A five minute cameo substitute appearance in which he managed to fall over the ball in the Derby penno area (well maybe not fall over the ball , but took a clumsy tumble)

Re: Development Squad versus Derby (at Alfreton Town) : 1-1

Trotter was good and I am sure he will do a job for us during the long winter I remember him bossing the midfield at the Reebok for Millwall the first season we dropped from Prem A picture from the game , Hall and Clayton lining up the free kick for our goal http://media.365project.org/1/5525926_ajl...

Development Squad versus Derby (at Alfreton Town) : 1-1 :

Just returned from the Impact Arena, Alfreton (great name ...Impact Arena , not Alfreton), to watch the Dev Squad play Derby County The Impact Arena was a real old school ground, rickety stands, an away end name "The Tin Stand" (after the tin roof I think), Terracing with seats bolted onto it.

Losing The Dressing Room - No Such Thing

I've read quite a few threads on here about Dougie 'losing the dressing room'. I'm sorry but there is no such thing as losing the dressing room. As a professional in any job, you might not agree with what your manager is asking you to do, you may not even like your manager, you might even challenge ...

Re: Forest match thread

My real hatred lies for their nearest rivals, always hated County more than any other team. Also Nottingham's a sh*thole :D . Dan, Nottingham isn't a sh*thole, it's a pretty cool city...lots of decent bars, restaurants, 2 x uni's, decent theatre's, trams, a nice river, test match cricket, 2 x footi...

Re: Forest match thread

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 watchin...

Positives From Today

I know it is hard to find any, but ...... Positives From Today 1) Shirt sleeve weather and a warm sun for the East Stand Lower 2) Ream was good in a Campo'esque role. 3) Half Time Golden Gamble ...Frankie Worthington 4) Derby scored too many goals (away), so by law of averages can't score on Tuesday...

Re: It's a Marathon not a Sprint

Ohh err i started this thread, i don't think we are wearing running shoes.... Maybe we got spikes on.

Judging by how the defence dived and threw themselves to the floor for the shambolic 1st goal yesterday maybe we have entered gymnastics.

It's a Marathon not a Sprint

I'm not a regular poster, but I do browse the content. As the late Bill Shankly is alleged to have said... "It's a Marathon not a Sprint" Lots of mass panic and hysteria on here after the opening few matches. Seems to be lots of rants on here about certain players, even questions about Dougie's comp...

Re: Tuesday's Trip to Tranmere

Bloke on SSN said it will be a 'ding dong' last 25 minutes ...all he missed was a 'do'

Can we lay off the 'Knight Rants', he may not be very good, but he's the best CB on our books, he's far better than the 'clumsy / slow / no football brain' Wheater will ever be.

Knight was OK alongside Dawson.

Re: Nat's statue unveiling

It's a super statue, top marks to the club for the way it's been done. I'm sure if you have a long zoom and shoot the image from a distance you can get Nat with Winter Hill in the background. I like the idea of a a 'lucky rub' of Nat's Boot as a match day ritual They have a statue of Brian Clough in...

Re: Game for the Poaching at Forest!

It's a good post. To me like last season it's the horrid phrase 'fine margins'. Add in a Dawson like organiser at the back and the effect is huge. It's not just cutting out some dodgy defending its also letting the team step up 5/10 yards to compress the game. We are sitting deeper as the backine d...

Re: Game for the Poaching at Forest!

I don't post very often on here, but as it's a 'home game' for me and I've gone home frustrated, disappointed, embarrassed then I feel upset enough to post. I thought we were very poor today. We were intimidated by Forest's hustle and their partisan crowd and the players did not stand up and be coun...

Re: Youth Cup vrs Forest

I don't post often on here, but here's a report for you of the youth cup quarter final at the City Ground Players mentioned in the report are from the team sheet and the match day announcer said he 'thought' it was correct ! Estimated number of Wanderers supporters there ...about 12 ...four students...
