If Mattyboy believes even for a minuite what he wrote then I'm dissapointed, very dissapointed. I hope he's being ironic because that's all I can say for now. A managemnet change - don't forget Charlie & Frank missed the PO by drawing their last games. That was after taking over from the forgettable Mugson & already knew the club. Saying that, only an internal management change would work. We must beat Doncaster & Carlisle away to even beging to dream about 2nd spot. Oh well...

Because I like to see a Forest side winning....15 games unbeaten,and after a young Forest side had beaten a more experienced walsall side 3 0 away,John Pemberton says Of course we shall be loooking for improvements in our next game !!!!!!!! How refreshing to hear what our first team "coach " should be saying ......................... Why am I watching the video of Forest res. v walsall reserves?

Playing that song for some reason always helps me to get over Forest losing. I'm glad to see that you can always look on the bright side, the City Ground could do with more of it (including me)! Shame about Olympiacos tonight, still chin up! Vassils, I’m glad someone else loves that cartoon as much as me! Playing that song for some reason always helps me to get over Forest losing.

One of the reasons being who else is good enough (or would want the job anyway?) My personal opinion is that ND will stick with him regardless, then offer the job to Nigel Clough. That would be a masterstroke, because if we go up we all re-new our season tickets. But if we don't go up most of us wont. Unless of course we sign a bright young manager like Nige who its fair to say will encourage lots of 'will we/wont we' supporters to re-new. As a life-time fan who has spent a fortune on our once great club, not just on tickets/merchandise/foreign trips, but also the time involved (I'm not from Nottingham and the journeys home are usually very long and very depressing!), I'm not sure if I can stomach another season of Division 3 football next year. Unless CC goes and someone like Nige can re-kindle the buzz for me. Of course, Calderwood could solve this problem immediately if he wanted to. All he's got to do is play 4-4-2 utilising the talents of Commo and Davies out wide and letting Holt and Junior play up front. Until Tys and Hoskins recover, anyway. Pace, Mr Calderwood. As a former defender you should know that old adage 'you can't defend against pace'. Rant over. Oh, except to say I was slightly disappointed to see Grant having a laugh with their centre-halves in the box on Monday with 10 mins to go. I have a great seat in the Lower Trent, and let me tell you that is one player who doesn't give a shit about Nottingham Forest Football Club.

Nice to see the City Ground full though. We're a well educated lot us Forest fans because we learned from watching the best. We know how football should be played. Cloughie taught his players and teams to keep it simple. Individual players knew their jobs and stuck to it - otherwise they would be subbed / dropped (and occasionally man-handled!) If only Calderwood would follow the 'keep it simple' policy we could still get promotion but I just cant see it happening. It's true that we did pass it well at times the other night but with this system the players are all over the place. Commons was on the right as much as the left. How could anyone ever play Grant Holt as anything other than a centre forward? Calderwood should've gone after the Yeovil defeat. I've previously thought that if you're going to give him another season then he should be allowed to see it through to the end but I just can't see us going on the run we need to get second place as things stand now. But is there anyone who could come in now and steer us to promotion? A management change worked when Charlie and Frank took us on that great run a couple of years ago so I think it would be worth a try.
