Could it be all over by the time we kick off at 5:30?
Burnley need a win - otherwise they are down.
Luton are still in it, but a loss sends them down.
Could it be party time on the banks of the Trent?
S.United:
The Good: Coming from behind to beat the Blades.
The Bad: S.United - it must be awful watching your team come up, spend nothing, then go straight back down again. It’s pretty pointless.
The Ugly: The EPL - nil points for Forest’s appeal. They need to make it a level playing field.
Special Mention(s): Murillo and Sels saving us at one end, CHO and Yates at the other.
The Last Time we played Chelsea (A) A 1-0 Win!! Elanga with the winner.
Turner
Boly Worrall McKenna
Aurier Yates Mangala Aina
Danilo
MGW
Awoniyi
Proposed Line-up:
Sels
Montiel Boly Niakhate Murillo Aina
Danilo MGW
Elanga Wood CHO
Subs:
Turner, Omobamidele, Tavares, Toffolo, Sangare, Yates, Reyna, Awoniyi, Origi
Injuries: Dominguez and Williams the only doubts.
Form:
Forest (H) - W2 D2 L2 GF8 GA7 - 17th (14th in the Home Form table)
Chelsea (A) - W1 D4 L1 GF10 GA13 - 7th (7th in the Away Form table)
Chelsea will be up for this, with a place in the Europa League still possible.
Prediction:
Not quite a must-win, but a win will indeed see us secure a spot in the EPL next season.
My feeling is that both Burnley and Luton fail to win and we are safe by kick off.
2-2
Final Words:
Let’s just get this season over with!! 🥳
COYR!!!

Decent game for the naturals
Our season in a nutshell, decent going forward but not clinical and vulnerable at the back

Fleet, how many times have you asked that this season ?? The answer is, far too many.

So true. We just have not learnt this season.

I think he will sack the manager. Can’t see him putting up with those performances. I don’t really agree sacking is the answer but I think it will happen. He hasn’t improved the defending at all to be fair. The last goal was awful, can’t keep conceding like that.

For the amount of money EM has put into the club, we are a disaster.
You would expect at least a step forward, we haven’t even achieved that, no matter how you sugar coat it.
Nuno has NOT improved our defending at all, and last season the WFCG was a fortress, this season it’s been far too easy for teams turn up and walk away with the points.
We have some decent players, but we still have some positions to fill, if we are going to compete in the Prem next season, or will it be a re-run of the last two seasons. ??
A huge decision has to be made on Sangare, £32m+ and we are lucky if he gets a few minutes per game.
To me either Nuno or Sangare go, or possibly both go.

Agree with all of above
Last year felt a special achievement, euphoric feeling in the Arsenal game and the party at the Palace.
This feels a little bit "meh" lots of reasons I guess, we have underachieved, let ourselves down on and off the pitch. The whole premier League experience is losing novelty with FFP, VAR and Social and mainstream media creating more frustration than enjoyment.
Still, 3 consecutive seasons in the top league is decent and we have some quality, exciting players so good reason to have hope next year will be better

As you say at least 3 years in the lunatic asylum that is the Premier league, should help give us financial stability, assuming we don’t have another melt down in the transfer market.
We need a manager who knows how to see out games, we could probably do worse than someone like David Moyes, ideally that model but a bit younger, but Moyes could give us the season of stability we need.
Some of Nuno’s selections / substitutions are just bizarre, replacing Yates with Elanga being just one of them.
I’m grateful for what Nuno has achieved, but i don’t think he is the man to take us forward.

Completely disagree with you today Dave. Nuno has to stay for me:
1. Nearly double the goals under Nuno, than Cooper.
2. Nuno has just kept us up, whilst Cooper was dragging us down.
3. He had AFCON & PSR to deal with.
4. The football is a million times better.
The set-piece defending and seeing out games need to change, but this can be worked on.
With a full pre-season and a few key players brought in (to strengthen our squad), we will be a mid-table team next season.
Take out AFCON, PSR and VAR and we’d have 50 points this season.
We’ve nearly beat a team worth triple ours (a billion).
A brilliant effort and gutted for the players who deserved a result today.
Youuuuu Redddssss!!!
We’re staying up!! 🥳🥳🥳

Fun Fact of the season
With 8 points taken off Everton and 4 points off Forest
PSR have taken more points than the Sheep managed in a whole season 🤣🤣
