Comments on: Bloody Walsall! The curse remains.. http://nffcblog.com/2007/12/04/bloody-walsall-the-curse-remains/ The mindless ramblings of a Forest fan half imbued with a probably misguided sense of optimism..

Now CC has a fully fit squad (except Jules) it means that 2 of the senior pro's dont even make the bench. I wondered who would miss out last night, Dobie is fairly obvious but surely Lennon would expect to at least make the bench? He's in the reserves team tonight against Wolves so is obviously fit. I understand it is very difficult to keep them all involved and Lenny had his problems the other week but I wonder if this could signal an early departure is on the cards? Any thoughts NFFC?

Spineless away performances like this (not a shot on target !) will not get us there, we need to grind out results away from home even if its not pretty. Our manager stands on the touchline with his arms open asking a player why he's taken a shot (that flies well wide of the mark) from distance when he had space to run into. He should not need to be asking that question. Fact - we will not win automatic promotion unless we take at least a point at places like Walsall.

You know what I fear, a repeat of last year... I'm not saying it will happen but it's the same time of year we messed up last time. We have strength, yes, we have depth, yes but I got a feeling we're predictable again. We don't have that unkown quantity to change a match. On that point, what's with this 18 year old kid being signed up?? Don't get it, we sign a kid for us & yet ours which have been here for yonks are sent out to get 1st team experience. Why cant CC do a McGugan and thrust them into the 1st team here? That's what he was saying at the start of the season. Don't get me wrong, if the kids good enough 2 be a red then so be it and all the best to him but why be two faced.... Well, the run ends on a trip away - not much of an away trip but still.

I don't think we've got much joy at Brighton in the recent past either. I think we will have to wait until Northampton at home to register our next win. Its not automatic promotion form to lose these sorts of games, I just hope we can get a bit stronger as the season continues to start picking up results at these difficult away grounds and hopefully that will be enough to scrape into the top two, because none of us will fancy the playoffs!

We have to have more passion and go for Goal. We will not get automatic promotion if we don't put the pressure on the opposition goalkeeper. Not one shot on goal all night !! What's the odds that we will get nothing @ Brighton on Friday. Come you Reds - Don't let it slip out of your Grasp. Yet another night of frustration. We have to have more passion and go for Goal.
