Official now. He's expected back soon though.
We pay him £25k per week and he sods off home after a month or two?

I would not be surprised if Derby don't have a player making £25k p/w. Either way he won't be paid whilst AWL.

£25k per week by all accounts. It's a huge risk. That is from several different sources, all stating the same thing.

Until we equalised I thought we were poor. We didn't get going til Tyson came on when he was able to stretch the field.
Real stupid sending off for them. Clever play by Chambers to allow himself to be rag-dolled rather than retaliate. After that we played well and opened them up at will.
Quite a few boo boys there who are on Smith's back amongst others. A lot of frustration amongst the regulars and only winning will ease it off. We may be better away therefore.
I'd like to see Comons try to get don the left more and more service to Davies on the right. Otherwise the formation won't work.
Turned out to be a great evening and fun banter with the Southen crowd.

I disagree sunbeam. The idiots were booing and getting on their backs as per usual but we were playing patient, passing football. The goal was only a matter of time.
There was too much service to Commons down the left and no way near enough for Davies. It's nice to have the option on both wings again, but let's try and use it yeh?

Preoblem down the left is that KC hasn't got the pace and so Benny is putting in all the crosses. I agree that too many fans want us to rush and hit it long and these will be the same who whinge about long-ball football.

Commons has got a more than decent amount of pace, he shows it when he can be bothered.
Bennett has got a remarkably good cross on him. Unfortunately, it's just about the only part of his game that is any good.

£17 to watch Forest v Lincoln! I was thinking about going to that game, but not for that price. What a rip off.

I suspect Lincoln have forced the price up. 6,000 at £17 or 10,000 at £10 is pretty much the same. This way all the noise will come from LINC fans so we have no HFA.

Beat Luton and it's Liverpool. Suddenly the FA Cup got back some meaning.

Absolute rubbish, total utter rubbish.
Chambers and Lockwood were Ok, the rest were shocking and Breckin was an embarrassment to himself and to the club. We looked clueless with no idea how to break down a packed Walsall defence.
The sad fact was they never looked like scoring in a million years until we presented them a goal on a plate with a woeful back header from Clingan. They didn't look like scoring after either, unfortunately we never even got close to bagging one, Clayton Ince didn't have a single save to make, he caught the ball twice and the remainder of his involvement was goal kicks, he could have sat by the post with a cigar on.
Calderwood had no idea what to do, it was a complete joke.
All that said, it was Walsall so we had to lose, the unwritten rules of football, Forest lose to Walsall. We haven't beaten them since the turn of the century, the first couple of months of 2000. It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't total garbage. But they are. A shocking night.

Why did you go Andy? Forest aren't allowed to beat Walsall.
They also made sure of defeat by spouting the usual pre game rubbish in the Post.

And CC had just won Manager of the Month. Guarantee loss.
Swansea and Leeds for automatic?

Leeds, Swansea always choke.
Manager of the month AND Walsall away, uber-guaranteed loss. Not particularily bothered, you can't argue with fate. Bring on the queens.

Every day there's another back page in the POST with some Red or other saying what Forest are going to do. Today it's Perch's time. Lockwood, Tyson, Commons, Chambers..........
Enough. Shut up and do it on the pitch. They relationship between the Reds and POST is reaching Mick Holland proportions.

It wouldn't be so laughable if Forest hadn't just lost to Walsall.

Why does it sting so much Mark? We always lose to that shower, i even made some money out of it. This season was always going to require Forest to get as many points from 44 games as everyone else does in 46.

Forest are rubbish, another defeat to Luton to blow the chance of the game with Liverpool. Why are Forest incapable of beating terrible teams, no stomach for the fight if you ask me, seem to be slipping back to the "we're too good to be made to play you, get out of the way and let us play Liverpool" attitude again, it'll be our undoing come the seasons end.
Shameful. Calderwood really is a chump, can we have a proper manager who knows what he's doing and can motivate players? I know we're 3rd in the league but seriously, it's despite him rather than because of him. Maybe we can get lucky like we did with Platt and they'll give the bafoon the Scotland job.

No knee jerk here Dan, I was there last Tuesday with the shocker at the Bescot, I listened tonight, I was there the first day of the season when we couldn't find a way past an appalling Bournemouth team. The fare that I have seen this year has been shocking and Calderwood hasn't convinced me the whole time he's been in the job. He flatters to deceive and has done ever since he walked in the door, if the 2nd leg of last years play offs didn't paint the grim picture for all to see then the things I have personally seen this season have done.
