An evening with Billy Davies (updated)

I was unable to attend this but there is an excellent summary at the Lost that Loving Feeling forums. I particularly like his explanation of the “11-men in the box when defending a corner” (don’t expect it to change any time soon), what he thinks about promotion (we’re building a pot of cash for survival [...]

Gearing up for Donny: news roundup (updated)

New number 3 Nicky Shorey talks about his Aston Villa “hell” (I am sure that there is no artistic licence in that headline), and reflects upon the possibility of making a permanent move to the Reds. In the meantime, Billy lays down the gauntlet to Joel Lynch to play as a left-sided centre-half. Tomorrow’s match [...]

Shorey-ing up the defence (sorry)

Bad puns aside, the signing of Nicky Shorey on loan until the end of December surely has to be a good thing. Not only does this give us specialised cover at left-back, it also means that we have another player on the books who, like Messrs Earnshaw and Gunter, has decent top-flight experience and even [...]

Dex on fire, Campo, Tys & more from the Mirror: news roundup

Reports suggest that one of our crocked strikers, Dexter Blackstock, could make a return in tomorrow’s match at Middlesbrough, but also that Nathan Tyson will remain on the sidelines for a few weeks yet. Chris Gunter missed Wales’ match last week but should be fit to resume tomorrow. For all you stats fans, Forest are [...]

Raddy the baddie and Billy for Scotchland? News roundup

Raddy Majewski will hopefully become a permanent fixture at Forest, although there are implications that he could be holding out for a bit more money (who said that Polish workers are content with low wages?) In the meantime, Craig Broon has suggested that Wee Billy Davies could be the next manager of the Scotchland national [...]

Full-backs and half season tickets: news roundup

The biggest stories this week seem to have surrounded full-backs, both at the club and linked with moves to the Reds. James Perchio, who is hoping to win a spot at right-back, has made it through a friendly against Barnsley without too many ill-effects; Chris Gunter, the current incumbent of the right-back slot has picked [...]

Bristol City: dull – news roundup

After Saturday’s dull match against Bristol City (which, I reckon is down to Bristol playing for a draw) the spotlight falls on David Pleat. Apparently, Billy has his eyes on five new players in January (including long-term target Gareth Bale) and wants the transfer acquisition committee to get out of his way.

Nottingham Forest 1 – 1 Bristol City: match report and podcast

We lined up unchanged from last week’s heroics at Cardiff with Billy again playing McGoldrick as a lone striker in front of a packed midfield.     Campo     Gunter Morgan   Wilson Cohen   McKenna (c)   Moussi   Garner   Majewski   Anderson     McGoldrick     The game itself started [...]

Forest on the BBC: news roundup

Following a fairly successful appearance on BBC2 yesterday (doesn’t Gabby Logan look a bit like a lion?), the nation’s favourite broadcaster has offered us some tasty reaction to the Cardiff v Forest match. Firstly, an audio interview with Lewis and Chrissy Cohen, and a few words from Billy lamenting the inability to take chances and [...]
