…jinglebells, jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to miss Forest winning away (to be recited in the style of Nigel Havers)
As I sat in traffic, taking an hour to travel two miles due to heavy snowfall in north Birmingham, my mind was not really on the football. For various reasons I could not follow the match, and when I was able to turn on 5live at 9.55pm, I was overjoyed to hear the final score.
Is it a turning point? Time will tell. Will it get Colin off the hook with many of our more vociferous fans? Almost certainly not. Can Forest win at Derby? Maybe.
I said last week that, a few weeks ago, we would have feared being the first team in ages that Derby would beat. I suspect that our woolly friends now have a nagging feeling that we will turn them over…
