I've enjoyed this week, and the September to mid December time wasn't too bad. It's the deductions hanging over us and the seemingly customary terrible run in the middle that's made it at least as bad as the last two seasons
Shrewd signings such as Barkley have meant they played themselves into a position where they'd have had a slight chance now even without the points deductions. If I was a Forest fan I wouldn't have felt secure with a 5 point gap going into the...
3rd best defence in the league
11 clean sheets
More away wins than the last 2 seasons combined.
A derby win
Safe before the end of the season
14th without the point deduction and 3 points off 11th. 4 points off 10th.
Tell me you'd believe that...
He took us seemingly destined for the drop and got us over the line. He's effectively got us safe again despite an 8 point deduction and delivered a result at Goodison we've been waiting a very long time for.
Whatever happens with Dyche this...
I don't think its about changing or not changing opinions. I think it's just being able to accept both sides of it. He's done an objectively good job in the most ridiculously challenging circumstances. He also has severe, infuriating limitations...
it doesn't take much to imagine that it'd be the condition for anyone else interested in buying the club too. Regardless of whether Moshiri is willing to entertain it, these people would 100% be waiting to find out before seriously starting anything
I know the chanting wasn't great but along those same lines we should really be wanting Forest to stay up, or at least get relegated by more than the total of their deduction. For those deductions to have no effect and the natural order of the...
Think that's us away and safe now, barring another deduction. Luton surely aren't getting 9 points from their remaining games.
If we can finish on 40+ points, (48+ without deductions) then Dyche absolutely deserves a new deal.
Our club's very existence relies on our remaining home games. Not just our status as a top-flight club, but our very existence. Our players, after years of struggling, simply do not have the confidence (or the quality, for that matter), to win...
Interestingly, if we get our semi-regular home draw against Liverpool and beat Brentford, and Wolves beat Luton then only a massive goal difference swing would send us down. A long shot but we could pretty much do it this weekend
