Match Thread Nottingham Forest vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[GrandOldTeam]

Desperate times cause for desperate measures, and my match threads have the highest win rate of any match previewer.

Win Everton.

Or, just don't lose.

Is it a must win?

I think not.

Maybe that's me trying to downplay inevitable disappointment but Forest don't lose many at home - winning 3 and drawing 2 of their last 5. This season Forest have averaged 1.58 points per game at home compared to Everton's 1.08 points per game at Goodison.

I'm of the view that any away point is a good one, especially for an Everton team who have only won once away from home (vs bottom of the league) all season.

1 point here, followed by a win vs Brentford at Goodison would be massive and have us right in the fight for survival.

The mrs is a Forest fan. Divorce is on the line.

Just don't lose Everton.

 

[Liam-EFC]

I’m very worried about this. A loss would destroy every bit of last remaining hope.

 

[dannyboy]

A loss would be really bad news because it puts a really poor team 7 points ahead of us. I still think Wolves and West Ham will pull away. We need Forest down there with us and Leeds.

 

[bonsc]

Think we deffo need the win another defeat and these player heads will drop even more

 

[Mickey]

Can't lose.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Lose this and they're dragging the effigies in for the beginning of the rituals...

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

In the history of team sport there has never been a more nailed on predictable loss.

Don't do it to yourselves, folks.

 

[Walken]

Win or down this.

Just thinking back to other relegation battles and looking at the strikers we had. In some cases like 98 we had a worse team but we always had a decent forward

Duncan and rideout
Duncan again
Campbell and jeffers
Ritchie.

I know all the fossils on here hate ferguson for not being Alex young but it's pretty obvious why we are going down.

 

[Goodisongang]

anything other than a win and any bit of hope i had goes.

teams like forest are the teams we NEED to be beating if we want to stay up.

Forest have averaged 1.58 points per game at home compared to Everton's 1.08 points per game at Goodison.

Using Evertons season average 0.5 points per game away form would be more relevant to this away fixture, no?

COYB!

John.

 

[Dixieslaces]

We Have to Win.

Anything less and we are in deep deep trouble

 

[Khalekan]

IMO this is the season right here.

Lose this game and I think the light at the end of the tunnel is extinguished.

COYBB

 

[john jako]

Can’t lose, will lose.

*0.58.

And not when the point you're trying to demonstrate just how strong Nottingham Forest are at home against a backdrop that Goodison is our saviour;

Maybe that's me trying to downplay inevitable disappointment but Forest don't lose many at home - winning 3 and drawing 2 of their last 5. This season Forest have averaged 1.58 points per game at home compared to Everton's 1.08 points per game at Goodison.

 

[Del-boy]

These haven’t lost at home since September. We will be very lucky to get a win here.
