No new signings: so what’s going on then?

For most Forest fans, your author included, the level of frustration at the lack of incomings is starting to feel rather frustrating. Even allowing for the logic of not signing players for the sake of it (a la Danny Sonner), we desperately need more bodies in the squad, as this well-observed piece of Photoshoppery on [...]

Nottingham Forest 2 – 0 Coventry City

Standard Podcast: Play in Popup

Another game undefeated for Billy’s men. Five changes from the draw at Watford saw us line up, initially as a 4-4-2, but later as a 4-3-3 (Cohen moving to left midfield and Tyson joining Dex and Earnie up front). Campo, Gunter, Morgan, Wilson, Shorey, Cohen, McKenna, Majewski, Tyson, Earnshaw, Blackstock Coventry set out to make [...]

Wes in the team of the week, little Robbie in the team, Lewis and Dele on the bench (but want to be in the team): news roundup

Wes Morgan has astonishingly made it into the Championship Team of the Week. I say astonishingly not because he was bad, but simply because he has been eclipsed in recent weeks by the form of Messrs Gunter and Wilson, who have both upped their game impressively in recent weeks. No mention of Majewski or Gunter, [...]

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 [...]

Nottingham Forest 1 – 0 Newcastle United: match report (but no podcast)

Sorry folks – the late kick off meant that we didn’t get chance to record a podcast after the game yesterday. So you’ll have to make do with a traditional match report. On the way to the ground, Radio Nottingham announced the line up as a 4-5-1: Campo in goal, Gunter and Cohen at full [...]

Home, sweet home: news roundup

The talk from the City Ground is all about our home form. Lewis McGugan talks about his early return from injury – and how we now have the confidence to build an unbeaten home run, to match our away record. Chris Gunter (who makes the Football League Team of the Week, thanks Saturday’s clean sheet [...]

Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Nottingham Forest: match report and podcast

Standard Podcast: Play in Popup

Forest did well to come away with a point after a bit of a niggly, physical, hoofball performance (but it was an entertaining match). Billy sprung a couple of surprises by leaving out Tys and Madge (paternity leave and injury respectively), but including Lynch, Lewis and the Mooooosssse in the squad; the team was: Campo [...]

Billy talks nonsense

Regular readers will know that I am not the manager’s biggest fan; my response is that I don’t need to like him as long as he does a decent job. However, in a day and age where every comment from players and managers is examined under a microscope, I think Billy Davies has come out [...]

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 1 – 0 Coventry City

Standard Podcast: Play in Popup

Billy chooses what, on paper, looks like a 4-4-2 but actually turns into a 4-5-1 for this “must-win” home game. Smith in goal, with a back-four of Gunther, Morgan, Chambers and Perchio. In midfield, Anderson, McGugan, Cohen, Osbourne and Garner and Dexter Blackstock leading the line. We forgot to mention it during the actual podcast, [...]
