    Goalkeeping Coach

    The guy appointed GK Coach by MW (so influential I can't recall his name) has left. Now that's strange timing as usually when a manager leaves, so does his coaching staff. Why didn't he go at the same time? Ian Bennett the Academy Coach has taken over, but it looks like a temporary...

    Question: How many Forest coaches does it take to change a lightbulb?

    Coining an old joke I know, but it's not exactly a lightbulb more a playing system. Answer: 5 apparently. https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/2018/january/new-appointments-to-first-team-staff/

    Ben Osborn's moustache

    Two of our younger players, Ben Brereton and Matty Cash are able to carry off growing facial hair as for them it is dark and they do have the right sort of face. The same applies to our loan player Jorge Grant. But Ben Osborn ? Come on! Cherubic features and being blondish just doesn't carry...

    Under 18 FA Youth Cup

    If you have had your appetite whetted by the progress of our Academy lads in our 1st team, then why not come along and support the next generation in the under 18 Youth Cup tie at The City Ground tomorrow (Tuesday) night. Actually is the next but one generation as we have some great prospects in...

    Cyrille Regis

    Death just announced of former WBA and Coventry striker at the tragically early age of just 59. Saw him a few times down at the CG. Great player and role model for black players, What he and his kind had to put up with in the 1970s/80s is just unbelievable.

    Aston Villa game

    I am really looking forward to seeing BB run rings around John Terry and Matty Cash showing Henri just how to be an effective, hassling and creative midfielder.

    Manager Merry go round

    Pulis sacked at WBA. They have been getting lower crowds than us recently so fans not happy. Neither was the Chinese owner. Bloody foreign owners only in it for the kudos and money.

    Some jottings

    Forest under 23s beat Derby last night at Pride Park with Mills, Cash, Clough, Henderson and Bouchalakis getting a run out. Teams are of course allowed up to three I think over-age players (we had two, Mills and Bouchalakis) plus a keeper. Clough and Cash scored. I didn't go but will be going to...

    Under 23s

    Watched the under 23s 1-1 draw against Burnley yesterday but have only just got around to writing about it. There is a match report on the OS, but reading it poses the question - did the writer actually watch the game as there are glaring errors in it. However, I am not writing a separate...

    Johnny Metgod

    Johnny arrived in late June with a flurry of excitement, but since then we have heard nothing about him. I appreciate that a lot of the work of a director is behind doors and not perhaps to be openly broadcast, but exactly what has he been doing for the past 2 months?

    Ariyibi leaves on loan

    The first I would guess of a few who will be farmed out this season. Didn't impress MW when he first came and perhaps hasn't in Florida. https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/2017/july/ariyibi-leaves-on-loan/

    Pre-season friendlies

    1541 tickets taken up by Forest for the Mansfield friendly and no more will be allocated. What's the capacity of their ground? Says 10,000 on their website. Lets hope only 1541 Mansfield supporters show up too. Have they got that many? Serve them right.

    Training in Florida

    Just been checking out the photos on the OS of the training in Florida trying to spot who's there. Surprise, surprise but Vellios is there. So are the three first choice keepers so does that scotch the Bogdan rumours? Cummings has got the 35 shirt. Toby Edser is there but couldn't identify any...

    Championship signings 2017/2018

    Curtis Davies has swapped the hell of Hull for the dire of Derby. £500K for a 32 year old. That's older than either Mills or Hobbs.

    20 Legends - Nottingham Forest

    I saw this relatively new book in my local library today and was tempted to borrow it. http://www.inthetopone.com/2016/3/25/11303886/book-review-20-legends-nottingham-forest-john-brindley However, in the introduction the author recalls chatting as a child to former Forest player Bobby McKinlay...

    Bradford

    Just read an article this morning on how the former football ground of Bradford Park Avenue has been transformed into a multi-million pound cricket training facility for the people of Yorkshire - male and female; able and disabled; and for the various religions of that area. The article goes on...

    Lisbon Lions

    Tonight on BBC 1 there's a programme celebrating the 50th anniversary of Glasgow Celtic winning The European Cup - the first British team to do so. It is entitled Lisbon Lions, the nickname Celtic acquired after the city where they won the Cup. I remember watching it on the TV in black and...
