    Only allowed one per game aren't you so it wasn't?

    We might not have to do anything more, so can explore the squad and use the games to prep for the final.

    We might lose Thursday and get relegated.

    What an exciting season. Right to the end with carrot and cess pit still in play.

    The Abbott injury was, I believe, but radio Nottingham failed to notice and report it. Therefore if you are only allowed one MGW wasn't.

    I could be wrong, of course. I don't bother to check the fine detail of the laws and their interpretation on account of them being made up lying bollocks.

    Surely the concern here is whether Gibbs-White was concussed and therefore unfit to play on Thursday for his health. Not whether it was technically classed as a concussion sub at the time.

    Looks a broken nose and a dozen stitches.

    Even if he declared himself fit, will he be?

    Quite. West Ham are six points behind us with a vastly inferior goal difference. Their next game is at home to Arsenal, who were outstanding in the first half on Saturday and blew Fulham away.

    Nine times out of ten, Arsenal win that fixture comfortably. If that happens, then it doesn't matter if Forest lose their last three. Even if West Ham somehow manage to beat both Newcastle and Leeds, they can only draw level on points with Forest at best, and they ain't doing that with a 17-goal swing.

    Again, Fray put this question to Pereira after the game and he said Gibbs-White was not concussed - his injury was a 'deep cut to his face'.

    I've no idea whether it's possible for that to heal sufficiently in less than three days. Suspect maybe not.

    You get that deep cut to the face by being hit really fucking hard and your face splits...

    Which causes concussion, Shirley?

    Can only repeat (I think for the fourth time) that the manager said after the game - when directly asked by Radio Nottingham - that the player had not been concussed.

    Might be fibbing, of course, but he was clear there was no concussion.

    Concussion is an injury to your brain. A deep cut on your face doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve got a concussion

    Thursday night, 92nd minute, Gibbs White rises at the far post to head the ball back across goal to the far corner. The ball opens his stitches and blood sprays everywhere. He sprints across the pitch to the Forest fans, which is also in the direction of Wolverhampton, to deliver his trade mark celebration, blood streaming down his face.

    It is written.

    Decided not to try and stay up to watch that one… have got a lot on at the moment and sleep is important, kids.

    So got up and put the 10 minute highlights package on… saw who was playing and thought ‘wise choice by me, there’.

    What the fuck happened? Remarkable stuff by team and manager. Not just that game, but everything since half time in the Burnley game.

    It’s not mathematical but anyone who reckons WetSham have a hope of getting 7 points from 9 needs to take that shit to Ladbrookes and get the mortgage paid off.

    Vitor always looked like a ‘whoever we can get’ appointment to try and wrangle enough points to stay up so we can go get a shinier manager in the summer. He still might be, because EM is a brutal man.. but it’s looking very much like he’ll be in charge until mid-October.

    Reading this thread from the start, knowing what happened, was great fun.

    The trouble with this comment is, it wasn't an attempt at humour.
