havanatopia Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Well folks, I thought I would give this a go inspite of feeling rather miffed with football. I would say we are all feeling the blues. I suspect a fair number of us over 45ers can remember the day we got a result in the cup at the City ground. I am saying this from pure memory. The most vivid part of the trip north was when we scored, someone help me out and say who - Barnard?, I was at the front of the long stand. I jumped for joy ripping a 6' gash in my new green cords. Plus a bit of blood later I recovered my sense of balance and thought for a while we were invincible. Not felt that way until we were promoted with Stevie C to be fair. Or perhaps for a smidgeon when Korey got that goal v Man U. An away win bizarrely puts us back, sort of, into the mix. I shall not wait up but look forward to reading this forum match day tomorrow post by post and feel the anticipation, the glory, the dullness.... Shall I end there?. Night all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsham Ed Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 A fantastic night. I can still recall to this very day the Forest fans giving it large. When Mardon scored, it was awesome. I have to say that night we were brilliant and you had to feel for John Pender. All in all, it was brilliant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Was living in Tamworth at the time and got to say all my Brummie mates were massively impressed by our following that night. They couldn’t believe we had the side as well as the away section terrace. Up there with best atmosphere with City away. Ashby was fun too! Still remember that Mardon goal and the Walshy shuffles on the wing. Match was shown on Central TV and still have the video. Happy days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I remember it poured down and my precious souvenir match day programme was soggier than an incontinent’s underpants .

Dan Robin Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) I bet O'Dowda will open the score with a bicycle kick and Williams will make it 0-2 with a header from midfield.

It looks like either Afobe in on the left again in a front three, or Weimann and COD will be on the wings in a four-man midfield. Either way, more square pegs in round holes.

LondonBristolian Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 On a rare positive note, what I do like about players like Moore and Vyner when they get a chance in the team is that they don't hide away and leave things to the senior players. Vyner seems keen to be involved in everything and is stepping up for free kicks, throws etc. I like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look that structured but we're pressing high and Afobe, Dasilva and even COD are looking adequately aroused. Afobe drifting centrally at times.
