Comments on: The day the Forest died… http://nffcblog.com/2007/05/18/the-day-the-forest-died/ The mindless ramblings of a Forest fan half imbued with a probably misguided sense of optimism..

Not really to gloat, but to back up the more sensible comments. Calderwood is the reason we were all praying for Yeovil, he said too many stupid things and that got us wound up. His tactics, and you lot know better than me, were too negative. You have a few very high quality players, but you did not use them. However, your big issues are not too different to ours pre Gary J. You have too many big time Charlies, I mean 5 grand a week for Scott Dobie... You will need to clear out the ones taking the money and going through the motions, and get some team fight back. Forest are a team that many at BCFC identify with, and years ago dreamed we too could follow your lead. You have a great stadium, great fans, and stunning history. But it all counts for nothing until the players want it. I think you need a new manager, you will all want Pearce, but that is sentimental stuff. Someone with more experience because you need to shift out a load of players and get a team. Good luck, I mean what a Div 3 with you lot and Leeds... Mad, but you will be up next season, no doubts.

I don't think I'd have been too unkind - but well, if we're just scraping our arses into the Championship in 5 years time then maybe I will be! :lol: It is perhaps a small mercy that we didn't end up going to Wembley for a right royal spanking courtesy of Blackpool.

It has been a b*oody painful eight years!! Understand why we gloat and accept that Forest fans would have done the same if your team had made it to 1st or 2nd place. We took 40,000 to Cardiff and our team didn't show up. That was a bad day.

I was cheering Yeovil on Friday because of your pig headed arsehole of a manager, not because I dislike Forest. From that point of view CC got all that was coming to him, if you're going to do the whole paper talk thing you have to back it up on the pitch, and unfortunatley he wasn't able to do that. Good luck for next year, I think you'll do it if you ditch the gaffer and bring in someone with some class who can restore the discipline. I think the difference is no one in a red shirt looked like they wanted it bad enough, and Yeovil did, and I think CC has to take a lot of the blame for that.

Pissed off and fuming are others. What a bunch of letdowns we support. I now hope to have seen the last of many of these jokers. That is a suitably scathing report. Fair play to you and well said.

Hurts like hell and you have my sympathies. Until Calderwood wakes up to reality and realises that playing like a big team in a small pond doesn't work, you'll be consigned to the fate that we had for 9 years. We spent loads and had players that could (and did) play in the leagues above. That doesn't work in Div 2 - you need hard working grafters who play like a team more than big time charlies who only put in the effort occasionally. Best of luck next year - Calderwood deserves this fate - your fans don't. Unlucky lads. Hurts like hell and you have my sympathies.
