Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest Match Report and Podcast

Standard Podcast: Play in Popup

A bonus podcast as Rish managed to see the Wolverhampton Wanderers horror show.

Wolverhampton Wanderers 5-1 Nottingham Forest

The last two times I visited Molineux were during David Platt’s tenure. We lost 3-0, with Tony Vaughan and David Prutton being dismissed (Vaughan was red-carded for being headbutted by Ade Akinbiyi), and Michael Branch scored that cheating goal; the following year, we lost 2-0, with two more red cards. So when I shelled out [...]

Another mystery solved

While delighted to see Lee Martin in the garibaldi, creating and scoring goals, and scaring defenders, in the back of my mind was a nagging doubt about his loan move; Forest had never confirmed how long he would be staying with us for. Well, now we have confirmation that (despite the NEP’s assertions at the [...]

The pride of the East Midlands

Predictably, after a decent performance, both managers were keen to praise the Reds’ contribution to the match. James Perch was upset about losing the match. However, I particularly liked Roy Keane‘s reference to our new, improved playing style: “The way they play football is great. People should come and watch Forest and see the way [...]

Nottingham Forest 1-2 Sunderland (aet)

Forest (4-2-1-3): Smith; Chambers, Morgan, Breckin (c), Bennett; Perch, Moussi (Sinclair 108); Thornhill (Cole 95); Cohen, Earnshaw, McCleary (Tyson 79). Not used: Roberts, Moloney, Heath, Reid.

Not used: Ward, Edwards, Higginbotham, Stokes. Well, as you know, [...]

P*ssed off

At half-time, Forest are drawing 0-0 with Sunderland. Great. According to Radio 5live, it is fairly even so far. Even better. I am not happy however – I went down to my local (I live in the suburbs north of Birmingham), settled down with a pint, and watched the first 14 minutes of the match, [...]

Can you explain?

We all know that the modern footballer is very much the epitome of the modern-day metrosexual. Ever since the late 80s, footballers have been swathed in hair gel and peroxide, and these days they personalise themselves further with coloured boots and a range of tattoos. The saving grace is the fact that all footballers have [...]

Nottingham Forest 3-2 Watford

Forest: P Smith Chambers Morgan Breckin (c) Bennett Moussi Perch Cohen McCleary Earnshaw Martin Subs: Tyson (McCleary 66), Sinclair (Earnshaw 82), Cole (Martin 86). Not used: Roberts, Thornhill.

Nottingham Forest vs Watford: Match Report and Podcast

Nottingham Forest vs Watford: Play in Popup

The second podcast of the season. Forest lined up with Paul Smith, Luke Chambers, Ian Breckin, Wes Morgan and Julian Bennett, James Perchio, Guy Moussi, Chris Cohen with Gareth McCleary, Rob Earnshaw and Lee Martin up-front. Overall an excellent game with lots of fast-paced attacking intentions and the welcome return of Nathan Tyson.

Forest v Watford preview

Following the news that Lewis McGugan has joined the walking wounded, there is a new gap in the team, which will be filled by either Garath McCleary or (more likely) Matt Thornhill. I personally wouldn’t mind seeing McCleary start, as it means that Chris Cohen would be able to drop into his more favoured midfield [...]
