Nottingham Forest 2-0 Portsmouth: But what next?
The ‘season from hell’ ends 10 points above the relegation zone as Forest put two past Portsmouth. James Bolton reports from the City Ground.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Blackpool: Another point closer to safety

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Bristol City: Smash and grab
A frustrating game in front of the TV cameras saw Forest’s four match unbeaten run come to an end against a resilient Bristol City. James Bolton reports from the City Ground. Steve Cotterill unsurprisingly named an unchanged starting XI to the one that beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at Selhurst Park last weekend. They had reason [...]
The green shoots of recovery
Following a remarkable change in fortunes, Peter Blackburn takes a look at the reasons behind a resurgent Nottingham Forest rising from the flames of likely relegation and gives credit to a man that few like to praise. Just weeks ago I was wandering the streets in football melancholia, with Radiohead’s The Bends ringing through my [...]

Following up the 7-3 victory over Leeds United was never going to be easy but a dominating performance saw Forest unlucky not to take all three points against Brighton.

Survival technique
Following a deeply inconsistent few weeks and a disappointing derby day defeat, Peter Blackburn considers the route to survival for Nottingham Forest. The famous author of the American Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, once wrote ‘on matters of style, swim with the current – on matters of principal, stand like a rock.’ Recent results and [...]
Derby County 1-0 Nottingham Forest: An ugly affair
Forest lost another Tuesday game but other matters overshadowed the result. James Bolton reports from Pride Park. Forest were forced into one change from the team that won 3-1 at home against Millwall as they travelled to Pride Park to face Derby County in the rearrangement of the original league fixture that was victim of [...]
Do we need a Supporters’ Trust?
Following last Friday’s statement on the future of the club — and the possibility of new owners next season — does Nottingham Forest need a Supporters’ Trust? Steve Wright isn’t so sure. “The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is [...]
Nottingham Forest 3-1 Millwall: Reid takes centre stage
After Tuesday’s loss against Doncaster, Forest redeemed themselves with a resounding victory over Millwall. James Bolton reports from the City Ground. Steve Cotterill named a much more balanced side for the visit of Millwall in another key game at the bottom of the Championship.
