Having watched us for many a year I can't remember a more complete team , A perfect mix of old and young, Aggression and superb passing and gameplay, With every Forest team over the years there is Always a weakness but this isn't one of them.
If we can get to playoffs then we go up .
Trust me this time it will happen.
We just to get to the playoffs which won't be easy
I think it's time to be bold enough to ask the thread title's question.
- You're currently 8th, only two places and four points below playoff positions, and with one match less than Huddersfield (although, to be fair, with one or two matches more than some of the teams below you).
- You have turned the worst beginning in your history to a march towards hard-fought wins, therefore you're in a clear upwards path. Momentum can make all the difference in difficult leagues.
- Apart from momentum, togetherness is vital for success. And there seems to be plenty of that around.
- For the first time since I've been watching your path, there seem to be no blatant gaps in the roster. I know, the transfer window has not closed yet, and you might lose Johnson, but one player can be replaced.
- The goal difference table makes an interesting read. Between the 6th and the 15th position in the table, the goal difference is 6 goals and below. This means that teams win or lose with difficulty. In such situations, teams with character thrive. And p.C. (post Cooper) you have shown nothing but character.
- The last seven matches of the season (Blackpool, Birmingham, Luton, WBA, Peterborough, Swansea, Hull) seem to me relatively easy, in the sense that most of these clubs may have nothing to fight for when you play against them.
I'm of the same opinion as Lard: if you make it to the playoffs (not an easy task, but certainly a realistic one), you're going up.
