At this stage I’ve ruled out a late run for a European spot.

Idiots who think this team can possibly beat Brentford who are unbeaten in the Premier League since October, since then they have won at the Etihad & drew away at Arsenal. A draw would be a good result but in all honesty we have little chance.

Who would of thought we would of beat Arsenal at home….we did though
We can beat Brentford, and who knows it may kick a run of going unbeaten
Negative people like to remind everyone how negative they are. The more negativity the better because it validates their negative feelings.

We will go down but arise from the ashes and be back in the Premier League the season after. It will be like when Rocky beats Clubber Lang.

I think this Sat is a big deciding game, we win that then we will all have hope, lose it and it will probably be a stretch too far

The next 12 games? Nah, you'll know well before then...even if mathematically we are still alive.
People seem determined to dismiss the overall trend. That's what hope does, I suppose. But let me put it like this: if Everton fail to beat Brentford tomorrow, the trend of results is pointing to the Championship. It already is, of course, after our failure to beat Forest, but a loss tomorrow would leave only those in denial with genuine expectation of survival. The trend is reinforcing itself with every loss and draw. We have been so poor this season, that only wins are going to reverse it.
I mean, it's possible we stay up because we match Bournemouth and Southampton and just get our noses in front of, say, Leeds, but that's wishful stuff. And even that depends on us getting some results. If you don't want to completely rely on others, or be subject to wild fluctuations in fortune, then it is clear we need to reverse the direction of the trend of our own results - and only wins will really do that.
I felt that that Sunday's result strongly suggests Championship football next season. It certainly makes getting ahead of a very poor side who has just been promoted difficult. Failure to beat a much better side tomorrow means the writing is on the wall. We retain hope, regardless, but it is best to prepare oneself in that situation, because all that is left then is that hope. And that, famously, is what kills.

So your saying we have a chance!
