Nottingham Forest – 1 Swindon Town – 0 If tuesday night’s game at Elland Road was an advert for the kind of frenetic and exciting game encapsulated by a great atmosphere can occur in League One, this one was something approximating the opposite. The day started for me wandering down the steps next to Lady [...]

Check out this email I picked up from a lady organising quite an interesting event, the best bit – it’s one I’m sure at the forefront of many football fans (particularly after the Premiershit tried to add their nonsensical international tour concept recently!), and it’s free… if that’s not enough to tempt you, former Reds [...]

I’m amazed it’s taken me this long to succumb to the charms of the BBC online League One predictor. That said, it’s getting late and I’m about ready to hit the hay, so I only predicted until the end of March. Admittedly, such things are meaningless – if I were any good at predicting football [...]

Leeds United – 1 Nottingham Forest – 1 I was set to declare February 12th as Julian Bennett day, after he not only scored but cleared one off the line this evening at Elland Road. Alas a harsh penalty gave Leeds an equaliser from the spot, in a hotly contested game in which Forest can [...]

There’s no denying that this was amongst the first fixtures I looked for when they came out, and it’s proven to be a pretty cataclysmic encounter in the making. Our hosts are without a win in five, we couldn’t win away from the City Ground if we were playing against eleven jelly babies, and the [...]

Courtesy of Stress and Pie – this made me chuckle away a good portion of my lunch break, much to the consternation of my colleagues when I tried to explain it! Worked wonders for lightening my mood, then making me feel annoyed again because it’s probably not all that far removed from what really happens! [...]

The Mexican stand-off between Smoulderwood and the fans looks set to rumble on, after the manager decided to criticise the support levels in his post-match comments at the weekend. Whilst I do have some sympathy with his sentiments, I do think he’s unwise to ruffle feathers any more than he need to right now, with [...]

You can tell a lot from a reaction, as football is by it’s very nature a cycle. When you follow a team for a while you get a whiff of how certain reactions can result in certain things playing out. I haven’t written much about the ‘protest’ that was planned for after the Millwall game, [...]

Nottingham Forest – 2 Millwall – 0 Forest continued their excellent form at home in terms of results. The performance wasn’t particularly brilliant, but two goals from corners was enough to get the three points against a particularly poor visiting Millwall side. Indeed, checking my email upon getting back (thanks, mate!), I was amused to [...]

After last week’s disappointment, is that too weak a word? Let’s call it a shambles. After last week’s shambles, the pressure is on Smoulders and the boys to deliver a boost to our bid for promotion, and there’s a decent amount of good news to give Forest fans good cheer in the build-up for this [...]
