450 minutes and not a single goal, even with injuries that's poor. Is Calderwood up to the job? 300 mins and we're thru to play LEIC in the next round of the CC. It's been a decent start to the season though naturally we need to start winning now. Hopefully we'll win against Leeds and play well, which will erase the feelings of panic and OTT negativity from some quarters...

The team have played five games on the trot without scoring, not a statistic to be proud of. Granted injuries are hurting the team but there seems little change from last season, although the clean sheets are welcome. My point is everybody seems to think Forest have the playing personnel to gain promotion from this league, therefore it's fair to ask if the manager has the nous to achieve this. I haven't an opinion either way, yet, but Forest must start scoring or a lack of goals will become a real monkey on their backs.

I'd agree about the goal scoring thing but that'll come when the strikers are fully fit which I don't think they are at present. I wasn't having a go specificially at you chap either, more a general view of fans I've spoken too. A win on saturday will be great.

I'd agree about the strikers. It seems Holt and Agogo were rushed back not fully fit and a point at Swansea in other circumstances would be an excellent result.
I think they are also missing a bit of creativity in midfield, hopefully Davis will provide this when he recovers from injury.

You played as the better side today, but lost to Leeds United! Those last minute goals are coming in very handy!

Manager was happy with the second half performance. He thought it the best 45 minutes so far this season by Forest.
How bad are we?
If, as some are saying, all Forest need is a striker then Calderwood needs to stop poncing around and get one signed.

For any non-league followers, Hucknall Town haven''t exactly had a great start to the season either. Four games, four defeats.

For any non-league followers, Hucknall Town haven''t exactly had a great start to the season either. Four games, four defeats. Tell me about it! Having just moved/about to move to Hucknall, I thought I would start watching the local team. They really do seem to be struggling, & can only seemingly play well as a TEAM for about 20 minutes during the whole game. Yes I know it's a different level of football, but at times (Judging by the couple of games I have seen) it's like watching primary school kids all chase, follow, & huddle round a ball. As regards the club itself (Hucknall) it's a highly enjoyable way to get your 'footy fix'. Nice little ground, cracking little atmosphere, & ya can pop into the bar/club house at half time. Although, I was shocked the 1st time I went & discovered it was £9.00 to watch them! I'll still be there next Saturday - to watch 'em take on the mighty Workington.. Anyway....back on topic.

Does David Johnson still play for Hucknall?
I went yesterday I thought the first half Forest were Dyer. Second half much improved performance, I can't belive how bad Wes Morgan was he had poor game IMO lost his man to easily, I was impressed with Chambers and Wilson, I also thought Sammy Clingan was impressive on the right wing, put in a few decent crosses, I thought Grant Holt was balls, never did much although Agogo was impressive.

No, he had to retire. The only good thing about Forest not winning a league game this season is that they have not got a lead over the others like they had a 7 point last year, and blew it.

I feel a bit sorry for CC as he's missing many of his signings. Still, I give him two more games to turn it around. If he can't then we go for the best man available... somebody who would get us up for sure...
Neal Warnock.

Wish the player well, lets hope its not another case of a player being pushed to much like the tragic Sevilla player. There's a worrying trend developing and something needs to be done sooner rather than later.
On a forest note. I heard from a forest fan that a Mr O'Leary haas been seen floating arounf the City Ground and it wasnt in connection with the leeds game.

I read on the BBC that Clarke had a double heart failure but was saved by the actions of the medical staff. Scary stuff, I hope he comes out and makes a full recovery.

One of the paramedics who treated him said mouth to mouth hadn't worked, and it took them four goes with a defibrillator to re-start his heart.
Serious, scary situation, and there's no doubt in my mind that it was right to abandon the match.

Glad to hear the guy is alright as it was disturbing listening to the radio last night. Does anyone know what'll happen reference the fixture however? I guess they'll just replay it?!
