Through the seasons before us..

Well that’s a bit of a mouthful, today’s entry is brought to you in association with the letter F.. but anyway, rather excitingly for the first time this season, Forest can say they are without injury or suspension issues, giving Calderwood the first opportunity he has had to choose exactly the team he’d like to play – which ultimately should make his job easier, although it brings with it obvious difficulties, and presumably will make more players unhappy.

As Perch returns from suspension, and Gary Holt from injury – presumably one of them will be disappointed come saturday, Grant Holt seems to be subject of endless rumours of unhappiness – I even read on a forum that a loan move for him is imminent! Bennett has been speaking to the press of his frustration at being ‘formationed’ out of the team – it’s going to be a real challenge for Calderwood to keep team spirit high for those players struggling to make a first team impact.

Although the smouldering one has done well so far on this score, so I have faith he’ll continue to do so – but now all his strikers are fit it’s definitely going to be tricky, particularly since the front line hasn’t exactly been delivering the goals (aside from newly converted Commons, who I still think of as a midfielder!) – Tyson must surely be close to a first team start, I imagine Dobie is some way off as we won’t want to see the poor lad pick up another injury!

Hopefully news like this from Forest will have the Millers’ arses twitching a bit…
