A vastly improved performance from Reds team with a completely revamped back four, and plenty of muscle throughout the team [...] Read the original post on eighteensixtyfive

Gunts will probably want to forget his assorted misses today! Nottingham Forest 1 Watford 1 It was always going to begin an emotional day the first gathering of the Forest family since we lost our biggest benefactor. Many had like me taken time out pre-match to write in one of [...]

Right, back to business as usual. Sort of. The game will begin with a minute's applause before kick-off and both sides will don black armbands in memory of Reds owner Nigel Doughty who passed away last weekend. Our first action in twelve days thanks to the interventions of weather and our own rubbishness in the cup, one would hope that the players will be eager to proffer a considerable improvement over recent encounters [.

Death holds no favours, death does not discriminate between those who have wasted their lives drinking, taking drugs and smoking. Death comes but once and it is final. Death is unfair. It takes the best and the worst that mankind has to offer and does not discriminate between them. Death cannot distinguish the good from the bad.

It's been a strange few days for Forest fans in the aftermath of the untimely passing of Nigel Doughty. The elements intervening in the weekend's game gave a welcome break from contemplating our on-the-pitch troubles and time for reflection time that many Forest fans have put to good use in raising over £3,000 for ChildLine as a small tribute to the memory of our owner [.

When a man's death is covered so eloquently, thoughtfully and heartfelt by so many when words fail me it's difficult to add anything to what has already been said. Yet it seems wrong to say nothing. At times like this people grasp for meaning; for answers; for reason. There is nothing. Nigel Doughty [.

When I haven't written on this site for a while, I very often end up using the excuse that "real life got in the way". Well it doesn't get much more real life than the passing of a fellow Red [...] Read the original post on eighteensixtyfive

If it wasn't for TV scheduling many of us would be receiving the sad and shocking news of Nigel Doughty's death at the age of 54 as we left Pride Park or awaited the match reaction from our radios. But with no game today most of us would have been enjoying a Saturday afternoon with no football, maybe spending time with family or friends, or just getting odd jobs around the house done [.

It was quite the shock to hear the news that Nigel Doughty had passed away on Radio Nottingham this afternoon. 54 is certainly no age, and my thoughts and condolences go to his family and colleagues [...] Read the original post on Through the seasons before us

Let's face it, the most realistic way we have of seeing out this weekend without another defeat is if the weather forecast comes in at the more severe end of the prediction and we get the game snowed off. Rarely have I been able to muster up less optimism for a trip down Brian Clough Way despite a largely awful time of it contesting matches at Pride Park [.

Seven home games without a goal... Here's hoping the end of the transfer window and a few loans might change things. James Bolton reports from the City Ground. The big news as kick off approached was that youngster Jamaal Lascelles would start in the centre of defence in the absence of Luke Chambers through suspension [.
