We have also spectacularly dropped points from winning positions against Everton and Wet Spam. On the other hand, we've picked up a lot of points from losing positions. Sunday was probably my favourite.

Pre Forest 7 games gave us 9 points from 18 as one was a cup game. Only 2 of those 7 were above us in the league.
Post Forest 7 games gave us 13 points from 15 as two were cup games. All bar Southampton were above or around us.
Taking the cup games out of the mix its 13-4 in our favour over 5 games post Forest and 8-5 in our favour over 6 games pre forest.
Which ever way you look at it, the 7 games post Forest thrashing have been the best we have performed this season

The first time = Dunk was brought back in too early when JPvH and Igor were doing very well, then Igor got injured.
The second time = JPvH and Webster were doing very well, then Webster got injured.

How wouldn’t we deserve it if we finished high enough to secure Europe? We either get enough points or we don’t, shirley?

It still amazes me how people don't understand how the league system works. It's like the old "luckily there were three worse teams than us" in Hughton's last season. Again, that's the point of a league.

What did you think at 3-2? Confident or I can barely watch this

'Can we forget the Champions League now?'
Seriously? Did a BHAFC fan just say that?

Crazy and wildly frustrating that a season's work can be blown in one disastrous week. Maybe less. In our hearts, I think most of us knew after the Forest game that the season had gone.
Had that shoot out gone differently, maybe momentum could have got us through the two very even games which followed. Ah well, who knows

Hilarious really especially when so many are shitting the bed about Leicester at the weekend'Can we forget the Champions League now?'

Might just scrape the very low (and getting ever lower) bar of the UEFA Conference League if we're luckyHilarious really especially when so many are shitting the bed about Leicester at the weekend
Hearts are intellectually handicapped.
Look at the table and the number of points remaining with your brain instead and you'll find the season is far from over.

It wasn't just the defeat
It was the loss of players which hit us harder, the psychological blow of going out like that also
Sure we might still qualify for a minor European competition. But are these even worth entering since the UCL expanded? The extra games will likely do us more harm than good

The best thing about that would be Sussex plod trying to deal with a load of Polish nutters running around Brighton who would actually have knuckle dusters, chains and other forms of weaponary.Might just scrape the very low (and getting ever lower) bar of the UEFA Conference League if we're lucky

Villa and Newcastle have tough games to finish (after villa's game at saints this weekend) but, they step up to the task of the big games, we haven't lately. The best for us is Europa League me thinks starting with beating Leicester! Don't win that and we can kiss it goodbye(not mathematical of course).
1 things for sure, if we do still qualify for Europe then absolutely we'd deserve it. With so many good challenging teams in the mix and, with our current injury crisis, we'd have done pretty bloody well to finish in a European spot.

They aren’t doing to badly currently sitting in mid table
We might catch Chelsea, or Newcastle, or Man City or Aston Villa but it seems extraordinarily unlikely that we’d catch three of them.

Personally I think it was the loss of Webster.
We were defensively so much more secure with him organising the defence.
Impossible to prove, but I don't see us conceding both the Palace goals with him in the team.
Possibly not the Villa ones either.

Yeah another season to improve, then our best players will be sold and then the cycle starts again
