It is David Craig!

There see, being positive.

Here we go again, am i the only one on N.O. who thinks things are better than they were last season? Yes i know they couln't get worse. I'm trying to look at some of the positives so far this season. For one, the quality of the opposition is poor, therefore with a reasonable bit of luck we should have a good chance of going straight back up. The back 4, although shaky at times, doesn't look as if it will concede many. In Enrique we have a quality left back defensively( though his distribution could be better) Taylor and Collocini look effective together. R.Taylor is competent at left back In Midfield, Smith has been a revelation as the defensive lynchpin. In my opinion Nolan is an effective attacking midfielder. Carroll will cause many more problems to other teams defences. Ranger will improve with each game. I'm not convinced with Harper or Krull but they will have to do. We desperately need some wide players and a creative central midfielder. THERE!!! That's showing POSITIVITY NOW with a bit of luck on the injury front and the FB gets assassinated, there's something to look forward to for the remaining of the season.

WE WERE RELEGATED. Of course we should see an improvement, Jesus wept. Have Middlesbrough improved? I don't think so, so relegation doesn't automatically mean improvement. Oh deary me, he's actually deadly serious too. Put it this way, if we were still in the Premier League now the improvement would be so great that we'd still be getting beat week after week. Yeah we've had a good start but people are clearly getting carried away. Of course i'm serious, and who's getting carried away. We havn't played that well all season and have been lucky to get some of the results we have. But try and be positive instead of constantly griping. Yeah sorry I constantly gripe, I'm not sure why I'm so negative about an absolutely magnificent performance. We were truly unlucky that our dynamic midfield and s*** hot strikers didn't blow them away. It's similar to the last couple of games, that's why we're still well clear of West Brom despite dropping points today. The glass is truly half full. I'm not getting at just you, but all the negativity surrounding our result. It's on the pitch and not the boardroom where there's light at the end of the tunnel.

I don't know why you lot bother to watch matches, all you can come up with is constant criticism. We deserved all the flak last 2 seasons but there are a lot of positives coming out of this season. Just open your eyes and try and see, and perhaps give some players a bit of credit. I've been a Nolan critic all last season but he has been our only midfield player, consistently likely to score or provide goalscoring opportunities.

Well things must look completely different live, cos i could have sworn we had loads of shots blocked by good defending, a goal disallowed (havn't seen it yet), frantic last ditch tackles and generally panic defending by Forest for the whole of the second half. There may not have been many clear cut chances, but it wasn't for the want of trying. How can you say Nolan was crap, he was everywhere today. The end product may not have happened, but he was our most likely creator.

Honestly, you must be blind. First half we played some of the worst football I've ever seen us play and we couldn't complain if we went in 4-0 at the break. Did you not watch the drivel we've produced over the last 2 years. Compared to that our first half was efficient, and effective (Till the 45th minute). It may not have been pretty, but they didn't create many chances. Liverpool, Man Utd ring a bell???

I admire your faith mate I also admire his deluded nonsense Ranger and Carroll up front, aye, we've all seen how well that one works. So who would you play up front, with our huge squad ??

Just got back from the game (live in Nottingham, so its a home game for me) I cannot believe the S*** you lot are giving. First half, we coped easily with what they threw at us. A couple of chances and a post. Their goal came from the one occasion the two centre backs lost their player. Second half, we camped in their half. it's difficult to break down a team who play 11 at the back and don't venture over the half way line. Smith was superb again. the back 4 did their job(except on one occasion). Nolan was industrious, but Guthrie is not a wide midfielder. Lovencrands should never play again, and Ranger should be ahead of Harewood in the pecking order as Harewood was atrocious all game. Jonas provided plenty of running without the usual end product. Oh and the support was unbelievable!!!!! You cannot moan at the lack of effort, on another day it could easily have been 4.

Don't know what game you lot were watching, is it different on the telly. Carroll was by far our most threatening striker. remember the service from wide was non existent Harewood is the one you want to crucify. Never held up play, no pace and couldn't win a ball in the air all game. Give carroll some credit.

Scored a cracker against Sunderland in the 60's, so he'll be for ever remembered by the older generation.

Nottingham

You're not kidding.....................I'm on holiday on tuesday and going straight to the match from this. Apparently there's a direct line to the box office for queries about season tickets.................and another statement saying anyone who has paid for a season ticket WILL get to the BOLTON game. What's the bet they will issue me with a paper ticket, that's if i can get an answer from the Box Office. That might mean i have to go to the box office to pick up my ticket on Saturday. I'd assume the box office is open on match day? Should be an interesting week!!!

oh i remember now, god that was awful........summed up the season i suppose!!

Glad to see it back.....................but what did we use last season, it all seems a blur. Can someone remind me?

Do the honours Shearergol! Knew I'd regret saying that. Aye, well volunteered. I don't mind setting it up to be honest, just need a decent group name! The Yorkshire/Lincolnshire NUFC Supporters Group? Don't forget Notts. The Yorkshire/Lincolnshire/Nottinghamshire NUFC Supporters Group?

As i said previously i get the Train from Doncaster, and there's always loads of Supporters getting on there. Sometimes i get the Train from Newark and i know there's a few who also get on there. A section would be a good idea, perhaps a number of Coaches from various areas may be possible or at least, as suggested by SHEARERGOL, Car Sharing.

Interesting detour from the M62 at Hull tbh . Drive to Scunny rather than Donny and we might be able to sort something. That's a possibility, mind you ASH looks like he's going halfway round Lincs and Yorkshire to get to Newcastle.........There must be a limit to how many places the Coach will visit.

I drive from Nottingham to Doncaster and pick up the Train at Donny. If the Coach were to detour to Donny via the M18, i'd be interested.

I work in Mansfield, they've spent years trying to get rid of the chairman HASLAM, i'm sure they would rather have him than change their name.................I'm back to work on Monday so it'll be interesting to hear the Crak?

It might have been BODY HEAT run by Sally Gunnell and Jeremy Guscott.

David Beckham is 1 of only 3 sportsmen/women who have completed the "BLEEP TEST" (If you can remember doing it in your schooldays). As this tests both Aerobic and Anaerobic fitness, i suggest most Professionals are extremely cardiovascular fit.

From Newcastle. Now living near Nottingham. By the way RICHO, i thought i was the only one from this area. WHERE are you living. I drive to Doncaster, park me car and get the train up for Home matches. There's lots of support from Doncaster waiting on the platform. Quite a few from York and Bloody hundreds from Darlington.
