Third round draw sends us to Eastlands..
Posted on 30 November, 2008 by nffc
Well, it will be a new ground for anyone in a watching-Forest capacity, the last time we played Manchester City they were still based at Maine Road. Naturally it tends to bring about one of two reactions from the fans. From those of a more optimistic nature (or younger fans who’ve only ever seen us [...]

Off the bottom, and Smoulds is still the gaffer..
Posted on 29 November, 2008 by nffc
Nottingham Forest – 1 Barnsley – 0 So the key question of the day was where we were in 1984. Well, the 29th of November, 1984 was a Thursday, so I was probably at school. The people asking the question, with extra digits, were probably not even a twinkle in their cousin’s eye. Oh yes, [...]

Swindon calling…
Posted on 29 November, 2008 by nffc
Came to mind after spotting this headline over on Vital Forest. Don’t worry, I’m getting ready to go to the match now so won’t inflict further of my random braindumps on to you – well, until later when the unenviable task of a match report shall await me. Swindon calling, it’s a faraway town Now [...]

Never dull? It bloody well is!
Posted on 29 November, 2008 by nffc
What a pickle, what can we expect for today given the events of the week? Aside from it being bloody cold, of course – so wrap up warm! 1. We beat Barnsley and despite all the rumours, it gives Smoulds a stay of execution. 2. We beat Barnsley, but Smoulds goes regardless and takes the [...]

Better the devil you know?
Posted on 27 November, 2008 by nffc
It’s not surprising rumours are rife that Smoulds has walked/been sacked/is talking through his severance package with Forest. Things have been pretty grim of late, with the odd glimmer of good performances heavily outweighed by an appalling run of results. Whilst on a personal level – as I quite like Smoulds as a person – [...]

A point at Donny; it’s not really enough, is it?
Posted on 26 November, 2008 by nffc
Doncaster Rovers – 1 0 Nottingham Forest – 0 The second game in a week billed as a six-pointer, and rather than end up with a theoretical negative points (by letting our opposition end up with more points than us), we ended up with none. Both teams shared a point that is barely of use [...]

An outgoing, an incoming? And some musings..
Posted on 24 November, 2008 by nffc
Fletcher’s gone back to Palace as his loan was due to expire soon, and he’s still injured – probably a sound move. He seems to have had quite his unfair share of critics despite not really having much of a chance to make an impact through injury; and as a result of that won’t be [...]

Ten man Canaries send Reds to the basement..
Posted on 23 November, 2008 by nffc
Nottingham Forest – 1 Norwich City – 2 A combination of timing and that crippling sense of lethargy when needing to chronicle the demise of the Reds contributed to no match report yesterday, and a fairly sizably crippling hangover might well make this one pretty short. In the absence of my ramblings the comments on [...]
