Middlesboro v Forest matchday thread

Just seen it again. Couldn't see the elbow in the throat.

and Fulham have a very challenging run in. I believe most of their games are against teams in the top half of the table including a visit to Elland Road.

Well done Jonny’s

Thank you, watched some of the game too!

Definitely thought the last goal was a foul on the GK - First he jammed his elbow in the GK's throat then backed into him to preventing him getting to the ball. Foul for me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
LOL. He occupied space which meant the GK couldn't move there. No foul for me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He doesn't "simply occupy space," he moves into the GK to impede him while ball is still in the air. He leads with a raised elbow in the keeper's throat.

With the benefit of tv angle, clear foul for me. referee on the field may have been blocked from seeing it all.

Didn't think that was a foul at all. I can't see Forest being top 2, down to us WBA and Fulham. They just don't have the quality to win over enough points.

Next 3 games are massive. We play Hudd and Cardiff, then Fulham. Fulham play Bristol and Brentford, then us. If we open the gap to 8 points in that time, then we basically have a 3 game cushion with 7 to go. But if Fulham win those 3, they're going to have such a belief they can do it.

I think I'll have to agree to disagree. Especially when you see the front on view.

Hope you enjoyed your trip over.

Can someone explain this to me please, I cant work it out!..

There are 10 games left, the closest team to us are 5pts behind!..

I work that out as others having 10 games and us needing 8!..

We have now got a 2 game cushion or am I seeing that wrong?..

Today was a great result for us. Forest win that and its down to 6 and they have Millwall at home Friday. Could have been down to 3 points by the time we played Huddersfield.

Thanks, had a great time, fabulous trip and an almost perfect haul of points. Got us back on track!

There are still 30 points available. Nobody is guaranteed nothing yet. Villa were 13th in March. Not expecting a repeat of that mind.

And how is Villa doing now?
