Re: Toffees are in a very sticky situation
Wherever or not they get another points deduction the game against Everton on Saturday is still as close to a must win (for both teams) as you are likely to get. And depending on how many points Everton get deducted then it may be a must not lose. No, sorry that's senseless. It's a must win whatever...

Re: Six Points From Safety... Everton A Must Win?
As mentioned om another post 'hope springs eternal'
but evaporated somewhat, but not totally, after last night's result.
If we lose against Everton then I'm afraid hope, in terms of staying up, will be extinguished.

The Forest point deduction doesn't change our scenario that much. It gives us a tad more hope but that could soon evaporate if Forest win their next game and we lose at Chelsea.
