Match Thread Notts Forest 0-1 Everton. Sat 12th april. 3pm

[Moomin]

We didn't.

We made it into the qualifiers.

And lost so in reality we never qualified for the Champions League.

 

[knowing your history]

Missing a few although seems Wood might return. Thought based on the first half they were going to lose by 4 or 5 at Villa but they were really good second half and could've forced a draw on another day.

Thinking a 1-1 here with two teams happy to sit back with many players behind the ball.

And lost so in reality we never qualified for the Champions League.

So if thats criteria then despite being Champions of England in 1963 we didn't compete in the European Cup the following season.

 

[Drico]

I suppose you're not technically wrong but it just feels like being negative for being negatives sake. Us, Newcastle and Villa all finished 4th and so were entered into the champions league. We just went into an earlier round because we achieved a 4th place finish years and years before they did.

We didn't qualify, though. They did.

Us losing in the qualifers and saying we made the CL is like losing in the Championship play-offs and saying we played in the Premier League.

It's not being negative. It's being correct. My point is simply that as a club, we have completely underachieved even in comparison to the non-super clubs. And that's utterly damning of how we have been run.

Based on Moyes words today we might see a bit more experimentation at Notts Forest
Pickford
Patterson - O'Brien - Branthwaite - Young
Garner - Gana
McNeil - Alcaraz - N'Diaye
Broja

Would make it a very interesting game

Go with that team with Beto up front, Broja for me has done very little since he's been here.

Think it's just semantics really. Uefa call the first few rounds "qualifiers" and you've just gone with it. It's like saying the first few rounds of the league cup are qualifiers because the big teams aren't in it yet.

 

[judge]

We didn't.

We made it into the qualifiers.

Where we were shafted!

 

[Gilbert..]

Liverpool
Arsenal
Forest
Man city
Chelsea.

Mad how thats worked out. Playing the top 5 in the league in a row and more or less how they sit in the league.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Forest will be difficult as always for us.

I saw us beat them 6 - 1 a few years ago. Well, many years ago tbh.

So can people stop saying Dyche got Burnley into the Europa League now then?

 

[Vaughan]

the only thing i really care about for this is alcaraz starting so we can snap him up and not lose him to a club playing european football

and mcneil getting some good minutes

 

[Igrok]

Mighty Forest against Master of Draws…can get 1-1

DCL won't be back for a while yet mate. I wouldn't even be overly surprised if he doesn't play for the club again
