Rival Watch

[Stranded]

Have to agree that at this rate, we will be gifting Derby their miracle.

I was checking the Derby forum before they played us, many of them dismissed the prospect of catching us, I bet they`ve changed their tune now.

[South Coast Royal]

Have done the usual fan's nonsense of checking future fixtures and trying to suss the likely out come for us.

As I see it, February is the month when we have to get points with the fixtures nowhere near as daunting as March where we might struggle to get any points.
The way things are going we might not get any in February but if we are to get the 6 wins that others feel brings us up to a safety level then February is the month to make inroads.

Matches for the 3 clubs (I have rightly or wrongly disregarded Barnsley) are similar starting with Derby playing Birmingham today-a win for Derby would put them just 5 points behind us with the same number of games played so Birmingham could do us a massive favour by not losing.

One bit of joy was watching Peterborough last night-they were dreadful and Sheff Utd could easily have scored 6 or 7.
The one possible plus for them , apart from playing us, is that they will bring in players tomorrow who MIGHT improve their chances.

The downside of course is the ongoing underperformance of our players.
A change of manager would surely make us no worse and just might make us better but, like Johnson at no.10, he seems to be able to do anything he likes and remain in the job.

Birmingham winning at Derby early doors

[Mr Angry]

What is scary is that there is still about 1/3rd of the season to go.

Our injuries are clearing up, and from what I saw of the Peterborough game, their defence is as ropey as ours.

Personally, I think we will stay up.

[windermereROYAL]

Bloody hell if we had half the fighting spirit of Derby.

[bcubed]

Derby get a point after being 2 down

[Zip]

Really pissed off with that but at least it’s only one point from a game that would want to have won.

[bcubed]

Clear offside in the build up to their equaliser too

[bcubed]

Really pissed off with that but at least it’s only one point from a game that would want to have won.

I think I'm getting more annoyed about Derby surviving than us going down!

[windermereROYAL]

Not the end of the world, only one point gained. would have taken that before kick off, i fully expected them to win.
Over to you forest.

Absolutely

[Hound]

Yep big opportunity missed for them there

[Zip]

Bielik may be out injured again. Let’s see if they sell key players tomorrow.

[windermereROYAL]

Didn`t know they had Hugill 1-0

[AthleticoSpizz]

Signed yesterday on loan, …and he’s scored

[Hound]

Forest, and their sole tactic of dive at every opportunity - look terrible

Still if any team can scrape an undeserved late win/draw it’s a Steve cooper team

[Royal_jimmy]

We need to stop relying on other teams doing us a favour.

[windermereROYAL]

Cardiff putting in a good fighting shift. wonder if pauno has sky?

[leon]

Forest looking terrible unable to string decent passes together. Absolutely aimless.
