Nottingham Forest 3 – Derby County less than 3: match report and podcast (UPDATED)

Good grief. What a game. Firstly, sorry – no tweets during the game as O2 decided to fail big-style. But even if I had a signal, I doubt I would have had time to report much as it was pretty action packed. Sport Billy picked a side packed with forwards (unsurprisingly), lining up as follows: [...]

Nottingham Forest 2-4 Watford: Match report

This was bad. Really bad. A team that has ambitions of success will not want to lose more than two or three home matches in a season, and we have now lost two home matches in four days. Rahoul said on Saturday that we played like a team of strangers, but that was nothing compared [...]

Nottingham Forest 0-1 West Bromwich Albion: further thoughts

Obviously many of you will have listened to our thoughts on the first podcast of the season, but here are some issues that are, for me, still unresolved: Was the own goal definitely Wes? I think it was but most of the media are still reporting it as a Cohen o.g. As I commented in [...]
