Re: The objective for the rest of the season

For me it rests on forests deduction. Luton have spurs, arsenal and man City in 3 of their next 4. If forest get 6 points that puts then 2 ahead of us with them coming to the turf last game.

I feel both deflated and excited about our squad, it's very odd. So much talent and potential, so little nous or leadership. It's the next transfer window window that's really important, can we keep our best players when we go down. With more experience and development this squad stays up easy peasy.
