There’s a lot of newspaper and forum inches being dedicated to the interesting disappearance of Neil Lennon. His agent has come out to say he has ‘personal issues’ – thought to link to the distance between him and his missus and child, Smoulds says he has a back problem, and the rumour mongerers – predictably [...]

Nottingham Forest – 0 Oldham Athletic – 0 If I’d popped down to watch Arnold Town against some other similarly levelled opponents tonight, I would have left disappointed with what I was served up with. What on Earth happened to the Oldham side that annihilated us twice last season, I’m not sure – they were [...]

Huddersfield Town – 1 Nottingham Forest – 1 It was dullsville at the Galpharm Stadium until the game erupted in the second half, with Huddersfield taking the lead courtesy of Danny Cadamarteri after 67 minutes, after which he was promptly red carded after picking up a second booking for over-celebrating – which is either silly [...]
