Can we get a result at home to Arsenal?
Well…the team we beat 3-1, just beat Arsenal 3-0, after losing to Everton 5-1. Arsenal’s season is effectively over.
A Forest win?! Party time if Everton have just lost away to Wolves! Delayed party time if Leeds draw / lose away to West Ham.
A draw v Arsenal and a win at Palace (38) keeps us up. Leeds and Leicester can't catch us (37 and 36) and Everton would need to win their remaining two (38), with Everton above us on GD.
A Forest loss?! Let’s not go there.
Last Game Overview: Not quite as stressful as Southampton, but stressful all the same.
The Good: Awoniyi’s goals. If only he’d been available all season.
The Bad: Two defensive mistakes cost us again.
The Ugly: Chelsea’s support was awful. We out sang them all game.
Special Mention: Worrall. Probably his best game this season.
Overall Record:
Currently we stand at W28 D22 L52
Injuries / Signings:
Colback and Shelvey (I still don’t care) could miss out.
Scarpa back in training.
Form:
Forest Home Form – W2 D2 L2 GF11 GA11
Arsenal Away Form – W3 D2 L1 GF11 GA8
Forest are 0.8 PPG over the last ten games. Arsenal are 1.8 PPG.
Interestingly, Arsenal only have 2 wins (and 3 draws) from their last seven.
Team:
Navas
Worrall Felipe Niakhate
Aurier Yates Danilo Lodi
MGW
Johnson Awoniyi
Prediction:
Arsenal have no chance of winning the title, City only have to win one of their remaining 3 games to do it.
Staying up has always had a dose of luck to it. We couldn’t ask to be playing Arsenal at a better time.
2-1 (Everton draw at Wolves).
A Nottingham baby boom ensues.
COYRs!!

Leeds fan in peace... Congratulations you lot really happy for you. Good luck next season!
Our lot may not technically be down yet, but our fan base expect to be playing Championship footy next season and are braced for it. If by some miracle we stay up we'll enjoy hosting Forest at ER👍

A Leicester draw tonight and a subsequent win.
A Leeds win @ home to Spurs.
An Everton draw @ home to Bournemouth
Equals all teams on 34 points. Everton and Leeds down on GD. Wow!
Based on watching them all:
Leicester lose to West Ham, Leeds lose to Spurs, Everton get a draw and stay up..
Based on form...we beat Palace and finish 15th!!

Fair play to Joe Worrall who played brilliantly today and in recent games
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good point. The last month or so he has shown that he may just indeed be a prem player.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
His game has been helped by having a player of Felipe’s experince beside him, but full credit to Joe and the coaching staff.

Hope you manage it somehow. Forest fans much prefer playing Leeds than Dyche’s Everton

Not posted much on these boards this season; not as much as I would have liked anyway. But always enjoyed reading everyone’s posts.
Many thanks to morningchile for posting the excellent match threads.
Hope to post on the thread for the Palace game and then on transfer activity through the summer.

Thanks to the selfless generosity of a friend who gave us his cards, I was able to travel over for the match with my son. A long drive there, a long drive back, but, wow, was it worth it.
