    ...You didn't so what now? Are you still confident of a play off place? Will Square Head get the sack if Brighton sneak ahead of you in the last few games?

    .. still hope to make play-offs - not least because of our goal difference and that we are not the only team getting inconsistent results in the top eight .... I predicted Nigel was in 'trouble' after the defeats to Charlton and the Owls ... things haven't really got better so draw your own conclusions...

    Brighton 3-0 up against Palace, very worrying times for you.

    You've lost 3 in 5. Conceding 10 goals.

    ****e form for a team gunning for autos. Surely you must also be worried?

    Not one bit, were still second going into a 2 week break, never deserved to lose yesterday so not worried about the performance either. Leicester on the other hand are sliding down the league, playing awful, nobody knows if theres gonna be a manager in place by Tuesday and only goal difference is keeping them in the play-offs, see were im coming from now......

    Not really - we are still 2nd with 8 games to go and after all the angst of yesterday we have clocked another game off without losing any ground. If we can match the results of Watford and Palace (who are our only genuine contenders now I think) over those 8 games we will finish 2nd.

    To be fair though if we lose to Huddersfield and Watford then yes i may start getting worried about 2nd spot.

    Pains me to say it but Forest have the momentum and are not out of a late challenge for second if the rest of us can't stop the inconsistency ... still think we will there in the last game .. purely because that's 'sods law' not because I see our fortunes getting any better at this stage - I don't - we are playing with such low confidence that if we fall behind we are now more likely to lose than not ...

    Why are you mentioning us on a thread entitled "Rival Watch"???

    If I were you I'd be more concerned about how your owners will respond to being £75m in debt and trying to serve a £28m wage bill from the Championship next season.

    I'm only replying to your mate.

    You can ask why your fellow Hull fans keep including us in their "Our rivals - Today" threads.

    Now now Strov behave... you are not there yet and this game has a strange habit of coming back to bite you on the arse .... it's not over until the fat lady sings ... although admittedly she may well have one hand gripping Nigel's scrotum right about now ...

    Your in the top 6 so course your a rival for now. This International break has come at a great time for you, chance to re-group as they say, Knocky should be back for your next game by then and IF Pearson is to leave theres abit of time to sort the situation out, were as id love to have a game next weekend (as would our players no doubt) after yesterday's result which went against the performance really.

    Oh, I agree Fossie, I think our chances of automatic are now 50-50, but looking at who you still have play, I think your chances of making the play-offs are less than that.

    A lot will hinge on our next home game and on Palaces home form.

    For you I think it's now between you and Brighton for the last play off spot and they are in much better form.

    I'd say your chances are less than 50-50 because you can't rule Palace out yet. I think Hull and Palace will rue this weekend's opportunity to make ground on Watford though.

    I'm a Hull City fan. Nothing disappoints or surprises me anymore.

    So the case has ruled that they did something wrong, and there needn't be any punishment. Wow.

    Wrong. It was not another win for Forest actually, it was a Hull City gift to Forest. Our Awful / Wasteful missed chances allowed NF to leave Hull with the 3 points.

    As for the Foxes it does not look good does it ? You lose to Derby and there manager says they were poor. Oh dear and what does that result do for Nigel Pearson now ? Guess we shall all find out in 7 weeks time eh ? ;)

    Well, I'm not wrong am I? You lost.

    We didn't lose to Derby, we just played poorly and they took all the 3 points... But we DEFINITELY didn't lose, so I don't know what you are talking about?
