Forest have a real chance to consolidate a fantastic start later today - a win against Brighton will give us 4 wins from our first 4 games. And you can’t really ask for much better than that!
The decent start we’ve made will hopefully swell the City Ground crowd later - since Brighton rarely bring big numbers hopefully we can get behind the lads and do our bit to spur them on to another victory. However despite their lack of following, Brighton will prove more of a test than our previous opponents I think - having just come down from the league above.
But well, if we have pretentions of promotion then we should fear nobody, and I certainly know that there is better to come from us despite the unblemished start to the season - so bring it on, and come on you reds!

It would appear the saga of signing Junior Agogo isn’t over just yet - he seems to be accusing Bristol Rovers of being in breach of his contract after they put the brakes on his move to us last week.
The PFA are backing his claim, and presumably they have legal advisors to look into this - the basis of it being that Forest did actually meet a release clause in his contract, so Rovers - if this is true - should have been compelled to accept the deal.
There’s all kinds of speculation as to why they didn’t - largely centred around the fact that it’s popularly rumoured that our offer was a player-plus-cash type thing, when a player is involved there’s obviously room for interpretation of the actual value of the offer.
But anyway, given Agogo’s actions it would seem he’d like to join us - let’s hope he does and soon, because if Rovers have been buggering us about then they’ve prevented us signing him before a tricky fixture against Brighton later today.

It’s set up and looking vaguely presentable - a space for my Forest related ramblings over the course of 2006/2007 - and maybe beyond, or maybe it will die on it’s arse after a couple of weeks, who knows?
Arguably this should be a big season for us, we can’t really afford to not succeed in our aims of promotion, and as I type we have a 100% record after three games, having missed a penalty in each of our first three games!
