Whilst Scunthorpe continued their excellent form with a 1-3 victory at Gresty Road against Crewe, it was kind of predictable, despite the excitement of Crewe taking the lead (I couldn’t help but vaguely keep track of the results after all!). They’re looking decided difficult to catch now – a full ten points ahead of us. [...]

… and we’re not even playing! But our promotion rivals are, and whilst they’re all playing an ‘extra’ game, it gives Scunny a chance of amassing a ten point lead over us if they can get a win tonight; which on current form certainly doesn’t seem to be above them. They face a trip to [...]

Then check out some of the captions on these pictures, and these ones too, on their official website! Whilst I can understand the compulsion, the lack of professionalism is quite amusing – I’ve saved my favourite two for posterity – the first, features Barry Roche doing his best gibbon impression: And my absolute favourite is [...]

Chesterfield – 1 Nottingham Forest – 2 It was serious brown-trousers time at Saltergate as Forest once again found themselves desperately defending towards the end of the game, but unlike in previous matches, they successfully defended a slender lead to register three points, and rise – probably temporarily – back into the automatic promotion places.

I’m getting fed up of saying we could really use three points in our next game – but the fact remains we could. Of course, the phrase “must win” is bandied about, and whilst it’s not strictly true since automatic will still be attainable mathematically with a defeat, on a morale front we really should [...]

Like many Forest fans, I had a quiet smile at the Derby result last night. You might have noticed a distinct lack of contact between me and my Derby-supporting friend who I’d been interviewing earlier in the season – this is entirely deliberate and I thank them for not hassling me when things are going [...]

It seems there certainly was some substance to complaints fans posted on message boards after the Blackpool game, as Ian Breckin has come out and apologised for his actions via the official Forest website. Which reports our captain retains the 100% backing of Smoulderwood. Clearly an apology was necessary if he swore and gestured at [...]

Whenever transfer rumours start, it doesn’t take long for Gillingham’s Matt Jarvis to be mentioned – a highly rated wide player capable of playing left or right, it’s unsurprising why he’s quite alluring for Forest fans who’ve suffered widthless dreary football for the majority of the season! According to the Nottingham Evening Post, we’ve made [...]

There are accusations flying on the Vital Forest forum that both Ian Breckin and Smoulderwood were involved with at least verbal altercations with supporters during or just after the game against Blackpool last night. Hearing some of the fans around me, I can understand the compulsion – with plenty of ill-informed vitriol flying pitchward from [...]

I’ve shamelessly pinched this from a Forest forum – it resonated with me somewhat, and had a spark more optimism about it than I was able to muster earlier… I was going to avoid the message boards tonight through fear of rampant pessimism and over-reaction, but couldn’t resist a sneaky peak and found something slightly [...]
