CHO went down 'injured' when he was subbed and hobbled off too.
A little shithousery I suspect. Nice for the shoe to be on our foot for once.

Well actually how did ginger get that lot to lose 6-0 to Ipswich.
Gerrard was a PL keeper for Oldham and Everton previously and I seem to recall was almost in the England squad at one point.
Rogers was a decent LB but didn't get on with Megson at all and wasn't as good as he was since he had that knee injury under Platt.
Melville wasn't that past it and had again played PL most of his career.
Morgan ended up winning the title with Leicester.
Doig wasn't too bad for a young lad
That's the back 5 which let in 6.
OK so Powell was shit, Evans was no good without a ball player alongside him, Friio was decent for Plymouth but toss for us, so that probably didn't help at all.
More so that the players didn't give a shit because the manager was a total tool.

It's an expected loss but we'll come away with a famous 4-1 victory.
We're the exact opposite of a side they want to play......

Probably Forests worst squad in my lifetime
I remember arguing for hours on here at how bad the club was ran back in those days.
I also remember a prominent poster under the name "Sedgebrookred" or similar was Doughty's main defender. Whatever happened to Sedge?

Definitely if you take the task at hand.

2005 was the worst calendar year for Forest I can remember-relegation to the 3rd tier and
a poor start to life in League 1 under Megson.
The only years that can compete with that despair are 1972-relegation to the 2nd Division and a poor start at that level under Gillies and 1999-the Wray/Scholar/Soar fiasco and
David Platt arriving and wasting money.

The 72 relegation was horrendous, towards the end of our last in Division 1 we won 2 consecutive home games v Coventry and Chelsea which gave me hope that when the inevitable was confirmed we would soon bounce back. But that feeling soon started to drift away. We played Cardiff midweek at home when it really hit me how bad we had become. My memory tells me we won that game but the atmosphere was appalling and fans had started voting with their feet resulting in one of the lowest attendances I can remember at the City Ground .

Yes-the Cardiff attendance of just over 6,000 was the 2nd lowest post-war league crowd
at the City Ground.
I recall regularly standing in crowds of 7/8,000 that season-we only averaged around
10,000 for league games which meant the crowd had halved from the previous season.
I think people were disillusioned with Forest (having sold off their best players) and a daresay
that some floating support drifted down the A52 to see a team managed by a certain
Mr.Brian Clough.

I remember quite clearly the protests from that time. In fact, there's an infamous photo somewhere online showing a group of us on the Main Stand enclosure terrace congregated around a "Gillies Out" banner with him sat almost directly behind in the directors' box. I don't think he lasted much longer after that.

Dark days, made even worse for me having to move to Derby, then having the kids at school rub my nose in it as Derby were about to win the league title.

I used to join in with all the Gillies out stuff, often in the main car park either before or after the game, sometimes both.

Cheers Red, that's the one. Although partly obscured under the banner, I'm on it.

Not a name or face I'm familiar with mate.
There are couple of relatively well known faces - although both sadly no longer with us - Brian Linley (partially obscurred) and my old mate, Johnny Shacklock (less obscured, immediately under the S).
To the left of Johnny is a bloke called Adrian Sheldrick, a bit of a divisive character, who for a peroid of time ran the NFFC club shop on Clinton Street in the city centre. In more recent times he had had T-shirt logo business, and immediately following our League One play-off semi-final 1st-leg win at Yeovil he bought hundreds of T-shirts and printed "Forest at Wembley" on the front hoping for a quick killing following the formality of securing a Wembley final after the 2nd-leg at the CG. As many of us are still left with the awful memory of how it eventually panned-out, Sheldrick was left with all of those T-shirts........until, that is, he decided to hawk boxes of them around the pubs of Derby on the eve of their last Play Off Final. I was told that he claimed to have shifted just about all of them to gleeeful 'shaggers for a fiver a pop, although they didn't have the last laugh of course. Sheldrick didn't endear himslf to a lot of Forest fans who knew him, not that anyone's feelings bothered him.

I remember on a rival forum several people clubbing together hiring buses to Wembley on the same supposition.
