These clubs are pretty much opposites. Yes, Forest are good and Spurs aren’t, I sense you chortle, and you’re right, they are and they are. But there’s more to it than that.

Forest are effective and efficient, scoring relatively few and conceding relatively few; Spurs, on the other hand, are infuriating and inept, relatively prolific and relatively profligate — underachieving as their opponents are over-achieving. As such, Forest could scarcely be a happier club and, though Spurs being Spurs, they’ve plenty of misery still to realise, at the same time, they’re not exactly loving life at the moment.

And, of course, Forest are managed by Nuno Espírito Santo, increasingly loved by supporters with good reason, after giving them a sensational season; meantime Spurs – who sacked him after just four months in the job – are led by Ange Postecoglou, increasingly disliked by supporters after picking fights with them for reasons only he understands. Where Nuno needs points for Champions League qualification, Postecoglou might soon be pointed towards the door.

Yet, football being football, there’s always a yet: Forest have lost their last two games and are out of the top five for the first time in months while, on Thursday night, Spurs recorded their biggest win of the season, a 1-0 triumph in Frankfurt taking them into a Europa League semi against Bodo/Glimt. It might just be that they are running into form, just as it’s possible that Forest have run out of it. We shall see!

Important Events
I know he’s been on the bench recently, but I was a bit surprised that Krucevsky didn’t start mid-week.. He has been one of the Spurs’ best players since signing for them and will be desperate to force his way before the European cicadas. He starts midnight for the first time tonight, and while Madison and Bentanchour are likely likely to be rock, you will still feel that Bergval’s spot may be his, as well as Terr’s location.
Meanwhile, Nuno Three changes will be made: Alex Moreno, Callum Hudson Odoi and Jota Silva, with Harry Toffolo, Danilo and Anthony Elanga replacing them.
Postecoglou said he would make the changes. Following a physical inspection in Frankfurt, he soon becomes the bench for Lucas Bergball, Brennan Johnson, James Madison and Dominic Solanke, bringing along Djed Spence, Pape Sarr, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert and Richarlison.
I’ll write these down, Then we work on what they’re doing.

It continues As we speak:
preamble
These clubs are pretty much against it. Yes, the forest is good, and the spur isn’t. But there’s more to it.
Forests are effective and efficient, relatively small numbers, and acknowledge relatively few. The Spurs, on the other hand, are infuriating, incompetent, relatively thriving and relatively abundant. As a result, Forest rarely became a happy club. Despite the Spurs being a spur, they still understand a lot of misery.
And of course, the forest is managed by Nuno Espirito Santo, and after giving it a sensational season, it is increasingly loved by its supporters for good reason. Meanwhile, the Spurs, who plundered him just four months at work, are led by Ange Postecoglou, and are increasingly hated by their supporters after choosing to fight them for reasons only he understands. If Nuno needs Champions League qualification points, Postcoglo may be pointed at the door immediately.
But soccer is soccer and it’s always there. Forest lost their last two games and was in the top five for the first time on Thursday night, but the Spurs recorded their biggest win of the season. They may just be bumping into shape, just as the forest may have exhausted it. We’ll see!
