R.I.P Dale Roberts - such a waste. Being a Forest Fan & season ticket holder i know how talented he was.
Our season is begining to get momentum. Beating Derby 5-2 after christmas a highlight!!! Unbeaten at home (Stretching 31 games now) and we're starting to pick up wins away now too. Just need to make a couple of quality signings and hopefully we can make a step forward from last seasons playoff failure.
Lets just hope we dont repeat last season where the wheels came off towards the end!
You're right fella, he was a very talented Goalie. A genuinely lovely bloke too, always smiling. Truth be said, he was probably a little too good for us and a move to a league one/league two side was probably not far round the corner for him. Such a tragic story
Ive always had a soft spot for Forest as my uncle used to be a season ticket holder there too in his youth
I used to be a big fan of Kris Commons, but I'm not now
Another lower league fan here - my team's Lincoln City. Born and grew up in the city so they're my team by law and not Chelski, Liverpool or Dubai City!
We're not doing too well at the moment. Third bottom of League 2 but it's only the goal difference that puts us above Hereford and Barnet.
We're regrouping following the recent appointment of ex-Sarfend gaffer Steve Tilson following a woeful year under newbie manager and ex-Blackburn and Celtic striker Chris Sutton.
The weather put paid to all matches in December and we're playing Hereford tomorrow in a FA Cup 2nd round replay on 3rd round weekend as the fixture pile up kicks in.
Very sad about your young keeper Pete. You had our old goalie Alan Marriott there for a bit who I rated as one of the best keepers I've seen play for the Imps in recent years.
Not sure how he fared for your lot and I know he's suffered with injury since going to Mansfield.
Good to see another lower league fan JJ
Marriott is also a very talented goalkeeper. He was solidly number one when we had him and tbh, if he got over his injuries I think we'd have him back in a flash now considering our recent happenings. We're currently playing Joe Day as No.1, a product of our youth system. Good shot stopper, but inexperienced and this shows in his kicking. Always bit of a deep breath when a back pass goes his way
I'm glad Tilson went to you lot cause I was very concerned you were going to pilfer our gaffer, Justin Edinburgh!
I hope you lot stay up for the sake of your financial situation and future, but it would be good to play you lot again sometime soon at the same time.
I assume you always hope sides in our league beat Grimsby?
> Not surprised Hodgsons gone. You don't get time at a club like that. I think it was a bad career move IMO. As said already, he inherited a very average squad. We've seen in the last 3 months that without Gerrard, they struggle hugely. Torres is lost without SG in the side and they can't rely on one player for goals/drive anymore. I don't think Carragher, Reyna and Skrtel really influence like they used to anymore.
