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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 – [...]

Nottingham Forest – 0 Leicester City – 0 The result I wanted even less than a win, a nil-nil bore draw in the bore draw leading to a replay. Something we could do without from every position except perhaps fiscal – after all, I imagine a healthy sized home crowd for the return fixture will [...]

Ipswich Town – 1 Nottingham Forest – 3 Ooh, that feels better doesn’t it? After seven games of drawing blanks it took a mere 5 minutes for Tuds to latch onto a throughball from Reidy and score. Before half time it was 2-0 courtesy of another lovely finish, this time courtesy of Garath McCleary. An [...]

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 [...]

Nottingham Forest – 0 Peterborough United – 1 Steve Cotterill’s search for a goal was to end with nothing again in an increasingly predictable borefest at the City Ground. Despite ‘tweaking a hamstring’ in the warm-up Anderson started, only to be replaced after seven minutes by Garath McCleary, George Boyd ran more in the first [...]

Nottingham Forest – 0 Crystal Palace – 1 I really don’t have the motivation to go through this in depth – another game where we had the better of the play, but our final ball and/or shot let us down. Admittedly there was an improvement on the Brighton game in that the visiting ‘keeper had [...]

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 [...]
