I don’t think anyone can argue that Forest are better than WBA. What Forest have is a good run of form and good team spirit.

WBA have better players but at times don’t always give there all.

Worryingly Forest remind me of the WBA team the won promotion the first time round. They overcame and 11 point gap in ten games to finish above wolves.

Forest aren’t by any means the best team in the championship. Any team can beat anyone on their day in this league. 2nd place will be lost for forest on their away form at the moment. If we go up, we will be straight back down without a lot of investment. If we lose on tuesday and WBA win, then its over as far as i’m concerned. WBA can easily be outdone by a team that closes them down, and no one has done that.

Re Harry.

Your right that the home game against Forrest, Albion were shocking. But to say Albion are a lower league team than Forrest is a joke. A team is rated over a season and not on an indivdule match. Didn’t forrest lose 2-4 at home to Watford? There not the greatest team in the championship are they? Wait till May before you start spouting off.

Completely right, WBA are a different class … a lower one. Did you not watch the game in January

Do you think? I’ve seen WBA play a few times and they look pretty shody (as do Newcastle) yet somehow they keep grinding results out.
Forest have been good until there recent blip in away form – losing 5 consecutively in the league! The brand of football is definately better at the city ground but with the gap now 5 points they’re unlikely to catch up.

At the start of the season we would have taken the playoffs – it’s a far more glamorous way of going up than finishing second & will ensure my first trip to Wembley! U reds

The run-in is consequential… WBA are a different class.

Similar run-ins? Are you kidding? Forest have to play teams currently 21st, 23rd and 24th. Overall apart from Newcastle they’ve got considerably easier matches.
