Nottingham Forest – 2 Brentford -1 Forest progress to the regional quarter finals tonight in the dress rehearsal of the league fixture we have to look forward to on saturday. In front of an eerily empty City Ground, Forest started the game positively, starting with Pedersen in net, youngster Vincent Fernandez as the rightmost centreback [...]

Judge: David Platt, you have been charged with the serious crime of impersonating a competent football manager – of flagrantly wasting millions of pounds on poor quality signings, and giving them over-inflated contracts which served to plunge the club into barely controllable debt, and ultimately the irreparably embarrassing and costly slide into League One.

Wes Morgan this time is afforded the honour of being included in the League One team of the week – which is a good reward for the young defender, who’s had a new lease of life in the role since Danny Cullip returned to first team action, in my opinion. He’s been solid and dependable [...]

This game will be played infront of the fewest number of fans seen at the City Ground for some time, but those of us canny enough to realise it will save us from an evening of being terrorised by trick or treaters can at least hope for an interesting diversion this Hallowe’en. With only the Main Stand [...]

The news of us drawing Yeading at home has sent a shockwave amongst Forest fans, well okay, a tedium tremor? Okay, an increasing sense of boring inevitability? A few folks might remember Yeading played Newcastle in the FA Cup the season before last, and managed to not concede a goal for 51 minutes – in [...]

Cheltenham Town – 0 Nottingham Forest – 2 Nicky Southall was again the match winner with his third and fourth goals in three league games – within three minutes of one another. In a game where Cheltenham, on an appalling run of form in the league, will feel somewhat aggrieved to have come away with [...]

Perpetually overlooked Kevin James has been offloaded to Grimsby Town on a three month loan deal today – which is probably good news for all concerned. The pacey winger has never really shown any inclination or ability to force his way into first team reckoning, so really this could be a beneficial move all round [...]
