Sheffield Utd
Yeovil
Blackpool
Swansea
Megson

In that order. How the f*** I endured being a ST holder back then I will never know. I remember sitting there one freezing night under Megson with cronic toothache getting beat by someone like Oldham and it suddenly dawned on me....."What the f*** am I doing here" I got up, walked out and as I walked across Trent Bridge in the freezing mist with a tooth raging Im not sure how I didnt just throw myself off The only other time ive felt as miserable about football as that was the play off defeats, they were like a sledgehammer instead of death by dissapointment served up under Megson who for some utterly baffling reason, i thought would be a good appointment.

Still know f*** all about managers, still dread toothache and still love Forest.

I have to say.. In recent memory it has to be Lamouchi and the late season collapse. You went into that final game thinking, there's no way they could manage to mess this up - but they found a way.

There was an article titled something along the lines of.. "Nottingham Forest have turned choking into an art form". I thought that was very apt. It seemed we'd never escape the championship while I was still alive.

A bit too young to remember anything too well before the championship relegation under Megson, but the lowest I've ever felt at a Forest game was Birmingham away on a cold January in 2017.

We drew 0-0 which in fairness was a better result than the previous 5 straight losses but it was the off field context which made it truly awful...

The takeover by the Yanks who promised us the golden gates outside the Main Stand collapsed the day before, and the future of the club seemed uncertain. Our off-field woes had dragged on for so long that the collapse didn't really register much of a response in the away end - just a deep deep despair and sense of hopelessness.

We really weren't far from the situation Derby found themselves in, and it's crazy to think this was only 5 years ago.

I’ve never minded (too much) losing to a better side, or even one that’s played out of their skin to get ahead of us. Where it’s got really depressing is when we’ve not even tried. In approximate date order -

Appointing Ron Atkinson, as a clear signal of surrender.

Going down to L1. The record books say that it happened at QPR, but for me it was written in stone on a Tuesday night at Coventry a few weeks prior. We knew that a good result could go a long way towards safety, yet I’d never seen such a gutless can’t be arsed display before and we lost comfortably to a relegation rival who looked piss-poor themselves. We then repeated the trick at home to Plymouth at the weekend.

Too many individual moments in League One to mention, but Chester Away in the Cup can serve as a “catch all”. f***ing grim.

A man employed as Forest manager choosing to damn near throw a key game, by letting his petulant desire to make a point to the ownership negatively influence his team selection.

Appointing Steve McClaren, a move so obviously destined for failure that it still confuses me to this day.

Re-appointing a manager who’d damn near thrown a game, and all the negativity and bullshit that he brought to the club

Despite only being about 7 or 8 at the time I remember that Plymouth game. Think we lost 3-0 and a certain Dexter Blackstock got on the scoresheet.

My Dad loves to tell the story of how he turned to me on Lady Bay bridge while trudging home post-match and said I'm free to go and support a big team like all my mates, to which I replied (or so he says) "No I'm Forest through and through".

The years of suffering is what makes days like the play-off final the most special memories - I don't believe a fan of a top 6 club could ever feel the same release as what we as a fan base felt when the ft whistle went and Free from Desire came on.

Should post a link to this thread to the people that fall into a deep depression every time we lose a game in the Premier League, the hardest league in the world

Chester away was shite but its the FA Cup and that happens from time to time. Whereas the Yeovil playoff semi final was the biggest choke of all time by any football league club I would say or certainly feels like it.

When did you see Wrexham beat us??

Yes as the others have said it was the fogged game in 82. My first match. Found the ticket the other day.

The bit of the story he doesn't tell is after you said that he ruffled your hair and called you a silly ****.

I'm desperately searching for a positive re Megson..but can't. He was an abomination. But every cloud has a silver lining. He walked and made my day

The positive was the day he left

Yes,I went to that feast of football-hardly a rush for away tickets with only around 1,000 true Forest fans
rocking up in Brum.

 

[Souvik]

For me, it wasn't a match. It was when we signed Jason Cummings, not right at that time, but later on with the whole cumdog persona.

Don't get me wrong, we signed worse players in this period, but he was a relatively high profile signing for us at that time and he lacked any class; and not having the ethos which I think Forest stands for.

Strange one I know, and he is at a world cup now. But that's when I felt the lowest.

4 points off the drop to the fourth tier and dropping like a stone. Thank the imaginary man upstairs that the manager left.

Not so much a low point for me but a low period. Which went from when Pearce was sacked (even though I agreed with the decision) to around when Karanka took over and we saw a bit more investment.

So it basically covered Freedman, Montanier and Warburton. I just lost my whole mojo for Forest, not necessarily because we weren't very good as I'd been a ST holder in the dark Megson days but I just couldn't see what we were trying to do. Fawaz nearly turned me off Forest for good with hid incompetent running the club into the ground and the crossover period with Marinakis was depressing.

We were just treading water year in, year out signing players who either couldn't give a f*** about the club or were never seen. The squad turnover in that time was incredible. I think I saw Dumitriu once try and control the ball and make a simple 5 yard pass and failing and I just pretty much shut down with it all thinking we were now just a pawn being used in backhanders and dodgy agent favours. To be honest every now and then I still get that impression...
