Popular Post Jerseybean Posted January 25 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 25 A sell out. We all enjoyed the last game under the lights at Ashton Gate on 16 January, here’s how the BBC captured it, https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67984498 This Friday night under the lights in BS3 promises to be another special one. Forest were held by Blackpool at home in round 3 and won the replay 3-2 with Wood netting for Forest (couldn’t resist) in extra time. Head to head we have won 22, lost 43 and drawn 33. In all fixtures between the two clubs, Forest have a 44% win rate and only a 22% loss rate. However, for the four times we have played each other in the F.A. Cup, going back to 1922, Forest have a 100% win rate (the 1922 tie went to a replay after a 0-0 draw at Ashton Gate, Forest winning the replay 3-1 with Henri Lansbury scoring all four goals) Last Saturday they were away to Brentford it finished in a 3-2 defeat for the away team. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwizg_OryuWDAxV6UqQEHerGBloQtwJ6BAgUEAI&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxKeaR1jQ2w&usg=AOvVaw1fdGCvTbSYU7TVUnx1ooWJ&opi=89978449 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwizg_OryuWDAxV6UqQEHerGBloQtwJ6BAgQEAI&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQLd1JoCWC0&usg=AOvVaw1d2VdgzQnJNzDt2W2UCgY0&opi=89978449 Who would you consider to be the five greatest Forest players of all time? https://thesporting.blog/blog/greatest-nottingham-forest-players-of-all-time Players who have played for them and us include, Jack Hunt, Chris Wood, Henri Lansbury, Peter Cormack and John Galley.

Two-Time European Champions One of their most remarkable achievements was winning the European Cup not once, but twice. Under the management of Brian Clough, Forest clinched the prestigious trophy in back-to-back seasons, in 1979 and 1980.

The club has won the Football League Cup (now known as the Carabao Cup) four times. Longest-serving Manager The longest-serving manager in Nottingham Forest’s history is Frank Clark. He guided the team for over seven years and etched his name in the club’s folklore.

REDOXO Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Among my worst footy memories are the League Cup semi and losing there 2/1 in the Cup circa 81. Mabutt scored for us and we played very well. They got a horror homer ref pen and Wallace scored at the death. I can’t remember if that was the game that the four stupidest people in the world got in the away end and actually did get their ******* heads kicked in! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were reigning European Champions , I believe we had just got relegated . 1-0 half time and the noise we echoing round the ground. Really gutting , I forgot how late they scored. 83 & 88 minutes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 This seems strange: ”Nottingham Forest’s iconic nickname, “The Reds,” is linked to the legendary folk hero, Robin Hood.” Robin Hood was traditionally shown dressed in Lincoln Green. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I've seen a few clips of Forest over the week, and a few points pop up. They have injury problems, apparently fairly heavy up front. They have several players one contracts with no relegation clauses. If they get relegated they could be in big FFP trouble. Now adding 2 & 2 and probably getting 5 , I wonder if they may rest a few for tonight . Arsenal Tuesday and Bournemouth next weekend will surely take precedence , but how much. We could do with them resting all the fit strikers, they've scored 2 or more in each of their last 6 games. On the other side, in those 6 games they've let in 11. So , what chances an exciting 4-2 home win tonight. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Got a feeling we’ll get bullied a bit tonight . Nuno’s teams are usually set up well & quite physical , we’ll miss Joe in midfield .
