2-0 win. Beckford & Knight

Do I recall correctly Mr Harry, you have form for left field predictions?

[Turkish Trotter]

I think we'll beat this lot - not sure why, probably because being Bolton we'll win when no-one really gives us a chance.

2-0 win. Beckford & Knight

[Harry Genshaw]

I have predicted he'd score in previous games - yes

It has to happen one day. It has too - And I want to be there too

[Enoch]

Did you not witness either of his previous strikes for us!

Or indeed the one he scored in our goal.

No, not that one. The one when he was playing against us.

Being a Wanderer in Nottingham I ought to have my two 'peneth worth.

Having lived in Nottingham longer than Bolton, I've got to quite like Forest and County, but nothing compares to watching the Wanderers...I mean driving up the M1 / M62 / M61 for 2+ hours each way and sitting in the ESL and watching some of the rubbish we've served up in the Megson / Coyle era is such an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday.

Forest under Davies are a far cry from the beautiful teams and beautiful football that Cloughie used to play. They are a dirty / niggling team (next to bottom of fair play league ...only Blackpool have a worse record). The fans for some really strange reason love Billy Davies. Why I have no idea ! I've never rated his teams and he's full of soundbites when he talks to the press and he seems very selective as to who he speaks to in the press too.

Anyway, Forest will bring a shed load of fans. They will be noisy. They will sing 'mull of kintyre'.

I hope their is no afters bubbling under between "Reid and Medo" and if Pratley plays, I hope he keeps his head. Forest will be niggling the two of them !

They have a hairdresser between the sticks, who we didn't test at the City Ground.

It would be nice to take some of the many chances we seem to create and actually win comfortably. Maybe by 3 or 4. But then I'm always optimistic ...I had visions of us making a comeback at half time at ...cough cough ...Wembley

Anyway that's my two 'peneth

Forest needed closing down much higher up the pitch today. They gave West Ham no time on the ball yet the Hammers tried the cool Prem Speed approach. As we saw, it didn't work. Every time they attacked they were hassled and a quick break resulted to the other end. Forest weren't afraid to move the ball fast and shoot instead of trying intricate passing build ups that got nowhere. They were direct and their passes and ball control excellent. Attacking won the day without a doubt. No easy game ahead for us, but we can get something out of it.

Sam being out Samed?
Don't read too much into it I don't think he really gave a toss about tht game.

[jaffka]

[Il Pirate]

Oooo; errrrr, I'd like to think.........but...................

Its amazing how at the start of the season with all the hope and optimism we took 2400 to Forest, you watch when we go down to Derby in March we wont even take 500.

Tuesday night game though......

[bwfcdan94]

Ok well I don't think we will take more to Reading on a Saturday then despite it being a direct train from Manc.

[alonga6]

because that irksome blood-waste Up The M61 was quite the inspiration too...

He's not alone you know! Hopefully it'll be a good honest game now Davies has gone to PNE ...

[bobo the clown]

... and because that irksome blood-waste Up The M61 was quite the inspiration too...

OK ... I've tried but it's not happening. Who is this ?

Some Forest WUM who hung around a while earlier this season

Not that all Forest fans are knobheads, I know a few good uns, but this twonk undid all their good work

[bobo the clown]

Aaaaah. Ta. I recall him.

I was thinking of a player or manager.

I guess we can expect another visit from him soon.

Taking the girlfriend to football for the first time tomorrow as she wants to know why I have a painting of Nat Lofthouse in my living room.

Her previous football experience is, incredibly, as follows,

Flamengo-Fluminense derby in Rio
Boca-River derby in Buenos Aires
Man United - Bolton. (3-0)
Doing some exams at the Reebok.

It'll be similar to these experiences I'm sure. More likely to be the second two though. But colder. I don't expect it to be a regular thing.

[Bruce Rioja]

Tomorrow we will surprise all and sundry with a 3-1 victory. Oh yes. COYWM
