Nottingham Forest – 0 Cardiff City – 1 Just like dogs can resemble their owners, I’m starting to get concerned that a football team can resemble the manager. There was endeavour and effort (perhaps excepting ‘I’m already gone’ McGugan and Matt Derbyshire who were both terribly lethargic), but no quality. No end product – no [...]

My new year resolution might be to be a little bit less of a grumpy sod. Which gives me a couple of days to get such things out of my system. It’s fair to say that our last trip to the City Ground wasn’t particularly fruitful, and that coupled with the higher calibre opponents we [...]

Brighton and Hove Albion – 1 Nottingham Forest – 0 Gutted isn’t the word – Forest rose to the challenge from Tuesday night’s fiasco with a spirited and dominating performance over a very good Brighton side. Only to find themselves being hit by a sucker-punch at the death. Don’t think that the Forest site is [...]

I seem to be having untold technical issues today, so hopefully this will work (writing on my phone!). Despite the memory of the dreadful performance against Leeds on Tuesday evening looming large in my mind I’m actually quite looking forward to a trip to the south coast this weekend. Admittedly it’s because it’s been a [...]
