We welcome the Tangerines of Blackpool at the City Ground tomorrow, who will be on a high having been the first side to inflict a defeat on Newcastle United in midweek. Our visitors are three points better off than us so far with a decent start to the season that sees them eleventh in the [...]

And it’s a midfielder, before you get too excited about us shoring up our defensive unit! Marc Albrighton is the lad in question, a 19 year old winger who is highly rated by after an impressive pre-season. Given our ‘right-winger’ of choice at the moment is Joe ‘yellow card’ Garner it could be a useful [...]

Ipswich Town – 1 Nottingham Forest – 1 Our seventh straight away draw in the league (if we go back into last season) officially qualifies Forest as a tough side to beat away, unfortunately we aren’t quite converting that meanness of conceding into ruthlessness of finishing. Unusually Billy opted for the same starting eleven from [...]

I would recommend taking a few moments to read through Mark Arthur’s piece on the official website. With councillors squabbling with one another and making a very bad impression on Nottingham and Nottinghamshire in general – our Chief Exec has offered a fairly eloquent view of Forest’s stance on these matters. Certainly the frustration comes [...]

I can’t decide whether it’s a really good time or a really bad time to be playing Roy Keane’s Ipswich. Let’s go for optimism – because they’ve gotten off to a pretty poor start so far with just two draws from their opening six games (both earned at home), although let’s not get too cocky [...]

I have rather quickly become disinterested with the story of Forest’s proposed ground move after it transpired that the lead exponents of the scheme – Nottingham City Council and Nottingham Forest – hadn’t bothered their arses to talk to the Nottinghamshire County Council. The latter being the owners of the land they have their eye [...]

Sheffield Wednesday – 1 Nottingham Forest – 1 I like going to Sheffield Wednesday. Hillsborough is a proper ground, none of this soulless flatpackery here, four sweeping stands surround the pitch in a way that football grounds should. Of course, accessing the away end is via Leppings Lane – possibly the most ominous of addresses [...]

It seems like so long since we’ve played a game, given the contemplation of the football against Derby was largely overshadowed by the over-reaction to the afters it seems even longer – so tomorrow’s trip up to Sheffield can’t come soon enough! I actually quite like Sheffield Wednesday mainly because of Brian Laws being there, [...]

It had all gone quiet on the new ground front. The ‘chairman’s message’ at the start of the season skirted around the subject whilst offering the tantalising possibility of redeveloping the City Ground. That seems to have become redundant in the latest round of PR from the club though, who have hop-skipped-and-jumped from Clifton to [...]

The FA have charged both Forest and Derby with failing to control their players – which is probably a reasonable charge really considering the distasteful scenes after Forest’s 3-2 win over the Rams at the weekend. However, they have also decided to single out Nathan Tyson as well – the good news is that Forest [...]
