on paper Forest are much better, but with Malpas first game and being at home, my heart says we can nick it but head says draw at best but most likely lose  :(

That sounds like a nasty injury

Nottingham Forests sub was lucky not to get his head kicked in by fans at the front there. .

if you give a bit you've got to take a bit eh arriba?

still, all good fun.

Im still here-trying to get fucking World to work,again!

sturrock was fecking superb today, fair play to the lad

after having the top two down here in recent weeks, and making them both look very ordinary, im starting to get a wee bit optimistic. I loved today, my favourite day of the whole year

Oh balls. The bloke I was talking to in the pub and thought was you, er, wasn't then.

Cracking game.

What happened there? I just saw the townend going beserk.

On a biting Wiltshire day, where the apparently harmless rain poured relentlessly on to devour even the most hardy of the away supporters' souls, Forest came out distinctly second best against a Swindon side who displayed admirable levels of determination and dynamism given the atrocious weather conditions that eventually warped the pitch until it was a quagmire.

During the first half, Swindon took advantage of the prevailing wind that pushed them on towards the away supporters, and peppered the Forest box with crosses, long balls and set-pieces, mixing them in between with some good build-up play, whilst taking advantage of Forest's poor full-backs to pressure Morgan and Breckin who generally stood tall.

Though they seemed to carry little threat, a goal was inevitable, be it from a corner, cross or free-kick, whilst we allowed such heavy pressure and withdrew into an introverted mode, and the goal did come close to half-time when a free kick on the left wing, near the edge of the box, was swung in, and despite being relatively alone, James Perch diverted into his own net.

An admirable home crowd had roared Swindon on to an opener, and it's important to point out that Swindon completely overwhelmed us on and off the pitch – their fans put ours to shame with a vocal showing that would be totally out of place at The City Ground, and for this alone their fans deserved to be going home on the back of an excellent victory.

It's perhaps unfair of me to condemn the unusually quiet away crowd, who were, after all, largely plagued by the awful weather conditions in between witnessing a pitifully poor away performance, devoid of quality or passion, devoid of a game-plan and also at times, apparently, of quality too. We were essentially negative minded in contrast to Swindon and paid the price.

We probably had two opportunities of note throughout the match. First, came our goal. After our only passing move of the match we won a corner, which the poor, anonymous Davies curled in well, Chambers headed in. Late in the game, Tyson raced down the right wing and cut inside, beating his marker, and was blatantly fouled. Really, it was a stone-wall penalty, but the assistant “bottled it”, as one might say.

In between our goal and the apparent penalty, Swindon dominated, once again roared on by the home crowd, pressuring high up the field and accounting for the wind in their face with some good football that was often hampered by the poor pitch. Their pressure was relentless at times, and though Breckin headed past Smith from a right-wing cross after a flowing move, the Swindon pressure accounted for it, and our centre-halves played reasonably well throughout.

Anyway, I'm disappointed. Calderwood stuck with a winning team and was comfortably undone by his own stubbornness. Both full-backs had a 'mare, the midfield was non-existent without the commanding presence of either Clingan or Lennon, and Grant Holt reverted to the usual after a good performance last week. Tyson came on and was bright, but we are short of fire-power, and are short of common sense regarding team selection.

Calderwood...well, I'm not at all happy with him. I think he's holding the team back in the most basic of ways – in picking the wrong players in the wrong positions. He has other faults, but hell, if he starts well he might at least go on well.

i wish i could have seen the game properly...

town end view :(

Don't buy a ticket for there and then moan about the view. There are perfectly good seats in the Kingswood.  :mrgreen:  :soapy tit wank:

unlike you i can't afford to waste money to indulge my laziness  :D

when moses came on for blair, i thought we struggled to retain possession a little.

I'm usually optimistic, and I'm not writing our chances off. But that was RUBBISH. Why the hell are we losing to teams like Swindom Town. I don't give a f**k whether we're at home or away or what the conditions are like, there are no excuses for these all too regular pathetic away performances. If we don't start winning away soon, we're going to be in serious trouble. How can the game be so different away from home than at the City Ground?

Swindon....shit ground...shit team....we should be easily stuffing these sort of lower league teams

Swindon were rubbish we were worse

We scored all the goals?  Two own goals? Perch got the first for Swindon and then who got the winner?
Is this right?
We have begun winning the game for other teams

This is exactly what I feared after last week. We looked like we could win comfortably without playing too well and then we follow that up with a shocker

maybe I'm fickle, maybe I'm jumping the gun - but today sounded, from what I heard, Unacceptable.

Many Forest fans still have their heads up their rectums.

We are no longer able to compete with big clubs like Carlisle and Swansea.

Yeovil destroyed us in the play-offs last season.

Bigger clubs like Orient and Doncaster have more financial clout.

Lets stop moaning about the plight of the club and just accept what we are.

An average third tier club with an average fan base and very average ownership.

Just enjoy the footie and stop moaning.

Message to Calderwood: Sign  a striker, or sign your letter of resignation, because by time Agogo's back, automatic promotion will be long gone.
I really can't be arsed to say anymore, apart from as god as my witness, I will NEVER go to Swindon again.

Having had to watch Swindon a few times this year in my capacity as a scout.

If we can not beat this shower of s**t I hold no great hope for the future.

cunting fuckers. "going to places like swindon" wankers. fuck off. youre fucking nobodies. you had 4 or 5 good seasons thats it. wankers.

I'm off work so going to Forest away for sure.

Not sure if I should stop the night though.  :?

Swindon were rubbish we were worse

yup, all the forest fans seem of the opinion they lost because they played poorly.....nothing to do with making them play poorly because after all, we're just little Swindon  :roll:

Forest lose, the other team doesnt win!

Before Clough? - A nothing team that didn't achieve anything and was going nowhere.

After Clough? - See above.

The game wasn't a classic, the conditions were shit, but we wanted it sooo much more than they did and got what we deserved.

Only 4 weeks till we go up there, got a feeling we'll find it more difficult then.....

It still makes me giggle when Zaboub realises the fans were singing his name at one point. He looks startled then applauses  :mrgreen:

I like Zaaboub and I love the song for him, lets hope he continues to play well!

No need to change a winning team. Keep the line up the same.

i wouldn't change it either.blair was superb on saturday and desreves to keep his place.zaboob should stay in the team too for now also

Lets hope we dont have to rely on own goals for the next match.

Recently it has been Corr or Cox hitting the back of the net for us.

No one deserves to be dropped from the last game, but that doesn't mean changes can't be made.

Paynter can't buy a goal either at present, he must play Corr and I think he will.

Bring your friends-I am

Already come to Leeds away and Bournemouth at home this season and also she cant get here till lunchtime - too late to get to forest.

ditch her. She's not a real friend!

You havent seen her mate !

 :thumbs:

I didn't think Zaaboub had that good a game myself, not saying he was awful on Saturday just nothing really to go on about.
When he is good he is very good, when he is bad he is shocking, too inconsistent for me, give the new man a go asap.

:mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

Emma is a Hunni though !!!!!!

very aggressive and abusive too

allegedly, and exactly what evidence do you have to support that accusation Sonic ?

you continually hurled abuse at me!

:mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

Emma is a Hunni though !!!!!!

bah. All women look the same to me.

Lets hope we dont have to rely on own goals for the next match.

With the great way Comminges and JP overlap, i wonder if we could move Zaaboub to LB, where i think he looks good, and stick McNamee on the left wing?

I think teams would shit their pants with wingers and overlapping fullbacks like that. Even more so if Roberts came on for JP for the final 20 minutes. The opposition fullbacks would wish they'd stayed at home.

....but that removes Vincent from the team and he's been solid in defence and when he was injured we clearly missed him.
