Portsmouth – 2 Nottingham Forest 1 A frustrating afternoon for the Reds saw their mini-run of two wins halted, and our hosts to continue their recent good form with their fourth consecutive win. It pops us back down to 13th in the table, albeit still only three points off the playoffs – it’s still as [...]

The Reds could get three wins on the bounce tomorrow for the first time in, ooh, ages… I’m sure somebody with a better attention to detail that me! That said, we face a loooong trip to a team who’ve snagged five wins out of their last six games. Whether Billy opts to change the side [...]

Nottingham Forest – 2 Ipswich Town – 0 A thoroughly satisfying performance from the Reds gave them a comfortable 2-0 win over the Tractor Boys yesterday. Usually even a two goal lead can feel pretty tense with the Reds, but the makeshift Forest defence underwent very little in the way of scares and held strong for [...]

I quite like the Tractor Boys, I’m not sure why. Unlike many Reds fans I have quite a bit of time for Roy Keane too, despite the manner of his departure (which, when you think about it, was understandable – and we made a tidy profit on him!). Obviously that goes out the window on [...]

Nottingham Forest – 1 Middlesbrough – 0 Well it certainly wasn’t pretty, but it was a most welcome three points nonetheless after the weekend disappointment at Barnsley. With Billy still signed off with a virus Ned once again took to the technical area to deploy the wee fellas’ instructions as we faced newly managerless Middlesbrough [...]

Barnsley – 3 Nottingham Forest – 1 With Billy off sick but supposedly in charge of team selection it was maybe surprising to see something verging on the experimental in the Reds’ line-up – a 4-4-2 formation is perhaps not that revolutionary in aspect, but to make up the midfield of four central midfielders probably [...]

It seems sooo long since we’ve played – and the reward for our patience is a trip to Oakwell on Saturday to face the challenge of the Tykes. The Reds are unbeaten in nine, but there’s been an awful lot of draws in there, our hosts have a decent home record – although their last [...]

I’ve had itchy keyboard fingers (so to speak) for ages now – with no football that interests me thanks to the international break I’ve been resisting the urge to write about nothing for the sake of occupying my mind. So typical, that just when the end is within sight and we resume action at the [...]

The Approach is back with an evening of entertainment in November – two of the most highly rated speakers are on show in Mark Crossley and John Robertson (presumably entertaining himself whilst out of work!), and for a bonus the fleeting Reds player John Sheridan is also on the bill to make it a trio [...]
