And we go marching on, up to 6th, probably 1 of our worst performances of late but great result, didn't expect a great game with forest coming to town to try not get beaten, it's these teams with no ambition that we usually struggle against but we kept to our system of patience and possession and once again we get the result we wanted. big well done to Bertie he's sure to start next week? Taking his chance with both hands, don't give him a chance with space on that left foot? and super Ollie strikes again he kept going to the end and to see what it means to him to get his goal is brilliant, we have a chance of the win every week with him in this form.

I don't know if I'd criticize the overall performance necessarily Whack, I think Forrest set up to totally nullify us and it took some time for us to figure them out - But we did in the end, agree it wasn't pretty, but we are a very resilient team and find ways to win matches, long may it continue. Europe is in sight but we play every team around us (and a game against Wolves) between now and the end of the season, there is a genuine shot at Europe but we need bodies back - Cash, Kamara and Coutinho being fit for the run in would be absolutely huge, hopefully we will see them back in action soon.

Im not criticising mate, forest came to shut up shop and try nick a goal, even after we took the lead apart from immediately after it they didn’t exactly throw men forward to get back into the game, all positives from the game, we didn’t lose our shape or our discipline and we kept doing what has being working for us of late we plugged away and got our just rewards, 2-0 a fair result in the end, they caused us very little trouble and had no real chances of note.
For sure it’s all tough games left now but also a lot of the same teams have to play each other so there’s going to be lots of dropped points, it’s anyone’s guess who will get those euro spots.
think back 3 years ago to that final day away at West Ham and how delighted we were jus got to stay up and look how far we have come, we could be playing our last game against Brighton for league position?

Mate, even think back to October 22nd, Fulham away, we looked destined for a relegation battle this season - What Emery has done is nothing short of incredible, I can't wait to next weekend, that will be a real test of where we are at, if we could nab 3 points against Newcastle we have a massive chance of Top 6! Exciting times given this is an Emery side without a preseason and one signing (Duran as well but Moreno probably the only true Emery signing so far).
