Forest 2 Sheffield Wednesday 1
By: Tim |If your own manager describes a win as ‘unbelievable’, you know you’ve just picked up a vital three points. Forest started without Cohen and Big Wes on Tuesday, the former due to injury, the latter was still out for personal reasons. It gets worse too, as we can now add Earnshaw, Tyson and Breckin to [...]
Derby day (or night)
By: Tim |A match once described by Joe Kinnear as ‘just another game’, the 81st East Midlands derby had added spice due to the plethora of players and managers swapping different ends of the A52 over the past season or two. Although he has been at Burton for the past decade I’m sure Nigel Clough’s loyalties were [...]
Financial times
By: Tim |For a while now I’ve been meaning to write something about the clubs finances. I wanted to find out what we can expect to happen, if anything at all, during a recession, but I am also interested in the growing concern that our chairman, Nigel Doughty, is loading the club with debt.
The main stumbling [...]
Forest sail past Pilgrims
By: Tim |Yesterday I said we needed to replicate our away form at home, and that Davies’s home debut against Plymouth was the ideal game to do that. Well, who’d have thunked it eh? Forest rarely sailed close to the wind and coasted to a 2-0 win – our first home win since the Barnsley game at [...]
Transfer tittle tattle
By: Tim |Ah the January transfer window, or, as Billy Davies aptly described it, silly season. Yep, it’s that time of year again, when rumours fly around quicker than Ronaldo can write off a Ferrari, and the press scrape the bottom of the barrel harder than ever. Take this scurrilous rumour for example.
I wouldn’t describe sport.co.uk as [...]
How green is the Valley…
By: Tim |After Billy Davies claimed that ‘there are 20-odd semi-finals left for us now, every game is important’, it was vital that we got a result in this relegation six-pointer at the Valley. Lucky, then, that our recent away form continued and we managed to scrape a 2-0 victory over the Addicks.
We may have rode [...]
You’re living in the past, man
By: Tim |As a Forest fan I’m all too accustomed to being told that the club is ‘stuck in the past’, or that we have delusions of grandeur. It’s an accusation that is frequently levelled at us, take this Championship blog for example. Joe Kinnear thought so too, shortly after joining us he made this remark: ‘Ever [...]
Citizens caned
By: Tim |Logic dictated that yesterday’s game at Eastlands would end up in humiliation for someone. Now, if I’m totally honest I didn’t think that side would be City, but it looks like we thoroughly deserved to be on the right side of a 3-0 scoreline.
The Blues had the majority of possession at 60/40, and more [...]
It’s all in the game yo
By: Tim |Well, it finally happened. After weeks of speculation that axe has been wielded, and, like Stevie GBH at the Lounge Inn earlier this week, Calderwood has been shown the door marked ‘exit’.
In some ways I feel for him, the timing could have been better (surely no-one wants to get the boot on Boxing Day?) [...]
