*CHAMPIONSHIP weekend FIXTURES 1-3 Dec*

[Seagull Mags]

Strange concept but might not suit us being top of the table... Added pressure and teams raise their game, I think it may suit us not to go top and pull away from the chasing pack together with Newcastle in harmony.... Thoughts?

Not sure about not wanting to be top but (right now) I'd certainly take creating a gap to 3rd as being more important than trying to overhaul Newcastle. Add to that a bunching of teams in 3rd - 10th so as to make the play offs their prize and it's a perfect world for me

Exactly my thoughts

Not really bothered about what everybody else does. To me the only thing that really matters is us continuing to average two points a game for the rest of the season.

Cant see Forest doing us any favours. They have the odd good game but are generally yet another very average Championship side. Newcastle should win that comfortably by at least a couple of goals.

Can see Fulham maybe holding Reading to a draw though.

But what if the teams below us average 2.9 points per game :'(

This is Forest we are talking about, I reckon they'll put more past Newcastle than anyone has, but they'll concede seven or so

Won't happen, so therefore not bothered.

I can see Fulham beating Reading. IMHO Reading are in a false position.

Unpossible.

As long as we don't REPLICATE last seasons result at Cardiff or our run in December I will be HAPPY

 

[Durlston]

I can see a few goals in the Nott'm Forest v Newcastle game tonight so I've gone for 3-1 to Toon (11/1). I was looking for some first goalscorer value and the best on offer realistically was Ayoze Perez (13/2). The strikers are a bit short for me even though they're firing this season. Perez has about half a dozen which is ok as he plays just behind the one up front in a strange formation but it's working for them.

 

[Ernest]

Time to cheer on Forest

 

[Joshski]

I'm calling a 2-2 draw!

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Go go Notts. Forrest.

 

[DFL JCL]

Newcastle look a bit vulnerable on the counter

 

[Ernest]

Forest goalie is USELESS

 

[DFL JCL]

Forest goalie is USELESS

Agreed

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

76% Newcastle possession.

 

[DFL JCL]

Shelvey looks very comfortable at this level.
