A tinker too far? Millwall 2 Forest 2 – Matchday 19

by Scott Eley | 7 December 2019 | Match Report

It’s taken me a little while to come to terms with last nights action after initially being thoroughly annoyed that we had dropped two points, conceding so late on after we had seemingly ‘stolen’ a win just minutes before. It wasn’t a good performance last night by...

Millwall – Away Q&A – Matchday 19

by Scott Eley | 5 December 2019 | Articles

Following Saturday’s complete comeback to earth defeat against a very Millwall-esq Cardiff side on Saturday, one of the last games I would have wanted to follow that was Millwall away! By Millwall-esq, I don’t want to do their team a disservice by any means; Forest...

Through gritted teeth – Forest 0 Cardiff 1 – Matchday 18

by Scott Eley | 1 December 2019 | Match Report

Bloody hell that was frustrating yesterday. Sometimes there are days when everything you hit flies in and on others, it finds row Z. Unfortunately, Forest’s performance against Cardiff fell towards the latter for those that just wanted something to warm them up at a...

Away Q&A: Cardiff City – Matchday 18

by Scott Eley | 29 November 2019 | Articles

On the back of the final euphoric ten minutes midweek trouncing of 10 men QPR, you’ll forgive me if I seem a little bit over the top. I’ve not felt this good about a Forest side since Billy Davies first stint which seems almost an age away thinking about it now....

Forest are magic – QPR 0 – Forest 4 – Matchday 17

by Scott Eley | 27 November 2019 | Match Report

Right from the off tonight, Forest looked well up for the trip to QPR as soon as Joe Worrall was rallying the troops in the pre match huddle. As far as Wednesday evenings go, that was pretty enjoyable stuff although we momentarily threatened to make a mess of it...

Away Q&A: QPR – Matchday 17

by Scott Eley | 25 November 2019 | Articles

On the back of a great point at Bristol becomes a good opportunity in my eyes for Forest to flex our promotion muscles with the midweek trip to QPR. As with any Mark Warburton side, and as many of us know, you’d expect that Forest will be allowed to get the ball down...

Resolute! Bristol City 0 Forest 0 – Matchday 16

by Scott Eley | 24 November 2019 | Match Report

Let’s be right, a point away at Bristol City with 10 men is a big result for Forest. There’s no doubt we would’ve capitulated in seasons gone by. The commitment to the cause is great to see and at the final whistle, you could see how much it meant to the players,...

Away Q&A: Bristol City: Matchday 16

by Scott Eley | 19 November 2019 | Articles

Following on from a typical Forest run of games after the last international break where we took maximum points from the trickier fixtures against Luton and Derby but failed to register any points against then struggling sides Wigan and Hull; I'm hoping that we'll hit...

Happy Birthday Boss – Forest 1 Derby 0 – Matchday 15

by Scott Eley | 10 November 2019 | Match Report

There are days when your football club stands head and shoulders above your rivals and notably yesterday was the display by the Forza Garibaldi. It was simply the most poignant thing I’ve ever seen at The City Ground. The Last Post bugle always puts hairs on the back...

We hate Derby and we hate Derby…

by Scott Eley | 7 November 2019 | Articles

In this part of the world, there is only one true derby game. Leicester think they're part of the rivalry but in comparison to this fixture, they're a distant relative. Growing up as a kid, I've been refused entry at a mates' house by his Dad unless I took my Forest...

Away Q&A – Derby County – Matchday 15

by Scott Eley | 7 November 2019 | Articles

So the big one on Saturday and I can feel myself doing my best Phil Mitchell impression with some big sighing going on at the thought of defeat. It's one of those where it feels like Christmas but then you know if could be the worst day ever too. Live and die by the...

An interview with Colin Fray – Part 2

by Scott Eley | 7 November 2019 | Articles

Asking Colin which was his favourite games to commentate on, it was fairly easy for him to come up with quick answers. As a top 3, Bayern Munich away in 1995/96 season, at the Olympic Stadium was special; for where it was and the occasion of a European night. Talking...
