He blows hot and cold - sometimes he hasn't a clue. We miss him though!

I think we're cursed when it comes to matches on TV! As much as I like watching Forest on TV we always seem to play badly :(

Shocking performance, it looked as though they just weren't trying, I can't even pick out one player who wasn't utter rubbish...apart from maybe Smith, who you couldn't fault for any of the goals, but he didn't do much either...

I'd like to say it's all down to the players who were missing, but we've made do wiothot Tyson for most of the season, Agogo hasn't really settled in yet and Clingan doesn't look half the player he does for Northern Ireland...

I'm hoping it was just a bad day and they'll bounce back. It would be nice if we could put on a decent performance in a televised match for once though...

Nope!

We were poor I watched the whole match on Sky and we were ripped apart and deserved to lose and probably by the margin we lost by in the end :(

4-0... not good for you Nott Forest fans. Last goal that scunthorpe scored was definately offside! Saw the last 5 minutes in the Mem bar.

Hope that Southend get their planning permission - the Gas are after a large stadium (combined with the Bristol Rugby Club) which will have flats, hotels, malls and god knows what else. But I guess the Conference needs good stadiums...

Well, we won, but the ref really tried his hardest to stop the win. Awful - Let's just say "12 man Boston". Think that sums it up. One goal disallowed from a free kick because the ref didn't blow his whistle (we got yellow carded for it), but then we got booked for not taking the free kicks after that - arguing the fact we were booked for not waiting for the whistle. The crowd were really restless as the whistle signified we'd done something wrong - even if we the victims.

The ref had to send off a Boston player, but I think from then it was 11 against 11.

1-0, but I'm happy!

Or not as it turned out :(

Yep, definetly a good Saturday...

Forest are on Sky tomorrow dinner :D followed by England at 5 :D can't be bad!

Ooooooooooooooooh, Southend have submitted their plans to the borough council for planning permission to build their long awaited 22000 seater stadium.
I was thinking that I would like it to keep its closeness to the pitch and have some personality about it. I've seen a couple of newish type grounds and they seemed to be a sort of concrete copy of each other with only the name and location of the ground being different.

Anyway, looks like they were reading my mind...
Its been designed by the same architects that did the Emirates stadium. The artists impressions look great, its certainly unique looking.
I'm not sure if the pictures on Club site are viewable to all
but there are a few little thumbnails on Echo articles if anyone is interested.

Certainly an ambitious plan for a stadium twice our current capacity with a hotel and restaurants and other developments on site.

Good for Agogo getting International duty. He was ust left out of the Ghana line up for the world cup.

Agogo's agent has been suspended though - he's done a lot of sly work.

Boston Saturday , but they're struggling, so maybe a win?
