Millwall – 2 Nottingham Forest – 2 If you lurked on any number of Forest message boards during the second half of this match, and I did, then the hysteria in text was a sight to behold. Keyboards all over Nottingham have probably been worn out in endless tirades aimed mainly at Smoulderwood, borne out [...]

Iain Dowie’s brash talk seems to have taken a backward step of late on the Leon Best saga. His recommendations of denying his transfer request were a pretty transparent mechanism to inflate our bid for him, or lure other clubs into some kind of bidding war for the services of the young striker. Only Ipswich [...]

Dale Roberts has been sent out on loan to Rushden and Diamonds, given he was our substitute keeper and Paddy Gamble is also out on loan, the remaining goalkeeper I know of on our books is Shane Redmond – who doesn’t appear to have a squad number. There was talk from Smoulds pre-January about cover [...]

I feel sorry for Scott Dobie. In his time at Forest he basically became the punchline of any joke about ineffective or perpetually injured strikers – admittedly, not without just cause – and I quite frequently made jokes along those lines too. It’s fair to say his time at Forest was never really covered in [...]

This means they get to play their fourth round tie on saturday, rendering our league game with them at the City Ground a bit of a non-starter!

From the limited amount of research I’ve been able to undertake on the player, he’s described as a ‘livewire’ as well as suffering with injury last [...]

I managed to miss the post-match interviews on saturday, being in a bit of a sulk myself after another disappointing showing on our travels – so it wasn’t until this evening before BBC Nottingham‘s matchtalk programme that I heard Nathan Tyson’s post-match interview. Tys lays into the referee for a series of baffling decisions, albeit [...]

An entry from the archives has surfaced from our source of inside information – for those of you who have been to, or are curious about, the infamous Forest open days – then read on for a unique perspective from the one, the only, Terry the Kitman! Disclaimer time: this is, of course, entirely a [...]

The mongerer of rumours who were saying Best was keen on a move to Forest seem to have been speaking at least some of the truth. Best apparently put in a transfer request at Coventry City – as a result he was left out of their squad of 16 at the weekend. Although Iain Dowie [...]

Swindon Town – 2 Nottingham Forest – 1 It’s not very often your players can score all three goals in a game, but you still lose – but that’s precisely what happened, and precisely what dropped Forest back into third place in the league. Of course, that implies Swindon were in some way lucky, which [...]
