The teams around us are fighting relegation as well.

Yes, but its not a level playing field anymore, we need 2 or 3 points just to catch them let alone more to overtake them.... we are at a massive disadvantage.

They wont go if we go down though. So we would be better staying up...

Totally different game now though. It would depend how quickly we adapt to life down there and I am not seeing anything to suggest we would be able to do so.

Staying up may not be all its cracked up to be,the Premier league is a stage managed media circus these days.
We have just become the Coventry City of the 80s-90s, they always stayed up but never troubled the top half.We need to reinvent at a lower level.I,m happy with the challenge.

Dont worry Rick Shithouse Astley will save us.
We are never gonna give it up, were not going down Everton. Were staying up till the end of time, were not going down Everton. Never gonna give , Never gonna give it up , never gonna give it up, Everton. Rick Astley on repeat ShitAstlery

Leicester before their comeback against Wolves had taken 1 point out of a possible 27. Prior to beating Brighton, Forest had taken 2 points from a possible 27.

We just need that one win to get us going. Leicester is a massive opportunity.

We need more than one win.

Obviously I hope you are right, I am seeing nothing to suggest you are though. I'm not concerned about what the other clubs are doing, I am worried about what we do, thats the issue. The rest of the clubs may not win another point, it still may not be enough.

Here's hoping anyway.

Love Yerry as a guy? I think he's a workshy coward with a heart the size of a housefly.

He (Yerry) is a parasite.

Can't believe we just lost are local Derby with Blackpool. It can't get any worse

Coventry have never been back since and have almost been wiped out numerous times!

I agree with the premier league being crap but our always being top flight staples is one of the only things we have left right now!

It would be horrific.

Beat Leicester and it is very likely that we take it to the last day.

Then it is a case of who knows.

We'll see.

The whole new ground thing muddies things massively.

So long as an escape remains theoretically possible, blah blah blah blah blah.

And if we don't? There is nothing to say we will.

Beat Leicester and we just have to match their points total to stay above them though.

We could reignite our civil war with Millwall in the championship, I remember last league game I went to against them as a teenager, I threw a lucazade bottle through a window of a bus carrying them back to lime Street in 1989.
