If I remember right he did, but it was unfortunately disallowed.

Was it only Labour councillors who voted Wasps way?

It's quite hard to be completely objective about his performance last night as you can't ignore the fact he has just turned 17, and making the team this early (even in this competition), obviously shows he must be a really top prospect. Last night he was certainly knocked to the ground a lot...

If Mason replaces McCallum and therefore stops him from being cup tied, it might be a sign that the rumours that we are looking to cash in on McCallum come the transfer window might have some weight behind them.

Jones is a difficult one to call as even if fit we really can't judge if he will be the same player. I will however presume that Allen is the player we are expecting him to be, so my first XI at this point would be: Marosi Rose McFadzean Hyam Dabo Allen Kelly O'Hare McCallum Godden Biamou

Steven Pressley also gave lots of penalties away when he joined us as a player . For an experienced pro McFadzean does look prone to getting caught out by players looking for penalties. Last night was particularly poor given the inexperience of the forward he was marking. The other side of his...

Didn't Godden play up front with Ivan Toney at Peterborough?

Not that he's had a great deal to do but Drysdale is the only real positive so far. He looks very comfortable and composed.

I have lived in Nottingham and know many Forest fans. Fawaz was universally unpopular with them, although they were initially excited at the thought of being backed by a rich Arab tycoon, but the reality turned out somewhat different. Also, other than the vanity involved in being a football club...

This competition stands on its own in terms of suspensions, so the weekends League suspensions do not apply. McFadzean & Biamou will therefore be eligible to play. I would therefore expect the team to be: Wilson Watson Drysdale McFadzean Williams Mason Eccles Walsh Shipley Kastaneer Biamou

In terms of the Ricoh I remember Adel Taarabt being particularly good for QPR.

A few already mentioned - Shilton for Forest in 1978 was best goalkeeping display I ever saw against us. Barnes in the 6-1 defeat by Liverpool, when we actually had a half decent team and took the lead through Gallacher - Ronny Rosenthal was also unplayable that day. Shearer after he had first...

Morrell was not crap, neither was John. The criticism of John at the time was because he could have done so much better. Most people could see that his natural talent meant that potentially he could have been a regular in the Premier League, given which it has to be considered that he...

I only saw Glazier in his last few seasons but I remember him as quite an iconic figure. His dives to save the ball were balletic & visually exciting to watch. As for the Oggy v Blyth debate I would pick Blyth too. Obviously Oggy's longevity was incredible, but for me Blyth was a more complete...

Jim Blyth was criminally under used by Scotland. More so when you consider Alan Rough was picked ahead of him. Now he really was clumsy!!

Yes O'Hare broke through and we were effectively 2 on 2. I was screaming at him to go for the goal but he drifted to the right looking like he was giving himself the opportunity to go for the corner flag, but in doing so taking away our opportunity to get a 3rd. Then from the edge of the penalty...

We would have actually been better off trying to score a 3rd. They were short at the back having sent their big centre back up front, but we played for the corners and got dispossessed allowing them to then break and score.

The ref indicated it was disallowed for hitting Bakayoko's hand, but there's no way the ref could have seen it, and it looked like he guessed. The TV pictures certainly look if it came off anyone's hand then it was the defender's.

I think Westbrooke disguised his kick better than Hiwula did, and as such the keeper was later in diving to his left than the MK keeper was. As said by others he also hit it sweeter and at a less comfortable height for a keeper to save it.

Really tough game - couldn't be playing them at a worse time given their current form. That said we do tend to play better against the better teams. I would stick with the bulk of the team that finished yesterday, although Biamou might not be fit enough to start so might he then go with Hiwula...
