FA cup should give a champions league spot. 
Imagine how fun the banana skins would be, or a 4th div side knowing they are 6 wins away from a champions league place. Magic

Man U certainly would have like getting a spot potentially a season earlier .

Wolves playing with intensity. Attacking. Playing the ball forward. Not just passing between 2 CBs.  Should be 2 up. 

 

Must be nice watching a team with intent.

Only 1 touch in the man c half since going behind 😂

Forest are essentially Wolves under Nuno. Low block, use pace of the wingers with a powerful striker. It’s played out exactly like it did with Wolves - the tactics take some higher scalps but everyone else gets wise over time and the performance averages out to 6th or 7th. 
 

It’s laughable how these pundits and experts can't spot such a simple pattern 

I'd imagine so considering it's the same manager.

Yes we dropped off once they scored. But we were the better team for the first 30 mins or so and created better chances.

Planting to shield the ball perhaps?

Maybe, a strange one nonetheless. Glad he didn't get a red though and that Silva's not seriously injured

One of those where you've seen them given plenty. Got away with one IMO. 

I did think they'd give it because well it's modern football. He's lucky that for once common sense prevailed

Big opportunity for the players to salvage a bit of pride from an awful season. Forest will be nervous & getting a result there is possible- cue a Faes brain fart & Soumare not tracking a runner into the box, 2-0 down after 15 minutes. Potential for it to be one of the worst days out following Leicester ever. 

They'll be nervous and they'll be vulnerable, but we're just awful, abject, and sadly they'll win. But like I say that alone may not be enough. Palace away is a pretty rotten fixture for them too.

  1. An ever-growing gap? The stats on Premier League survivalpublished at 14:05

    With just four games to go in the Premier League this season relegation has been decided.

    For the second season in a row, all three promoted clubs have been sent straight back down, and 14 points separates those in the relegation zone and 17th placed West Ham.

    Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town have just 10 wins between them this season, and there is still a chance that the Saints finish the campaign as the joint-worst Premier League team of all time.

    But where did it all go wrong?

    A struggle to survive

    Opta stats on promoted trios

    According to Opta, this is the worst combined points total of any group of promoted sides at this stage of the season in Premier League history

    The three teams have only managed to get 50 points between them - after just 34 games - and are 14 points behind the previous record which was set last year by Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton Town.

    While Leicester and Southampton have seen changes in the dugout this season, Ipswich have stuck with Kieran McKenna, but this has not changed their fortunes.

    Between them, they have picked up just 21 points at home, with Southampton and Ipswich winning just once in-front of their own fans.

    Promoted sides face 'more of a challenge'

    Opta stats on relegated sides

    And things look set to get even more difficult for those coming up from the Championship.

    According to Opta, five of the lowest eight Premier League points totals for promoted sides after 34 games have come in the last eight years. Southampton are currently on the joint-lowest points total ever at this stage of the season, alongside Derby County.

    Speaking before his sides relegation, Ipswich boss McKenna said the gap between the Premier League and the Championship "is getting bigger" and that "it's been getting more of a challenge for clubs to be able to bridge that".

It's not just the gap to the Championship either.  14th and 16th in the Premier League are looking likely to contest the Europa League final. Chelsea reserves look good for the UECL final.  Arsenal might yet make the CL final.  And none of them are the best team in the league!

It's almost like the financial rules are starting to look like they won't allow teams that come up compete. It's not about football anymore. And that's killing the game 

 

Teams don't have a chance. Leeds properly have the best chance to break it, but the team the comes up via the playoffs is guaranteed to struggle. 

 

Our 1st relegation is looking more and more costly each year. If we had finished where the squad of that calibre should have, then we would be a safe mid table side easily. But we're turning into a mid table championship side.

Are these two points related given that we were not allowed to spunk a wad of cash anyway?

Both points can be unrelated but true. It is true that the rules have been implemented to protect the status of the rich clubs and the amount of circumventing of the rules that the likes of Chelsea particularly but the likes of Forest, Villa and Everton (as well as Chelsea here too) do with the ‘player swaps’ is a joke. The biggest single issue with these rule imo is that it has the adverse effect by forcing clubs to sell the players that would actually make them sustainable, I.e youth prospects.

 

But we would not have ended up in this position solely due to these rule. They are designed to prevent us challenging at the top but not to get relegated and have a future at best as a yoyo club as we are now. That is solely the work of Top, Rudkin and the rest of them. If they were actually taking it seriously, we’d not be adding further deadwood each transfer window and would be moving back to bring in those with value, resale and wages.

 

Other clubs, Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth etc are managing to operate within the constraints as they are well run clubs with intelligent people who understand football and business making the decisions.
