    Basically means at the minute the bookies don't think we'll go down, but that will be an ever changing picture as games go by

    McCririck has just turned in his grave, and he took some turning. :emoticon-0138-think

    It's not necessary to risk the future of the club though is it? Forest risked a small points deduction and got it, but it's worked out much better for them than not having a competitive squad would've done.

    And if they went down
    They were ****ed financially

    Forest didnt do anything long term
    They got immensely lucky
    And its not something a club can copy

    Didn’t invest in players that’s why they’re dropping like a sack of **** into league one, at least they’ll have a half empty new stadium though

    Forest threw a huge amount of **** at the wall and thankfully for them a lot of it stuck.

    Aint we am example of doing a forest but it not working?
    We chucked a load of short termism hoping to get promoted

    Forest got lucky and went up
    And when they got promoted
    They won a penalty shootout to even get to wembley
    All fine margins
    Stayed up by skin of their teeth

    If it hadn't they'd still be trading as an EFL club. :emoticon-0138-think

    They're doing it long term now though - they've copied the Brighton model i.e. buying real prospects and selling them on at a profit and already have their target(s) lined up to replace them.

    I’ve been reading a lot of comments over the last few months about how this is a poor Championship season, so I decided to look at the average points for each final position in the Championship since 03/04 compared to every team's current points and Opta’s predicted points to explore how this season might compare to the average Championship season.

    Interestingly, both the top and bottom ends of the table are doing – or expected to do – better than average this season.
    1. Average: 94 — Current: 88 (-6) — Predicted: 96 (+2)
    2. Average: 88 — Current: 88 (=) — Predicted: 95 (+7)
    3. Average: 83 — Current: 83 (=) — Predicted: 89 (+6)
    4. Average: 79 — Current: 76 (-3) — Predicted: 82 (+3)
    5. Average: 75 — Current: 64 (-11) — Predicted: 69 (-6)
    6. Average: 74 — Current: 63 (-11) — Predicted: 69 (-5)
    7. Average: 71 — Current: 60 (-11) — Predicted: 69 (-5)
    8. Average: 69 — Current: 60 (-9) — Predicted: 66 (-3)
    9. Average: 67 — Current: 60 (-7) — Predicted: 65 (-2)
    10. Average: 65 — Current: 56 (-9) — Predicted: 60 (-5)
    11. Average: 63 — Current: 56 (-7) — Predicted: 60 (-3)
    12. Average: 62 — Current: 54 (-8) — Predicted: 59 (-3)
    13. Average: 61 — Current: 53 (-8) — Predicted: 58 (-3)
    14. Average: 59 — Current: 53 (-6) — Predicted: 58 (-1)
    15. Average: 58 — Current: 50 (-8) — Predicted: 54 (-4)
    16. Average: 56 — Current: 49 (-7) — Predicted: 54 (-2)
    17. Average: 54 — Current: 48 (-9) — Predicted: 52 (-2)
    18. Average: 53 — Current: 47 (-6) — Predicted: 51 (-2)
    19. Average: 52 — Current: 46 (-6) — Predicted: 52 (=)
    20. Average: 50 — Current: 45 (-5) — Predicted: 50 (=)
    21. Average: 48 — Current: 43 (-6) — Predicted: 48 (=)
    22. Average: 45 — Current: 42 (-3) — Predicted: 46 (+1)
    23. Average: 41 — Current: 40 (-1) — Predicted: 44 (+3)
    24. Average: 35 — Current: 40 (+5) — Predicted: 43 (+8)

    A win sees them go above us, a win by two goals means if we draw they're still above us. :emoticon-0138-think

    …. Who cares if they finish above us??? The only important thing for us is finishing above the dotted line…a derby win makes that more likely doesn’t it???

    I don't want any team below us to win, or finish above us, that guarantees us surviving. :emoticon-0138-think
