Chopping down the Forest CCFC v NFFC



The Sky Blues need plenty of support at the moment so I headed off down the M6 to watch the game versus Forest, a game we really needed to win to kickstart our climb back up the Championship table. I promised Cub I'd send him the programme.... look who's IN IT presenting Man of the Match award!!



I met Browny and it was only right that we had our photo taken with the mighty Oggy!



Dick and Pam were on excellent form, especially Pam who was fantastic company. It was lovely to meet them.



Do you recognise them Dids? They remembered giving you lifts home from your cricketing days with the GEC.




Forest made it hard work for the City in the first half, we couldn't seem to get through their defence at all. It wasn't a great half, but apparently it wasn't "as bad as Barnsley".

Half time NIL-NIL....time for plenty of these! (The others had a drink from the bar so I had their cups of tea, no point in wasting the hot water...)



The Forest fans helped the crowd total over 15,700 and they were in good voice.



Until we scored!

Lee Camp had produced a brilliant save from Keogh moments before Lukey Jukey headed the goal in from about 8 yards WOOOOOOOOOO One nil!!





And it stayed like that. City were far better in the second half and I think on balance we were the better side. Chris Hussey had a good game, Platty caused a few problems for the Tricky Trees and Cyrus Christie was on very good form.

I wonder who John Sillett would have chosen as his Man of the Match. (OMG OMG JOHN SILLETT the legend. He is now a life President of the Club PUSB PUSB)



It was a very welcome win for Andy Thorn's lads, YIPPEEEEE!



"I like it when we win" - Mr Brown was clearly delighted with the 3 points



Cyrus Christie came through to the lounge to receive his Man of the Match award.



But the highlight of the afternoon was a cuddle with David Busst.
