Another year, another crap November. Historically, Jones gets over his Winter Boues are we do well in December.

If we don't beat Preston on Saturday then we are on a proper bad run. Sounds like we weren't great in the 2nd half and for some reason Jones is gving Kuomas more and more time on the pitch despite him doing nothing game after game.

It's a decent game at Carrow Road. I'm surprised Holt wasn't red carded right at the start and the sending off for Ipswich was fairly harsh considering there was a defender close by. Norwich should be at least four goals clear though. It's good to see a full stadium too.

Plymouth have just loaned Rory Fallon to Ipswich and he's on the bench but I doubt he'll get on.

I thought it was a straight red for him and the Ipswich defender who grabbed hold of him. Good reffing to try and keep 11 on the pitch though.

The sending off was harsh, but the defender was the one dumb enough to make the mistake, not the ref.

I always thought holt was decent for us. He was top scorer and player of the season at one point.

Unfortunately that bufoon calderwood inexplicably decided to play him on the left wing, or play the likes of spencer weir daley and craig westcarr instead (i think).

I was very dissappointed when we sold him.

It's the El Clasico tonight, Leicester City vs. Nottingham Forest. Come on you Trees. Aaron Ramsey to score twelve goals.

Does that make Barca vs Real the Less Important East Midlands Derby?

I don't think Ramsey will be able to play more than the last 20 minutes, so just the four goals from him.

Do you think keane will get much longer?

Well, today marks the anniversary of him walking out on Sunderland, and he hasn't done that. His comments today - "I can turn it around, but it takes time and I don't know if I will get it" - seem to suggest he won't get much longer. If we go out of the Cup and lose heavily to Swansea, then I can see the axe falling.

Eurgh, Forest look pretty toothless today. Doesn't help that Adebola and Earnshaw have missed sitters. The usual away performance from us then. Leicester were probably good for their goal, but I'll say now that none of those penalty shouts were penalties.

As I type, we're brining on Nathan Tyson. We're doomed.

There's only one Welshman who's going to score tonight and that's Andy King.

Hark at Mystic Meg.

Leicester played decent tonight and 1-0 flattered us, Forest were just gash. Billy's as much to blame for only playing one up front again away, and again for thinking Earnie on his own up front can do anything. Then there's keeping Raddy on the bench when Anderson gives nothing going forward. I don't get it, and Billy certainly doesn't get it.

Fair result I think. Leicester were the better of the two teams, seemed to have a bit more in midfield than Forest did. Should probably have had another goal, but Forest were unlucky not to get one either, couple of decent saves from Weale. Stream I was watching kept dropping which was a bit annoying as I missed the goal, but I said only one Welshman would score tonight :)

That was a terrible, terrible game. Forest were atrocious, leicester were only marginally less atrocious and deserved to win.

Moussi again proved why we cant afford to carry him for his 1 good game out of every 10 or so, I know you think im picking on him tricky :P

In fairness, everyone was poor, I forgot ando was even on the pitch until around the 65th minute when I saw him in the background.

Chris Cohen was the only highlight for me, but not because he was good- just because he repeatedly knocked people over.

That wellens for leicester kept diving, which was also hillarious.

I think what dissappointed me the most, was that it was a local derby and forest just looked completely disinterested. They couldnt raise their game for the bin robbers, and it worries me ahead of derby.

As I type, we're brining on Nathan Tyson. We're doomed.

I burst into laughter when he came on. He is just a totally ineffective player, who has a reputation for terrifying defences- but never actually seems to do anything with it.

But hes great at putting the ball out of play.

He's fast, just useless. Seeing Leicester this weekend made me even more annoyed that we did nothing for 90 minutes last Monday.

I thought Ramsey looked good for what he played. He can only get better for the time we have him, surely?!?

Other than that it looks like another year of inconsistency. Forest will make the playoffs in their last game of the season and then blow it again. It's just the story of life as a Forest fan these days.

Nah, I agree - Moussi was rubbish along with most of the side. Billy gets most of the criticism though for picking such a negative formation - we will never ever get a result playing 4-5-1 with Earnshaw up front, that's just guaranteeing the opposition 60%+ possession.

That sums tyson up perfectly, fast and useless. Hes the human scalextric. Brilliant going fast in a straight line, but cant go round anything and lacks anything approaching fine,precision control.

I think we'll pick up after christmas, and go on a run. We've yet to show any form at all, and even in the games we've won we've looked average at best.

If you look at the players in that line up though, theres only 1 defensive minded midfielder in moussi. Its quite an attacking line up - so I wonder if billy is telling them to attack and just not getting the performances out of them?

Even gunter and bertrand are very attack minded players, so that leaves chambers,morgan and the moose as the only defensive players really on the pitch. A midfield which features cohen,mcgugan,ando and mccleary just cant be defensive to my mind. So if bills setting them that way, hes going nuts.

Which wouldnt surprise me :D

My big question of billy is why he keeps leaving majewski out, it makes no sense at all.

He picks an attacking team in a defensive formation, makes no sense. McGugan rarely got near the goal, Anderson plays like a 2nd full back, Adebola had no support - it was so poorly implemented that it was bizarre.

Worst thing about it is we started the season playing 4-4-2 away and having a go, now Billy's gone back to his cowardly ways. Any chance we can get Chris Hughton? Not sure Billy can take us any further now.

I can't understand Raddy not playing, but Anderson playing every week either.

I thought I was the pessimist? :D

Ando when hes on form is explosive, and I think billy persists with him in the hope that he'll eventually hit form. Plus, he doesnt really have many other options. The only other alternatives are moussi, tyson or mccleary- none of which ever prove to be very good. We have a surprising lack of quality for either flank really.

Your right about the leicester game, it was truly bizzarre. I felt sorry for earnie, as when he came on he just got no service whatsoever. The midfield offers absoloutely sod all to our strikers, which is why they dont score.
