Forest 4-3 Saints - Match Thread

[Turkish]

Nothing more dangerous than an injured lion and Reuben and the boys will be hurting right now. Unfortunate in the last 3 games so they’ll be well up for this one. 
 

We are heading into this game with Forest, Everton and Leeds imploding. Leeds away at City so if we can beat Forest we will be only 3 points off safety. we are due a win so I fancy is to get one here and it’s back on

our unstoppable run to safety starts here. COYR!

Few of us have tickets but sacking it off along with most of the first team no doubt.

Forest are Evens at mo. More prostitutes for Warrior

I remember we got relegated at Forest in 2009 , can we be officially down again next week?

Not officially, but if we lose we could only get to 33 points, of which Forest would be on if they beat us. As close to official as you can get without it being official.

Not mathematically but we could be 9 points adrift. If we lose, Leicester beat Everton and whoever they play next and Leeds win at Man city.

That was the last game of the season, we were relegated before that. I was there, we were 1-0 up with 15 minutes left, then brought on Lancashire and lost 3-1. We all joined in the singing with the Forest fans, everyone was just sick of our football by then.

I’m just glad Selles isn’t looking at the table, I’d just hate if he were to become distracted from his ideology due to perceived pressure.

We March on!

[CylonKing]

Please, please, please Saints, if you only win one more game this season, make it this one. At least give me something I can use against all the Forest fans up here. Bright side with relegation ist that there are many more teams in the lower divisions in the Midlands I can get to. Oh, I said bright side, I forgot that this is Saints we're talking about here. Never forget seeing us lose to Notts County in the Redflapp years. So awful! Please, just beat Forest!

On the other hand if we beat Forest, Dyche picks himself for Everton, Leeds decide to play Rugby League instead, Leicester recall Lineker,  Jupiter aligns with Saturn, and King Cnut turns back the waves, we could just survive.

I think we have a great chance if we use our "play stoppers" to their full effect.

A front 4 of Walcott, Adam Armstrong, Elyounoussi and Moussa Djenepo will completely nullify them from source and Forest won't be able to get out of their own half. 

Another Selles masterclass on its way and as he said - we will fight tooth and nail until the bitter end. 

[Cabrone]

If only we'd have kept Europe's most statistically successful manager we'd have been on the beach weeks ago. Sometimes I just don't understand this board.

I think we convincingly beat Forest, they sack Cooper. We then employ Cooper who takes us down without another goal or point. #saintsy

His anus could probably shit out a better teamsheet, formation and tactics than Selles.

Interestingly or uninterestingly, "selles" in French means feces.

Correct, I went there not knowing if we would exist a few weeks later.  And then Marcus arrived….

We need to play to our strengths and those 4 lads are excellent without the ball. Our biggest problem is when they get it, so best thing to do is stop Forest playing and shoot on sight first chance we get. The more shots you have the more likely you are to score so just hit it, eventually one will go in.

Probably the only time at an away game I’ve ever been happy that the stewards were trying to get everyone to sit down. It was Hatton vs Pacquiao the night before and I was very hungover. 

[Saint Garrett]

Got offered a free ticket, still can’t bring myself to go. Club doesn’t deserve our support atm. Bring on next season and the new start,

More must not lose. A draw keeps Forest and Leeds in sight with 3 games left and if other results go our way we could easily be only two wins away from being 16th!

How many games has he set us up to "not lose" that we've actually gone on to do just that? 9 or 10?

I reckon he'll figure it out in maybe 2 more...maybe not.

It's only massive for Forest.

Hands up those who do not realise that Turkish is taking the piss ??

As soon as I read the opening post it was clear 😊

3-0. We all know who to. I’ll let you decide for yourselves 👀😂

Forest are fucking shit, Fulham are on the beach, Brighton will bottle Europe against us and Klopp's Liverpool will defensively implode on the last day.

 

We've got survival in the bag.

What an opportunity this is for Forest by the way, they couldn't have picked a better fixture at this stage of the season if they tried. 

Fighting for survival against a team that checked out of football in December and will finish 20th. Bit of a nightmare for Leicester/Leeds/Everton that this fixture is happening tbh.

Win all our matches and we'll stay up. Remember when Leicester won the league? If you see a fat lady starting to sing, shut that lard-ass up.

Let's keep it tight and do them late on.

Admire your positivity but if we beat Forest it will raise our false hopes before they are dashed again. I could never want Saints to lose but I reckon relegation , a big purge of staff which has started already is what’s needed.

as I’ve said before we’ve been wallowing in mediocrity for the last couple of years. Big picture we have such massive potential .

I think most fans whatever their opinions are suffering from PTSD I know I am.

How injured are we? A sore paw or shot by several tranquillisers and barely in a state of consciousness? 

[Toussaint]

Note to self: stay strong, don’t go to Forest, do not weaken, do not become delusional and think the great escape starts here. Stay home, do the garden, watch Heartbeat on BritBox, get an early night.

Around 2000 years ago lots of hungry people went to a location to hear some geezer speak, they ended up going home with their bellies full of fish and bread. Miracles do happen. BELIEVE
