It’s all gone quiet in the valleys…

Nottingham Forest – 3 Swansea City – 1 The first half is probably best forgotten – Forest were ragged and disorganised and it wasn’t really all that surprising when Swansea took the lead 3 minutes from time when Fallon headed home from a corner.  The side were booed off by sections of the ‘support’ which [...]

Forest vs. Swansea City preview

Swansea visit the City Ground tomorrow on a reasonable run of form – they’ve amassed ten points from the last six games, whereas Forest have accrued nine, so not much to pick between them except that perhaps of those six games, Swansea have done better recently – whereas Forest have failed to win in four outings. [...]

Spitting hard for Reds to swallow?

The aftermath of our match with Port Vale seems to have taken a negative twist, with bad feeling surrounding the furore that kicked off after Husbands’ sending off for his challenge on James Perch. On the one side you have Vale protesting it wasn’t a red card offence, which should be easily determined by video [...]

Unlucky Reds made to settle for a draw… again!

Port Vale – 1 Nottingham Forest – 1 It was a nightmare to get to Vale Park thanks to some rather inconveniently placed traffic congestion en route, not to mention the rather misleading directions courtesy of the AA website, but upon eventually making it to the ground, it didn’t take long for the game to [...]

Port Vale vs. Forest preview

Forest of course are still unbeaten away from home this season, following the weekend’s draw at Prenton Park with Tranmere Rovers.  However, with two points from the last nine available, we’re hardly sitting pretty on the top of the league at the moment, failing to score in the last three games. Port Vale were keeping [...]

Forgotten hero: in memory of Peter Taylor

It’s probably fair to say that in life he was often in the shadow of Brian Clough, and the same can certainly be said of him in death – but I think it’s high time the contribution Peter Taylor made to the great history of Nottingham Forest is more readily recognised, certainly by the club [...]

No goals in three games, but still top!

It’s slightly concerning that we’ve not hit the onion bag in three games, yielding only two points from a possible nine, but I’m not too worried just yet. The Oldham game was woeful, and we deservedly lost, but against Carlisle we missed a penalty, could’ve had two more, and both Grant Holt and Neil Harris [...]

Rovers withstand stoppage time Alamo..

Tranmere Rovers – 0 Nottingham Forest – 0 When three minutes of stoppage time are announced it’s usually the away team who groan, but Forest seemed spurred on and forced several excellent defensive moves from Tranmere in the dying moments in the top of the table clash. Grant Holt, a second half substitute, forced a [...]

Forest to travel to pikey-ville…

In a strange bid to make my previous post seem right, we’ve been drawn to play Gillingham away, what a thrilling encounter that will be! Given our synchronised relegation we’ve seen quite a lot of the Kent team over the last few seasons, and to be fair, after we rather childishly took delight in Eugen [...]

Johnstone’s Paint trophy nonsense…

I’m quite irked by this competition on all sorts of levels, I know that the late great Brian Clough used to have a philosophy of trying to win any competition you get a chance to, but personally I think this one is worth passing by in favour of ensuring our key players are fit for [...]
