Well, I really hope we can make up for the disastrous 97th minute goal we let in a few weeks back
We have one again managed to claw our way back into a position of real threat - usually when we get ourselves in these sort of positions, we bottle it and end up throwing away points
I’m really hoping we might be able to break that mentality and get all 3 points tonight - wouldn’t it be nice to do it convincingly...something like a 3 of 4 nil win but let’s not forget, this is Forest, and we never seem to do anything straightforward
Reading will be tough to beat, but beatable they are, and if we want to cement our playoff place, then we need to be on the offensive from the off, dictate the game and put them under pressure - NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND MR MANAGER
We can’t afford to keep giving teams the upper hand against, especially at home
If we can get all 3 points, then it puts us just a win away from the automatic places - still a very tough ask, but we all know anything can happen in this league - and we do have the credentials and quality to get one of those places - even though at times we seem not to always show it
COME ON FOREST - let’s kick on tonight and set ourselves up nicely for Brentford next Tuesday

BBC live said it was a poor game. Lacklustre to be exact. But doesn't surprise me. Every time I've seen Forest this season they have been average at best. 👍

You do make me laugh Backwards.
Didn’t your lot lose 3-0 to Reading a few weeks back? If we’ve been average at best...what have Derby been?! 🤣
I’ll give you a clue. First word is Dog...second begins with s.
Enjoy the FA Cup. We’re concentrating on the league 👍

It's all relative I suppose, Backo. Sticking within spending limits, not cooking the books, etc. is not very exciting, but well, you know

Derby have been below par this season but I would suspect our below par season has been better than any of your last 7 seasons. I'm only telling the truth. I havent seen Forest play well this season. I'm.surprised you are in the top 6. But I think by the time you come to Pride Park stadium in April you wont be 👍

You've been a car crash on and off the pitch, Backo.
Oh and 'playing well' is kinda subjective, being 3rd/4th best in the league is objectively true.
As for April, I confidently predict that our respective teams will be pretty much where they are now, pending a points deduction.

Car Crash on and off the pitch? The only Car crash was the "Real" one.
No. You have played average. If truth be known every Forest fan is thinking "how the jock are we in the Top 6". Its about to change.
As for April...mine will be true. Yours will be nothing but a heart felt wish.

Backo, your not wrong, the difference this season is the entire division is ‘bang average’. There is NO stand out team, and we are just marginally better than some of the others. Everything is up for grabs, including at least one of the auto’s, whether we are good enough to get an auto/play off, only time will tell, but we have managed to get ourselves in with a shout. Can’t wait for April as the rivalry is always great and form book gets thrown out of the window. Hope we are both in good shape for that one and may the best team win, which will of course be Forest., hopefully. 😁👍

Truthfully, I think Derby have found their natural level.

Not every Forest fan, although I see where your coming from.
I think we haven’t hit form yet. Away form has been strong and rarely do you get a visual treat in nicking an Away game 1-0.
At Home is where I think the problem was. Although I think we’re slowly turning the corner on that one and we’ll improve.
We have an extremely tough run of games in February, but then it eases up.
Having just looked at your fixtures. Wow. I don’t even know if you can stay up!? You’ve had a good run against lower opposition to lift you to 37 points. I don’t even think you’ll hit 55 tbh.
But Backo, you’ve been very civil. So hats off coming onto the Forest boards, when all the other Derby fans have been largely absent.
Cheers
