Tonight at 745 pm it’s Nottingham Forest under the lights at Ashton Gate, I reckon it will finish 1-1.

NIgel Pearson, who was born in the Bilborough area of the city and attended what was formerly known as the William Sharp School in Nottingham, will be making changes due to injuries and his assessment of Saturday’s game, after which he said, ‘Now there may be opportunities for other players to come out there and get an appearance this week, we’ll see whether they’re up to it.’ Allegedly, Forest have no new injury concerns after their win over Blackpool at the weekend.

Apparently 1,400 Forest fans will be in attendance. For stay at home supporters it’s on the red button.

Forest are one of many forgotten giants of English football. Even though they have been out of the Premier League for the entire 21st century, Forest were a force to be reckoned with during their heyday in the 70s. During their long and interesting history, they have won one League title, two FA Cups and four League Cups. In addition to their domestic trophies, Forest are one of only two British clubs to claim back-to-back European Cups (in all eight teams have won back-to-back European Cups.)

Their glory years were under the management of Brian Clough who took over the managerial role in 1975. Together with his assistant Peter Taylor, Clough transformed Forest into a competitive club with a penchant for attractive football. Even more impressively, it seemed like Forest became a contender overnight; after winning promotion to the First Division in 1977, they won a double the following year by claiming a League title and defeating Liverpool in the League Cup final.

After retaining the League Cup in 1979, Forest then went all the way in the European Cup beating Malmö FF 1-0 in the final. History repeated itself the very next season, with Forest once again reaching the final, where they defeated Hamburger SV 1-0 on the back of a tremendous performance by goalkeeper Peter Shilton (who was the first football player to make 1,000 League appearances.)

Clough led the club to two more League Cup trophies in 1989 and 1990 before deciding to retire in 1993, thus bringing an end to Forest's glory days. In 1999, the club was relegated to the Championship.

Of the many Cloughie quotes my favourite is “I got home late from a midweek away game and my wife Barbara said to me in bed, 'God, your feet are cold.' I said, 'Barbara, you can call me Brian when we are in bed, dear.'" Closely followed by his advice to a physio who was treating a concussed Stuart Pearce, Physio: ‘Boss he’s concussed and doesn’t know who he is’ Clough: ‘Tell him he’s Pele and that he’s playing up front for the last 10 minutes.’

They’ve fielded some impressive players over the years including, Viv Anderson, Trevor Francis, Des Walker, Martin O'Neill, Archie Gemmill, Peter Shilton, Kenny Burns, Neil Webb, Stuart Pearce and Roy Keane.

Turning to more recent times their final Championship league position have been:

2019-20 7th

2018-19 9th

2017-18 17th

2016- 17 21st

2015-16 16th

They currently are in 16th place with 14 points.

Sometime ago they very much joined the manager merry go-round. Last season they appointed Chris Hughton who lasted just shy of year and managed 14 wins in 53 games. Steve Cooper took up the poisoned chalice last month (when they were bottom of the league) and his first four games have resulted in 3 wins and 1 draw, so he’s certainly enjoyed a decent start, when he arrived they had four points from eight games, since he’s taken over they’ve picked up 10 points. He is the 14th manager they have appointed in the past 10 years, since Billy Davies departed in the summer of 2011. If he continues as he’s started they will be replacing the car park signage!

They are owned by Evangelos Marinakis a 54 year old Greek media mogul, shipowner, lyricist and member of the Piraeus city council. He is the owner of Olympiacos as well as Forest. If you have the appetite take a look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelos_Marinakis for more about him.

Our head-to-head record against them isn’t impressive, we’ve won 22, drawn 33 and lost 41.

Away from football both them and us once had the tobacco industry in common. For younger fans here’s a slice of  history:

Four Forest facts

Samuel Widdowson played for Nottingham Forest in the 1870s and invented football shin pads in 1874.

When Forest beat rivals Derby in the FA Cup final in 1898, they swapped their red shirts for their opponents’ white shirts. This was because the photographer was worried the colour wouldn’t show up.

When Trevor Francis joined Nottingham Forest from Birmingham City for £1 million he became the first multi-million pound footballer.

Former Dr Who Matt Smith (no not the Millwall one) once played for Nottingham Forest’s youth team before the big success on the television. He played alongside Jermaine Jenas at one point, before they both went their separate ways to form a successful career.

COYR.

Myth has it that they also lent Arsenal some of their kit for a match and the Woolwich Arsenal have played in red ever since!

Notts County gave Juventus their kit back in the day hence why the ‘old lady’ play in black and white stripes!  Those Nottingham guys are very charitable!

The gas are quite good at lending their kit out aswell!

Totally agree with you on a win to us. After all it has to happen one day. Congratulations on the birth of your daughter

3 goals at home this season in 6 matches

Pretty obvious where our problem lies

We need some pace and width up front

I think most on here would agree with you. We are not doing too badly though over all. Our position in the league is OK at the moment. Things could go either way over the next three or four matches. A couple of wins a draw and a lose would bring us 7 points out of 12. 

Not withstanding that we know what the issues are up front.

A rejuvenated Forest backed by a noisy following against a pathetic City who can't string two passes together and backed by the Ashton Gate library.  Only one way this is ending and might lead to the first signs of visible disgruntlement among City fans.  We've barely raised a whimper about this home form and this can't go on. An ironic chuckle at the end of every home interview from NP about a failure to yet again win might start to grate.

All I took from that was: easy home win, Massengo hat-trick.

Let’s go for it……. (If HNM/Atkinson avail)

                         Bentley

Tanner.   Kalas.     Atkinson     JD

                James.   Massengo

COD.                 Scott.                  Pring 

                       Weimann 

High press, lots of pace/energy up top with overlapping full backs. Martin needs a rest and Wells still dosnt convince me.

Have we no news or indications of injury situation. 

For what it’s worth the EPs best guess is that HNM will more likely reappear against WBA and then, despite that, they predict this line up: 

Bentley; Tanner, Kalas, Baker, Dasilva; James, Massengo; Wells, Weimann, O'Dowda; Martin

Has been some turnaround for Forest since letting go of Hughton, I don't like to see clubs who do a 180 in results after getting rid of a manager do that well. But definitely a tricky time to be playing them so not confident of ending the winless run. Hoping there will be much more attacking than there was on Saturday, might be a good game to give Alex Scott some more minutes.

I was kind of pointing out the irony of having a username consisting of “Cityloyal” and then writing a note calling City “pathetic”, Ashton Gate a library and saying there was only one way this was ending.

But if irony isn’t your bag, feel free to move on…

Wet and windy, and likely I'll arrive too late for any decent parking to be found, but I'm still excited to see us and finally get down AG after way too long.

There'll be a few hoping your not sitting by them tonight then Ajax !

Tonight will be the night. 3-1 City  Logan Paul Sport GIF by SHOWTIME Sports

Straws and grasping come to mind!

Thought I’d see how Sunderland ended their record breaking period (21 games) without a home win, this is what I discovered…

16/12/2017 Sunderland 1-0 Fulham

Sunderland finally claimed their first home victory of 2017 as 18-year-old Josh Maja’s goal was enough to see off Fulham.

The much maligned Black Cats were close to going a whole calendar year without winning in front of their fans, but an inspired doubled substitution from new boss Chris Coleman turned the tide at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland had not won at home since 17 December 2016, when they beat Watford in the Premier League. There have been signs of improvement since Coleman took over on Wearside and he was desperate to see the 21-match run without a home win – a day short of going a full calendar year without winning on their own turf – come to an end before Christmas.

It appeared they could be frustrated again when good efforts from Lewis Grabban and James Vaughan were saved by Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli.

But five minutes after being brought on for his senior debut, youngster Maja was an instant hero as he found the net on 77 minutes to finally give Sunderland’s beleaguered fans something to cheer about. It was a tidy finish too from the academy graduate and it was enough to lift Sunderland out of the Championship’s bottom three against a Fulham side which had won three of its previous four games.

So in an instant it became clear to me that tonight is the night we win at home, the coincidences are so very clear and obvious ?

1 It’s before Christmas

2 Improvements under a new manager are evident

3 Our opponents have won three of their previous four games

4 Lewis Grabban is involved tonight as he was then

5 Watford get a mention and recently a hat-trick from Ayman Benarous inspired City’s Under-23s to victory over Watford Under-23s in the Professional Development League 2.

Clearly NP will be aware of all this ? and will have young Ayman on the bench tonight who will be raring to make his debut and will score the winner within five minutes of coming into the game.

Remember, you heard it here first!

It really does seem a long time ago, because our last home win was in an empty stadium.

Was it really back in Jan 2020 when we last won in front of an Ashton Gate crowd?

On the theme of lucky items being brought...I'm bringing my lucky Dad. He's been to AG all of 5 times and has seen 3 home wins and 2 draws.
