Newcastle United – 2 Nottingham Forest – 0 Ultimately a frustrating game – but a promising performance compared to recent away trips left me feeling not too bad. Of course, an entertaining day and evening out on ‘the Toon’ always lessens the blow of coming away from a game with no points. Definitely one of [...]

When you’re struggling to get a result away from home, which we have been lately, then probably the last place you want to go is St James’ Park to play Newcastle. The Magpies haven’t lost at home in the league yet this season, and are looking all but promoted after an impressive season under Chris [...]

Nottingham Forest – 2 Crystal Palace – 0 That’s a new record equalled. Twelve consecutive league wins at home matches our best ever run back in 1980 (last time stretched over two seasons – previously it was ten in a single season).

The trouble with our away form being so abysmal is that it puts a great deal of pressure on maintaining our excellent home form. Win, lose, win, lose etc. With Peterborough comfortably nestled at the bottom of the league, and with strugglers Palace to follow (with Paul Hart in charge), these are games we would [...]

Barnsley – 2 Nottingham Forest – 1 I have a proper sulk on me still, I was wanting to calm down a bit before writing this but still find myself a bit downhearted. Whilst bigger deficits have been overturned in nine games, I am starting to think the gap to second is looking a bit [...]

Hot on the heels of disappointment in Lancashire, Billy’s ailing-when-travelling boys take a trip to Yorkshire to face Barnsley to try to make amends again. Indeed, to make recent form seem worse, we’ve got a pretty bad record in general at Oakwell. We’ve lost on more than half the occasions we’ve played there, although last [...]
