Arguably the biggest game of the season for both sides?
You can certainly make the case for it all things considered.
Nottingham Forest face a big game tonight against 5th placed Fulham, fully aware that a repeat of their victory at Craven Cottage earlier in the season will act as a huge marker for them in the context of the final few weeks of the campaign.
Speaking ahead of the clash at The City Ground, Fulham boss Scott Parker spoke about the size of the challenge that his side will face, labelling tonight’s game as ‘huge’:
“Our main focus is to win games and we’ve got tough ones coming up. I think whether you’re playing top, mid table or bottom, every game will be huge. These are ones we need to prepare for and try and get on a good run. Back-to-back wins are huge.”
I think that as a result of the West Bromwich Albion victory on Sunday, and the way that it now leaves the Championship table, this game is probably going to mean more for the playoff race than it is the battle for automatic promotion.
Is this the biggest game of our season since the restart?
Yes
No
At least it will at this stage, who knows what crazy results are going to be thrown up between now and the end of the season.
This game is going to go a big way in not only deciding the seeding for the semi-finals of the playoffs, it could also set the tone as we could very well face the Whites again in a few weeks’ time (in fact as things stand, that’s exactly how it’s shaping up).
What about you? Do you think that this game is the biggest of our season?
