Agree with most of that mate.

All of say though, is I think Forest are still sort of in it.

You'd expect them to lose to Villa. If they then lose to West Ham, the cat is amongst the pigeons, as honestly youd have to fancy West Ham for 1-3 at Wolves.

If you are 21 games in, and are in and around the drop zone, chances are you'll be in the dogfight for the long haul.

On paper they shouldn't be in it, but footballs played on grass, and Europe could drain them a bit too.

I think that West Ham game is critical for them. West Ham have to win it, Forest can't afford to lose it. FWIW I...

Dyche has been plagued by the European two games per week headache.

You just cant help being wrong all the time.

It must be exhausting for you.

His first tenure was the same.

"Knives to a Gunfight"
"We cant compete"
"Lucky to get out alive"

After a while you accept it, and this isn't me calling anyone out, but many listen to his putting hs down and accept mediocrity.

this year

"We cant compete with sides like Newcastle" - who had been on a dire away run.

"Its nice to even be in the talk for Europe"

"We arent ready for Europe"

Wolves/Sunderland disgraceful in the cup.


The scarring is there from his first period, but he doesnt align with the recruitment, he cant be a long term solution, get him gone and thank him for the first 6 months of his return.
