It’s a pretty important game, this – indeed, I don’t think we have a game left this season that can’t be considered important. To get automatic promotion, we have to basically win pretty much all our remaining games, in so doing there’s the chance we can make up the 9 point gap between us and [...]

As well as seemingly on course to guide Derby to the worst ever points total in the Premiership (that said, I’d rather be where they are than where we are in the league), despite the fact that their goal-per-game ratio is apparently on course for being the worst ever at any level in football, despite [...]

… and not, as you may have first thought, to work on the beach alongside the other donkeys – he’s actually gone to play football there ’til the end of the season on loan. Okay, so the inevitable Blackpool donkey jokes are out the way, it’s been a difficult time for Holt under Smoulderwood. He [...]

Northampton Town – 1 Nottingham Forest – 2 No matter how much I like to kid myself that I’d rather not be watching or listening to Forest when they’re playing, the experience of being away from Nottingham, out of radio signal, without Sky Sports and without a mobile signal was a nice reminder that – [...]

It will be interesting to see which bunch of supporters holds the most vitriol for Smoulderwood on his return to Sixfields on Friday. Despite our – from the outside – lofty league placing, a dreadful recent run of form, and a never-particularly-convincing style of play has found the end of most Forest fans’ patience – [...]

The reserves won again today, whooping Bradford City 4-0 with four first-half goals. Shouldn’t really be a surprise, they haven’t lost all season – having played 16 games they’ve registered a rather healthy 15 wins, and a solitary draw. Whilst reserve team football is inevitably less competitive than league games, it’s an incredible run of [...]

Southend United – 1 Nottingham Forest – 1 Yet again on a night when we had to win, we fell short with only a draw on an away trip. A dire first half, from our point of view, was owned by a Southend side who dominated the midfield, scored and worried the woodwork, a second [...]

The poignant insights of our dear equipment manager on the current mood at the City Ground, and the mental health of Smoulderwood – times seem bleak at the Forest if Terry is to be believed! Disclaimer time: this is, of course, entirely a work of fiction – largely for my own amusement. Any resemblance between [...]

With an appalling run of results over recent games, punctuated by the occasional decent one like at Orient, supporter confidence appears to be at a palpably new low despite Smoulderwood’s comments post-Crewe suggestion he wasn’t unhappy (but boy, doesn’t the bronzen one look worse for wear?), I’m starting to whiff the all-too-familiar whiff of a [...]
