Personally, I thought Walker was a MOTM contender again, along with Adel (again). And Gorkss deserves a mention in despatches for keeping Parkin quiet, and don’t snigger, as any player who has scored 7 goals in a team bottom of the league, must be doing something right. The form book wasn’t upset today with North Continue reading

Attendance: 22, 859 (2,076 R’s fans) The minute’s silence was impeccably observed of course and joining the players and officials were S/Sgt David Lafferty of the Royal Engineers and former Forest player, 91 Continue reading

Team: Kenny, Hill, Walker, Gorkss, Connolly, Derry (Clarke), Taarabt (Borrowdale), Faurlin, Mackie, Smith, Hulse (Agyemang). Subs Not Used: Cerny, Rowlands, Ephraim, Andrade. Attendance: 17,818 Well that was a draw that felt like a win. On a cold and blustery night by the sea, we really had to dig in to get anything from that game. Continue reading

For the second time running, this fixture produced arguing points by the shed load, mostly about the ref’s performance or lack of it, plenty of goals and a master class by Messrs Faurlin and Taarabt. Warnock was forced into replacing the injured Clint Hill with Bradley Orr returning to take up his right-back berth while Continue reading

QPR’s record breaking unbeaten start continued at a wet W12 as Burnley came to town having lost heroically at Villa Park midweek, and followed a 4-0 thumping at home to Reading last weekend. Neil Warnock was forced into changing the line-up from last week’s draw at Ashton Gate after Heidar Helguson failed a fitness test. Continue reading

Team: Kenny, Hill, Walker, Gorkss, Connolly, Derry, Taarabt (Smith), Faurlin, Mackie, Ephraim (Clarke), Helguson (Agyemang). Subs Not Used: Cerny, Orr, Hall, Mahon. Attendance: 16,742 (470 R’s fans) Having spent far too long to get to a ground that is only three or four miles from my current home, due to Swansea’s utterly ridiculous road and Continue reading

Team: Kenny, Hill, Walker, Connolly, Gorkss, Derry, Taarabt (Smith), Buzsaky (Leigertwood), Mackie, Ephraim (Agyemang), Helguson. Subs Not Used: Cerny, Orr, Faurlin, Clarke. Attendance: 18,059 (including 3,122 Norwich fans) It was a frustrating game although we started brightly and full of confidence. No doubt, it was a loss to lose Buzsaky, but Leigertwood to replace him Continue reading

Strange how the walk back to Thornton Heath in the pouring rain after didn’t feel so arduous as expected, when Palace had seemingly nicked a point right at the death. I was almost skipping at one point with a grin like the Cheshire Cats’ in Alices’ Adventures. And that obviously was due to Heidar Helguson’s Continue reading

Attendance: 15,325 (including 2,490 visitors). The stats reveal that we had 60% of the possession and despite chances for both sides, this encounter will be remembered mainly for the trouble, before, Continue reading
