News Roundup: Billy Davies

Billy Davies is the preferred candidate. Play-offs but no Earnie then?

News roundup: Lynch to stay, Camp situation not so certain, Reds chase Ince (no, not that one), shortlist drawn up?

Joel Lynch’s loan agreement has been extended until the end of the season (cue loud cheers from the City Ground crowd), but in slight contrast to Campo’s post-match interview, it seems as though negotiations may resume once the new manager is in place (depending upon how you read the story). In the meantime, the Birmingham [...]

Pembo pulls a rabbit out of the hat: Norwich City 2-3 Nottingham Forest

I shouldn’t comment too much on the match, because not only was I not there, but I wasn’t even able to listen to it. However, I did manage to turn on the radio after 5pm, when the victory was confirmed, and would like to comment on the following: John Pemberton picked an unusual line-up, notably [...]

Calderwood is sacked: who next for the poisoned chalice?

Wanted: football manager to take on famous old club languishing in the depths of the Coca-Cola Championship. Current squad features plenty of young players with bags of potential. Possibility of money to spend in January. Thick skin essential. Must advocate playing stylish, flowing football / defensive hoof ‘n’ hope dross (delete as applicable). Please note: [...]

News roundup extra: Campo wants to stay, Wes feels the pain, Porter to sign?

Lee Camp has (for the first time I think) said that he wants to stay, but adds the usual note of caution that it is out of his hands. Forest supporters will probably be slightly less enthusiastic about the prospect of Joel Lynch remaining at the City Ground. Most of you will already know that [...]

News Roundup: Huckerby bows out, Donny’s preparations, Cole’s hangs up his boots, Martinez for Martin?

Huckerby takes a bow at the Christmas game at Norwich. There’s much I could rant about Huckerby and Hart but I won’t. Suffice to say, too good for the Championship, not good enough for the Premiership – but that front three was amazing that season. Despite their manager calling it just another game, Donny’s players [...]

A great result, but let’s not get carried away

Amidst the euphoria of Forest actually winning a match against relegation rivals, I am going to be boring and sound a note of caution: Southampton aren’t that good! This match report gives a Saints’-eye view of proceedings; along with other reports I have read, it seems as though this was Southampton’s weakest performance in a [...]

Southampton 0-2 Nottingham Forest (updated)

Having commented in our last podcast that Forest have a rather chequered history in “six-point” matches, we have only gone and won it (with a clean sheet as well). Praise be! Update (Sat, 6.35pm): Quote of the day comes from the manager, talking about Joe Garner’s 35-yard lob: “I knew as soon as the ball [...]

Bye Bye Breckin

Thanks Yiannaki for pointing out that Breckin (and Bencherif) have been transfer-listed. This either denotes that we have a big, ugly, loud (and expensive) central defender lined up in January. Or the club has truly taken leave of its senses and wants to kick us in the teeth for Christmas.
