Whether do-able or not, and regardless of whether Forest get any deduction the aim should be to gain six points on them in the next eight matches.
That would leave us going into the last game a win away from going above them at the end of the season.
It's as simple as that.

Re: January transfer window rumours.
Why do we need a left back? In Charlie Taylor we have a good quality Prem quality solid defender. Whilst his attacking abilities might not be that good our major problem has been defending and he is far better than most in our defence at doing exactly that. The problem that the club and VK in partic...

I presume there's a new rule in football that says you must at all times pass the ball out from the back, even if it means gifting the opposition a goal.

Very little. If Everton were to get some points back then we’d be having to catch teams who are running at around a point per game. To get to that level by the end of the season we’d need another 26 points from 17 games. The phrase "Too good to go down" probably applies to Everton in the current ci...

I always wondered what would have happened if we'd have got to Wembley in the League Cup. Would we have maintained our play-off push, or would getting to the final been too much of a distraction? Basically, do we have to thank Roman Pavlyuchenko for now being a regular (sort of) in the Premier League?

One thing I don't understand is why some are still fighting in court to have their names cleared.
Surely anyone who got convicted using the Horizon system should have had their conviction automatically quashed due to all the evidence being unreliable.
