I’m reliably informed that upon getting kitted up having signed for Forest, somebody had to sheepishly go and pick up some junior sized socks from the club shop for Alan Wright to wear! I know it’s childish to find such stories so amusing, but it’s still tickled me a bit. Maybe this is the true [...]

Nottingham Forest – 1 Gillingham – 0 Cor blimey it was hard work, but hard work that paid off in the end as a Lewis McGugan rocket propelled the Reds to a pretty much deserved three points against perennial bad thorns Gillingham. It rises us back up to third place with Yeovil having lost, and [...]

To say this game is pretty crucial is an understatement. I would go so far as to say that it is CRUCIAL. In big red letters and capitals and everything. The scary thing is, it’s no more crucial that all our remaining games, but nonetheless, we must follow the old adage and think not beyond [...]

Finally the news comes through we’ve made a loan signing, great, thinks me – what exciting mould of attacking midfielder have we picked up? But no, I must confess a slight groan that we’d picked up Sheffield United’s Alan Wright on loan until the end of the season. Not that this is a bad thing, [...]

I’m sure it can’t have escaped the attention of most football fans, that the ludicrous bureaucrats at the Football League are contemplating the proposal of scrapping draws in Football League matches – or rather – making drawn games end with a penalty shootout to ensure there is a final winner. An utterly ludicrous idea to [...]

It came as some surprise to track the Bristol City vs. Bradford game tonight and see Bradford run out 3-2 winners. That’s Bristol’s game in hand gone, and us a mere (a mere?) four points adrift of them. Sure, still a lot of work to do – starting on Saturday, but should we do the [...]

Thinking about the forthcoming fixtures, the proverbial mountain we have to climb – the incredible turnaround in form we require, Smoulds was sitting at his desk. He toyed with formations, cast his eye over a few potential younger players who may warrant a chance. He reached to the very back of the personnel files and [...]

Scunthorpe United – 1 Nottingham Forest – 1 I wasn’t expecting anything but a convincing defeat – so it perhaps is illustrative of my fickleness that I’m left disappointed when the lads battled to a point infront of a record crowd at Glanford Park. As we did so, Yeovil won – overtaking us on goal [...]

There’s a good deal of (justifiable) dischord and ranting going on around the message boards; and as always it comes down to the old chestnut of “things aren’t as good as we are expecting, so who can we blame for it?!” – it’s of course, a pasttime that football fans enjoy in times good as [...]

Forest go into this game at Glanford Park very much the underdog, in my opinion. Scunny are on a run of seven consecutive wins which has unsurprisingly seen them cement themselves to the top of the table, and look pretty much unassailable in their quest for the title – they’re unbeaten in fourteen, having won [...]
