Assuming Forest get a 4 point FFP penalty, 30 points will be enough to stay up.

Have we got enough to get 13 points.....4 wins and a draw.....I doubt it but you never know......

What if Luton get 9?

Re: Trafford back in goal for next game.

I am not a huge fan of Muric, but for heaven's sake why did it take until 28th game to play him when you look at the goals conceded by our defence. Muric needs to play now unless he has at least two stinkers in a row If Muric has 2 stinkers in a row resulting in 2 defeats we'd just as well give Vig...

Sometimes, size matters. It just does.
