Nottingham Forest – 0 Burnley – 2 No goals. No clean sheet. No points. No drive. No passion. No desire. No shape. No tactics. No ideas. No creativity. No threat. No positivity. No hope? To offer some content, second goal aside, I was impressed with Lascelles’ debut. I thought Camp should have claimed the first [...]

I’m pretty sure the first time I saw Wes Morgan play for Forest was in a pre-season friendly at the City Ground whilst he was still a youngster. He put in a thunderous tackle on a similar-unfamiliar Rafael Van Der Vaart which left the Dutch midfielder without his boot on one foot. I think this [...]

Ah, it’s been nice to have a weekend without Forest to spoil things, hasn’t it? Well, if you brush aside the whispers of who’s leaving and when. So far the only confirmed news on that score are Leicester and their bids for Wes Morgan – but, of course – it would certainly be the Forest [...]

Westley worked his way up from a youngster in the organisation, his reputation for a great work ethic showed from an early age. Rarely unable to work through illness or injury, he established himself as a key member of the staff over many years. Always modest, and never one of the shining stars – he [...]

West Ham United – 2 Nottingham Forest – 1 We appear to have two stock scripts at the moment – be bloody awful and roundly beaten, or suffer misfortune (oft of the refereeing persuasion or perhaps a moment of slack defending) and lose because basically we can’t either provide the final ball or finish to [...]

Let’s start with something positive – our youngsters are 7-1 against Wigan in the FA Youth Cup fourth round. Bamford has scored four and there’s still twenty odd minutes to go. Perhaps the future isn’t so bleak after all? And now, let’s drop back down to earth by contemplating the weekend’s fortunes of our senior [...]

First I suppose I should welcome Sean O’Driscoll to Forest – I’m quite pleased with his arrival. He might encourage a few of the team to, y’know, try passing it along the floor to their teammates occasionally. Certainly he’s used to trying to make silk purses out of sow’s ears – and with not a [...]

Leicester City – 4 Nottingham Forest – 0 Leicester deserved to win, probably by more than four goals. In the brief interludes of pressure from the home side Robbie Findley spurned the chance to equalise with an open goal from 2 yards, he somehow it it over. Harewood too should’ve done better with a later [...]

Can anyone muster up any enthusiasm for this one? So, Leicester are on quite rubbish form – we are worse. Arguably a positive development for us is the suspension of Luke Chambers after his red card at the weekend (a bit mean, I know, but he could do with a break if nothing else). The [...]

Nottingham Forest – 0 Southampton – 3 The saddest part of this weekend wasn’t so much another defeat, another goalless performance, another bamboozling post-match interview with Steve Cotterill, another game of mindless hoofball. I can even begin to acclimatise to the lack of effort the team seem to put in (which is depressing), but – [...]
