That’s me offline ’til Boxing day, I suspect. Of course, I might just sneak on – but have a great festive period one and all. As ever, thank you for your comments and input that breaks up my mundane ramblings on the site, and who knows, perhaps my not-even-slightly tongue-in-cheek Christmas ditty might actually bear [...]

Southampton – 0 Nottingham Forest – 2 I was going to call this a good-if-unspectacular away performance, but then Joe Garner decided to offer something of the spectacular as well! Three very welcome points against fellow basement scrabblers give Forest that nicest of preparations for Christmas, an away trip from which they can wend their [...]

I’m a bit sad that it’s been announced Ian Breckin can leave in January. It probably lends some credence to the rumours that he’s fallen out with Smoulders, because when he’s featured in our defence this season he’s performed well and we’ve looked more solid. Indeed, we’ve been crying out for an experienced head at [...]

But yet again I spotted a couple of incidents in the penalty area of our opposition which I wondered perhaps why we weren’t awarded a spot kick. And it’s not exactly been the first time this season.

Nottingham Forest – 0 Blackpool – 0 This afternoon was one of those frustrating afternoons. Not because Forest were rubbish, well, not entirely, but because no matter what we did it seemed like we’d never ever score. Even though Blackpool didn’t bother turning up, and we got to play some men in B&Q uniforms instead, [...]

If you can call them highlights! Virgin Media have done a great job, in fairness, in distilling the couple of minutes of significant play by either team in this video. It’s not pretty viewing. Apologies to the non-UK based folks, I realise Virgin Media only have the right to broadcast goals domestically, which is mighty [...]

It’s fair to say that Forest have never excelled at corners – certainly not in my time of supporting them since the late 80′s. So even the late and great Brian Clough seemed to fall foul of our default state of rubbishness. Aside from Breckin’s halcyon season of nodding in a number of goals from [...]
