"a win against a side that were former european champions"
clutching at straws there Benjamin!!! They were promotion favourites, it was an outstanding win and should not be underestimated. |

Fair enough promotion favourites, but the tag "former European champions" means nothing. If we get knocked out of this years FA Cup by West Auckland is that ok because they were the first ever World Club Champions?

A win against a side that were former European champions and favourites for promotion, a credible away draw and clean sheet, a close defeat to a team who are tipped for the title (Oldham) and a away defeat.
Not too bad and we have shown a marked improvement in the last couple of league games, we had a extremely difficult start on paper and a less than ideal pre-season, with this in mind we have done alright. Forest may well be former European champions but they've lost their last four games. |

In the third tier of the English footballing pyramid. Says it all really.
Now if we'd beaten Ajax or Bayern Munich a couple of weeks ago.....

Forest may well be former European champions but they've lost their last four games. They have undeniably got some superb players and may well turn it around, the season is very early. It was a great win for us. |

It doesn't matter how you look at it, our league form has not been good. End of. One win in 5 games is not good form. We're in the shit if we don't win on Saturday.

Going with a flat 3 at the back was fucking stupid
Wycombe are known for their pace (Tyson and Betsy) go we play with 3 central defence and no full backs to stop the wingers running straight at us
Fucking stupid....
wahey we beat forest, promotion favourites which means exactly fuck all the bookies know jack shit at this level, fuck sake I got odds of 14/1 on Grant Smith scoring first for us against Barnsley. Clutching at straws, say what you like about who Forest used to be, but now they are a shit side just like us....

They lost to Macclesfield in the Cup last night, never thought they would find this league easy.

Just like to point out that we are now just three points off first place and I for one would definitely have taken that after 5 games, also with 7 points from our last 3 games our league form is definitely good.  Oh and Nottingham Forest won 3-1 away to Gillingham today. Very tough game on Monday though. |
