Only as long as Vik remains fit throughout! It's amazing someone in his position where you always likely to get kicked or receive a head injury has not only been available throughout, but also played the full game in nearly every match. Not sure we could rely on the same happening next season...

While 10 points still gives us a mathematical chance, realistically we need to win all our remaining games to make the play offs. Monday's game is big - just hope we can win again and keep it interesting for a while longer.

Like we did this season with Waghorn?

We always seem to draw against them, and I think that is the likeliest result this time round. The uglier the game the more it will suit them. A big deciding point could be their pitch. This time last year it was rock hard & bobbly and we had to adapt by playing the ball forward earlier, rather...

and over only 42 games

Gyokeres is player of the season for me, and the one of our big 3 I least want us to lose as I think he will be hardest to replace. I suspect he is the most likeliest to leave though, as I suspect he will command the biggest fee.

I didn't see that. If he did though then he was spectacularly stupid, given he has 5 more games to play where he now can't afford a single booking.

Thought he was a little unlucky with the booking yesterday. I suspect if another player had made the tackle they wouldn't have got booked.

Who knows? I don't imagine Waghorn joined us not expecting first team football!! When Patterson was rumoured last Summer I wasn't over keen, as I felt a lot of people that were pushing to sign him were doing so for 'Cov Kid' sentimental reasons, but his performances this season have been good...

In retrospect the signing of Waghorn has cost us quite dearly. He was evidently our flagship Summer signing who was supposed to fit in playing just behind our main striker, be it Godden or Gyokeres. Our investment in him however has not been matched by his return, and looking back we would have...

There were a couple of games at the start of the season where our defence were at 6's and 7's, but apart from that we were mostly competitive. By the end of the season I think the team as a whole had more belief they belonged in the Championship, which helped lead onto the improvement this season.

I don't think we 'all' underestimated the likely improvement. I remember pre season that you were particularly pessimistic, but given the young age of our team and the year's experience of the Championship under their belts, it was reasonable to expect an improvement from our existing players...

There must also surely be an exception to newly promoted teams to the PL, as they are hardly going to be able to compete on a budget based on their previous season in the Championship. Imagine that scenario for us if say we had somehow got promoted this season, but next season could only spend...

Probably an effect of being on the edge booking wise, and to be fair there was still quite a bit of play to go on from there before they actually scored. If we had the ball in a similar situation 9 times out of 10 we wouldn't have made anything out of it.

Funnily enough prior to this injury there were newspaper stories about him being close to getting a call up. At the time of his injury his confidence was really high and he had developed more to his game than being a stopper. When he returned from his injury, while he was still as effective...

Unfortunately the last transfer window spoke volumes. Despite being well below us at the time Forest showed real intent in strengthening their squad and maximising their use of the loan system, while we did the opposite. Subsequent injuries, Hamer suspension, player tiredness etc have ensured...

Surely MR won't play Dabo at CB again - will he?

The trouble is that by doing that the problem remains. Referees already have the authority to add time for time wasting! I'm fine with people being traditionalists (I am for the most part too) but in respect to this issue I think we have to keep things as they are and trust referees to deal with...

Worst memory that comes to mind was the awful atmosphereless bonfire 0-0 game with Bradford at HR. Truly the worst most miserable game I have ever watched, even worse than the odd hammering over the years like the Notts County 5-1 game, where they could easily have scored 9, but the gallows...

Wasn't at that game but was there when Aloisi did the same to Danny Mills. Soltvedt then scored us a late winner despite our ten men. Another 10 man victory I remember watching was a 3-0 win in the cup at Filbert Street, after I think Boateng was sent off around half time. Mind you we did have...
