News Roundup: around the country

Viv Anderson reckons Mr Clough is better than Alex Ferguson. But we all knew that anyway. Dexter Blackstock is surprised that QPR let him leave (in fact he sounds quite annoyed about it). Brian Laws is now looking at Dele Adebola and Grant Holt is League Two Player of the Year. Dirty Leeds are looking [...]

News Roundup: Earnie almost quit, Billy calls for calm, Sir Brian was “virtuous”, Shilts has been forgotten

While Billy Davies calls for calm heads, much of the attention this week has been focused on Sir Brian, what with the release of “The Damned United” and ITV’s “Clough” documentary. He may not have chosen to go for a drink with him, but John McGovern unsurprisingly has fond memories of working with the great [...]

Forest sign player on deadline day shock!

Dexter Blackstock has joined us on loan (with no recall) until the end of the season. Well, we have been a striker short all season (no I don’t count Andy Andrew Cole as a striker as he was obviously not interested), so this has to be a good thing. Blackstock’s goals-to-games ration this season is [...]

News Roundup: Blackstock and Harewood, Bencherif, Gunter and Turner

With the loan deadline fast approaching, will we be signing Dexter Blackstock? And speaking of strikers, our Marlon claims it was Villa, not him, who said no to coming here. Hamza Bencherif plays for his contract (with Davies making it through another game unscathed) while Gunter eyes his return to Spuz. And Turner is hoping [...]

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers: Too little, too late?

The pain of defeat, the pride of the effort. Most commentators (in the media and the blogosphere) seem universal in praising Forest for their endeavour and Wolves for their ability to get results. I am not sure how much I agree with them. Let me get this straight – I am very proud that Forest [...]

Nottingham Forest 0 – 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers: match report and podcast

We played with a lot of endeavour but not much in the way of cutting edge against a high-flying and physical Wolves team. The team was Turner in goal, Lynch and Gunter at full-back with Wilson and Morgan in the middle. Perchio played the holding role with McGugan and Cohen in midfield, Anderson and McSheffrey [...]

Nottingham Forest v Wolverhampton Wanderers: Match Preview

It seems as though a lot has happened since Forest had a good week with victories against Reading and Preston and a creditable draw against diving Swansea. Needless to say, we need as many points as we can get, but with the back line and keeper looking more and more jittery every week, and the [...]

News Roundup: Turner signs, so Smudge is doomed? And tales of Forest’s incompetence

A brief news roundup, as a lot of the other occurences are getting plenty of airtime elsewhere… Iain Turner has signed on loan for Forest until the end of the season, apparently to provide competition for places. A noble sentiment, but given Smudge’s unpopularity with a section of the Reds’ support, maybe he has seen [...]

STOP PRESS: The players don’t care

It looks as though Through the Seasons Before Us has got something of an exclusive, as a reader reports that several Forest players were out on the lash in a less than subtle way: Adam Says: 18 March, 2009 at 12:31 pm You guys are p*ssed off?? Imagine being out in Nottingham last night at [...]

Scapegoats, misfits and disgrace (or The Trouble with Billy Davies, part 2)

NFFCBlog has, in his usual eloquent way, spoken of the malaise and negativity that goes with being a Forest supporter; just after things started looking up, they are now looking right back down, through the trapdoor into League One. Although we have now dropped back into the relegation zone, I remain confident that we are [...]
