It's tantalizingly close isn't it.
Hopefully we'll be able to rest a bunch of players at Stoke at least. It would be good to seal 5th, but results against Swansea and Barnsley can do that. I'll be hoping that Fulham beat WBA on Tuesday - it will mean the others need to push to the end, except for Forest who can afford to rest some players on the last match. Could make a difference.

How many defensive midfielders for this game then?? Three again or possibly four? Could always play another defender just to completely be on the safe side.
Why not push the boat out and start another goalkeeper aswell.

I believe 2 goalkeepers are not allowed.

I really don't care. We can play Samba and 10 defensive midfielders as long as we get a 1-0 win to cement our place in the play offs.

Yates and Sow aren't exactly playing has defensive midfielders though.
Watson is doing that job.

I think it's having no fans that is making the football boring.
Forest have played some lovely stuff at times this season.

I think he's just trying to get us over the finish line, by hook or by crook, so he's taking a pragmatic approach to the games. He goes out to get a result when one needs getting, rather than risking all for a win and ending up with nothing. Lolley is clearly struggling, Sow is half fit. Watson got injured before the re-start. All 3 vital players to us yet we've held our league position. Da Costa is still learning the ins and outs and we're been short of a 2nd creative midfield player all season.
And with all that taken into consideration, if it weren't for unlucky injury time equalisers for Wednesday and the sheep, and the ref had disallowed the fulham goal we could have had a record of P6 W4 D2 since the restart.
I'm not complaining.

There is more than one way to win a football match, GM and Sabri like most managers sets up not to lose. We dont play 3 defensive mids we play 1, Watson plus 2 box to box No8s.
The last manager we had who set out to be entertaining was Montanier, it cost him his job after a few months. Before him goodness knows, Davies tried to be at home but was ultra defensive to the point of cynicism away. Before him Paul Hart was maybe the last. Its a results business and we play to our strength.

How do you define "entertaining football"? Is it number of chances or goals or possession or team work or.....?
