The forest still controls its destiny

Forest was the leaders of the Champions League qualifiers in early April, sitting in the third and 10 points after winning Manchester United 1-0.

But this season’s surprise package, which was not safe from relegation to the last day of the previous campaign, found themselves in a worrying run that raises their dream come true for a serious risk after 44 years.

Last month, the semi -finals of the FA Cup against Man City may have focused on the league, with the return losses of Aston Villa and Everton in the lead, and it seems that there is a hangover after the nature blows that defeat at Wembley.

Forest was not alone when Brentford beat him on Thursday and, although it was an improvement, they still try to find a form. With three defeats and drawing in the last five league matches, Forest is at risk of canceling his hard work.

However, there is room for optimism, with favorable games against the already stated Leicester and the combat West Ham, before hosing Chelsea in the last day of the season in a match that could become a one-off Champions League decision.

Forest form is worrying, but their only victory during this worrying slide came to Tottenham, which occupy a similar position in the table as the next two Nuno opponents. There are six points on paper that would expect to be picked up.

Looking at Chelsea and Newcastle’s running, with at least one of them guaranteed that they will fall points when they play next Sunday, there is a true likelihood that Forest could throw out two teams above them.

Forest, of course, would also have to return to the winning ways and take care of the job in the next two games before taking over Chelsea.

Eze: We thought we would beat him at the end

Eberechi eze Crystal Palace to Sky Sports:

“I thought it (his late chance of a crossbar) went. We had a lot of chance to win him.

“We thought we would take it in the end, but we’ll take the point. We are positive, today we have achieved a good performance.

“We had some free time (after the semifinals of the FA Cup). The boys showed a good character to return after such a high game of emotions. For us today, it was important to perform.

“The way I take the pen is the way I take them. I always exercise and learn how to improve.

“I probably had to put a little more this time. I saw that it was still standing when I stopped that I had to put enough strength if it came in.

“Every pen is different.” Guardians try to make different techniques to save it, so I always adapt, try to learn and understand how to improve punishment.

“I discovered what works for me, so I’ll continue to do it as long as I exercise.”
