Mark Warburton left himself wide open to criticism following two catastrophic defeats over the Easter bank holiday. His team selection and positional deployment has left everyone scratching their heads, especially where the centre forwards are concerned. Having produced the best display of the season against Huddersfield, the Forest boss fielded the exact same eleven against … Continue reading Warburton Did Himself No Favours
Mist Rolling in from the Hudson – Big Apple/Small World
As I took my seat for the Forest v Derby game last Saturday, red jerseys surrounded me as usual, there was one big difference though; it was 9am and I was in New York City! Having foolishly booked my trip to the Big Apple whilst the East Midlands derby was taking place, the next best … Continue reading Mist Rolling in from the Hudson – Big Apple/Small World
What’s Happened to Britt? (un-edited)
Despite currently leading the way as Nottingham Forest’s top scorer, there is something seriously wrong with Britt Assombalonga. The Congolese hit man is a shadow of his former self at present and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. His form of late has been very poor and is getting consistently worse by the day. It’s so easy … Continue reading What’s Happened to Britt? (un-edited)
Away point at Wigan Divides the Fans
Nottingham Forest ended their losing streak with a goalless draw at Wigan, but it’s a result that has divided opinion among the supporters. Personally, I would have settled for a point before kick-off and I’m not overly concerned that we only picked up a draw. Consider that we were recently dumped out of the FA … Continue reading Away point at Wigan Divides the Fans

Brereton – The Boy from Brazil
17-year-old Ben Brereton wrote himself into Nottingham Forest folklore on Saturday, his winning goal was a fitting tribute on the fifth anniversary of Nigel Doughty’s passing. It was certainly a day for landmarks and the television cameras were there to capture it all. Gary Brazil masterminded a third win in four matches as the Forest … Continue reading Brereton – The Boy from Brazil
Osborn Goal Is Up There with the Best of Them
Ben Osborn’s wonder strike against Bristol City is a candidate for goal of the season, but where does it rank among the historic greats for Nottingham Forest. The 22-year-old orchestrated a goal of exquisite quality last Saturday, one that evoked memories of the Matthew Le Tissier and John Sheridan efforts back in the day. As … Continue reading Osborn Goal Is Up There with the Best of Them
Brazil and Lester Should Be Given Until Season’s End
Gary Brazil got off to a winning start in his second spell as Nottingham Forest manager, and he should be given the rest of the season along with Jack Lester in my opinion. It may not have been the prettiest victory, but Saturday’s win over Bristol City provided enough evidence that fifty-four-year-old Brazil is tactically … Continue reading Brazil and Lester Should Be Given Until Season’s End
He Without Sin Cast the First Stone
When my friend asked if I was coming to have a pint with a guy called Boatsy I declined; “I don’t mix with hooligan’s mate” were the very words I uttered! There you have it, shameful prejudice on my part which conjured up the biblical term “He without sin cast the first stone!” So, when … Continue reading He Without Sin Cast the First Stone
