Forest will be safe when we play them imo. Spurs started bouncing back with those 2 late goals at Pool and West Ham will have a kick in the a$$ like we got when Arsenal took us to the woodshed.

 

You guys will be fine and stay up imo. For this game set pieces and crosses are your friends.

Cheers Fellas - We are awful at set pieces at both ends. Crosses we can do. Both full backs are decent crossers as well as Elanga when he remembers to look up. I suspect we’ll rely on pace and quick breaks as you’ll have the majority of possession. Hopefully Awoniyi will be fit enough for 30m in the 2nd half. I’m guessing we’ll stick one of Murillo or Yatesy on Cole Palmer too.
I am hoping that Spurs and Spam will do the business at 3pm though.

Out of the 3 games we've got left this is the one I'm worried about, we always struggle against these relegation sides. 

Likewise. This has all the hallmarks of a classic Poch bedsh*tting masterclass.  They have lost their appeal, remain 3 point clear of the bottom 3 and will therefore be fighting for their lives. I can easily see a low block game and a return of the tactical void we have seen so often this season. It wouldn't be the first time this tactic has worked for them against us.

We became so sh*t and predictable that teams stopped defending deep which allowed us to discover some form. I can easily see that going out the window and a return to earlier frustrations.

This could easily be a really tough and frustrating game for us. Plus we always seem to be crap when we are the Saturday night game on Sky. I can see this being a draw or worse if we are anything but fast, intense and clinical, especially early on.

Im feeling abit shaky coming up to this game knpwing that our inconsistentcies could comeback and catch us. Im not sure if we will win or not

At least Forest could be safe by the time they play us. If Spurs beat Burnley at home and West Ham beat Luton, Forest’s safety would be confirmed.

It’s David Moyes final home game too, so the players will be up for it to give him a good send off.

I also can’t see Spurs losing 5 games in a row.

What are your thoughts on our boy Callum Hudson-Odoi? Also I hope you nicked the Buffalo Soldier song for him (Oi Oi Oi Hudson-Odoi, etc.)

They have already had results, earlier in the season, where a consecutive run of 5 games produced 4 losses and a draw. And that was when they were supposed to  be good!

Lose this and Poch is a goner.

What game sparked that particular run of form? I can't quite recall...

We absolutely love CHO - one of the best players I’ve seen at the City Ground - and I go back long enough to remember John Robertson and Trevor Francis. He’s had a couple of injury niggles + I think a few mental demons to overcome. He got an absolute horror tackle against Bournemouth, when he got a set of studs down his Achilles when he was at full sprint. The fact that he got up and didn’t break did him some good. I can’t wait to see him next season.

Delighted to hear it. He's a top lad and I'm pleased he's doing well. Gutted he left to be honest, I'm a big fan of his. Would have loved to see what he can do in this (possibly) rejuvenated and high-scoring team under Pochettino.

He started to form a pretty effective partnership with another of your old lads Ola Aina. I can’t believe we got both for less than £5mil! 

Actually think forest will win this....feel it as they will play like never before...we ll also have a goal disallowed by var....but we ll win last matches

Both teams are in some good form but with our quality we should be winning this comfortably. 

Same team, no changes.

Just win, half of my mates are Forest fans (other half Derby). Losing to them last time was bad enough.

Absolute bargains. Then again you have signed about 50 players in 2 years so I suppose some of them were bound to be a hit!

Here's Happy Face!

I think that’s right. Boehly won’t want to be made to look a fool after his recent comments. 

Also it seems like no fresh injuries and much of the squad available. 

Three winnable games left, nine points to play for and we'll see whereabouts we finish. We left it late to hit the run of form we're currently in but I'm enjoying every moment of it nonetheless. Good individual performances all over the pitch in the last three games. Let's keep building on it my lovely blue boys. 

Match Day!

Come on Chelsea!!

GAMEDAY!! COME ON CHELS!

Let's hope that good form continues, we still can finish the season with little smile of europe.

We don’t want the conference league. Europa or nothing. 

Mykky, Wacko and Cole on the score sheet today.

Maybe Noni too.

If we don't win this then sack Poch on the spot.

Brighton can you do something for me?
