FOREST AWAY: Bournemouth, Sunday 4th February – Fan Guide
Another transfer deadline passes and as has become the expectation, we had a busy day. Far more restrained than previously but, as ever, judgement will come down the line on our business. The loss of Mangala, however financially advantageous to our accounts, is troubling given he has regularly looked like a very good Premier League […]
FOREST AWAY: Bristol City, FA Cup 4th Round, Friday 26th January – Fan Guide
Whatever lies in store for Nottingham Forest in the years to come, I will always, always have that happy memory of Bristol City away in 2021 to make me smile. We didn’t know at the time that far greater days lay not too far away, but that rain-soaked night at Ashton Gate may have been […]
FOREST AWAY: Brentford, Saturday 20th January – Fan Guide
These away games are coming thick and fast now, aren’t they?! With plenty of miles added to each one too. Brentford will be the second of the ‘B’s’ – Blackpool, Brentford, Bristol City and Bournemouth – that we’ll travel to in just over two and a half weeks. That’s some effort and hopefully those trapesing […]
FOREST AWAY: Blackpool, FA Cup R3 Replay, Wednesday 17th January – Fan Guide
There is an elephant in this away guide. Big and sweaty and causing a lot of distress, so much so that I feel compelled to mention its presence. Some proper commentary and input from Forza Garibaldi may follow but, for now I’ll say this as myself, as I like these guides to reflect current matters… […]
FOREST AWAY: Newcastle, Tuesday 26th December – Fan Guide
Writing this latest edition of our guide, it was difficult not to cast the mind back to our last visit up to St James’ Park. It was a day of sunshine and excitement to be back in the Premier League. This time there is not so much sunshine and certainly not so much excitement. When […]
FOREST AWAY: Wolves, Saturday 9th December – Fan Guide
I’m driving home up the M1 in the dark and the rain and it’s allowing plenty of time to think. The horror of Craven Cottage is a couple of hours behind me now; good riddance to that. I’m sort of writing this in my head at around midnight as I enjoy a remarkably good collection […]
FOREST AWAY: Fulham, Wednesday 6th December – Fan Guide
One of the things I’ve really come to enjoy about being a Premier League team is that there is blessed gaps in the midweek scheduling. I think I’m right in saying that this is the only scheduled away fixture on a regular evening slot. It’s actually quite bizarre how in the Championship that they shoe-horn […]
FOREST AWAY: West Ham United, Sunday 12th November – Fan Guide
The calm has been restored after a delightful victory over Villa. Cooper fist-pumps all round and the team were serenaded by a boisterous City Ground. All is well, until the next time it isn’t. Sunday (it’s always Sunday now it seems) presents a game that is hard to read. Last season this fixture was one […]
FOREST AWAY: Liverpool, Sunday 29th October – Fan Guide
Games like Luton, moments like Luton are going to come. As ridiculous and as agonising as they are, we aren’t above them happening to us. They shouldn’t happen but they will happen. Mistakes were made and bad judgement was apparent, but such vigorous finger pointing and whining is utterly ridiculous. In the hours and the […]
FOREST AWAY: Crystal Palace, Saturday 7th October – Fan Guide
As we step into October and the nights begin to draw in quite quickly, there is usually a chance to assess what the campaign might have in store. At this point last season, it was very much about survival, both for the team and the manager, after a dismal loss at Leicester. There was a […]
