Well it’s not, I’d like to see us score and win. Makes it worth the journey. So therefore not irrelevant.

It’s completely irrelevant in the sense of staying up. 
Even if by some miracle we win, the points gap is too large. 
 

But hopefully you enjoy your journey. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Now that any sliver of hope of staying up has disappeared, and the pressure is off, maybe we'll pick up some wins? Doubt it, though!

I'd settle for a goal or clean sheet to begin with

Wolves 2-0 up. 
That’s the final nail for me. 
Tomorrow’s result is irrelevant. 
 

 

When Wolves beat us 3-0 I knew we were down. It wasn’t technically a “must win” but, for all intents and purposes, it felt like one.

 

To lose it so badly just felt like a turning point of the season. We’ve never looked like exitting the relegation zone since 

[Pliskin]

Just end the season now. 
 

Id be a lot more content if we just sacked Ruud, and played academy players for the rest of the season and actually showed like we were planning. 
 

It’s hands down, been the most miserable season in my history, this is much worse than the relegation to league one, purely because we were just a modest club then……. We’ve absolutely no one to blame but ourselves for the situation we find ourselves in at the moment, other teams have coped, yet we haven’t been able to scrub together mediocre stability. 

[ithuriel]

Relegation is all but done and dusted, wonder if the players will now put any effort in or return to being on the beach?

I’ll let you be front and centre in Nottingham when they beat us, to officially relegate us…..

Just don’t go lads  

[Eskay]

Ipswich and Southampton are so similar to us in the sense that it's so easy to get in on goal. Not a single defender putting their body on the line or rushing to close attackers down. 

 

It feels like only fans understand the severity of the situation. Players don't really seem to care as much as generations gone by.

I agree, this was the game that turned it. 
 

The fact is, one win in 13 is not the kind of form that suggests this team is capable of turning things around. It’s painful to watch, it’s a bit like shooting something a sheep and just leaving it to die, very slowly, and very painfully.

No....a clean sheet means 0-0 (draw) and a goal means any consolation...neither means a win

You keep pushing your cope down the road though. First of all it was that they’d collapse second half of the season, and while they’re not winning every week, they’re not collapsing. Other teams are crap too. Of course they will likely struggle for obvious reasons but it’s still gonna sting.

Oh, it will.

 

But only for a season.

 

Possibly not even that long if a 5-0 mauling by Club Brugge is bookended by defeats to Bournemouth and Leeds.

I’m stepping nowhere near any football stadium for the foreseeable 😂 it’s not disloyalty, it’s life is too short to watch a bunch a over paid men, the majority who don’t give a shit about you, fail miserably on the pitch. 
 

Those who chose to sit and clap that shower of shite off can be my guest……… I’m not sure I’ll go back until King Power, Rudkin and Whelan are all gone. 

[Cincinnati Fox]

So frustrating and so avoidable. To go from where we were to relegation last time is one of the largest failures in sports history 

 

and the board kept their jobs!

 

[Nalis]

December - Shit, Forest might finish top 10 but no chance of Europe

 

February -  Shit, Forest might get into Europe but no chance of champions league

 

Now - Shit, Forest might get into the champions league but no chance they become a top 5 regular 

[Bilo]

If I'm doing football at all next season, it'll be at Boston United. 

 

Just gone professional, smashing little setup and actually fighting relegation.

Wolves 2-0 up with an XG of 0.27

Apologies - just noticed you’d said “or” and not “and”

If you think they're going to be allowed to become a top 5 regular, I have a bridge to sell you.

Shit - Forest might get Champions League, Coventry might get promoted through the play-offs, whilst we suffer one of the worst relegations in history.

 

Arrrrrgggghhhhh !!!!!!!!

West Ham winning.

Ok, maybe not that but in the Newcastle / Villa cycle of teams. 

 

Flip side is things can change very quickly as we know full well. Sell key players when the big teams come in and buy poor replacements on massive contracts.

It won't be long until the player's agents are banging onthe door because if a club's turnover increases by £70m, that must mean they have an extra £140m to spend on wages,  right?

Current BBC headline: Forest 'thrashing' Ipswich

 

Since when was 0-3 a thrashing?

 

I always thought a thrashing was at least 5

 

What constitutes a thrashing these days?

They lose one of Murillo, Milenkovic or MGW and they're in full on decline. And they're nailed on to lose at least two of those in the summer, realistically.
