very strong side more than capable of winning today; focus, tempo, ambition and drive needed

redmond a little unlucky to be dropped having had a good game, while numerous players who lacked effort and performance keep their places.

Time for the complacent boys to become men & perform consistently as their talent suggests in 7 consecutive games.

COYY

Sounds like Olson is in trouble with his shoulder already - not sure how we could manage this with the bench we have?

Watford have just had Ekstrand stretchered off. Went down with no-one around him as he tried to turn. His knee went out from under him, looked nasty, potential cruciate, certainly be out for a while. He''s one of their better players, a season ender would be no bad thing for us!

We have to make this pressure count. Forest are dangerous and are clearly capable of scoring against us.

An ipswich watford draw is what is needed. Watford dropping to 72 points by losing doesn''t make a difference in the scheme of things, as we have a better GD now anyway. A draw today, and then watford to draw again with boro in a few weeks! the more top teams that drop points the better!

Nervy goalkeeper affects the rest of his team and the crowd.

It''s surprising sides don''t just take pot shots at Ruddy, he is fragile.

He should be one of our biggest, most dominant characters instead he has been a shrinking violet for far too long now.

With a performing keeper we would be top and clear under AN.

Sorry, but that''s just how I feel.

Would love Ipswich to beat them.

The easier it is for us to get in to those top two positions the better, would love to have it sorted before Fulham. But would love to rub there noses in it at carrow road after all the heartache we have suffered at the hands of Fulham.

Ruddy has had a fair few goalkeeping coach changes over the last 12 months. So no surprise really. Defensively we have bee a bit all over the shop too and he had no help last season.

He is good enough for the premier league

Anyway great performance, thank god for the third and next time hoolahan put it left or right. I remember that ridiculous miss agaiast Preston the year we went up. His head was gone for the rest of the season. I recall an article about penalties and hooper noted that hoops would have the next. If hooper is on the pitch I know I would rather hooper take it.

Now we have a huge easter weekend. Time to be ruthless and relish it
