Have you gone or got a feed ? Genuinely asking

[Husky]

"Referee's display is a farce" - welcome to The Championship!

[DE.]

A point towards safety... make no mistake, the rest of this season is a relegation fight. Let's hope these eternal underachievers have enough about them to keep us in the division until the summer, then Lambert wields the axe in a big way. Fingers crossed we'll get another league win before the season ends.

[K-Hod]

At least we didn't lose I guess. Frustrating that we went behind again! Still, hopefully we won't do that next time.

[chaddyrovers]

full time.

[Leonard Venkhater]

Wouldn't be first bloody time at that place would it...

Ashley Ward?!

[Tom]

Decent enough point, keeps us 9 above them and a point further ahead of the team third bottom.

Not losing was more important than winning.

We are going to have to pick up some wins soon and some tough games to come

[Husky]

The next time we take the lead we will win.

I can't wait.

[G Somerset Rover]

6 of our next 8 league games, on paper, look like defeats unless there is a huge upturn in performances. We could be up to our bloody necks come March.

Are you watching the game?

[LewisF]

Got to be winning these games. Sounds like Jackson played well when he came on. I'd play Ward rather than Duffy against Oxford

[matt83]

On the one hand at least we didn't lose but on the other hand if we can't beat Charlton (and Bolton) the two worst teams in the division then there's no hope.

[bluefred]

We're probly going to be better against the better teams

[BlueMonday]

Good point, but we are definitely in the relegation dog fight now.

Long haul.

Forest only managed a 1-1 draw in Charlton's last home game and they've just won at Boro.

[Dan]

Why is that funny?

He puts lol after everything. I think he is meaning Lots of Love?

[Tom]

Football is odd, people complain we are in a relegation scrap then complain when we end the day further away from the drop zone than when we started.

[G Somerset Rover]

We haven't won in the league since 8 games ago and haven't beaten a decent team all season. But I admire your positivity.

Not really 'complaining' Tom. Would say it's right to still be very concerned about relegation given our fixtures in Feb / early March.

[BlueMonday]

L.O.L. - Look Out Lambert.

[Stuart]

Leave it Out La

[West Yorks Rover]

Well, one big positive from this week, Rhodes is scoring goals again.

But my God the rest of em do seem to put a lot of efforts "well wide"

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Any point away is ok. Home where we need to show a bit more. Very reminiscent of early Hughes days. Needs to be given time.

Lambert's biggest mistake was coming in and promising attacking football and a play off push. Made a rod for his own back.

If he had come in and stated that the squad would need rebuilding and this season about consolidation- then he would be getting more slack.

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Ah, but the Bowyerite argument will be that he never looked much cop here. Even though that could be attributed to a lack of gametime and the manager not playing to his strengths.

Flip side of that was that most anti-Bowyer fans said it was a mistake to bring him back and that he wasn't good enough.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing - at the time he was here he didn't do much when he had game time and to be honest other players looked far better in his position.

It isn't one I would blame Bowyer for one way or the other.

I saw all that as an ultimate goal, as I don't recall him saying that was what would be happening right away. (Though I'm happy to be proven wrong if that was the case).

[VinjayV4]

Ashley Ward?!

Indeed.
