Re: Today's Football 2023-24
Forest are a better team than Luton but it doesn't always matter at this point. Bad luck, bad calls, poor finishing, individual errors, etc.
Forest are in real trouble. Haven't done well vs the bottom 7 or so teams this season and away results have been poor for 2 years now. 1 home match left vs an in-form Chelsea who still have an outside chance of Europe.
Would still rather be them than Luton at this stage but could go down to the last match.

Yeah pens never count as a win or loss, the result is always taken from the end of normal or extra time depending on if the competition goes to pens after 90 or 120 mins.

Leicester coming up as champions but they've made hard work of it, luckily for them Leeds and Ipswich made even harder work of it and let them off the hook.
I think if Ipswich come up they'll find it hard, back to back promotions to the PL is a huge leap, just look how Plymouth have struggled just in the Championship and they went up with over 100 points. I don't see them being much better than the teams that came up this year, Burnley had over 100 points, 20 more than Luton and even they've done better than them. Leicester might well have a points deduction and they're finances are tight at best, Norwich and WBA have rarely made a decent go at staying in the league and I can't see Hull doing much of they squeeze in, Leeds might and Southampton might be able to make a go of it if they come up. There's a massive gap now between fairly established PL teams and those coming up and takes a big investment just to stay in the league.

I could see Leicester and Leeds staying up if they came back up, but I'd struggle to see any of the others making a good first of it.
I do think Ipswich have a talented bunch of attackers but you feel like they'd lose most games 5-2 in this league and then the confidence dies as the season goes on.
Russell Martin at Southampton will do exactly what Kompany did this season and play the same stupid way and get battered every week.
Would be a monumental task for any of Norwich, West Brom or Hull.
