RE: Crystal Palace - Nottingham Forest - jurgen rober - 05-05-2025
It's going to be tough now but by no means impossible. A win tonight and we can do it. Newcastle have Chelski at home and Arsenal away to play so not easy. It may come down to last day shoot out with Chelski but if we can win the next 3 matches, could well be we won't need the final day win/draw.
Keep the faith.

Ffs - still in our hands. Newcastle and Chelsea both can’t win

Wishful thinking
I am not so sure it is.
Palace have what is probably the biggest game in their history against City coming up.
They also have nothing to play for in the league.
I think they might give one or two of their squad players a run out.
RE: Crystal Palace - Nottingham Forest - The reds - 05-05-2025
We have to believe. Palace recently have been pretty patchy, 1 win in last 6 in the league, Obviously they played a perfect match against Villa though.

I remember Sabri and Swansea.
Bournemouth and Brentford both have winnable ’cup runs’ in my opinion.
If I was the manager of either I would absolutely be targeting us and saying to my team ‘look at their form, lost x amount of games we can catch them’
The longer we go without a win the more likely they are to catch us.

I get it but realistically we probably have enough points already for 7th. Even if we don't we will likely beat Leicester or West Ham even if we don't win today. Not easy to be rational but I think we'll be fine for at least 7th.
Hopefully the fact that we're back to being not favourites again means we can get back the mentality we had earlier in the year.

We need to win a game.
I was hoping 60 points would be enough but after the results at the weekend I don’t think it will be. Problem is the longer it goes on the harder it will be and the more Bournemouth and Brentford will smell blood.

Sniffer just to correct regards Palace, they are now playing for their highest placement/finish in the PL so have plenty to play for!

Compared with being in with a chance of winning their first ever piece of silverware in their entire history (FA Cup) that is a minor detail.
It is just my opinion that is all. I reckon they will rest 2 or 3.
If not then so be it.
We need to beat what ever is in front of us it's as simple as that.
RE: Crystal Palace - Nottingham Forest - JollyLollyAussie - 05-05-2025
Correct Sniffer, front foot and in their faces from the start that all we can ask as Forest fans!

To guarantee it yes, it's unlikely one of them wins all their games. There's a reason they're in 8-10th.

Bournemouth don’t need to win all 3, 2 wins and a draw would do it( better Gd)
This would assume we don’t pick up any more points of course which would seem unlikely, but losing consecutive home games to teams below us seemed unlikely.
RE: Crystal Palace - Nottingham Forest - Trailer Park Tom - 05-05-2025
I believe Nuno will replace an unfit CHO with Dominguez and rotate him with Anderson narrow and wide depending on who has the ball and the state of the game ect.
I wish Nuno would have trusted a couple more players on the bench this season but he won't do it in this game and I don't blame him. If CHO is unfit against Leicester or West Ham I'd rather Sosa come in. One game at a time though.
