It’s quite a short-term approach from the club; cash in while we’re still Premier League and worry about the medium and long-term when they show up on your doorstep. That would be nice and ambitious if we weren’t somehow flirting with relegation in one of the weakest Premier Leagues I can...

I honestly think that between ourselves and Luton, we’re going to try and out-rubbish each other till the end of the season, and the team that survives will do so on a surprisingly low points tally. I’d be amazed if we won more than 1 of our remaining matches - I don’t look at any of them and...

We could get pasted here, we’re sat on the edge of our own box yet somehow we’re never tight on the man. When we get the ball, we’re useless with it.

I think Burnley became an irrelevance after today - they need to make up 6 points and 21 goals on us across 6 remaining matches when they’ve only won one match all year. They’ll need 2 points per game to stay up from here, and even that probably wouldn’t be enough. For ourselves, I think we...

Our pathetic performance vs Palace may yet prove costly, it was one of our most winnable matches and we were poor. We know that Luton have a kinder run-in, but they have a lot of other things on their side too - they’re a lot like us last season in that they’ve got the spirit, belief, and the...

Danilo’s only 22, though, it makes loads of sense to develop him and see the benefits of that, especially given that his best performances at the club have been very, very good indeed. If we’re afraid of players making mistakes then we’ll struggle to ever have good players - failure is the way...

Terrific performance. Fulham had more of the game 2nd half, and our defending from corners was terrifying, but we really should have scored 6 tonight with the chances we had. Yates and Danilo just worked in a way that other partnerships haven’t worked. Danilo is just a natural footballer who can...

The problem with needing to win 3 games out of 8 is that we’ve only won 3 of our last 15, four of which were played against lower league opposition where we scraped 2 of those wins, one each AET and penalties. Apart from the West Ham game, I don’t think we’ve been the better team in any of those...

So our plan is for Luton to hopefully be bad enough that we just cling on to survival. After we equalised, it was a really disheartening performance, we had no idea how to win and it looked to me like the manager didn’t, either. It’s obviously a tough league with no easy games, but this was...

I don’t know how Origi gets a game, but it’s the same with Yates, as it was with Tavares for a while, too. I’m not saying these players don’t work hard, that they’re devoid of ability, but there are better players than them on the bench. I don’t know how Dominguez doesn’t start when we look a...

Our squad, their manager, that’s what I’d want ideally. We shouldn’t go down, but I think we’re 50/50.

If Burnley build on their result at the weekend, we could end up in a nightmare scenario where the last day is a shootout between them and us for survival. I certainly feel that Burnley have the best squad in the bottom 3, but they’ve invested in younger players and are perhaps hoping to...

I don’t think he’s a terrible manager, but I never thought he’d be a good Forest manager. If he was sacked tonight I wouldn’t care at all.

Luton are on course for around 30pts, a terrible tally and one that in any other season would see them doomed. The problem is that we have been shit, on and off the pitch, and the culmination of that will make 30pts difficult for us. We’re heading for 33pts at the minute, so you can see how...

My concern with today is that Luton played as badly as I can imagine a Prem team playing, and we still didn’t beat them. They were flat and lifeless for most of the game, but we just dropped deep and handed them set-pieces until we inevitably threw the points away. Our next 3 home games are our...

Burnley holding on will be very unhelpful to us should we be deducted 6 points.

Manager has cost us the game by sticking 11 behind the ball for the last fifteen. These looked deflated and we gave them the initiative.

The scale of Cooper’s achievement in getting us promoted was downplayed. We have been a disharmonious club for decades and he seemed to somehow unite the warring factions and keep them together even when we looked dead and buried last season. I feel like Marinakis never liked to feel second-best...

Terrible refereeing decision, but you take that out of the equation and it’s another game where a lack of composure at both ends of the pitch has resulted in another loss. We had enough of the game to have taken a point, but in the end their goalkeeper hasn’t really made a save. A lot is made...

One of those days where you look at the team and desperately hope that you’re completely wrong.
