Nottingham Forest 1-0 Huddersfield Town (EFL Championship Playoff Final) 29.05.22 Destination, Premier League. Not since the late nineties have Nottingham Forest been able to say that they were a top flight side, until now that is. Following a season that started off in disastrous fashion, they were relegation favourites for most of the early part…
Bournemouth 1-0 Nottingham Forest (EFL Championship) 03.05.22 A dominant second half performance by AFC Bournemouth ensured that it was they, not Nottingham Forest who gain automatic promotion to the Premier League, the Reds falling to a late winner by substitute Kiefer Moore, will now have to go through the painful route of playoffs if they…
The facts are that if Nottingham Forest win their next two matches, they will be ‘almost certain’ to gain automatic promotion to the Premier League for the first time since 1998. Although even that’s still not really assured in the dizzy heights of the Championship, take Fulham’s 7-0 win against Luton Town last night, as…
I do like to be beside the seaside, especially if it coincides with a Forest 4-1 win such as against Blackpool, as happened not so long ago! Now there’s another chance for Forest fans to take the bracing sea air. Change compass direction and work east along the south-coast. Plymouth, Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Brighton have…
No less than four Nottingham Forest players featured in the Awards Ceremony of the EFL last night with Brennan Johnson receiving the prestigious honour as Sky Bet Championship Young Player of the Year for 2021/22. The Welsh capped winger has scored 15 times this season and stated upon winning the award “It’s just down to…
Luton Town 1-0 Nottingham Forest (EFL Championship) 15.04.22 It wasn’t to be for Nottingham Forest at Kenilworth Road on this ‘no’ Good Friday afternoon in the Championship promotion race as they were edged by a physical Luton who leapfrog the Reds in the table after a scrappy and bitty affair which was decided by a…
Forest are currently third in the Championship. I love league tables. Let me rephrase that. I love football league tables (as opposed to those devised by politicians to spread the fallacy that ‘performance’ in education, health and much else can be quantified in such terms alone). They crystallise the competitive essence of professional sport. There’s…
Blackpool 1-4 Nottingham Forest (EFL Championship) 02.04.22 Nottingham Forest excitingly returned from the international layoff with more intent, more goals and more encouragement that they are ready for the final leg and the all-important run in of the season as they look towards pushing into the playoffs and potentially even further beyond. Forest were fabulous…
Nottingham 5-26 Doncaster Knights (RFU Championship) 01.04.22 Nottingham were beaten by Doncaster at the Bay last night as the Archers end their disappointing RFU Championship season with a fifteenth defeat in twenty games. The away side took the lead in just seven minutes when Holden went over and doubled their advantage to two scores as…
Nottingham Forest 3-1 Queens Park Rangers (EFL Championship) 16.03.22 A brilliant performance by Nottingham Forest saw the Reds come back from behind to beat fellow promotion contenders Queens Park Rangers at a soaked City Ground. A decent start by the away side saw a couple of early opportunities go begging for Rangers, the first after…
Sheffield United 1-1 Nottingham Forest (EFL Championship) 04.03.22 Nottingham Forest came back from brink of defeat to gain a vital draw in the playoff race last night as Ryan Yates header deep into stoppage time earned the Reds a share of the spoils in Sheffield. Despite their scare of near defeat, Forest played well and…
Nottingham Forest make the short journey north tonight as they take on Sheffield United in the Championship for some Friday night football at Bramall Lane ahead of the Reds fifth round FA Cup clash on Monday night against Huddersfield Town at the City Ground. Last night, Forest were drawn at home to Liverpool in the…
Nottingham Forest 2-0 Bristol City (EFL Championship) 26.02.22 Nottingham Forest are back to within three points of the Championship playoff places after a comfortable victory at home to Bristol City. The Reds started bright early-on against the Robins with Djed Spence from long-range forcing a good save by Bentley who tipped over on four minutes…
Preston North End 0-0 Nottingham Forest (EFL Championship) 22.02.22 Without a game for ten days following Friday night’s postponement in Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest looked rusty against a Preston North End side off the back of a home defeat against Reading at the weekend and with a point to prove, a point in the end is…
Cardiff City 2-1 Nottingham Forest (EFL Championship) 30.01.22 It wasn’t to be for playoff pushing Nottingham Forest who were beaten in Wales by a team that had infamously the worse home record in the Championship. Cardiff on the day the better of the two sides and deserving victory against a team that looked to be…
Nottingham Forest 3-0 Barnsley (EFL Championship) 25.01.22 A deflated Barnsley took on a rampant in-form Nottingham Forest who weren’t prepared to rest on their laurels after their derby win at the weekend. The visitors actually asked the EFL to postpone the match at the City Ground on Monday with a number of injuries and covid…
Nottingham Forest 2-1 Derby County (EFL Championship) 22.01.22 There’s always something special about the great East Midlands ‘derby day’ 100 league matches old today and no Brian Clough Trophy match should ever go without incident and on this super Saturday on a sunny January this marvellous match up between two form sides with two very…
Millwall 0-1 Nottingham Forest (EFL Championship) 15.01.22 Yet again a late Lewis Grabban goal gave Nottingham Forest a second successive one-nil win after the Reds repeated their impressive feat in the FA Cup against Arsenal last week to secure maximum championship points at the Den. It wasn’t the prettiest first half in South East London…
Nottingham Forest 0-1 Huddersfield Town (EFL Championship) 30.12.21 A disappointing end to 2020 for Nottingham Forest who were somehow beaten at home against the Terriers no thanks to a Duane Holmes strike on the half hour and some poor very finishing on the night. Forest made several changes from the side that were beaten at…
Nottingham Forest 2-1 Hull City (EFL Championship) 18.12.21 Nottingham Forest are up to seventh in the Sky Bet Championship table after a dramatic win over Hull City warmed the hearts of the precautionary but packed City Ground faithful on a cold and misty December day Trentside. The Reds now have 30 points from 15 games…
