Don’t worry this happens every other year,  they always get good around this period and do a Leeds later. All the more enjoyable when the longer the run lasts as more reds fans actually start to believe.

What the **** is on Lewis Grabbans face. 

 

That's without doubt the worst facial hair I've ever seen. 

 

Is just a bunch of pube trimmings glued to his chin.

Stoke don't look too bad going forward, they are horrendous defensively with a keeper throwing them in or straight to an opponent to tap in.

 

Butland looks completely lost.

Butland  shot it about three full.seasons ago. He's gifted us a good 6 points in that period

In fairness, this run has lasted.longer than usual for that red.filth. 

 

Normally, they win the first two games - declare themselves.champions - before settling into their usual berth at 13th

 

But I hope you are right. It would be enjoyable to watch agonising end of season failure (except it wouldn't be that painful, as they'd get to play their beloved Ram friends still)

[Wymsey]

Jack Butland will be thinking that he's lost his opportunity to join a much more prestigious club (for example, Liverpool - who were strongly linked with him last year) after the numerous mistakes he's made this season that have cost Stoke.

 

The Forest manager appears to be a sound bloke and think he'll stay with them for a good while, as he already seems like the perfect fit there already.

Forest annoyingly seem to have the knack of winning without playing well.

 

God knows how they got 3 goals out of that.

Stoke and Huddersfield bottom 2. Didn't they get relegated together as well? Stoke look co completely lost as a football club.

Stoke went down the year before Huddersfield.

Makes you wonder if those fan who wanted Pulis sacked when they were mid table in the premiership are regretting their actions.

They had 3 top half finishes in the 3 years following his sacking. Don't think that's got much to do with their current situation at all

[SystonFox]

So Notts have won the championship already then?

Well Pulis never got relegated.  Guess we'll never know if they would've been better off sticking with him, but I can't help given pulis record that they wouldn't be bottom of the championship with him in charge...and possibly still in the premiership.

Yeah but I think moving in a different direction from Pulis was the right call at the time. Sticking with Hughes for as long as they did was their biggest downfall for me. 

 

Replacing him with Paul Lambert was the icing on the cake.

[Fox92]

Sticking with Hughes for so long was the issue. Not saying he wasn't a decent manager for them because of course he guided Stoke to three top 10 finishes. 

 

Coates doesn't seem the type to sack though. I'm surprised he didn't give Rowett more time.

[SystonFox]

Apparently some of those derby players tested positive for sniff. Incredible

[urban.spaceman]

Vardy’s lookalike has shared what he claims to be leaked info from the Derby players... Take it with a pinch of salt.

"Lookalike". Dunno how he's still getting away with it.

[The Horse's Mouth]

Call me mental, but I dont see Forest doing their usual bottlejob, although I think it'll probably be playoffs. Think they're now past the Fawaz era of just being mental for the sake of it. They like a dodgy sacking, but surely wont give this geezer the boot surely

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Derby are the gift that keeps on giving. 2-0 at home to 2-2 in the space of 4 minutes.

[bovril]

I think Forest will do it this season. Will be good to have a derby game in the PL next year.
