Was thinking about this earlier... only a few weeks ago this derby had the potential to crown them champions and relegate us. I'm now viewing it as a potential game to seal our safety and completely de-rail their push for the league...

The RS have only beaten us twice at home in the league in the last decade... not sure why so many folk (only singling you 2 out because you're on the last couple of pages) are guaranteeing/assuming a loss.

At that stage of the season, unless you're rock bottom of the league there are no 'must win' games... But I agree that was one where 3 points would have been a real boost. Dyche is good at taking points off those in and around him... whether that was at Burnley or now with us. The problem is he...

Isn't Thelwell's contract up this summer? Or have I made that up...

Oh yeah, agree regarding the points deduction... we had zero wiggle room the last couple of seasons this was the season to get them (not that we should, but that's a different conversation). The point on the run of games... Yes it was a shocking run of form. The caveat being we played City and...

I've said from day 1 that Dyche's job this season is to keep us up with as many games to spare as possible. If not for the points deductions, we'd be sat on 38 points and mathematically safe with 5 games still to play. Even with the points deductions we're more than likely going to stay up. Job...

Luton need to earn 20% of their total points earned over 34 games so far this season in just 4 games to match the points we're on now. That figure is 15% for Forest. There's a reason the bookies don't think we're getting relegated.

We'd be mathematically safe now if not for the points deductions.

Another interesting little stat. Also, after having gone several years without doing the double over anyone, that’s now 2 sides we’ve done the double over this season.

The mentality went ages ago to be honest. It all needs changing.

Feels a lifetime ago doesn't it? The club needs massive change top to bottom. Merely avoiding relegation is not an acceptable position for us to be in, but that is the reality of where we are right now sadly.

If it wasn’t for the points deduction, Dyche would have had us mathematically safe from relegation with 5 games to spare after today's result. I’d have bitten your hand off for that at the start of the season.

Suddenly feels a lot more comfortable doesn’t it? For us to go down Forest need to gain 5 points on us and Luton 6 (given our superior GD) each having played a game more. Nothing is certain until we’re mathematically safe, but we’re very close. Only 1 or 2 more positive results will do it now.

Huge weekend for us

Made up Branthwaite is starting. Would have been a huge blow to lose him for any part of the run in.

Update: Luton's remaining fixtures: - Wolves (A) - Everton (H) - West Ham (A) - Fulham (H) Ours: - Forest (H) - RS (H) - Brentford (H) - Luton (A) - Sheff Utd (H) - Arsenal (A) We’re in a position now where simply avoiding defeat against Forest and Luton probably sees us safe. A win tomorrow...

Note sure how you've worked that out? Luton's remaining fixtures: - Brentford (H) - Wolves (A) - Everton (H) - West Ham (A) - Fulham (H) Ours: - Forest (H) - RS (H) - Brentford (H) - Luton (A) - Sheff Utd (H) - Arsenal (A) On paper, we have the 'better' fixtures, plus an extra game to get...

Thanks mate

To add a little bit of context to this... In the last 10 games: - Forest have earned 9 points - We've earned 7 points - Luton have earned 5 points Our 1 win in 14 (or whatever it is) is pretty shocking, but our 2 main relegation rivals aren't exactly fairing much better at the moment. It's...
