of credit.

I remember that Bart Williams goal.

I'm trying not to think of anything.

The games vs Charlton and WBA...

I wonder.

One game at a time Young Man!!

It will be very difficult. Fulham, Brentford, Bristol City and Preston are all doing well and placed at the top of the form table as are Forest. Only Leeds and West Brom are showing a dip in form although West Brom have won the last 2 games and have possibly turned the corner. It will be a very interesting week with "must win" games for Forest against Charlton and West Brom. Leeds will face both Brentford and Bristol City. Fulham with probably the easiest games next week. A lot of twists and turns to come that's for sure. It is all about consistency now so let's start with back-to-back win against Charlton.

[Widdow]

We have 15 games left, if we can win 10 of them, then we have a bloody good chance.

[Mcforest]

in theory 7 wins will give you top 6 and in the play off's

I've been trying to find a side-by-side list of the top 6's remaining games but without any luck.

I'm sure that most of us still have to play the others - in fact we might have the fewest games left against the other top 6 sides (or maybe the same as Leeds). We've got WBA on Saturday and that's the start of three tough games for them (us, Bristol City and Preston) and of course Brentford host Leeds tomorrow night.

So many teams - even all the way down to the sheep - will still think they've got a chance of reaching the playoffs that there really will be no easy matches.

[Sausage Roll]

That's cool, thanks.

So here are the current top 6's remaining fixtures. Interestingly the sheep still have to play all of the top six, so they could play a part in who does and doesn't go up:

I have to admit I have been very pessimistic about our chances of going. I also have to admit that I left very early from the home game v Sheffield Wednesday. On my way out of the ground I was laughing angrily at the thought of Forest achieving promotion. Apart from a few games, the performances have not matched points we’ve been taking but by God, we still keep taking them. As quickly as my dreams were in tatters after the Wednesday match they have reappeared as we continue to accumulate over recent games and leave ourselves in a wonderful position. All games count now but it’s so important we take all three points v Charlton. It’s a real banana skin after they ran us ragged in the first half down there. Sabri has a system and its working.

I’m daring to believe.

Personally I think we'll be in the battle but probably always just on the edge. 4 other good teams around us, will be difficult to not believe if we beat charlton and WBA.

More interesting is we've opened up an 8 point gap to 8th (only 4 to 7th). If we can just drop one more of the teams from 6-8th, we could have since cushion for playoffs.
