Forest 0-2 Barnsley

Well bang goes our 'proud' home record, and didn't we do it in style. The performance tonight form the Reds was pathetic and was more akin to their usual ineffectual away performances.
I didn't bother going to this one, mainly due to SKY bloody TV deciding Friday night football is a great idea and being unable to leave work early enough I decided battling with the traffic on the M1 on a Friday night wouldn't be much fun and I'd probably struggle to get there in time, it must be one of the first times in ages I've actually watched a home game on the TV rather than at the ground itself and it just didn't feel right. The game may have been awful but I'd still rather be there than watching it in the sanitised atmosphere of a pub. Finding the pub was the hard part, not many round here were showing the game (and who can blame them, they want to try and keep their customers in the place after all).
Strangely enough, I didn't get any abuse once people found out I was a Forest fan, they didn't even start rolling around on the floor laughing. Just looked at me with pity and gave me the 'Never mind lad it'll pick up for your lot soon!' etc. etc.

I haven't got much to say about the game itself, apart from we were completely clueless, ten minutes into the second half I turned away from the TV and concentrated on getting some serious drinking done instead to try and numb the pain, with the odd glance back at the screen to see if things had improved any, they didn't and I spent the whole of Saturday nursing one hell of a hangover.

So what's the way forward now? I really don't know. Megson is staying, of that there is no doubt. The players seem to lack the motivation or desire to do anything for the club and the fans are turning on each other. Everything at the moment points to a long, long stay in this crappy little division and to be honest we deserve to be there. everyone's looking to our forthcoming away game at Franchise FC to be the much needed away win that may get us going but at the moment I can't see it happening and as the top of the table drifts further and further away, the foot looms ever closer.

NO HOPE, NO FUTURE. NFFC R.I.P.

Where the hell do we go from here?

Well its been about 2 months since my last post, for various reasons I just haven't got round to updating my blog regularly. Some of which involves being too busy at work but mainly because how often can I regurgitate the same stuff week after week. But hey ho my new years resolution is actually to update this damn thing on a regular basis, nah not really I don't do New Year's resolutions. Mainly because I don't like to let people down, least of all myself (but I will endavour to actually log on and spout my normal bile about the disgrace that is the current crop of useless bastards in the Garibaldi)!

Since my last post results haven't been that good, a one all draw at Bournemouth, a two nil win at Weymouth in the FA cup (when the world and his wife turned up hoping to see us humiliated), a two nil win at home to Sothend followed by another loss away from home (two one to Huddersfield). We then went to Chester in the second round of the FA cup and got humiliated three nil, an absolute disgrace for the Trickies and meant we would not be in the Third round of the cup for the first time in fifty odd years!! We followed this up with a 0ne nil win over Port Vale, a game in which we actually played quite well and deserved more than the one goal to show for our efforts, unfortunately in the next game we reverted to type drawing one one at home to Walsall, who spent the best part of an hour with only ten men yet we still didn't attacke them!! A three one loss at Scunthorpe was followed by a four nil win over Doncaster, how we won four nil I do not know, Donny were all over us but somehow we managed to destroy them! We then drew nil nil at home to Chesterfield and most recently lost three one at Colchester (after levelling the game at one all in the nintieth minute).
So new year same old shite, up until now I've been in the camp that says we should stick with Megson, there's been far too many managerial changes down at the city ground recently and we need some stability. But enough is enough, the football on diaplsy is depressing, on paper we have a team that is more than capable of runnign away with this league but we aren't and at the end of the day that has to be the managers responsibility. Enough is enough MEGSON OUT!!!!
