Tonight with the slightly weird KO time of 19.00. A win for Forest takes them to 2nd but anything else leaves Bournmouth long odds on favourite for the 2nd promotion spot.

We are all Forest tonight aren't we? A decent city, a proper club with history in a stadium sandwiched between the oldest club and the cricket ground versus the Petro dollared, Ruski owned, Plucky Bournmeouth and their half a dozen fans in the noddiest stadium to grace the PL.

Come on you Reds.

You say 'long odds on favourite for the 2nd promotion spot', however I think a win mathematically guarantees them that - regardless of what happens on the final day?

I was banned for writing something about the Nottingham owner last time around but... well, nothing.

Hoping for a Nottingham win tonight and think they should be considered favourites to win it. Quite a remarkable turnaround from them considering their season start, but like I've said all along they have a very good squad by Championship standards, although I didn't think they would compete for a top 2 place.

I'd say both of these teams has a pretty good chance of going up regardless of the outcome.

Whats not to like about the trio of Fulham, Forest, Luton coming up? Nathan Jones has done wonders at Luton. Do we really want "Plucky little 'Muff , or 'Uddersfield or Sheffield back?

I don’t normally get all frothy about which teams I like/dislike but must make an exception for Bournemouth.

Perhaps I’ve just been unlucky but have found their fans to be some of the most irritating, loathsome and entitled idiots I have encountered across all four divisions.

Not helped by two awful AFCB ‘fans’ I’d met through work, both of whom were middle-aged new breed, having never set foot inside Dean Park before 2017. But god were they full of it, every bloody week banging on about their team and how much better they were than everyone else.

100% Forest for me please.

We’d get a bigger ticket allocation at Forest than at tinpot Bournemouth so them I suppose. Not really bothered either way though, just two more teams.

Forest can finish 2nd? Crikey. Am I correct in thinking it was the start of this same season that Hughton couldn’t win for toffee? That’s some recovery if correct.

Correct. It was in reference to if they draw, they just need to avoid defeat against Millwall at home. Millwall could still make the play offs though - albeit unlikely - so at least they might give them a game.
