Birmingham City – 1 Nottingham Forest – 2 I’ve been guilty of re-using headlines before, hence the part two – because this isn’t the first time I’ve succumbed to this bad pun. If you read my preview for this, I held out little or no hope for us getting a win – so hats off [...]

The Reds travel to St Andrews in the West Midlands to try to build upon their first win in six games at the weekend. There aren’t many places less likely to yield a win for us (well, in fairness, you could probably select most of the top half of the table and find it rather [...]

Nottingham Forest – 2 Coventry City – 0 Phew. What a relief that is – results elsewhere combined of course with the points deduction handed out to Portsmouth mean that not only have we registered a much-needed home win against a relegation rival, we have also found ourselves three points clear outside the drop zone.

I jokingly referred to this mouth-watering fixture as the ‘Clash of the Titans’ to a friend earlier in the week. “Clash of the Titans? Clash of the Shite ‘uns, more like!” he quickly retorted. Perhaps not quite up to Oscar Wilde levels of wit, but it tickled me regardless. After a win against Leeds midweek [...]

Well, it might. Whilst of course we are near the bottom of the form bragging order, Middlesbrough have stalled in what had [...]

The game will begin with a minute’s applause before kick-off and both sides will don black armbands in memory of Reds owner Nigel Doughty who passed away last weekend. Our first action in twelve days thanks to the interventions of weather and our own rubbishness in the [...]

It’s been a strange few days for Forest fans in the aftermath of the untimely passing of Nigel Doughty. The elements intervening in the weekend’s game gave a welcome break from contemplating our on-the-pitch troubles and time for reflection – time that many Forest fans have put to good use in raising over £3,000 for [...]

It was quite the shock to hear the news that Nigel Doughty had passed away on Radio Nottingham this afternoon. 54 is certainly no age, and my thoughts and condolences go to his family and colleagues. Generally I’ve steered the blog clear of too much comment upon his past running of the club – largely [...]
