Frank Clark’s Tash

If we can't muster a winning performance against league whipping boys Sheffield United, then we absolutely deserve to go down irrespective of all the other bullshit surrounding the club.
I am friendly with a baggies fan who is the same, he does not want to get promoted at any costPreston away, on a Tuesday night, love it!
Seriously though, we can’t go backwards now. The days of being a perennial Championship club and finding some contentment in that have gone.
We are here now and it took a long time to get here. We have to survive or look at bouncing back if we do get relegated, I’m not optimistic on either but that has to be the target.
Its not my bag this league, never followed it before we were promoted and haven’t enjoyed the last two seasons at all if I’m honest. But it’s progress for the club that I have supported over 40 years and Forest belong in the top flight.
Funny though, the Leeds fan who lives a few doors down on my street doesn’t want to get promoted, he prefers the Championship.

Completely agree. We've had many a bad season over the years, many off the field issues, plenty of bad luck - but this year has all of it. It's been a bit soul destroying. My worry is that this is the Premier League. Once the initial shine wears off, it's just miserable.Ultimately I want us to stay in this league as I want us to win every game we play. But, this season has been a mentally draining and at times borderline unbearable. Where to start:
1) The sad end to the Cooper reign (probably had run it’s course) and all the feel good factor that went with his presence
2) Throwing away point after point from winning positions largely via set pieces
3) All of the off the field drama and the stress over points deductions, not to mention the appeals
and counter arguments
4) The fallout from the Season Ticket prices
5) The whole Everton tweet and all the debris from it.
All left a sour taste and us as fans bear the cost. No longer has football been an enjoyable release from everyday life. The on the field stuff I can cope with, but everything else off it has sapped my enjoyment and enthusiasm.
I would probably laugh myself inside out if they broke their own record.One thing I will not feel again is jealousy of other clubs who win promotion to the PL. More likely I'll feel sorry for them, unless it's Derby, and then we can look forward to them being battered every week.
The sad way some of our fans not only accepted Cooper's dismissal with ease, but also championed it really left a foul taste too.Ultimately I want us to stay in this league as I want us to win every game we play.

Agree with this.Exactly. This is what frustrates me about the calls for Nuno to be sacked etc. Eg on Sunday, if we'd been given that first penalty and went 1-0 up it would've been a very different game.
Under Nuno we have been a mid-table team but referees and our PSR incompetence have conspired to lose him/us 13 points. That's half of our current points total. And that's largely without Taiwo.
It will be a travesty if this squad is relegated, they could build into a very good team.
As for the OPs question of what success looks like in the Championship - enjoying games again, seeing a few wins etc. Just for devil's advocate, what does success in the PL look like? Because as the rules stand we're never breaking into the regular Europe-qualifying positions, or having much of a chance of winning anything.
Would you have another season in the championship for another day like that in Wembley?
There is no big six, only a big three.Premier League is crap. Stay and pull it down.
Tell the "Big 6", that's the Big 5 + Spuz, to bugger off and stop talking about it too.

I hope that when we go down they are the ones to jump ship. Most will be glory fannies anyway, like Wolverine.
People like me aren't fussed because it's no fun.I can’t imagine if Cooper was still here we would now have a thread where fans are discussing whether we would rather be in the championship or premier league - it’s madness really.
I swear the ones that are not fussed about getting relegated are largely the same as the ones championing Coopers exit….
Why is that? Because you think we wouldn't be in this position?I can’t imagine if Cooper was still here we would now have a thread where fans are discussing whether we would rather be in the championship or premier league - it’s madness really.
Yeah, Cooper's presence alone lifted people because of what he had already achieved with us, and flushing all that away for absolutely no progress at all was incredibly short-sighted.I can’t imagine if Cooper was still here we would now have a thread where fans are discussing whether we would rather be in the championship or premier league - it’s madness really.

You can only see the lack of progress in Hindsight.flushing all that away for absolutely no progress at all was incredibly short-sighted.
