A team that cannot beat Leicester at home does not deserve to qualify for the Champions League. It’s really that simple.
Shower praise Nottingham ForestThe season everything you like. This Leicester side is one of the poorest of modern times in the Premier League And will spend it in the championship next season. Forest, no one else than can blame themselves for the fall of two points on their own patch.
That makes it a single point from three games against this Everton” Brentford And Leicester. It is this run that will probably cost the forest a place in Europe’s Premier Club competition next period, something that they certainly seemed to achieve for so long. No wonder the players sang full -time on the floor and suspected that their race was run.
Although he falls behind Conor coadyThe purpose of the already related foxes, hits the peace of the tranquility Morgan Gibbs-White And Chris Wood Put Bos on the right track again. However, they always looked jumpy, and it was not a big shock when replacement Facundo Buonanotte was the same in the last 10 minutes for the men of Ruud van Nistelrooy.
On his 300th Premier League start for Leicester, Jamie Vardy Could not manage his 200th goal for the club, but the old Wonderdmaalman will be delighted to have put a key in the making for the East Midlands rivals in Leicester.
Forest must now beat West ham And Chelsea In their last two games, but their current form offers few reasons for optimism.

The majority of the season so deadly, Wood has trouble recovering maximum sharpness because he returned to action after a hip injury that was sustained while playing for New Zealand in March.
The version in the early season would certainly have taken one of the two chances that he fell in the first five minutes.
Neco Williams crossed the left, Wilfred Ndidi missed his clearance and wood could not respond quickly enough to send the bouncing ball under the bar. Moments later, Wood was perfectly stationed on the distant pole to meet the cross of Anthony Elanga just to guide the header of the target.
Just like Brentford and Everton, Leicester had worked behind it that the way to frustrate forest at home is to give them the ball. The visitors have been a long time since the football championship, but an East Midlands Derby was enough to concentrate their minds and they took a shock in the 16th minute.
The long throw of Luke Thomas caused confusion under a forestry defense that suffered from the absence of wounded Midillo. When the ball was cleaned up alone for Bilal El Khannouss on the edge of the box, Matz Sels saved his ride, but the ball was perfect for coady to lead him home, while Forest waited for an offside flag that never arrived.
Gibbs-White was without a goal or an assist in his previous eight games and after a slow start here the home crowd started to grumble a bit. How relieved they were, when Elanga was polluted by Thomas on the right, took the free kick itself and Gibbs-White drove to the nearby pole to nod it past Jakub Stolarczyk.
The celebration of Gibbs-White indicated that he was aware of the frustration between supporters on his display. That tension would have been lifted again if Stolarczyk was not saved in the last minute of half of Nicolas Dominguez, where wood cannot adjust on time to put its header on goal.
Just before the interval, the assistant of the referee Sian Massey-elis was booed by Forest fans, who believed that Thomas had strayed over the touchline before he delivered a long throw.

Forest tried to start the second half on the front foot and Dominguez was desperately close to making a decisive contact with the cross of Ola Aina. The Argentinian then went directly to Stolarczyk from eight meters after Elanga’s Kruis struck Wout Faes and ideally fell for him.
The stadium exploded with relief for 11 minutes in half when Wood stepped in front of his team again. After Morato El Khannouss had dumped on the deck with a solid challenge, the wonderful cross of Gibbs-White was too good for coady and James Justin and Wood did the rest with a flying header.
Despite their lead, Forest looked nervous at the back. Morato’s failed challenge almost let Vardy inside and when Aina allowed a Dropball to cross his head, Kasey Mcate almost for Sels.
The fear of Forest felt Foxes boss Ruud van Nistelrooy on winger Jeremy Monga, who does not turn 16 until July, before his fifth senior performance.
His colleague substitute Buonanotte had looked very lively after his showing up and claimed a nice equalizer of nine minutes than time. Vardy turned the resignation of Victor Kristansen into his path, the Argentinian easily stepped on the Morato and cut it beyond Sels. Deep in the stop time, Monga pulled a nice stop of Sels while Leicester held comfortably.
