How would you feel if Forest won the league and could it happen?

Why would he not like he was adored by us.

Our spine was world-class that season. 

 

Schmeichel in the form of his life, Huth and Morgan with a telepathic partnership, Kante as the best CDM in the world that season and the aforementioned Mahrez-Vardy partnership. Not to mention the sheer work rate from 1-11. 

 

Forest's world-class players are probably Murillo, Milenkovic and Sels at a push. All defensive. Once teams sit back like they did against us, they won't have enough to unlock them as consistently as we did.

tbf only a few id say would replace that 15/16 team

maybe Aina for Simpson, and Elanga for Sharky

 

but thats a push imo

dont get me wrong, forest have done incredibly well this season, outstanding in fact, but the sad reality of it for them is, it will probably end without silverware,

i personally dont see much similar to when we won the league, maybe the counter attack style, cant think of much else atm tho

Not many, that's for sure. Even Sharky was criminally underrated for his crossing and dead ball ability. 

 

There's not much to choose between the two at the back, but our title-winning side was on a whole other stratosphere to theirs in terms of attack. I actually think fans outside of Leicester almost forget how good peak Vardy and Mahrez were.

Chelsea are having a slump. Man City have pretty much had theirs. Newcastle fans wanted Howe gone earlier this season. They're all in touching distance of Forest, who are yet to have a wobble.

 

As soon as they do, it'll only take one or two of them to be on form to pounce. 

Man City are still right in theirs. A two goal lead blown and another poor performance. I thought about backing them to win the league at 40/1 the other week and I'm glad I didn't. They're a bust this season. They were crap here as well.

[Dan]

Not celebrating against any former club is one of the low key shite things about football now. Such virtue signalling dog shit. If we're upset that Wood's celebrating scoring against us maybe we should encourage the club to sign better defenders.

True, but we all know they can put five or six wins on the spin and then all Forest need do is draw one and lose one out of their own five or six and they're in the shit. We know ourselves how brutal it is competing for the top four.

They're on 30 goals from 21 games. We scored 68. No comparison. We get lumbered a lot with a reputation based on how we finished the season. People acted like we were winning 1-0 all year.

 

Forest are actually on course to score just 3 more than we did in the season we went down. Their attack isn't close. They're a good team and I do think this sadly will act as a platform for them to keep getting better. But they're not Leicester 2015/16. They just aren't.

Fingers crossed. I don't think they've turned much of a corner though. They're abysmal defensively, giving up loads of chances. That tonight sums them up. Any other year that's sailing.

I think Man City and Forest have opposite weaknesses. Man City are horrid defensively while Forest don't score enough. It all hinges on how teams set up against Forest and whether Man City can get back to form by just outscoring everyone.

It’s more or less impossible in the PSR era that they’ll improve. If Newcastle can’t do it, and Villa can’t do it, it’s even less likely that they can. In the next 18 months they’ll likely need to replace Gibbs-White, Murillo, and Wood isn’t going to score like this forever. They’re riding the crest of a wave right now.

I'd agree there. If they're ever going to win anything, it's going to need to be this season or perhaps next. We did it before PSR, meaning we didn't have to sell Mahrez, Vardy or Schmeichel, but we still found it impossible to sustain it. The Rodgers team was almost entirely different and still largely pre-PSR.

 

Post PSR, it's impossible to sustain it. MGW will almost certainly go in the summer, Murillo won't be far behind and Wood has another year or two of this at best. If they fail to get top four, the fall-off will be faster still.

[J. James]

I see them as another unfashionable club like us and frankly I'd cheer any team not in the greedy six club winning anything!

 

Good luck to them.

Need to let this unhealthy forest obsession go. It makes us look like their fans harping on about the 70's/80's. Just dont give them a second thought. You will feel better for it

Have you seen the title of the thread you're posting on? 😂

[Pita]

Don’t really care we have already done it 

[Lambert09]

It really shows the disparity in our recruitment now to under Walsh. Our ex strikers under Walsh are phenomenal, vardy, Kane, wood, kramaric, Leo, Shinji. All outstanding signings even if they didn’t reach the potential with us… it’s still a good eye for talent

I can't believe that so many of us are taking the idea of Forest winning the league as possible, let alone credible.

 

 

It feels more like it's done so it's shared on LTLF forum rather than the original poster being serious.

 

You get a lot of these kind of opinions before we play clubs too. Slate Leicester and lap up how great everyone else is. Even when we were champions or battling for top 4 there was still this weird self hatred on this forum about how crap we've always been. 

[ealingfox]

I'd resent it but in the same way I'd resent any other smaller club doing it, because ultimately it would devalue our achievement.

 

The issue with it being Forest is that, for their deluded fans, it's proof that they were a sleeping giant all along and that they're back in their rightful place. Rather than say, a middling provincial club that had a short burst of glory basically off the back of one person, but overall have spent fewer seasons in the top flight than Bolton, Stoke, Middlesbrough and Burnley and have fewer PL seasons than Cov.

They are on course for 74 points or so. Never going to win the league with that. Liverpool 89.

 

They should fancy top 6 at this point.

 

 

[RonnieTodger]

I do envy the pride and passion they have for their city/club. 

[filthyfox]

....NAH!

[VLC86]

Probably high as a kite because I’d have to be on drugs for this to become the reality.
