1865: Nottingham Forest Football Club in the Coca Cola Championship
 

Lethargy

Newly promoted Norwich and the return of Grant “Grolt” Holt to the City Ground. Surely we can kick start our season here? We lined up with Campo Chambers Morgan Wilson Bertrand Anderson McKenna Majewski Cohen Earnshaw Blackstock A pretty standard line-up. What was more worrying was that the entirety of the rest of our squad [...]

Scrappy Leeds

Nottingham Forest 1 – 1 Leeds United The first home game of a new season – normally a time for optimism but following a pre-season that’s seen two exits and two arrivals (if you count Radi’s signing), and it’s doom and gloom if you listen to some. We lined up in a traditional 4-4-2: Campo [...]

End of the season

And so it ends in disappointment again. With lots of goals conceded again. I keep saying to myself “we would have taken tenth place at the start of the season” but it’s still so hard to take. For those that care, we lined up in a 4-4-2: Campo Gunter Morgan Wilson Perchio Tyson Majewski McKenna [...]

Blackpool 2 – 1 Nottingham Forest: down but not defeated

It promised so much after a first half that saw an astonishing goal by Chrissy Cohen, Forest hit the woodwork, and efforts cleared off the line; I don’t quite know how we didn’t go in a couple of goals up at the break. However a rather flat performance from the Reds in the second period [...]

Will Kelv be a Celt? News roundup

Just scouring some of the tittle-tattle in tomorrow’s chip paper today’s newspapers, the most surprising is the story that ex-Forest flop Neil Lennon is interested in signing Kelvin Wilson for Celtic for the princely sum of £2.5million. That would be a handsome transfer fee, but on the other hand, not-so-casual Kelv has been a revelation [...]

Nottingham Forest 3 – 0 Plymouth Argyle: match report

A short match report today as there’s just me on the podcast and, to be honest, there wasn’t really that much to talk about. Billy put out a very strong side – definitely looking to consolidate third place: Campo Perchio Morgan Wilson Gunter Tyson Majewski Moussi Cohen Earnshaw Blackstock And this plan worked out – [...]

Nottingham Forest 0 – 0 Cardiff City: the Newcastle United promotion party

There was a lot to be worried about, a fair amount to be pleased about – but, on reflection, this was two points dropped. The “home formation” was restored, seeing: Campo, Chambers, Morgan, Wilson, Gunter Cohen, Moussi, Majewski, Tyson Earnshaw, Blackstock The first half was pretty lethargic – there were plenty of chances for both [...]

Forest enter the final furlong…

Well, we have all seemingly accepted that it is to be the play-offs this season. If we manage to finish third, then we may well end up playing either Leicester or Blackpool – the latter could be a tricky proposition as they are one of the in-form teams at the moment. But let’s not count [...]

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Peterborough United: match report

6 consecutive away defeats have put a bit of pressure on us. Plus we’ve got that home record to defend – and luckily we made it 11 consecutive home wins. But we were far from convincing. In the continuing absence of skipper Paul McKenna, we lined up as a 4-4-2: Campo Gunter Morgan Wilson Perchio [...]

Nottingham Forest 1 – 0 Swansea City: match report

A six-pointer against the team in fourth place. Lose and their game in hand puts them in pole position. Win and we gain some breathing space. However, Billy was forced into some changes today; Campo Gunter Morgan Chambers Cohen Anderson McKenna Moussi Boyd Majewski Blackstock Wilson and Earnshaw had both injured themselves in training yesterday, [...]
