Hate Swansea.... hope it's a Barnsley v Bournemouth final, with the latter to go up.

Not sure I want all 3 relegated teams to bounce back up. That means the money has won!

 

[Basha73]

Barnsley or Brentford for me. Bournemouth have had their shot and so have Swansea. I know Barnsley also had a shot but that was a long time ago in comparison.

dont really have any feeling about any of them so my default setting is the underdog.

looking forward to watching the BJ v Sunderland clash

i was gonna say or maybe they are just well run clubs? Then realised one of them is Watford who kept pace with us at one time in managerial changes :)

Barnsley are one of the only clubs in the Championship who have been out of the PL longer than we have.

Only just but yes, which is why I don’t particularly begrudge them a return.

There is an interesting story in The Guardian about Barnsley's approach. It appears that they do not loan players unless they have an option to buy, and recruit on a data driven approach. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...arnsley-nurture-unlikely-premier-league-dream
Forest probably have an algorithm that means that they only recruit players that look good playing elsewhere.

Especially if they have looked good in Greece. Hear today we are looking at Akpom, M’boro. Done little at Boro but did score well in Greece. Understand we are also looking at the Elgin Marbles to play left back.

Playoffs in league 1 holds some interest for Forest supporters. We have Gabriel and Johnson out on loan at Blackpool and Lincoln. We are supposedly interested in Yates at Blackpool, Ruffels at Oxford and White at Sunderland.

Didnt akpom have a loan with us some years back?

Tell me more about him.

 

[ZedRed]

Tell me more about him.

He's lightning chap.

 

[radfordinlondon]

He's lightning chap.

He's the one that we want.

Fookin Ayew puts the swans ahead, diving about not long before looking for a pen.

 

[Basha73]

Fucking bollocks! Brentford have lost and Barnsley losing.

In that case I will reluctantly take Bournemouth over Swansea.

 

[mr ron]

Bournemouth over Swansea all day for me, hope Barnsley can turn this round though.

 

[mr ron]

Should be level pummelling them straight from the restart.

Brentford didn't take their chances but created enough to have some hope. Bournemouth barely has a sniff but that's football.
