Will we stay up?

VK has had a couple of weeks to work on the team, let's see how he is progressing.

Tell your nearest and dearest to get well soon BT.

Hope Mrs BT recovers soon amigo.

As regards you staying up....I think VK has found it trickier to replace quality loan players who took the lower level in their stride with players who can cope against top quality opposition every week and he's having to readjust his original thinking.

VK's desire to play his way is admirable but tricky to achieve on a budget where he can't afford players of the quality he was but he ain't stupid and he'll find a way of making it work with what you've got.

Realistically your target for the first season back is to finish in the top half of the mini-league of relegation candidates and that is eminently do-able.
Luton, Bournemouth, Sheff U, Wolves and potentially Fulham are the ones to get ahead of.
Everton might be in the mix but their new owners may inject a bunch of cash in the January window to keep them up and Florist already have done so we'll have to wait and see.

It's very early doors - remember Newcastle with all their big money players are only 3 points ahead of you having played a game more - so league position means nothing at this stage.

Focus on staying in touch with the mini league teams and see where you are in a couple of months' time.

Survival is achievable.

Good performance tonight, with VK finally getting the team more or less right. Forest are a decent side but we matched them and were VARd out of two points

The problem is the PGMOL and the EPL have already decided Sheffield United's and Burnley's faces don't fit in the top flight.

I think they will suffer the Hatters for a season and then return them to the Championship.

No matter what Kompany does we are f*ucked.

Hope that Mrs BT recovers quickly and the magic bullets do their thing.
Remember that Nottm Forest v Burnley is just another game and will be decided by VAR more than likely, so why worry because there are still 34 matches to play after that.

Spot on Supersub, sure was, scandalous.
Hope Mrs BT feeling good today and you got a better night sleep!
