BeestonMick 263 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Nobody seems to be mentioning the mighty Forests win up in the once north Yorkshire. Why not, what a fantastic win, the play-off's are in sight. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 That is a fantastic result for the Reds against a very strong Boro side. Well done Forest! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeestonMick 263 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I didn't see the game but it appears Dougie set his stall out to stop 'em working and it worked. They won it by fighting hard and sticking to the boss' instructions, al la Clough the last time they won there(?) It's a good time for them to get some cohesion.

.... 23 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I think this was definitely the game to set up that way. Most Forest friends of mine say that the problem is when they continurally set up to contain the inferior teams that they should really be attacking and taking the game to though.

BeestonMick 263 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 As it may appear judging by their away record of late, good intel, cheers. If only Britt was available, they'd be smashing inferior AND top of the table. Over the years I've realised nothing in the Championship is done 'til it's done. Can you imagine Forest and Derby in a playoff semi final or, even better, the final? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Are you able to access Notts TV's 'The Boot Room' where you are, Mick? Friend was talking to Britt on Woodthorpe Park the other week where he was walking his dogs. Hopes to be 'not too long'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeestonMick 263 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yes, it's on t'interweb, why do you ask? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just that you mentioned 'intel'. Lot of good chat in there I find if you like that sort of thing. A bit like being in the pub with your mates conducting the weekend's post-mortem. No, I wouldn't count Forest out of gaining a play-off place either. They've not been losing games awhile now and with that confidence and if they can turn a few more of the draws into wins, they could sneak in there. I'd tip them to do well if they did. They have some good players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Boro have frequently been one of our bogey teams. I feel good to have beaten them up there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BeestonMick 263 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 The BBC: "Forest, who also saw Osborn's shot strike a post, started with a game-plan to stifle the home side and executed it to perfection to secure a first win on Teesside since February 1993." Since Brian Clough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Annesleyred1865 137 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Great win , hope we can beat QPR. Looking good now Cohen is getting match fit and then we've got Britt to come. Oliver Burke looks like he can become and Ian Storey-Moore type player. Get shut of the Embargo and we could be coming up Roses (Bubblewrap) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeestonMick 263 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think they're at the stage now they don't need to fear anyone, which is good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
