Nottingham Forest 0-2 Brentford - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts on Thursday's Premier League game between Nottingham Forest and Brentford.Here are some of your comments:Nottingham Forest fans:Fosi: Yet another abysmal performance. No fight, no passion and no idea. Is our season over?Freddy: Huge disappointment at the result. I'd hoped that bowing out of the FA Cup would galvanise the players, but the opposite seems to have happened. They looked tired and devoid of ideas. I just hope an easier run of games will get us over the line - Chelsea last game of the season seems huge now. Ken: It's over I'm afraid. Those players are exhausted and have no more to give. It was like watching us two seasons ago. The very thing that has been our rock - defence - is falling apart at exactly the wrong time. Our failure to sign one or two strikers has well and truly scuppered us.John: We're on a bad run at at a bad time. I don't care one way or the other about Europe, except that we've got some players I wouldn't want to lose to clubs who get there. We're good enough to put this right but we're running out of games.Brentford fans:Mel: Dare we dream about Europe? Yet another top performance against a top six team. Incredible team spirit and winning mentality continues to deliver exceptional performances. Our run in looks favourable when compared to others, and a result against Manchester United keeps a European dream alive. Tim: The Bees showing their teeth and battling for the points was a pleasant surprise. Michael Kayode blunted Forest's game plan by matching them for pace. Great to see Kevin Schade poke that ball home, the guy needs a bit of confidence to bring out his best.David: Brentford controlled the game and executed their chances with confidence and precision. The travelling fans must have been planning their European tour on the way home. Another masterclass from Thomas Frank.Josh: We are making a last minute surge for Europe. We couldn't do it could we? Don't stop believing!

Influential Ingle wins fitness race to get Wales Euros call
The 33-year-old – who has won 141 caps and led Wales 83 times from 2015 to 2024 before stepping down from the role – suffered the injury playing for Chelsea in a pre-season friendly and has been in a race against time to make next month's Euros in Switzerland. Ingle left Chelsea at the end of the season after seven years, during which she has made 214 appearances for the Blues, but continued her rehabilitation at the London club. Ingle's importance to Wales is huge and boss Rhian Wilkinson has said that the midfielder being at the Women's Super League champions was an advantage for the Dragons. Wilkinson said: 'When you have a player at a top club, it means their four-cornered staffing is of a level, and that includes the medical. 'For some of my players that might be at smaller clubs with less resources, the FAW might have to step in more to support. 'In this case we very much follow their lead and are comfortable with the training plan that they've so expertly put together. Absolutely it's been an advantage for us.' Last month Wilkinson rated the former Wales captain as '50-50' to play at the Euros, saying she 'wanted her back but not at the risk of Sophie Ingle's knee'. Wilkinson's 23-strong squad for Wales' first major tournament includes few surprises. Defender Rhiannon Roberts is included after injury ruled her out of Nations League action last month, and veteran forward Jess Fishlock is the star name in a squad skippered by her Seattle Reign team-mate Angharad James. The former Everton and Tottenham midfielder is one of four centurions in the squad, alongside Fishlock, Ingle and Hayley Ladd. Aston Villa goalkeeper Soffia Kelly, Manchester City defender Mayzee Davies, Bristol City forward Tianna Teisar and Manchester United striker Mared Griffiths miss out after being in the squad for last month's Nations League games against Denmark and Italy. The 18-year-old Davies suffered a rupture to her ACL against Denmark and faces a considerable spell on the sidelines. Wales kick-off their tournament against the Netherlands in Lucerne on July 5. Their remaining two games are in St Gallen with France on July 9 and against reigning European champions England on July 13. Wales squad: O Clark (Leicester), S Middleton-Patel (Man Utd), P Soper (unattached), C Estcourt (DC Power), G Evans (Liverpool), J Green (C Palace), H Ladd (Everton), E Morgan (Sheff Utd), E Powell (Bristol City), R Roberts (unattached), L Woodham (Seattle Reign), A Griffiths (unattached), J Fishlock (Seattle Reign), C Holland (Liverpool), S Ingle (unattached), A James (Seattle Reign), L Joel (Newcastle), R Rowe (Southampton), K Barton (unattached), H Cain (Leicester), E Hughes (C Palace), C Jones (IFK Norrkoping), F Morgan (Bristol City).

'Tough run of fixtures' but could put Liverpool in 'promising position'
BBC Radio Merseyside spoke to Matt Addison about the Reds' Premier League fixtures after they were announced on Wednesday. "I think Bournemouth is a good game to start with," Addison said, "I think it's always an advantage to start at home first and I think it's probably a good thing that Liverpool aren't playing one of the promoted teams."There's still going to be a lot of atmosphere for Liverpool and a lot of expectation with that but to be at home and to be against a team like Bournemouth, I suspect it might be an advantage to play them early in the season rather than a few weeks in."I think you can probably look at any run of fixtures in the Premier League and think there's one or two tricky ones in there or one or two that look tricky to Liverpool. But to have Bournemouth, Newcastle and Arsenal before that first international break is as tough as it would have got."A trip to Newcastle is never easy and Liverpool have always managed to make it a bit of a mad game one way or another in the past couple of seasons up at St James Park."So it's a tough run of fixtures but the flipside of that is that if they can get one or two wins in the early spell, that will put them in a really promising position."Listen to the full chat on BBC Sounds
