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 [...]

You’ll never beat Rio Morgan

Wes Morgan is having a charity match to raise funds for Glenfield Hospital, who saved his son Rio’s life last year.

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 [...]

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 – [...]

Billy Davies to Celtic?

It would appear that Celtic are after our manager. Who is committed to getting us into the Premier League this season. This is unsurprising – he’s Scottish and successful. He may be Rangers but success is starting to become the only currency that counts in Scottish football – and Celtic would give him a good [...]

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 [...]

Newcastle, West Brom, Cardiff and Leicester: weekend preview

The game against Palace may have been poor but three points is three points. Next up sees the leader’s Newcastle and we need to be in top form – especially given our recent away collapses – we can’t rely on young Wesley to launch another 25 yarder. Should be an interesting one for Perchio as [...]

Nottingham Forest 2 – 0 Crystal Palace: match report but no podcast

A relatively, but not entirely, comfortable victory against Paul Hart’s new charges. The weather was horrible and the pitch very slippy, but that still didn’t explain why the Palace players seemed so keen to control the ball with their hands, rather than feet. Harty got a very warm welcome back to the City Ground (unlike [...]
