Beat Palace and will be in a decent position again.

All on that game and it will set the tone for last third of the season.

And maybe a good appeal result

Realistically, it’s not though is it?

How did that gibbs white not get a 2nd yellow for that pull back?? Should be missing the next match

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

Fantastic result that.

Rightly or wrongly, Forest are bound to be getting a points deduction.

They do have favourable fixtures but they are gonna be right in the mire when they get hammered by the suits at the premier league.

Well that's the thing. Palace win would be 22 points then appeal should come through by start of March so could be on 26-27 points with home games to still come v Forest, Burnley and Sheffield United. Winning those three would guarantee safety alone.

Even though we lost it feels like we’re in a better position than I anticipated before today’s games!

 

[blue to the bone]

Well tickle my arse with a feather. We aren't cast adrift and the poor teams didn't win..who would have thought it

it’s not all on that game tho

but a win would be good

I was watching the Luton game, and twice I saw a player pick the ball up with his hands, place it near the goal, no players challenged him, and he had a free shot at goal. How mad is that. Never seen that at goodison

Forest are our insurance policy.

Time to win some winnable games now. We've done ok during a difficult period of fixtures, but now we need to be winning games. Beat Palace and we'll start to feel a little like we did in December.

Good place to start.

I mean I'm happy as well but lets not pretend Sheffield United beating Luton is something we all expected today lol

It's a very very winnable home game v a poor team who'll be missing their three best players in all likelihood.

Don't win and still stuck on 19/20 points with Brighton, RS and West Ham all coming up.

Just need to get back into the 20s points range as soon as possible so if more points are won back on appeal suddenly can go back into upper mid table where Bournemouth and Fulham currently have their feet up.

I'd rather get some wins at Goodison sooner or later rather than gambling everything on the last couple as usual, 3 wins from first 12 obviously isn't good enough.

1-0 next Monday with Doucoure bundling in the winner will do wonders for the team's mentality after a difficult last six weeks. More so than a bore 0-0 I'd say.

No one game will decide it

And realistically, the PSR appeal and next hearing are going to decide much more than any one game.

Bit bemusing people are happy to just let home games pass by, in what world is 3 wins from first 13 home even remotely acceptable? Certainly not easily staying up with that record in the current situation.

I didn't say team would go down by failing to beat Palace but it just makes the task much harder given the unknowns from the appeal.
