That could be a very big result for them though, a massive short term boost at the very least :(

Bleddy hope not.

The break for the World Cup could be a blessing for Forest it will give them time for their players to get to know each more. I can’t see that many playing at the World Cup.

Leicester's 4 - 0 win today puts Forest where they belong.

So tight down there, though - only four points separating the bottom 10 clubs. Leeds and Wolves both look a complete mess at the moment.

Not a weekend to be losing if you are at the bottom. Some impressive results for some of the strugglers

Paper and cracks come to mind, 9 points nevertheless how u got them is poor from 12 games. Newcastle up 2-0 regardless of the result what a shrewd appointment Eddie Howes been, bit like our own LW.

Not when you have just come up from the championship and they are trying to sort out their best 11 from the 20+ they have bought.

Oh it's poor without a doubt. The fact they are trying to sort out their best XI at this stage of the season is their own fault. Prior to a hard fought but ultimately fortunate point at the Amex they were frankly awful verging on a joke. I didn't see the Liverpool game but told they deserved the result. That can't be said for their only other win.

What a result from managerless Villa today.

Yeah it's interesting that often the caretaker gets an upturn in results. Would be interested to know if it comes from the managers style being gone or the players wanting to prove to everyone they're not as bad as has been shown. Do the managers who have been sacked think why couldn't you have done that for me. I guess it's different each time but as I say it often happens what as soon as the manager is sacked they get some good results. This can often lead to the caretaker getting hired then sacked for someone proven when results drop off.

They still need 2 points to equal Derbys 11 points they got relegated on :D
