A
Review from the Fiords by Tomas Nilsen (Issue 11)
Draw!
Apart from being a phrase that has been used in any
self-respecting John Wayne movie, its also a keyword for
analysing Nottingham Forests season. Add the words
too and many and add an 's' after
draw, and youll come up with too many
draws.
Still, Im actually quite happy. I must say I feared the
worst when Platt left, Bart-Williams refused to sign a new
contract and the debts were revealed. Forest survived; they
played some good football, passed the ball well, and won a few
games. Nice.
Still, having been in Europe as late as in 1995/96, Im sure
many of you share my frustrations at being stuck in Division One.
Hopefully, not for too long, but I cant say that I see
Forest leaping into the Premiership already next season.
Gillingham. Wheres Gillingham? I have no idea. My only
knowledge of Gillingham is that they beat us. So did several
other not too well-known sides. Some we drew against. Like Crewe
Alexandra.
Highlights? Well, watching Forest beat Coventry at the City
Ground live on the telly was nice, and so were the enormous
amounts of beer consumed celebrating this win. Waking up the day
after wasnt that nice.
All in all, a season that I wont remember very fondly, but
one that offers some promise for the future. Pick up those
sunglasses.
