I do not know a lot about D1 football as it is hard to see it in America, but I have been reading and watching highlights and I have taken a liking to Nottingham Forest. What is it that this team needs to do to get to the top of D1? If memory serves me correctly, big things were expected out of this team this year, but it did not happen. What were the causes of the poor season for Forest?

many things happend last season that you could say contributed to our bad season. Paul Hart let many of our best player leave, what he brought in as replacement's never performed, then he refused to change his tactic's from playing the diamond formation, other teams just swamped the midfield & shut us down, the main reason you could argue was David Johnson breaking his leg, he missed most of the season, even when he came back at 80% he was scoring every week. His goals were missed, we went from Dec 6th to mid Feb without scoring a goal yet still finish with a positive goal differance. Next season we will be back in the mix, if your a betting man put your money on Forest going up, Big Fat Joe as turned things around & Forest are looking good.

Well- Last year is last year. We survived, improved the team, and have started moving in a positive direction. JK is definitely the man for the job, I think if they can hang on to a few of their core players JK can move them into contention to make it back to the EPL.
I would really like to see Riordan (young strker from Hiberian) move south to City Ground. If not I am sure JK will mold this group into a competitive bunch.
Now comes the time of year I loath, the wait for a new season, at least there is the Euro 2004 to watch, but after the fourth, comes what my family has come to know as the mad month, where all things are possible and everybody is transferrable. I hope you continue to back Forest, they are coming to the states this summer.

RFK vs DC United on Wed, July 14th - just a friendly - probably not televised outside the DC market area

Forest need the Chairman to support the manager properly. He failed to back Hart by allowing our best players leave before the start of last season.

Now Kinnear is in the job and Doughty better do his job and open the purse strings....

FAO all American readers.

Ignore this man. He knows absolutely nothing about Forest nor their finances. Nigel Doughty (the Forest chairman) pumped in 6.5 million pounds last season alone. That doesnt sound like the spending of a tight-wallet does it? The season before he pumped in 6 million and the season before that 5.

Im amazed that despite all the facts proving otherwise, you still carry on with this ridiculous argument.

Doughty is the best thing to happen to Forest for a long time. Without his cash Forest would have been in Administration or even been made bankrupt...
