On saturday and is the early game on TV.

Hard to see Forest winning. Think a 0 - 0 draw with few sending offs be best as Derby in sightish now.

Good incentive for our game (as if we needed one) should Forest not win.

Normally a good game for the neutral this one. At least one red card is expected. A draw preferably or Derby win second choice as a Forest win could spark them back into life after their dismal recent form. At least Leeds aren't on again anyway. :annoyed:

Have to agree that 0-0 with neither side able to gain any momentum would be perfect for us.

Tricky one this. If we beat Ipswich, I would almost want a Forest win. That would leave us still only 1 point behind them with a game in hand, but also drag us up a bit closer to Derby.

I can GENUINELY see us pulling at least one, if not both of QPR and Derby back into the mire. If we win our game in hand we are 4 points behind them both. FOUR. That is absolutely nothing over 10 games.

Yesterday I wanted the draw but today I'm thinking Derby win. If we make play offs we're most likely in 6th and I think I'd prefer Derby to Wigan or QPR so prefer them in 3rd.

I'd want the draw if Wigan were going to finish 3rd but I'm not sure that will happen as they have a much tougher run in than Derby who play all middling/bottom teams after their next game

Derby win please. Top 6 is the aim, and a Derby win maximises our chances of getting there.

Agree , yesterday wanted the draw but a heavy Forest defeat so our GD is better than theirs would be best.

Would give us a buffer to be able to draw a game and still not be over taken should Forest win

Draw please. Derby are struggling - it wasn't long ago they sneaked ahead of Burnley. Derby, Forest & QPR all thought they were in sight of the top 2 & the disappointment of dropping points has piled on the pressure. We could sneak into the top four quite easily now.

Two take-aways from me.

(1) What a job Dyche has done at Burnley. Phenomenal effort
(2) What a job Oscar has done. If we do get into the top six it's a better achievement than last season

As far as I'm concerned, it's still too early to give up on 3rd place - we're only 7 points behind with a game in hand, and the two teams in 3rd are in terrible form.

We can easily catch Derby and we have caught Forest, so I'd take a 0-0 draw and both sides dropping 2 points please.

A draw in effect means both clubs have dropped 2 points.

Poor Derby performance but despite that they stick 4 past Forest who have an early and a late red card. Anomaly for Derby, not really in-form. Forest's problems keep piling up.

So no winners really. Only the Seagulls.
