April Results:

Bristol City 1 (Clarkson) - Forest 3 (Blackstock 3) - Great away win against league winners

Forest 1 (Blackstock) - Cardiff 1 (Rae) - Conceded 93rd minute equaliser!

Forest 3 (Earnshaw 2 & Djordjic) - Ipswich 1 (Priskin) - Good win against playoff hopefuls

Blackpool 0 - Forest 3 (Earnshaw, Cohen & Garner) - Great away win

Forest 4 (Blackstock, Earnshaw 2 & Camara) - Plymouth 1 (Johannson) - Another good win towards end of season.

Currently 2nd - 2 points clear of West Brom with one game to go - West Brom have the better GD so need to win to guarantee promotion.
 
May Result:

Scunthorpe 0 - Forest 2 - (Barazite & Garner) - Win secures promotion!!!!!

West Brom Lose 2-0 away to Barnsley so would have gone up anyway!

September Results:

Manchester City 3 (Barry & Santa Cruz 2) Forest 2 (Van Nistlerooy & Blackstock) - Decent Performance but not enough quality

Forest 0 - Everton 1 (Cahill) - Poor game never looked liked scoring.

Liverpool 3 (Riera, Vorinin & Skrtel) - Forest 0 - Again poor performance.

October Results:

Forest 2 (Van Nistlerooy 2) - Bolton 1 (Miller) - Good home win against struggling Bolton

West Ham 0 - Forest 2 (Blackstock & Mulgrew) - A blinding free kick from mulgrew - 30 yards out surely a goal of season contender! Good win & first clean sheet.

Arsenal 3 (Rakitik , Denilson & Eduardo) - Forest 0 - Wasnt expecting anything from this game!

Forest 0 - Sunderland 3 (Catermole, Bent & Campbell) - Lacklustre performance.

Knocked out of Carling Cup after 5-2 defeat away to Aston Villa - time to concentrate on league survival!
 
November Results:

Forest 3 (Blackstock & Van Nistlerooy 2) - Hull City 1 (Fagan) Great start to month

Stoke 3 (Soares, Loovens & Hinginbotham) - Forest 1 (Van Nistlerooy) - Defeat to solid Stoke

Forest 1 (Van Nistlerooy) - Bristol City 0 - Good to beat relegation rivals

Chelsea 2 (Drogba & Terry) - Forest 1 (Van Nistlerooy) - Good performance against title challengers.

Move up the table to 13th - But only 3 points above relegation zone. Have been drawn against Oxford United at home in FA Cup 3rd round.

Forest 0 - Blackburn 0 - Battling draw

Forest 2 (Van Nistlerooy 2) - West Brom 0 - Good win against bottom side

February Results:

Tottenham 3 (Defoe & Crouch 2) - Forest 0

Sunderland 2 (Geovanni & Campbell) - Forest 0

Forest 0 - West Ham 0 - Didn't score all month but at least kept a clean sheet.

Gap between bottom 3 is now only 4 points. Hoping that team starts scoring again. Think rely too much on van Nistlerooy, who has already bagged 20 this season.
 
Following now :) Seems as though your teams on the mend now , and some really some good signings there.Who's better in your opinion though Prince Buaben or Hedgwiges Maduro as I am looking at them both for my DM position at Newcastle.
 
Buaben is a solid championship player in my opinion. Not sure how much better he gets as only in 2nd season and sometimes struggles against better premiership opposition. Depends how much you have to spend if you have a couple million spare would go for Maduro definitely. Bauben only cost me 800K depends on your game I guess. How you doing with Newcastle?

March Results:

Forest 1 (van Nistlerooy) - Arsenal 3 (Vela 2 & Wheater) - Never expected to get a result here.

Hull 4 (Ghilas, Hunt, Zayette & Mulgrew o.g ) - Forest 4 (van Nistlerooy 2, Petrov & Maduro) - Cracking bottom of the basement match - a real 6 pointer where should have won the game. Least we scored a 92nd
minute equaliser!!!!

Forest 0 - Stoke City 0 - A stalemate that never really got going.

Finish March with 6 games left 3 points above the drop and here is who I hve left to play:

Blackburn (a) - 18th
Bristol City (a) - 19th
Chelsea (h) - 4th
Portsmouth (h) - 20th
Wolves - (a) - 12th
West Brom - (a) - 15th

If I cant get at least 2 wins and a couple of draws from these games then don't deserve to stay up! CMON U REDSSS!!!!
