Yeah, what a match to head into the int break with. After that they have visits to Spurs, Arsenal and Man City. Their run to the end is more winnable than ours though.I think we have to be hugely grateful that Burnley and Sheff U are utterly abject this season. It could be worse if not.
Luton game is gargantuan.
Think I still have PTSD from that matchMight be like the Southampton game last year that ended 4-3 to us. I'd take that.

A 4-3 scoreline was good enough for Forest to win at Kenilworth Road in a 3rd RoundMight be like the Southampton game last year that ended 4-3 to us. I'd take that.

I'm really glad Sheffield United got that win over Luton the other week, they might actually have been worse than Derby otherwise. Hell, even us with Dougie Freedman and Hugo Porfirio and Neal Shipperley clear them.
Ironically, Neil Shipperley and Dougie Freedman took VERY different paths after leaving the club.Van Hooijdonk and Campbell to Shipperley and Freedman

Dougie is being touted to be United's head of recruitment and Neil was wanking over a mother and daughter in his van.
About as bad as Woodcock and Francis to Wallace and Fashanu.Van Hooijdonk and Campbell to Shipperley and Freedman
My very first game (we lived in Dunstable for 3 years ) and my 7th birthday present.A 4-3 scoreline was good enough for Forest to win at Kenilworth Road in a 3rd Round
FA Cup replay in 1971.
I went to the first game at the City Ground-which was memorable for John Winfield demolishingMy very first game (we lived in Dunstable for 3 years ) and my 7th birthday present.
My dad reckons I cried on the bus on the way to the match when I found out ISM wasn't playing, because he got injured in the first tie.
Malcolm Macdonald got all 3 for Luton but we ended up sneaking it with a few minutes to go. Peter Cormack was excellent.
My dad had serious back issues throughout his 30's and 40's and although he's never said so (hero), I'm convinced it was due to him holding up his 7 year old for most of the 90 minutes so he could see ..... nearly 30,000 in Kenilworth Road that night !
Freedman wasn't too bad that season though, I think he finished top scorer with 9 in a season we didn't get many at all because selling Campbell ripped 90% of our goals out of the team from the previous season a level below because it was basically that which made PvH go on strike too.Ironically, Neil Shipperley and Dougie Freedman took VERY different paths after leaving the club.

I think Freedman was a decent Championship striker but not Premier League quality.Freedman wasn't too bad that season though, I think he finished top scorer with 9 in a season we didn't get many at all because selling Campbell ripped 90% of our goals out of the team from the previous season a level below because it was basically that which made PvH go on strike too.
They did mainly follow different paths as players too, after leaving us. Freedman went to Palace and though he ended up cover to Johnson and Morrison got promoted to the PL. Shitterly followed Harry Bassett to Barnsley after relegation then went to Wimbledon and then Palace (they were both there between 03 and 05).
Neither of them was prolific at any stage of their career though and the lack of any top striker at all for that season really did cost us
Yeah, sounds about right.I think Freedman was a decent Championship striker but not Premier League quality.
Yes-it was a disaster of our own making (or rather a rotten board’s making).Yeah, sounds about right.
Think we finished the promotion season with Ian Moore, Paul McGregor and Steve Guinan as cover for PvH and Campbell. I think we then sold Campbell and brought in Darcheville on loan and Freedman about the time PvH went on strike. I suppose both of those were really designed as cover options.
But then we brought in Shipperley afterwards who was a bit of a joke and PvH came back and everyone basically thought he was a smunt and no-one would pass to him anyway so none of them were any good really.
Did there used to be a proper stand down the near side?My very first game (we lived in Dunstable for 3 years ) and my 7th birthday present.

I seem to remember that there was-I went there a couple of times in 1976.Did there used to be a proper stand down the near side?
I never knew that about the first intended replay.I went to the first game at the City Ground-which was memorable for John Winfield demolishing
the goalpost as he ran back to prevent a goal.
After a lengthy delay the game finished 1-1-I seem to remember Macdonald equalising for Luton
in the 2nd half.
Forest were underdogs in the replay as Luton were going well in the 2nd Division and we were
facing another struggle in the top flight.
My Dad was going to attend the replay as he was on a course in the area but the initial game
at Luton got fogged off.
A theme we've since repeated time and time again.Yes-it was a disaster of our own making (or rather a rotten board’s making).
Yes-we got relegated the following season.I never knew that about the first intended replay.
It was the season before we got relegated wasn't it .... my first memories of Forest were those two seasons and being relegated under Gillies ....my dad being in a foul mood nearly every Saturday afternoon because Gillies had ripped up the team that had finished 2nd a few years before
I believe so. There's some good photos on here and the match report !Did there used to be a proper stand down the near side?
Graham Collier also scored the winner in the 4th Round replay at Orient (after the originalI believe so. There's some good photos on here and the match report !
First page is incorrect though as the sub that scored with his first touch was Graham Collier not Alan.

I was at the home game Too. There was quite a delay while they sorted the goalpost out. Luton were convinced a goal should have been given as they felt the ball was over the goal line before Winnie demolished the goal, but I imagine the ref couldn’t definitively say that was the case so gave us a goal kick instead.I went to the first game at the City Ground-which was memorable for John Winfield demolishing
the goalpost as he ran back to prevent a goal.
