Last week, Nottingham Forest received a sobering reminder of reality.
The Trees, who had gone undefeated for eight games in a row, were crushed by Bournemouth last Saturday by a pitiful final score of 5-0.
In addition to being Nottingham’s worst defeat of the season, it also demonstrated how much work this side still needs to do to stay competitive in the Premier League.
The team must be tired of losing to another team, even when they are in the top four.
The Trees are now in third place in the league standings going into Saturday, nine points behind Liverpool in first place but four points behind dropping out of the top six.
Brighton is acting in a way that supporters have been used to in recent years.
Not reliable enough to be there, but good enough to be a European spot.
Although four of those games ended in draws, the Seagulls had a six-game winning streak going into last weekend.
However, they lost to lowly Everton 1-0 at home, which was disheartening. It cost Brighton a chance to get closer to a top-six finish.
