Don't knock the cider or the Guinness or them mixed.
Just stir the cider first
All to play for still im afraid. Monday is again another massive game. Twists and turns are still happening. A point is a point. Terrible defending from virtually every corner. Ashley Cole absolutely superb. Cant believe I actually want Forest to win on Monday. Makes me feel sick inside!!!
Cole saved us when Roos flapped.
3 pts on Monday and then it's in our hands, game in hand and game against Bristol.
If that doesn't gee us up then I give up.
Until next season......obviously.
Its game by game now Igor. Like you say..win Monday and take stock again. Wigan winning the way the have at Leeds today shows anything can happen in this league. Its game on.

Crazy league, I know it pains me but hope we still have some shout the last game of the season.
You had me at something was wrong with our organisation Vidals.
Think Lamps is as culpable as anyone. Focusing on two number 10's instead of trying to coach a number 8 out of Holmes, possibly Evans, Bird or getting one in on loan. King was more an attacking appointment than somebody who could do the 60/40 defending/attacking game.
4-2-3-1 I think could have been an option away from home and I think Davies and Huddz with a little bit of coaching might have worked better with BJ being the sub in.
How after Blackburn both Bryson and BJ make the starting eleven beggars belief. I think if another manager without the celebrity status of FL did that the reaction would have been a little different.
I know it's not his game and in an ideal world Bryson would have been useful cover for Mount but is it too difficult to tell Bryson to stop running so much, play behind the ball a bit more and anticipate the pass then apply pressure aka keep shape?
Playing Huddz now will take time as he'll need 1 or 2 games to get going. Don't know if he pi55ed people off by triggering the one more year clause. Don't know how the Pirlo of the Championship doesn't play though he must be a lazy get in training and a Jason Shackell off the pitch.
FL has consistently been outcoached and consistently been unable to break the high or low press. There's no evidence he's learned from these mistakes and continues to repeat them.
We've been carried by Tomori, Wilson's free kicks (not sure his open game has been much) and Mount when on form. These players will leave at the end of the season. Apart from Bogle who else has developed this year?
We do always still have a chance against teams that give us space. I'm just shocked at the lack of organisational thinking and direction from FL particularly at the business end of the season.
I'm a big fan of putting faith in the youth and that's what I like about Frank he can attract a higher calibre loan as Backo says but bitterly disappointed in the coaching this season throughout. Yes make mistakes but please show evidence of learning from them.
Sorry I'm not usually negative but Frank's taking the pi55 in my mind. Granted I don't know 5hit but from an armchair fan it's been wtf o clock recently.
Not seen him play before, but Ashley Cole is a class act, (well he was today).
........... and it was good to meet the legend also known as Backo.
Wellies has hit a few nails on their heads there. For an intelligent bloke Lampard has looked a bit slow on the uptake at times. Either he has been out-thought or is too stubborn in pursuing a style which he thinks will ultimately succeed. What Wellies says about Bryson is bang on - he’s a great bloke but he is largely ineffectual and two midfielders behind the ball would give us a base to play from. But like Backo says it’s still game on and come on you Tricky Trees on Monday. Right, off to play golf.
Yeah good to meet you Scouse
Ill tell you summat...we are having no luck in the penalty department. 3 stonewall penalties at Brentford and Birmingham not given!! We are due a decision going our way.

Wellies. Some smart observations there. But I think, until he got left out, Holmes was another big positive to our season, as well as Bogle. Also Roos is now an asset other than a bench warmer.
Highlights of yesterday game.......... you might want to look away for both Brum's goals?
Waghorn took his chance well though.
https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/competitions/championship/11698369/birmingham-2-2-derby
Lightweight all over the pitch again, as ever. 2nd best in the challenge, to the ball and at corners.
Muscled off the ball too easily too.
This is one of the most physical leagues in the world. Occasionally we can play through teams but it’s far too infrequent - especially away.
Why does RK always throw his arms up in the air when we concede a goal, (like it's somebody else's fault).
Sorry Richard, but their first goal yesterday was your ball and your histrionics are as predictable as my criticism.
You're right scouse. I'm balls deep in a bottle of Russian standard and kahlua, watching the highlights the first thing that came to my head was "why is Keogh having a toddler tantrum when it was his man he lost for the first goal?" If I can see it whilst well en route to pissedville, surely everyone else can too?
Harps. It wasn't Keogh's man. It was Tomori's man. Look before the ball comes in. Keogh is marking the 28. Tomori had the goalscorer. He peels off round the back. Keogh is drawn to the ball. He misses it which means hes made a mistake but in terms of the man it wasn't Keogh's man.
I'd love to know what the style is he's pursuing. It feels like it started out at the beginning of the season with high pressing but has since morphed into just throw lots of attackers on and hope to fashion a goal out of nothing.
Lamps said he had a book from Bielsa on his coffee table I imagine there's a few tips in there on how to get out of the press and here too:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLZkqQsREFg
I would also support a Robbie Van Der Laan in between Huddz and Mount to make Baz happy not sure where we can get one from at this hour though. Evans was on the bench yesterday?????
Still it's football anything can happen. Don't think we're the finished article but think Frank can and should be getting us way more competitive than we currently are.
You raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaams.
Right no more moaning from me until next season.
That's ok, I'm sure Scouse will cover for you
Udders doing their best to beat our "games lost" and "least goals scored" record.
Well they were on 19 scored until about 2 minutes before the above post................
