I qould absolutely love ut of they came up Forest got SHA at home on Saturday, Bournemouth away to Sheffield in early game. Bournemouth lose again and gap could be down to 5 points. Regardless of games in hand there's a chance for Forest here with the momentum they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXD Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Any predictions on here about the play-offs? I'm guessing Huddersfield and Forest are now pretty safe bets, after a quick look on the remaining matches I'll go with Sheffield and Blackburn for the other 2 spots. Forest can win the promotion for me, the others have had recent stints in the PL, so I'm good with other teams having a go. Also, it would add to the value of Davis, maybe an extended loan with them next year in the PL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ferguson1 Posted April 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2022 Would be really good to have Forest back in the Premier League, not least for Davis. A further loan or a sale feels right for him and he deserves it by all accounts. It’s also better if we don’t see clubs just yo-yo between the Championship and Premier League all the time, as it becomes boring. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Forest can still catch Bournemouth and qualify automatically, they're only six points behind with seven games to play and one of those games is against Bournemouth with Bournemouth also still having to play Fulham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to call on the playoffs - you'd imagine Huddersfield probably won't be caught/drop enough points from their current position and will be in there. Forest certainly carrying the form and I'd be surprised if they missed out now (could even push automatics). I reckon... Forest 3rd Huddersfield 4th Sheff Utd 5th Middlesbrough 6th Blackburn's form has dropped off a cliff at completely the wrong time and it looks like Luton are struggling a bit at the moment too.

osmark86 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 ...and we're in second place. If only Everton went down this season we could start our journey towards overtaking their number one spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I like teams that come up that can actually do something in the league...for us 19/20 was a massive struggle but at least since then we've kicked on to mid table and had some good wins. Was happy Brentford came up last season and they've certainly created a buzz in the league. Watching Forest play in the FA cup shows they could do something. Won v Arsenal, smashed Leicester and had plenty of chances at 0-0 v a decent Liverpool 11 so would be more interesting coming up than say Huddersfield who'd just scrap it out with Bournemouth to finish 20th.

PussEKatt Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Watched a replay of Forest Vs Derby Co and the ref was pathetic.I dont understand why he is still a ref.Forest had 2 clear penalties completely ignored while Derby got a dubious penalty.FFS.The ref might as well have have worn a Derby shirt.

Spending the thick part of £200m probably helps with that. There are no clubs coming up who are lucky enough to be in the position we were.

The problem with the whole "OMG most seasons" is the historic nature of a lot of them. As I said before, in my lifetime, Forest are a more prominent club than Blues/Stoke/West Brom.

Maybe depends on your age. Stoke and West Brom were up for about 10 seasons each recently. 23 years since Forest last up and think 8 seasons since I was alive. The Clough years made up about 40% of the time they were up Edited April 12, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
