1865: Nottingham Forest Football Club in the Coca Cola Championship
 

Reading 0-1 Nottingham Forest: Result!

Great result today – I managed to listen to a few minutes of the post-match reaction on Radio Nottingham, and I was very pleased to hear that the confidence grew, and the style of football was better. We said after the Derby match that this team look far more effective when they keep the ball [...]

The trouble with Billy Davies … Part 1

Before I start, I am not saying that Davies should be sacked or is not fit to manage this club – it is far too early to resort to such mean-spirited words… Those of you who listened to the post-Derby podcast will have noticed that we weren’t happy, and that we were laying the blame [...]

News Roundup: New players … maybe

Every Forest fan’s favourite alces steps up his return from injury. It’s just like a new signing. Or something. Michael Tonge and Ched Evans are linked with us (the latter following a successful loan spell at Norwich). It would be just like signing a new midfielder and a new striker! Meanwhile, Grant Holt hits a [...]

Morgan puts Commons on his arse. We need patience. Davies out! Fans these days are too fickle. Paul Smith is hopeless. Speculation about [...]

A pretty downbeat podcast; following Billy’s interview in midweek we were waiting to see what effect his words had on our young, depleted, squad. And we saw the result today; in a side with two surprise returns, but bereft of confidence and ideas. Smith, Chambers, Morgan, Breckin, Heathy, Anderson, McGugan, Perchio (c), Cohen, Tyson, Earnshaw.

We’re Doomed!

UPDATE: I think I’m over this now – still not sure what that interview was supposed to achieve but I’m sure Billy has a masterplan in mind. Bring on the Sheep! The knives are out. Billy Davies, Mark Arthur, Nigel Doughty; no-one escapes the wrath of the Forest fan in the run up to yet [...]

Chants for the memories

“Psycho! Psycho! Psycho!”, “Nigel Nigel, Nigel Nigel”, “Oh, Teddy Teddy, Teddy Teddy Teddy Teddy Sheringham”, “Ian Ian Ian Woan, Ian Woan Ian Woan”, “There’s only one Stevie Chettle”, “Norman, show us your bum”… I started going to Forest in 1990, and one of the best rituals was the team running out to the Robin Hood [...]

Forest 2-2 QPR; Birmingham 2-0 Forest: Thoughts

I never got a chance to post on the QPR match, and have just read the report of the Birmingham defeat (it is actually my local match, but I couldn’t make it due to a combination of the ticket price and some other stuff). I just wanted to air some thoughts: Paul Smith is far [...]

News Roundup: Bennett and Doughty give to charity, Paul at Pompey, Viv on Spain and Rob back in training

Julian Bennett makes the most of his time out injured, while Nigel Doughty does good with his millions. Fans’ favourite Paul Hart’s tenure at Pompey may be a short one. Viv Anderson’s not happy about England’s friendly in Spain. And lastly, Robbie Earnshaw (is a red) is about to restart training and hopes to be [...]
