FOREST AWAY: Manchester United, Tuesday 27th December – Fan Guide
Every now and again I fall into the trap of forgetting, or just not being able to comprehend, that when the return of the Premier League is mentioned, it involves us. It had definitely felt real, but the World Cup threw me off course again. Bloody hell, what a year it’s been. A first FA […]
FOREST AWAY: Blackburn, League Cup 4th Round, Wednesday 21st December – Fan Guide
Before the Premier League season slammed shut at the beginning of November, there was clear signs that we were finding our feet and bit of rhythm. We can’t know for sure but in any other season without a World Cup being dropped haphazardly into the middle of it, we might just have started to drag […]
FOREST AWAY: Arsenal, Sunday 30th October – Fan Guide
Hope! The last couple of games have done us much good, showing the defeat at Wolves was perhaps an outlier in our renewed form. We are still far from any sort of comfort, we remain bottom, but the Liverpool result was the type of occasion the club has longed for and, crucially, chalked up consecutive […]
FOREST AWAY: Brighton, Tuesday 18th October – Fan Guide
There is now undoubtedly a real sense of unease about our ability to compete in the Premier League. The defeat at Wolves felt different, not that we were miles behind them, but a bit of hopelessness set in. Wolves were pretty bad themselves but we couldn’t muster enough to overcome them. Steve Cooper said similar […]
FOREST AWAY: Wolves, Saturday 15th October – Fan Guide
Pretty tough going this Premier League lark, isn’t it? But hopefully Villa was the small steps forward we so badly needed. Just about every single possible opinion on our current situation has been offered but the current predicament, as usual, is probably somewhere firmly between the polar opposite war that blazes on Twitter. It feels […]
FOREST AWAY: Leicester City, Monday 3rd October – Fan Guide
The enforced breaks in September have left a slight feeling of unease. Losing had become uncommon but now it’s unpleasantly familiar. Not that this is a surprise but the manner of defeats before we headed into the blank weekends allowed fears to manifest and give rise to the dreaded debate of where we are going […]
FOREST AWAY: Manchester City, Wednesday 31st August – Fan Guide
Newcastle was nice(ish). Everton was almost glorious, but definitely great. Grimsby was fun. Manchester City away? It feels conflicted. On the one hand, seeing such talented players in the flesh is a very exciting prospect. But on the other, seeing such talented players PLAY AGAINST US is slightly less exciting. Watching them tear through teams […]
FOREST AWAY: Grimsby Town, League Cup R2, Tuesday 23rd August – Fan Guide
Until May of this year, if you’d asked me what’s the best fun I’ve ever had at a game, I think I would have plumped for Grimsby away, September 2000. A fixture that had little major significance turned into a party on the east coast as the second half began with Forest two goals up. […]
FOREST AWAY: Everton, Saturday 20th August – Fan Guide
Following promotion, among the endless positives that our new-found Premier League placing would provide, it was repeatedly drummed home about the chaos that fixture changes was going to spread chaos. And yet here we are with consecutive Saturday 3pm away games! Today (Friday) it’s exactly 1,000 days since the last time we had back to […]
FOREST AWAY: Newcastle United, Saturday 6th August – Fan Guide
And here we are. Does it seem real yet? There’s that sense of the day before you go on holiday for a fortnight. Have we got everything we need? Should we pick up another left back just to be safe? Oh bloody hell, did we remember to ask Harry Arter to leave or is he […]
