BRINGING DOWN THE PALACE! (A match thread)

There’s 8 games left after this and six of them we should be able to get something from, so it’s not must win. But it does feel that, if we lose, we’ll be favourites to get the third relegation place for the first time.

Squeeze yer bum cheeks time. Sangare, Yates and Felipe all starting…

Is niakhate injured or under the patio?

Yates and Sangare in the middle is not dynamic. One of the other but not both.

Also Elanga and Cho not together again.

Chris woods is in but does this mean Riberio is playing when both him and Origi inevitably both go off injured.

Chicago: Looking for Dynamism.

He'll put Elanga up front, like he always has.

It would be nice if he did something else.

Elanga is best running down the wings as Reyna and Ribsy (yeah why not call him that) are middle of the park players generally.

Oh well. Let’s see what happens I suppose.

Chicago: Waiting and seeing.

Anyone else worried about Spurs being Spursy today? I am. A little.

Luton score.

Ffs

The Big Red Train is not smashing shit up.

It's more the mincy pink choo choo at the moment.

I've given up a ticket to do gardening with the kids, still too annoyed about the Liverpool game to contemplate going.

Once again this midfield is fucking garbage. How Sangare and Yates get a game ahead of Danilo and particularly Dominguez is bizarre.

As things stand we're in the bottom 3 even if our appeal is successful.

Munoz is doing a great job of keeping CHO quiet.

It makes no sense but you asked what he'd do and it'll be the same thing he always does.

Amusing to think back to Darren Fletcher on the Garibaldi Red podcast right at the start of the season quite condescendingly dismissing concerns from Forest fans about the club potentially fighting another relegation battle.

'Comfortably mid-table," he scoffed. "Absolutely no way this team will be anywhere near the bottom three."

Shades of 'too good to go down' from 1993. Big, big 45 minutes coming up.

Feared the worst when I saw Felipe and Yates in the starting XI. Plus Sangare who has made no impression at all. And Origi over Elanga seemed a strange one. Elanga has missed some chances lately, but at least he poses a threat. Today Forest have an xG of 0.15 from 6 shots, which seems particularly shit.
But we are particularly shit, aren't we?
