Not really the draw I was hoping for – for one, I was hoping for a trip away from the City Ground, and well – no disrespect to Birmingham City – but to a higher profile opponent. As it is, this is a game that neither team probably hoped for – we will prove an [...]

Nottingham Forest – 4 Doncaster Rovers – 1 It was an afternoon sullied by only a couple of things really, the fact that we couldn’t prevent the visiting side from scoring a consolation goal, and the dreadful ‘integration zone.’ This saw foam-hand toting fans of both Forest and Doncaster ensconced in the lower Brian Clough [...]

Unfortunately for me I was sttuck working down south and unable to make it back to the glorious midlands in time for an evening with Billy Davies at The Approach last night. Fortunately for you, Alex from LTLF was able to make the evening and has posted a summary here. Anyone who works with or knows a [...]

This was the definition of a game of two halves from Forest, a pretty poor quality first half in which an early goal gifted to Middlesbrough caused our hosts to play a pretty calculated game throughout.

Over 3,000 Reds will be making the trip up north to the Riverside Stadium to cheer on Forest tomorrow. That in itself is probably testament to the cautious optimism that is starting to ferment gently around the City Ground. Few are getting too carried away, but the fact we go up to Boro above them [...]

If reports are to be believed then Forest are mobilising to buy out the Polish international’s contract with Polonia Warszawa. The midfielder has shown some fantastic glimpses of his capabilities and has really hit the ground running in English football, so this will be news of considerable delight to Forest fans, certainly this one!
