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 [...]

Right then – first things first, huge apologies for my lack of online time over the last week or so – sad to say I got completely floored by a nasty case of man-flu that conspired to make me not only miss previewing the Palace game, but the trip itself too. Rubbishness! I suppose I [...]

Three defeats on the bounce, ensconced in the bottom three – it’s not good is it? The Reds will be eager to turn the tables on the arch-rivals of our last opponents as we welcome Crystal Palace to the City Ground. Palace of course are on a high having reached the semi-finals of the Carling [...]

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 [...]

Disappointing results for Forest and Leeds at the weekend will give both sides the motivation to want to see an improvement at the City Ground tomorrow night.

An overtly talented squad at their disposal last year did have the considerable drag factor of manager Dave Jones to counterweight it, whilst now a more [...]

Well, if you wanted someone in the ranks with a decent knowledge of Portmouth FC then we have it in Steve Cotterill. He’s been with us a month, and since then Pompey have been looked after in a caretaker capacity by Guy Whittingham and former Forest player Stuart Gray. It’s rumoured Cotterill would like Gray [...]

Three wins on the bounce? Sounds a bit outlandish, doesn’t it? It sounds even more so when you consider our visitors on Saturday are unbeaten in eight games and not far off the pace being set at the top end of the table. Having said that, who was expecting wins against Middlesbrough and Blackpool? I [...]

Three defeats on the bounce, into the relegation zone after eleven games – an eye witness account of a fairly typically poor showing from the boys in Red at Coventry. These are the stats and facts that will be running through the mind of Steve Cotterill as he takes charge of his first game as [...]

Apologies for the late response on pretty seismic Forest news- sometimes I do have real life to attend to, honest! So, in spite of being kept quiet by Forest, the voices everywhere else that seemed to know we were courting Steve Cotterill were right. I’m not excited by it, although naturally the next Steve of [...]
