That’s life – Birmingham City 2 – Forest 1 – Matchday 29

by Scott Eley | 3 February 2020 | Match Report

Away Q&A: Birmingham. Matchday 29

by Scott Eley | 30 January 2020 | Articles

Birmingham away has never been the happiest of hunting grounds for Forest and recalling last seasons debacle under Martin O’Neill it’s refreshing to think that we’ll pose some kind of threat on Saturday. My vivid memory of that game was the travelling fans chanting...

Mind your own Beeswax- Brentford 0 Forest 1 – Matchday 28

by Scott Eley | 30 January 2020 | Match Report

It's a well known thought in sport that you should never under estimate your opponents. Forest's win at Brentford on Tuesday night had a resounding sense off exactly pulling that off. My pre-match piece was full of respect and almost envy of what Brentford are...

Good things come to those that wait – Forest 1 Reading 1 – Matchday 27

by Scott Eley | 23 January 2020 | Match Report

Last night's draw against Reading certainly was frustrating but I'd be going too far to say it was a disappointing Forest display. I didn’t see a lot wrong with Forest's performance last night and it was as close to the 1-0 home win over Brentford earlier in the...

Away Q&A – Luton Town – Matchday 26

by Scott Eley | 18 January 2020 | Articles

After last weeks bonkers finish at Reading which left me reeling on dropping two points, Forest will be keen to make sure they don’t pick up anything less than the maximum take home on Sunday against struggling Luton Town. Luton are on a dismal run of form and given...

Happy New Year – Forest 3 Blackburn 2 – Matchday 25

by Scott Eley | 2 January 2020 | Match Report

How pleasing was that to see Forest finish the holiday with their third win on the bounce? Very. The much maligned home form certainly found a new gear at times yesterday and sent out a reminder to the league that when our front three players click, we look a very...

Away Q&A – Blackburn Rovers – Matchday 25

by Scott Eley | 31 December 2019 | Articles

Following an unconvincing performance in the 1-0 win over Wigan, Forest are presented with a great opportunity to continue our promotion push into the New Year. In a series of disappointing performances at home, Forest really haven't performed well at The City Ground...

Levels – Hull 0 Forest 2 – Matchday 23

by Scott Eley | 27 December 2019 | Match Report

Well, well, well the trip to Hull on Boxing Day proved to be the perfect Christmas present for Forest fans as we were without a win in five games. With several dissenting voices beginning to question the manager, it was fantasttic to see such a spirited performace...

Deja Vu – Huddersfield 2 Forest 1 -Matchday 22

by Scott Eley | 24 December 2019 | Match Report

Post-Mortem: Forest 0 Sheff Wed 4 – Matchday 21

by Scott Eley | 15 December 2019 | Match Report

Christ alive, I don’t know even know where to start after the worst Forest home showing I’ve seen for a very, very long time at The City Ground. The closest thing I could think of was a 4-2 drubbing at home to Doncaster, Boxing Day, 2008 when Julian Bennet had done...
