new zealand owl Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 agreed its a good kick off time to add pressure. Yet again though it is likely we will be relying on staying tight at the back, have a feeling we will have to score twice which for most of the season we have been incapable of doing.

Remember Forest came to Hillsborough in 89/90 and we needed to win to stay up; with one eye on a game involving Derby. Just checked and Forest finished 9th that year and won the League Cup.

So they had nothing to play for, in 9th and already got the cup in their hands. I bet they were thinking of the beach They also had a load of good players, but so did we. Some of the best players we've had in our history probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Just checked and they won the cup, smashed Man U 4-0 then beat us. As I said if you could handpick an opponent for Saturday they would be in your thoughts. Not saying we’ll beat them though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodwickOwl Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I think we’ll get a result at home I think Derby might get 3 points at Swansea mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mcguigan Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 11 hours ago, BIG D said: If you were to handpick a team from The Championship to play at home this weekend Forest would be there or thereabouts. One of the lowest placed teams who are actually safe so nothing at all to play for and the club that are Derby’s biggest rivals. Their fans will let them off with a poor showing and in fact the vast majority will welcome it. Get that win on the board and then watch Derby under pressure straight after. What can go wrong? Here we are again, the nothing to play for line. Have a look at the last 5 games form and see how many clubs with nothing to play for, on the beach, flip flops on etc...have accumulated more points than the teams at bottom who do.

latemodelchild Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I don't see us winning against forest unfortunately. If we do, Swansea will be putting out a weakened team to rest players and Derby will beat em. If they don't and we win, we'll lose to Derby last day of the season. It's what we're all expecting let's be honest here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parajack Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I always want my team to win,and play well.but part of me dreads us winning Forest.That would set us up for a 'must win' last match(other results taken into consideration)and would give us the hope we could still stay a Championship side. With potentially half the team on the field playing their last game for the Club,and probably not wanting to risk a bad injury? V a Derby side who will be fighting for every pass/ball, I just dont see this team overcoming them. Like many have said,its the 'hope' the 'maybe' the 'what if'? that shatters you...

striker Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I actually think we are more likely to win at Derby, if it comes to that. My suspicion is that our season will fizzle out with a whimper and a defeat vs forest. Wonder if Jamie Smith thinks this is a must win game yet?

BIG D Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 I agree, while ever hope remains you have to cling to it. Ultimately we will probably go down and longer it drags on the bigger the disappointment! Just think though, Brentford beat Toytown tonight, we beat Forest and the the table looks like this when the others kick off on Saturday. Derby 44 43 Wednesday 45 42 Rotherham 43 39 Wycombe 44 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands it isn’t yet, it’s definitely a ‘must at least draw game’ though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right Ronnie but just look at the runs Derby (5 straight defeats) and Rotherham (4) are on, they’re just as bad as us in fact I would say Derby are worse. We’re actually the form team out of the 3 Edited April 27, 2021 by BIG D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had half a dozen in the squad with his level of commitment and attitude we'd be sat comfortably in mid table. Just imagine this lot against an in his prime pearce, most of them would be hiding in the dressing room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwë Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 We have friends, Heracles is looking on with a kind heart. I can sense that fans are now starting to believe. It will sweep through this club and will translate on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
