Billy will get you promoted. Buy lots of scottish (and/or) ex-Preston players. You will be bottom after 10 games and he will engineer his own dismissal pocketing a tidy compensation figure in the process. Probably.

In all honesty he is a very effective CCC manager and has consistently taken underachieving sides and turned them into top 6 teams. It will be interesting to see what players you sign in the next couple of weeks. It was this transfer window that things started to go wrong when Billy was in charge of the best club in the midlands - we went from being 8 points clear at the top of the table to missing out on automatic promotion.

Guess it depends on the football we play for the remainder of the season, looking at how things were when he was managing derby in the CCC, we are playing different classes of football. However, only time will tell

I, for one am worried about Forest . Gaining too much ground. Go back to League one where you belong

I'm also a ST holder, sit in U1 Upper Brigeford. Where do you sit??

Good game today though, totally ripped Reading apart in the first half. Dipped in the seconed but Lee Camp was inspirational with his two saves then the penalty save

I also went to West Brom, that game was quite possibly the best football I have seen from Forest... Majewski's goal was majic And the build up to Cohen's goal was pure class

Upper Trent, T5. I have a stunning view from my seat. Lower Bridgford yesterday was rubbish - I told my bro if he's going to come to QPR he'd better get his arse in gear and grab a ticket near to mine instead. I've used up all my alternatives now so we'll just have to try and find two free seats in the UT.

Not a bad performance yesterday, anyway. I don't buy Davies' spiel that it was the best we'd played first-half, I think that honour belongs to a magical fifteen minute spell against West Brom, or maybe the Cardiff away/Newcastle home games. We were good but we weren't that good. Second half was shaky and nervy, but job done.

Unbeaten going into Derby would be lovely. Having only been to three away games, I'm not going to Derby . . .
. . . unless it's in the home end .

Quartet Leave City Ground

Winger Arron Davies is one of four players being released by Nottingham Forest.

The 25 year old Welsh international, who joined Forest from Yeovil at the same time as Chris Cohen in 2007, has only recently returned to The City Ground from a loan spell with League One side Brighton.

The other players to leave the club by mutual consent are full back Joe Heath, winger James Reid and central defender Aaron Mitchell.

Davies made 14 starts and 24 substitute appearances since joining Forest, scoring one goal.

Heath made 12 appearances for the club before joining Lincoln City on loan earlier this season.

Reid, an England Under 18 international, made his debut for Forest in one appearance as a substitute last season and has spent the first half of this season on loan at Rushden & Diamonds.

Mitchell, who figured in the Forest squad during pre-season games, has more recently been on loan with Blue Square North side Ilkeston Town.

A club statement from Forest said: "We would like to wish all four players every success in their future careers."

Looks like there could be bad news for Forest. Newcastle apparently have made a bid for James Perch!

I heard about that, I hope we don't let him go. He's a good squad player.

[LukeatForest]

Rejected. We were never going to sell such a versatile player, really, unless it was silly money. Though even then you have to wonder why Newcastle are pursuing second choice utility men. Not that I don't rate Perch - he is a good footballer. Just not good enough to be deserving of seven figure bids.

Reds Reject Toon Approach

Nottingham Forest have rejected what they labelled a "derisory' offer from fellow Championship high-fliers Newcastle for James Perch.

The bid was rejected immediately with manager Billy Davies again insisting he does not want to - or have to - sell any members of his squad during the transfer window.

"We must be doing something right if other teams in our division want out players," said Davies.

"But we are looking to build a squad at The City Ground rather than dismantle one and James is not leaving.

"Newcastle's offer for someone we value so highly as a player and an individual was derisory and I'm disappointed it made it into the public domain.

"That's not our way of doing business."

How highly do you guys rate perch?

I think he is alright, he can play in like 4 different positions. Newcastle will probably have to bid around £2 million for us to consider any bid.

Yes.

I've seen you on it before (as the only Sheffield United fan there!)

Spot Of Iron-ing for Brendan
Wed 27 Jan 2010

Nottingham Forest defender Brendan Moloney is heading out of The City Ground on loan for the second time this season.

The Republic of Ireland Under 21 international is joining Forest's Championship rivals Scunthorpe for the remainder of the season.

He could make his debut for The Iron tonight against Sheffield Wednesday.

He will not be eligible to play against Forest at Glanford Park in the season finale on May 2.

Moloney has recently returned to The Reds after an extended loan spell with neighbours Notts County.

He made 19 league and FA Cup appearances for the Magpies.
