Psycho, Perchio, Shoreyo and Billio: news roundup

Some bloke called Stuart Pearce who says that he used to play for us is now saying that we are going to win the league as we have “spent a few bob in the summer”. As we are planning on spending, not selling, Forest have rejected a “derisory” offer from Newcastle for James Perch, with [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Nottingham Forest 0 – 1 Blackpool: match report and podcast

Standard Podcast: Play in Popup

Hard to beat. That’s us. Apart from on today’s showing. Earnie got his wish and made the starting line-up – with recalls for Tyson and the Moose. So Billy selected: Campo, Gunter, Morgan, Chambers, Lynch, McKenna (c), Moussi, Cohen, McGoldrick, Tyson, Earnshaw To be honest, it didn’t really work. Although we did make chance after [...]

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 2-4 Watford: That went badly

One of my friends was due to meet me at the match last night but was unable to make it at the last minute. I sent him the following text at full-time: You did well to miss that one. 2-4 flattered Forest. More reaction later…

Nottingham Forest 0 – 1 West Bromwich Albion: match report and podcast

Standard Podcast: Play in Popup

Heyup. We’re back. Did you miss us? First home game of the new season sees Sport Billy choose a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of 22000 expectant Forest and Baggies fans. We had the chances but Di Matteo’s instilled an Italian ethic in his West Brom side that ultimately won them the three points. Our line [...]

A new season approaches

Firstly, the inevitable apologies for the lack of service in the past couple of weeks; thankfully the rush of signings tailed off in this time (although the Matt Mills deal appears to be dead, there are new rumours linking us with the unfortunately-named Danny Shittu), and neither of us made it to any pre-season matches, [...]

A busy week for Nottingham football

The biggest story of the week is the rather unlikely tale of Sven Goran Eriksson becoming Director of Football at Notts County (with the papers quick to play on the myth of “five women to every man in Nottingham” and the close proximity of Hooters to Legoland Meadow Lane). However, while Notts fans will justifiably [...]
