There could be an element of that alright, but I think it'd have been a stretch to describe it as an awful campaign anyway. Unless you mean the NL campaign!

Yeah I'm only talking about the last NL campaign and that downward trajectory.

Fair enough. He described that campaign as "unsuccessful". Might be a coat of gloss there alright.

Yes, will be interesting to see how they get on but the Championship is a tough league and much more interesting than the EPL with a relatively even playing field and any one of 15 teams (Wednesday are 16th) capable of challenging for promotion. I would be surprised if they do better than their predecessor but hey, it's a funny old game. They might have been better off going for the recently left by mutual consent ex Huddersfield manager.

Despair not, as of the 75th min, a cup run beckons.

Done for O'Neill but not dusted for Keane as yet https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2019...-me-at-forest/ Somehow I doubt if Keane enjoys putting out the cones for Mayor-tin. Must have ambition to get back in to management. If Rogers goes to Leicester would Celtic give him a try ?

Cracking result last night for Forest. MO’N has bought wisely and the City is bouncing again. Promotion charge is definitely on now. They’ve been robbed by bad ref calls in the last few matches but look very impressive at home.

MO’N looks really happy at the minute. Definitely a bounce in his step.

Can't see them making the playoffs but that win will keep him in the good books for a while.

**OwlsFan** · 26/02/2019, 2:18 PM

No surprise to see Big Daryl getting his game under MONKE.

**DeLorean** · 26/02/2019, 2:21 PM

Big Daryl could get his game under Big Mick too!

I was thinking the same, but with Bristol City losing on Tuesday it is not totally out of the question, indeed if Forest win again
and Bristol City lose again and the two other teams above them fail to win their next match they would actually be in the
playoffs!!!
Still a tall order though, especially knowing Forest every time they seems to make a bit of progress they tend to fall back again!

Might be different under the new management though, we'll have to wait and see!

so tough to make the play off and then it will be tough to get through them, the book makers make them a 25-1 shot, must have
been about 50-1 before Bristol City lost!

**OwlsFan** · 27/02/2019, 3:33 PM

Sheffield Wednesday are only a further three points back but I wouldn't give them a snow ball's chance in hell of getting through to the play offs so what does that make Forest's chance ? A large snowman's chance ?

**tricky_colour** · 28/02/2019, 1:03 AM

Actually Forest would have been more than 50-1 cos Bristol City were away from home to a team above them in the league, but probably a 1 in 3 chance of winning so they would be 75-1 or 80-1. Which is probably what Sheffield Wed are.
Actually Shef Wed are about 150-1.

All the odds are for promotion, I mistaken put to reach the play offs.

Sheffield Wed have a bad goal difference that is why they are longer than 80-1 they are -7 goals whereas forest are +9 so they would need an extra point to pass Bristol City really.

Tricky, knock off the gambling talk

It is nothing to do with gambling, it is just trying to assign a figure to their chance of promotion to quantify it. If for example I said "Ireland have a good chance of qualifying", you could say that was gambling talk, only difference is I am quantifying "good".

By the way there are adverts for cosmetic breast surgery on the site, something that could kill you. Not sure why they advertise here lol, but if I see any adverts for gambling sites I will let you know!

It makes no sense alright Tricky. You’re already surrounded by a load of tits.
