They were terrible last night, as were Luton the night before.
As another great philosopher once said to me ‘what a waste’. |  | | |

On their day, Florest should go up........but it is a lottery now.
Just hope Luton drop out of the playoffs on the last day. That will do nicely. |  |

I can see Luton having it in them to beat Reading, despite their tendency to do an us under pressure. If that happens I can see them actually going up given that they seem to do well against the other 3 around them. Then they will go up, get loads of money and probably get tonked 10-0 every week. But they will then have lots of money.
I think if they do screw it up on the last day then that could be it for their chances over the next few years. The chance to replace Watford should be incentive enough.
I just can't believe Luton are in this position while we drift south. |  |

Very true and some still call this a sport. | | | |

You have to wonder what mental effect last night's defeat might have on Forest. If they'd won they'd have been in pole position for auto promotion...now they know they've got to do it all over again, three times.
Bit like how members of our 2004 side said if they'd blown auto they'd have struggled to get going again for the play-offs. |  | | |

I think Sheffield Utd will win them |  | | |

I was shocked by how poor they were in that second half last night.
The fcking hype and hyperbole around them has become so insufferable I cancelled my Athletic subscription last week because some of the stuff they've published of late would shame the official matchday programme, so I was expecting them just to turn up full of beans and absolutely steamroller Bournemouth last night. Half time, 0-0, suits Bournemouth, I expected them to go into a full Scott Parker shthouse routine and try and see that out, instead Forest barely got out of their half for the full 45 minutes. Never showed up.
If they do that in the play-offs I'll laugh myself to death. |  | | |

The fact they've made a late run rather than been up there all season may lessen this effect though. Once it gets to the playoff final anything can happen as we know.
Luton probably couldn't wish for a better game than Reading. Not very good and now safe with thoughts on their holidays. [Post edited 4 May 2022 12:13]

Didn't cooper fail last 2 playoffs | | | |

I hope they go up to be honest, sick of playing them. Would be hilarious if like Swansea last year, Forest fail in the playoffs and then Steve Cooper buggers off again |  |

Last night was Forest's big chance, think they might have blown it. I can see Luton drawing at home to the fakes and Middlesbrough overtaking them on goal difference by winning at Preston and then winning the play offs. |  |

Hoping it’s either Boro, Hudds or Chef Utd that win the play offs
Love to see Lootown drop out….. cannot have them and Millwall in them
Hopefully Florist blow it and they sack Cooper |  |

With all the injuries at Forest I believe they only have 45 fit squad players left? | |

I'm just as guilty, but why don't any of us fancy Huddersfield to win the play offs?
They've proved us wrong all season & it's possible that they will continue to do so. | | | |

I have only seen the highlights of the Bournemouth-Forest game, so I will take everybody else's word for it about how they played.
Prior to the loss at Bournemouth, Forest had beaten Fulham away, and on Saturday beat Swansea 5—1. Forest are still the form side over the last 10 games, despite losing at Luton and Bournemouth. |  |

3 parachute payments sides go up this season (Fools, Bournemouth, Sheff Utd (I reckon)), 3 parachute payments sides come down (Watford, Norwich, Leeds (I reckon)).
2022-23. 3 parachute payment sides go up (Watford, Norwich, Leeds), 3 come down (let me think..ah yes...that just might be Fools, Bournemouth and Sheff U).
And on we merrily go.... | | | |

Not as outlandish a scenario as you'd imagine. For the last four seasons Fulham and Norwich have passed each other on the way up and down. | |

Forest really do need to go up because there's no way Spence, Johnson etc will be there next season if they don't.
They should have enough for Play Off's, although something feels inevitable about Huddersfield doing it |  |

I'll stick with Forest. They're the best team in it, but I'm spooked by how poor they were last night and of course they have a propensity to choke. |
I didn't see it but my colleagues on RefChat were not that impressed with Mr Atwell in the Forest game.
You? | | | |

Sheffield United have a good chance if they just drill set pieces at the magnitude they did against QPR last week. But then Huddersfield are quietly going about their business and can still finish in 3rd and get Luton which means an epic between Forest and Sheff Utd. I'll go for the Udders |  | | |

A generous 5/10.
Not easy to referee though, two of the poorer teams for the referee crowding, play-acting, shthousing. And the big decision wrong in the game is the lino's fault, not his. | | | |

Main beef was lack of cards, all well and good letting the game flow, high stakes match etc, but you need to 'control' the game at some stage.
Totally subjective view, probably nonsense, but I always get the impression he is trying to avoid the difficult decisions, probably totally wrong !  | | | |
