StaffsRam Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yeah, but you're forgetting that they have the best squad in the Championship. Now that they have a 'great' Manager in Freedman, who will undoubtedly motivate them in a way that Forest legend Pearce couldn't, and provide tactical astuteness that would bypass most Managers in this division, I'm sure Forest will walk into the playoffs....

McRamFan Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Forest are on 34 points. With the top six as strong as it is this season, you'd have to say that 6th spot is probbaly going to be on around 75 points with a very healthy GD. So for Forest, it's probably 76 points and they are in. 42 points in 18 games is league winning form. Win 13 Draw 3 Lose 2 For a team that has won just three in 24, I'd say they have about a 0.000007% chance of making it. I was quite close with my guess of 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Racist! "Britt Curtis Assombalonga (born 6 December 1992) is a Congolese-English professional footballer who plays for Nottingham Forest as a striker" They drink it in the Congo mate.

Ambitious Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 There is more than one person predicting they can make the play-offs. Jesus H. Christ. I guess these are the type of people that get told by their wife they've got to work until 2, 3 in the morning every night despite having an office job. You've got to almost feel bad for them but then again these are the types of people that will be bitching and moaning at the end of the season because the play-offs were 'on' when Freedman took over. No words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Both LTLF and Vital have now deleted their 'Fridgy Out?' threads - and I'm speculating that it's possibly because of the veiled threats of legal action by Fridgy's main internet minder. One o' t' crossbeams gone out askew on t' treadle again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 To be fair, didn't we do the same after our initial good run of games when Nige took the DCFC job? When Clough took over, we had 29 points from 26 games and were in 18th place, 12 points off 6th. 6 games later, we were 15th and had closed the gap by 1 point to 11. We never got higher and we never got closer, finishing 18th and 20 points behind 6th. So no, we didn't. Our initial good run of games was 2 successive wins (following 2 successive defeats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, a few did get a bit ahead of themselves at the time. I sincerely doubt Freedman can get Forest anywhere near the play-offs, but you can't blame a gump for dreaming. New manager = cause for silly optimism. We've all been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
