Comments on: Forest sparkle, but it’s too late to catch Bristol.. http://nffcblog.com/2007/04/21/forest-sparkle-but-its-too-late-to-catch-bristol/ The mindless ramblings of a Forest fan half imbued with a probably misguided sense of optimism..

Perhaps CC has been reading ALL the fan's web sites and at last re-acted to what we like to see. Yes i thought the style of play was a lot better and of course it produced the desired effect. We tried a few times to resort to the usual 1 up front with a big gap between attack and defence/midfield but with the crowd really getting behind the unusual attacking display we all went home smiling contemplating the playoffs. It is a shame that we seem to have left it to the last few games to get it right, scoring goals is what wins games not defending. Just think what we could have achieved. Comments about contract talks with Jack and Kris could have some truth about it, not Jack as he always tries but Kris is another matter. However lets make the best of it as the rumour is that Wolves are looking at him (mcCarthy was in the directors box) PASS AND MOVE now thats a phrase i havn’t heard describing Forest’s play for a couple of seasons.

Lets just hope that our usual big match stage-fright doesnt re-surface... Played really well on saturday, lots of pass and move, plenty of energy, good skill too. Yeah, shame about citys result but at least we can move forward with a bit of confidence now. Thats 3 good halves of football on the trot! And for what its worth nffc, he DID deserve to see red. No question. He made absolutely no attempt to play the ball. Redtrees, a forest fan i've known for years had his baby christened yesterday and the church was forest fans only....i wonder if we all prayed for the same thing as the vicar??!! wow, you all seem very confident that we’ll get to wembley!

Sick as a Tree - Don't drive to Wembley, find somewhere to park and catch the tube. Stanmore very popular from the North but depending where you live, Amersham is also a good option.

The stratergy now is to keep the winning ways into the play offs. Anybody know a good place to park near Wembley?

Talk about bad luck here... I will try my Panionios connections here to send messages to Mark Robins... :) Although the Millers don't really need them, they gave Yeovil a good game yesterday... And like Smoulders said, the most horrifying thought is Brizzle slipping and us not having done our duty... Well done you Reds, a rare chance to sit back and enjoy the internet play-by-play without biting my nails!

We will face blackpool in the final whether we finish 3rd or 4th - it doesn't matter now. Well played you Reds!! Yes, cracking game, I thought.

The 2 periods where seem to have lost our chance of auto promotion have been our slump around CHRISTMAS and our inability to capitalize on a slip by Bristol at EASTER. hmmm.....let's hope that God is not a Brizzle fan.

I am starting to feel myself sounding like Smoulders.But seriously we would have to a 500 to 1 long shot But wilder odds have come good in sport. I would have to say that our odds of going thru via the play-offs are alot shorter. i think Millwall can beat Brizzle and anything can happen on the last day…..Talk about dreaming .
