Nottingham Forest - Preston

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

To be played on Saturday 8th May 2021.

At the World Famous City Ground Nottingham.

Kick Off: 12.30pm.

So the curtain comes down on another season, in all honesty a season to forget.

I am glad it's all over and I am looking forward to the close season to see how we reshape the squad for a push next season. I am expecting the summer to be more interesting and more exciting than some of the football that we have seen on the pitch recently.

Thank god this season is done. What a complete shambles its been. No fans, shit team. The only highlight has been the demise of our neighbours.

Id like to see Dawson get some minutes to give him some kind of a respectful send off, even if there's no fans in.

Will it be the last appearance of Ribs, Worral, Christie, Krov, Garner, Grabban?

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Its been dire hasnt it, the only saving grace being I havent given up half a day to go out to watch yet another bore fest. Really miss seeing people at the ground though, hope we are back at full capacity next year and just maybe playing better football.

As for this game, Im pretty sure most of us will be watching Derby v Sheff Wed wont we?

[Sabricadabra]

The Rotherham games and Derby v Sheff Wed are the ones to watch.

Thank god this season is done. What a complete shambles its been. (No pre-season and Dart Board recruitment.  AND a manager who'd lost his bottle with 6 straight losses.  What could go wrong?) No fans, S**t team. The only highlight has been the demise of our neighbours. (COME ON ROTHERHAM!)

Id like to see Dawson get some minutes to give him some kind of a respectful send off, even if there's no fans in.

Will it be the last appearance of Ribs, Worral, Christie, Krov, Garner, Grabban?  (There's an ominous course of action in Hughton's words when asked if he'd made his mind up already...  We may hang onto Worrall and Grabban.)

Yeah.  *depressed stare looking out into the void.

Derby.  What's with those horrible pink/magenta away tops of their's?

They ought to get relegated for that alone.  And where is their points deduction?

COME ON ROTHERHAM!

It has.  It's showed many things in life up for the pretence they are.  Football has become greed infested.  And the playing of 'fake' noise in lieu of 'real' fans kind of summed up football.  It's boring without fans.  Really boring.

Ironic that a bunch of billionaires and their Super league 6 didn't get that.  Or the back lash.  They've been so busy getting away with pumping and dumping every other market around the world. In their attempt to dismantle our pyramid of merit, they wanted to replace with an elite conclave of greed, they completely misjudged the mood of grass roots supporters in this country. They took an absolute beating at every level of society as fans everywhere unified in condemnation.

I do listen to the radio notts commentary with Fray an' Hodge.  But nothing actually beats being at the City Ground.  The atmosphere.  The passion.  The cultural mix of Forest supporters meandering with purpose on the backstreets on the way to the W.Famous City Ground.

The Mull of Kin'...song before kick off.  The tingles.  The crowd jumping up when we score and 'YEASSHHHHH!!!!'  The jumping around and losing it when we get the winning goal.

Phew.  Careful, SA.  You'll take someone's eye out posting like dat.

Just glad it is over really. A nothing game which will prob be treated as such but the players who are looking forward to getting away for a break.

[Jon Moss]

Wouldn't be against Dawson getting a run out for this one.

[Sabricadabra]

Give Dawson, Mbe Soh and a few academy players a start.

Nothing more any of us would love is youth to be given a chance in the last game mate.. but record speaks for its self, last few games with nothing to play for you would think we would deveolpe soh and mighten into the squad more ready for next season, but yet we stick with starting under performing loan players, hughtons already suggested were not good enough to be a developing club, yet most of the top 6 are?, so sadly iv agreed to give up hope of youngsters getting a chance while hughtons in charge

But which youngsters do we have who are ready to play?

Mighten, Garner and Soh are already in the matchday squad every week.

Who else is there? No point playing people just for the sake of it. They need to be good enough. McGuane is injured, Johnson is at Lincoln and Mighten, Soh and Garner are all involved week in week out.
