Just having a quick scan through their forum about the 6 pointer coming up, you thought we were negative....

i agree, we have not won away yet but given their form that might not matter. I would take a draw personally!

Check out the tail end of the "Forest" thread. There's a a few words on it there.

TBF, I'd rather be in a relegation battle with Nick Clegg as manager than Steve Cotterill!

Hope we can capitalise on their negativity because I'm feeling lots of positivity at the moment so sure hope it's the same among the players!

i love this quote:

Coventry, like a cold, unrelenting tank division will rumble through the city ground. A clear victory, gifted to them by the sparse survivors of battles once lost - now watching as those tank treads crush and powder the brittle Forest bone beneath them.

Nothing will stop their resurrection, just as nothing will ignite ours. No touchpaper so willing - no fuel so abundant.

Crazy isn't it? All 3 are better than anyone in our squad. Something's gone horribly wrong for them to be in the relegation zone.

Thats the worry isnt it !

With our away form, you do have to worry that we dont go bearing our usual "gifts" away from home

It's all because Cotterill is a massive tosser.

This is the manager who claimed Pompey outplayed us last season when we beat them 2-0 at the Ricoh and 3-0 at theirs.

The 2-0 at the Ricoh they didn't have a shot on target until about the 85th minute.

The man is a bitter bitter loser and I bet his squad hate him.

They've got a good squad with no unity - we've got a shit squad who love the manager. I'll go for a 1-1 draw.

Hopefully Cotterill will have had a hand in sending two clubs down this year. That only leaves one space that I hope we avoid filling.

I dont think this will be easy at all, we cannot score and nor can they. One goal could nick it

Going to be a really tough game.

With confidence and belief in winning fragile all games are going to be tough..... like they say there are no easy games.

This is not a AT in or out comment or a crticism etc ........... I think this sort of game is a decent test of AT, to see if he can motivate and focus his players, to see if he can react quickly to game situations, to see if he can set the team up to win, to see if he has got through to the players how to see a game out and to see if they can string some results together. Fingers crossed he gets them to repeat the Leeds form

We also need to be up for it from the off. Against Reading, Middlesborough, Ipswich and Leeds we started off very slowly. Could have easily been a couple of goals down early against Middlesborough and Ipswich and Leeds too.

Agreed Otis, would seem lady luck smiled on us in those games first 20 minutes - we cannot rely on that though. Need to be at it from the first to the last minute.

Tell you one thing Nimely & Norwood have brought to the team - a winning mentality, they both have been schooled at teams that accept nothing less. Somehow i get the impression that losing has become an attitude at CCFC - another player with their attitude (AN & ON)could make all the difference

You are spot on Otis - first 20 minutes will be vital - if we get at them, dominate them the Forest crowd will turn on their team. Their confidence must be rock bottom and with the crowd on their backs and that tosser Cotterill ranting from the side lines they will be there for the taking - fingers crossed AT can fire up our boys enough to get the job done.

I don't see it being decided by more than one goal either way-Forest's tactics and overall mentality don't suggest a massive goalscoring threat, and our own timid attacking away from home is very well known. What's for sure is that we can't have a repeat of the Reading performance, where a terrible first half made the second half almost an irrelevance-totally agree with Otis and Jan on the importance of hitting the ground running.
There's the potential for two big psychological burdens to be lifted tommorrow-a first away win, and a first time outside the bottom 3 since October; what an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Just wish I could be there!

To be fair Forrest used to be a good team and looked bright under Billy Davies. They were in and arond the playoffs.

If you are in the bottom 3 fans are going to be negative as its a negative situation.

Could be the perfect time to play them and pick up our 1st 3 points on the road and that would be massive!

The pyschological effect of being outside the bottom three is going to be absolutely massive. What a boost that would be to the club, team, manager and fans.

Let's hope we win and do indeed exit the relegation places.

It would have such a huge bearing on our morale and spirits and would also greatly boost the attendance the following week against Bansley.

I love this quote:

Hope we do lose. I'm getting off on this now, like watching a siege or the raoul Moat coverage

Haaaaa!!!

And the "0-8"

Can't wait for this but at the same time really apprehensive. I just hope the pressures too much for Forest and not us.
