Just racking my brains for some examples. I think it's happened in the Champions League where a team has lost home and away group matches to their opponents before losing again in the first leg, before over-turning the deficit.

But it's a Saturday morning and I can't remember. But if anyone can, please let me know!

Hopefully the vast pool of knowledge within NSC can identify an example...

Perhaps we could play with two strikers, and attack from the off, as even a draw won't suffice

I daresay however we will play our usual conservative 4-1-4-1 and capitulate without a whimper

Sake. 2 upfront and we'll get battered.
4-2-3-1 for me...

Surely we cannot lose to then four times this season - surely!

We don't need to - they only need to draw.

I can only remember Arsenal ever beating us four times in one season.

All the matches have been quite even so we've been unfortunate to lose all of them. We are certainly due some luck tomorrow.

Yep if we have the luck that Derby have had we will be fine tomorrow.

Blackpool beat Forest 4 times in a season - twice in the league and twice in the playoffs - a few years back.

It would have to involve the League Cup and/or the FA Trophy, unless we were drawn again in the FA Cup.

We were beaten three times by Fulham one year, but one of those involved penalties. (League and FA Cup). There probably is an instance somewhere.

Yes, in 1979/80, we lost in League Cup, FA Cup and twice in the League to Arsenal. Mind you, we did get one draw.
