And we've still to go to Luton, Barnsley, Wigan, who are all picking up points at the moment.

There is NO easy game in this next dozen fixtures, sadly.

While this is certainly true, it is true for every other team in this division as well and not something unique to Rovers.

Its an absolute outrage that Mowbray had Reed plugging away (often ineffectively) out wide because "he didnt know the position." I dont think I've seen anyone this season bar Kalvin Phillips in this l

What?! Do you not remember them relegating us pretty much singlehandedly? They lost to crappy Bristol 4-0, and then put out such a woeful youth team that Arry's Brum beat them with 10 men. S

Bennett always comes across as a class act to me, sure he’s had a nibble back a couple of times when people have tweeted directly at him but he’s within his rights to do so. I wouldn’t have his a

Andy Cryer ,the miserable git formerly of the LT, is constantly tweeting about how useless they are. Seems they have no striker  

He was complaining whilst they were in the top 6 to be fair. Dont like Lee Johnson at all.

They do have the firepower though, Nakhi Wells has 14 goals overall this season, albeit 13 for QPR, and Diedhiou has 10 goals. Their deficiencies are in other areas.

Ya, he is always complaining to be fair

They would need Wells to get going there as he doesn't seem to have continued his QPR form

He had Eze E behind him at QPR, a player that has been tearing it up this season. Interesting Spurs and Chelsea now.

Ya, Eze E looks a handful alright. It can be like that for strikers, there is the Irish lad whose name escapes me, was on loan at Swindon from Bradford, scored a ridiculous amount of goals, Bradford recalled him , played 6 games for them and never scored before joining Swindon permanently.

Watched Cardiff against Forest last night. I have to say, we certainly look to have more about us than Cardiff, far more.  They had a guy playing upfront, Glatzel, he cost £5.5 million from Germany. The price tag made me compare him to Gallagher , from what I saw last night Gallagher is certainly more athletic. This guys main strength seemed to be diving to win frees, which he did pretty well to be fair. No world beater though, that's for sure. If we spent €5.5 million on a player from the continent, I would certainly be expecting better. 

Forest have some quality players in key positions; the keeper looks good, Worrell at the back is very solid, Watson in midfield was immense and Grabban upfront a real handful. The guy who scored, Lolly and Cash all look decent too. I think they might be the ones to put pressure on Leeds. Not unbeatable either though by any stretch of the imagination. 

Big season, all there for the taking!

I think Forest are similar to us in that they've had some very good players there over the years, but never found the right manager to get them playing well enough as a unit. Seems like they might have finally found their guy now though.

If you’d have said when we went down with Forest in 1999 and then when Sheff Wed followed in 2000 that they wouldn’t be back up to the top flight for at least 20 years, you’d never have believed it.

They were two big, traditional clubs that had been right up there for a lot of the previous decades.

It’s been 16 years for Leeds now too. That’s why I was so angry to what we inflicted on ourselves in the 2010-2012 era, it’s bloody hard to get there, so don’t throw it away!

What a disappointment.

Looking at it with rose-tinted glassed, Swansea and Milwall lost in the fight for 5th/6th. Because that is the group we are working with, considering our limitations. Leeds, Forest and Fulham (maybe Brentford) are probably a level above.

We just have to hope we can break the glass ceiling, somehow get in and somehow beat them in the playoffs.

They have gotten themselves in quiet the pickle. I think firing him would probably end up badly for them at this stage 

 

Not sure it can get much worse, but I suppose it would depend who they brought in. I don't think it would be too much harder to find better than Woodgate though in all honesty.

No,but he is a club legend so it's not as straight forward sacking him, I am sure he would have been gone by now if it was anyone else.

Highlights the risk of bringing in somebody like that I guess. Although saying that Berg was a club legend here and he got 60 days or so ?
