Heard a few say a point wouldn't be the worst result, "at least take something out the game" they say, well f*** that I say.

This is the very dictionary definition of "MUST WIN".

You have to assume its between us & Luton, so with the next 4 fixtures in mind.

Forest: Luton
H Palace A Spurs
H Fulham A Arsenal
A Spurs H Bournemouth
H Wolves A City

How much more of an invitation do we want to put daylight between us & them? No excuses, we've had a decent break to work on the set piece shitfest & more than enough time to drill some plans & get the players f***ing fired up.

Win.

You never know with fixtures on paper but looking at those games I would definitely be disappointed if we are not at least 5 points clear of Luton by the end of that run of games and ideally if would be great if Luton lose badly against the top teams so we can put clear daylight between their goal difference and ours. Clear day light on goal difference would be like an extra point. So Arsenal and City please smash 5-6 goals past them!!!

With our own deduction seemingly decided we know what the task is.

If we don't get 1 more point than Luton over the remainder of the season - and they have several stinkers of matches when we only really have Spurs and City - we don't deserve to stay up.

And that is all we need

Getting the players fired up is the thing for me. In too many post new year matches it's been noticeable how much more the opposition want the win more than us. More decisive, more aggressive, more committed. It's tiring and depressing.

It's called a relegation fight for a reason. It's not a relegation whimper. We have the quality no doubt, we now need the organisation and motivation.

Christ if we can't make our advantage there count something is seriously wrong

3 Home games against 2 shit sides and 1 average one, Vs Luton having 3 away games against 3 of the best sides in the league. Opportunities simply don't get any better than that.

Let's have 'em!

Out of interest, which are the two shit teams out of the 9th, 12th and 14th placed teams in the PL?

Palace and Fulham are shit. Folk were waxing lyrical about West Ham when they played us, but league position is only one part of the story, their away form was falling off a cliff.

Palace have 2pts from their last 18 away. That is utter shit and we simply must be beating teams like that.

Fulham have only faired slightly better, getting 4pts from their last 18 away, but that's still pretty shit and very beatable.

Both these games are big opportunities like the West Ham one.

Wolves form is above average, 10pts from 18 away. So I'd see a point against them as a good result.

But we should come away from those 3 games with more points amassed than Luton.

Definitely need more points than Luton, I'm 100% with you on that.

Can't agree with Fulham being shit though. Unpredictable and inconsistent, but not shit. Last 7 league games include wins over Tottenham and Brighton by three clear goals and away at Man Utd. They are definitely weaker away, and we should be looking to win, but they're far from shit.

At home they aren't, away they are. It's their home form which has them 12th (13pts from 18 at home vs 4pts from 18 away)

They play us away though, and they travel very poorly like West Ham were doing at the time.

Fulham actually have a worse away record than us this season...

We've got to be beating sides like that now. Few travel as badly.

The legend that is Stuart Pearce was in charge of the tunes in the Forest dressing room, and as „Psycho“ was a bit of a fan of the more punk genres, often used to fire up the team with some proper f***ing tunes.

Did Forest lose much when he was in the side? Did they f***.

Nowadays it’s probably some melodic RnB bullshit about your girl running off with your homie, or something.

f*** that. Get some proper aggressive shit banging out, that’ll put some backbone in the players, for once.

Hell if the guys wanted to listen to rap there’s a few scrappy fools from either side of the country (NWA Mob Deep etc) that would definitely get the heart pumping.

If my coach played tornado of souls by megadeth I would’ve ran through a concrete wall for him.

My local side features such bangers as Enter Sandman by Metallica, Last Resort by Papa Roach and Jump Around by House of Pain, as part of the pre-match build up, among other similarly beefy tracks.

If you’re not motivated to go and punch someone in the face after that lot, there’s no hope.
