Well after today's results this is how the play offs down to us stands...
3rd Luton played 38 points 63
4th Huddersfield played 39 points 63
5th Sheff U played 38 points 61
6th Blackburn played 39 points 61
7th QPR played 37 points 59 ( play Peterborough tomorrow so probably +3)
8th Middlesbrough played 37 points 59
9th FOREST PLAYED 36 POINTS 58.
It is in our hands fellas, our run in consists of arguably only a handful of teams with something to play for -
Luton ( play offs)
Bournemouth ( going for second and nailed on to get it)
Fulham will already be promoted and most likely crowned champions by time we play them.
Coventry ( potentially chasing play offs)
Everyone else is going to be in mid table nothing to play for or for the likes of Peterborough dead and buried. Teams above us will be playing each other and taking points off each other, we keep going as we have been and we will be fine!

I can't see QPR or Blackburn being in the top 6 at the end of the season. They have been poor since the turn of the year.
So it will probably be 4 from Luton, Huddersfield, Sheff Utd, Boro and Forest.
My only concern for Forest is with squad depth / injuries, after the international break we're going to have to play 12 games in less than 40 days. It will take a huge effort from an already depleted squad.

It will take a huge effort from an already depleted squad. I'm not sure we have a depleted squad, no shadow of a doubt we are weaker without McKenna and cook but are we considerably weaker? I guess that will be seen during the games they miss. I keep forgetting we have the likes of panzo, MBE soh, and laryea, whether they will step up and make a good contribution is anyone's guess, there must be a reason why colback is preferred at left back while max lowe is out, but I think he has been good there for a start and he is also a focal character within our team. Steve cooper isn't stupid and I think he knows how to utilise our players and when he needs to utilise them. Hopefully we don't get many injuries, but if we do get a couple more then hopefully they aren't in key areas/ the same area. I think it's in our hands, grabban back will be a good thing and Lolley has hopefully returned to the fold now and can contribute |

We will definitely miss McKenna and Cook. Anytime we have had a chance to get into or stay in the top 6 we have not really took it.
Having said that Cooper has done a remarkable job, but we should take nothing for granted and look at one game at a time.

Luton midfielder - pelly Ruddock mpanzu gone off injured not being able to out weight on his foot, looks like he will most likely miss Friday's game
