Ready diwn about Anderson?
He's sorely missed when he doesn't play us all, I will say.
Hasn't had a rest since he joined us, wether it was under21 or full England, been overused, his big problem is he can't score and is awful at taking set pieces.
But we really need him till end of the season, when he'll move on and we make a nice profit, but then we will need to find a gem again and that won't be easy.
Only way we keep players like him is win Europa League and qualify for Champions League.
So Thursday is very important to win.

RIP Henry Newton, a Forest legend, and a big family man. I believe he was Nottingham bred, so sad to lose another home grown talent.
I also remember hearing his leg break, thought someone's rattle had broken!
Thank you for the memories, Henry!

He wasn't Forest through and through, though, RTK. When he finished playing he was a long time season ticket holder at the Baseball Ground and then down at the newer Sheep Dip. But he was a good servant for us and did make the England squad for Mexico along with Ian Storey-Moore.

Anderson for me reds still puts a shift in physically but just not giving that final performance we pay him for, oi my younguns mate remember. Just being honest. Remember the difference he brought on arrival. And how he was the missing piece to the jigsaw, and we got him for nowt while offloading that daft greek keeper, fetacheese. Another letting me down a little is Aina. Just nothing like he was not so long ago. Love the lads football.
Mgw gotta bit stick from some of ya. I actually thought he was OK. But each to own. Plz plz vote Williams as your player of season. Unsung hero. Puts 110 % into every game. And takes on a shot (properly). Not sure on Jesus these days. His hearts there though. Woods sneaking back in. Always a hero. Cho just so f****** predictable as I keep saying. Murrilo looked f****** gutted. You can see players it hurts. Love that. Obviously rather wouldn't. COYR.

RIP Henry Newton. He played in the first match I ever saw live in 1968. Grummitt, Hindley, Winfield, Hennessey, Mckinley, Newton, Lyons (2 goals), Barnwell, Hindley (1 goal), Baxter, Storey-Moore. Joe Baker and Frank Wignall were injured. The names just roll off the tongue. I could only just see over the wall in front of the old main stand.
I remember being allowed to pass in front of the taller people. As a young teenager I played for Dunkirk cricket club, many years later I was looking through some archive photos and found out that a young Henry Newton also played for them in the early 60s. Small world, eh.

Gazzi, my abiding memory of Henry Newton was a much less happy one, mate. I was near the wall at the corner of the old Main Stand and the Bridgford End as a kid when he went into a tackle and my Dad and I winced as we clearly heard his leg break. Lower leg, I believe.
You can always tell if a player is seriously injured because they don't roll about and look as though they've been shot. Henry just raised his hand, lay still and didn't appear to wince even as they were splinting him up and moving him onto a canvas stretcher.
None of these golf buggies and paramedics with gas, etc.
Hard, tough bloke and was back after several months. Different era.
Had he played for a more "fashionable" club he'd have got many full England caps. Workrate, rugged, aggressive without being sly and play acting, good distribution, kept it simple but effective. Easily as good as Nobby Stiles and Alan Ball.

Different era, different game, but that's still a top 6 team all day long.

Iriola will go to Liverpool or Chelsea imo. Excellent young manager probably the best in the Premier League.

Anyone that goes to Chelsea needs a 6 month rent on a flat in Mayfair, get sacked, and then buy one.

I read that Iriola is being lined up to be the next Athletico Bilbao manager. š³

I think he was a Nottingham lad, perhaps from Bilborough or Aspley, from memory?

Iām confident that we will win our next 3 games and be on 39 pts and in the semi finals of the Europa Cup. Yes, Sunderland away will be a tough test for us, but our recent away form is not bad. We are more than capable of 3 pts there.

Well so much for that! Give Leeds credit for making their own destiny even though I thought Man U would beat them.
Makes you wonder if Man U are in a false position, so maybe Forest can beat them away on 17th May.

Exactly my thoughts. United were awful. I also think the sending off was spot on. He did pull the striker's hair. The so-called pundits say it's not serious foul play - it doesn't matter if it's a split second, it's a red card for violent conduct.
So now it's Forest to win at the Theatre of Dreams again!
COYR.

Disappointed with Leeds' success last night from Forest's point of view. But hats off to them for sticking with Farke. There was a time earlier in the season when he couldn't buy a win.
With Wolves to come on Saturday at home, I anticipate they will be on 39 points with 5 games to go and safe.
Just shows, yet again, what patience and giving a good manager time to work his magic can do.
Mr M, take note... Leeds will do it with a mediocre squad, with very little money spent, but playing with great spirit.
Also a lesson for us against Burnley on Sunday. There are no easy wins in the Prem. If we go in at half cock, like Man Utd did, we will come unstuck. Burnley play a very similar physical game to Leeds, and always give teams a hard time.

Nothing done!!!

Rogie, I remember back in the day, our superb ball playing centre back and captain never had any hair pulling problems either, mate. If I remember rightly, he and his wife had a hairdressing business in Nottm somewhere too. š šāāļø šāāļø šāāļø
Definitely a straight red despite Carrick moaning. It can cause neck and head injuries, and is therefore reckless and dangerous, imo.

Terry Hennessy, of course.

14 Apr 2026 22:46:48
Yep, Stokey, he was way before his time.
Cloughie played him in midfield at Derby, which, to imo, was a waste.
