Although I might having been dreaming but I think Gallagher also did one . I’ll assume it was an accident 😂 Good one! I actually think SG meant his too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between them losing key players and us losing them is that the Forest manager can have his team play a different system to compensate for this. They lost Joe Worrall recently with broken ribs but it didn't really affect them. We lose Brereton and the season goes belly up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham are going for promotion as we are. You make a fair point on Preston and Blackpool I guess 23 hours ago, roversfan99 said: Big blow for Forest. 2 massive blows there. Lowe has been very good at left back/wing back for them. They don't really have quality back up for Lowe. They could change to back 4 maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRFC4EVA Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Another dismal home draw for Bournemouth. First peterborough, now Reading. They've dropped so many points against poor teams it's incredibly frustrating that we haven't capitalized. If we had scored those pens against sheff and bristol we'd be 6 points better off and right up their backsides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom Silas Posted March 16, 2022 Backroom Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Good illustration of where we at form wise even after last night's much needed win: Form: Last 12 matches GP W D L GF GA GD Pts 1 Fulham 12 8 2 2 26 11 +15 26 2 Sheffield Utd 12 7 3 2 19 8 +11 24 3 Huddersfield 12 6 6 0 19 9 +10 24 4 Bournemouth 12 7 2 3 19 11 +8 23 5 Luton Town 12 7 1 4 13 12 +1 22 6 Nottm Forest 12 6 3 3 18 9 +9 21 7 Blackpool 12 6 3 3 17 11 +6 21 8 Millwall 12 6 3 3 10 7 +3 21 9 Cardiff City 12 6 2 4 17 11 +6 20 10 Middlesbrough 12 6 2 4 19 16 +3 20 11 QP Rangers 12 5 3 4 15 12 +3 18 12 Preston 12 4 6 2 11 8 +3 18 13 Coventry City 12 5 2 5 15 15 0 17 14 Swansea City 12 5 1 6 11 18 -7 16 15 Hull City 12 4 3 5 10 10 0 15 16 Barnsley 12 4 2 6 11 14 -3 14 17 Birmingham City 12 3 4 5 16 19 -3 13 18 Bristol City 12 4 1 7 15 22 -7 13 19 Blackburn 12 3 3 6 5 10 -5 12 20 Stoke City 12 2 5 5 17 17 0 11 21 West Brom 12 3 2 7 9 15 -6 11 22 Derby County 12 3 1 8 12 20 -8 10 23 Reading 12 2 2 8 13 28 -15 8 24 Peterborough 12 0 4 8 6 24 -18 4 Covering over a quarter of the season, we are sat in 19th place, having managed to beat one of the teams in the bottom 3 last night. EVERY single one of our promotion rivals is in the top 10 of that table (barring QPR just outside it.) EVERY single one of our promotion rivals has a positive goal difference versus our -5. Bournemouth, who everyone says are stuttering, have almost double our points over that period. As good as it is to see us sat in 4th place at this stage of the season, I don't think there's any denying we our the outsider in terms of odds to go up. We've stopped scoring goals and stopped getting results at a very bad point in the season. Of course, that could all change with a few of our injured players back, a couple of wins for us, and a few indifferent results for our rivals, and we could surge up that table. We have the fixtures coming up to do it. But, if we stay in the bottom half of that table, then there's no chance we're even getting a sniff of promotion.

Devon Rover Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Who do we want to win/lose thus evening? I can't work out if I want the others in the playoff zone to slip up, or prefer to see those outside it drop points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
only2garners Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 The old adage is that if two teams who are competing with you play each other then the best result is a draw, preferably 0-0. For me that currently includes any team as far down as PNE in 14th place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
