So, once again we come to a weekend in this Championship season, facing a good side in a game that it seems we need to win, feel like we’ve been here before?

A humiliating 3-1 defeat at home to arch rivals Derby County this afternoon consigned Nottingham Forest to their third lose in a week. There was not much for Reds supporters to be cheerful about come full-time – even the return of goal scorer Robert Earnshaw and the surprise inclusion of Paul Anderson in the starting eleven did little to restore faith in the Reds survival hopes.

A 2-0 defeat at the hands of Birmingham City this afternoon left Nottingham Forest looking worryingly over their shoulders at the relegation mire. Forest remain four points clear but another victory for Doncaster Rovers means that they have now slipped to 19th position in the league table.

Billed as the ‘last chance saloon’ for Colin Calderwood, I expected this to be a nervy tie, and wasn’t disappointed.

I thought it best to put this report away from the hysteria of the forum where any rationally thought out post seems to be shot down with waves of abuse and cynical put downs.

Following on from 4 games on the run where we have played well and come away with points against teams we were expected to lose to, we were always likely to be disappointed with anything but 3 points against a Norwich side that hadn’t won in five games and only once away from home all season. But to lose in the manner we did makes the disappointment greater.

As the autumn wind howled and the cold rain punished the eager crowds, we battled our way through the elements from our regular watering hole amidst the swelling supporters hoping for an end to the frustrating recent run of disappointing results.

Now then,

 The last four times Cardiff have come to the City Ground, they have won.  So, I suppose we should not be surprised.  Forest are a conundrum at the moment.  Rooted to the foot of the table and seemingly unable to beat anyone, yet we are putting out a good team and playing well.  No one wants to go back down to that awful league one.  It sends shivers down my spine just to think of the possibility.

Quite a decent game to watch. Lincoln had a strong team out – including Stephan Oakes, Westwood, David Graham and Gall (ex Carlisle) who was very good for them.

On the 4th anniversary of the death of talismanic Forest cult hero, Brian Clough, I entered the city ground at 2:45 pm expecting a rather more sentimental occasion. Apparently the event had gone either unnoticed, or ignored by most, and this saturday seemed just like any other.

The late great Alfred Wainright, writer and fell-walker, who notably grew up just down the road from Preston’s Deepdale in neighbouring Blackburn, once referred to Football as one of the true pleasures in life. Unfortunately, after three losses in a row, and on the brink of a fourth, such pleasure seemed a long way away for the loyal Forest fans who had taken the trip to Lancashire.

Saturday again produced a somewhat disappointing affair, with Forest failing to gain any points come 5 o’clock. However, it was not the slack defending or even the lack of creativity from the midfield that struck me most, but the overall attendance of the game.

Even under Megson, Forest had a sturdy home record, but yesterday the Reds looked far from any such defensive stability, offering a poor performance at home to Burnley. With Joe Heath stepping in for the injured Julian Bennett at left back, the back four looked younger than ever, and it showed.

It’s 12:30, and I’ve just arrived into Wolverhampton. There is a lightly diffused display of gold shirts, and no red to be seen anywhere around the town. I’m getting more and more excited as the interesting, in the least, one way system delivers me to the train station, and the increasing number of Wolves fans are only outnumbered by the huge police following. Unfortunately for I, Wolverhampton was merely a stopping point for me to drop my brother off on return from holiday, and thus I don’t feel any sense of involvement in the proceedings.
