Battered Sausage
Matchday Squad
The big red train draws into the WFCG for the final time this season. A late kick-off could mean it'll be party time at five o'clock or nail-biting tension to the final whistle. We have to raise the roof on this one.

If we're already safe by gametime I'll be having beer in my cereal while I watch.

This is the absolute biggest coin toss of the season. By rights, Chelsea should pummel us. Lately they've started to resemble a Pochettino side, and the squad is obviously loaded with talent. The squad has some rather defined schisms though, and I am hoping they play some part in Chelsea coming out in one of their ridiculous moods this weekend. Pochettino has some massive decisions this off season---who he has to offload to create greater harmony, who he can't afford to lose etc. Let's hope the self absorbed assholes in the side rear their ugly heads and make the ugly Chelsea show up. I voted for a win, but methinks we'll be lucky to draw. Anything is possible. We have to use 3 in the back for sure. CHO will be chomping at the bit in this one, and if Elanga and Wood also perform it could be a crazy match. We may see 6, 7, 8 goals. I'll take nil-nil in a heartbeat.

Yes - exactly the team I would pick - assuming Williams isn't available we need to move Aina across as Montiel is a liability.
Tavares if fit - otherwise Toffalo - who doesn't let us down
This game will be close. Forest will get numerous chances, Chelsea although have scored 7 and conceded 0 in that last 2 games, have allowed 32 shots in their last 2 games, West Ham hit the woodwork 3 times on Sunday even if they were poor. Some of Chelsea's goals on Sunday were easy they were allowed so much time on the ball in the build up to there goals.

I reckon we might get something here.
2-2 CHO and Danilo with the goals.

Concerned about the space we have been giving teams on the edge of our penalty area.
This will spell trouble with Cole Palmer and Gallagher.
Hopefully Luton and Burnley have lost prior to this. Safety assured with 2 matches to go this time, now that's progress.

Oh pretty, pretty please football gods - I want the Sky pundits to suffer (except Michael Dawson).

Are Sky bringing Neville or Carragher, or will they wuss out and send (shudders) Don Goodman?

Part of me hopes Carragher and Neville are allowed in - I would love to be in the Lower Trent End to throw all kinds of abuse at them (why am I feeling so vindictive? I’m usually quite placid…); another part of me hopes that they are never allowed in the WFCG again.

They should be banned from the WFCG for life.
I read somewhere that we are taking legal action against SKY because of Neville's comments about gangsters and the Mafia.
If that is the case, I can't believe he would be allowed in

Wondering if jimbrennan is the real Jim Brennan?

Technically that's not possible. Even if Luton lose and Burnley fail to win on Saturday we would need a point to be mathematically safe.

I will work upon the assumption that means yes. Hope all is well with you Jimmy.

Tavares is a strange one, came on against Wolves over 2 weeks ago. Looked awful and not been on bench since!! Be a bonus having Awoniyi on bench again, another week fitter and hopefully can give us 15–20 mins.

Forest battle to a hard-earned 1-1 draw and guarantee survival after Luton lose at the London Stadium.

Anything but the kamikaze 4-2-3-1 we saw last Saturday. 3 at the back and hit them on the counter because this Chelsea side thrive in an open match.

Didn’t we play 3 at the back against them earlier in the season?
