He was always the same as a player with his negative points - i remember when Gregory signed him at Villa for a bit of experience for Gareth Barry
He was always the first voice to pop up on MOTD or in the paper with how he thought things should be run when all he should of been doing was his job
Wasn't long until Gregory sent him packing and released him - can't remember if Spurs took him back or he went to Forest
0-0 at the moment at Leeds Steed

1-1 final score
Better than nothing I suppose. Although after taking the lead yet again we fail to see it through to the end & hang on. Ok, it's not the end of the world with a draw in front of 30,000 baying Yorkshire blokes but we should have enough to see them off.
Now we find ourselves about 15 points behind Swansea & 6 behind Doncaster, I just find it incredible that last season seems to be repeating it's self.....we'll see in the next few games if we're serious or not.

On the BBC Sport website, Calderwood was complaining about the Leeds United penalty, steed

I hear that it was 6 of one & half a dozen of the other. I think the ref, so I'm told, was trying to make up for earlier refusals.

It was a shame they conceeded the pen late on to hand Leeds the point - i thought Forest done enough to take the 3-points personally
Still as you say a point against one of the better squads like yourself is better than nothing mate

Today sees Swindon visiting the CG. We owe them a result as they turned us over 2-1 at their place a couple of weekends ago. Mind you, we did score all the goals. It's just a pity 2 of them were in our own net !!

forest do seem to be dropping silly points at the moment. If they can up their game, and turn the draws into wins, they will go up!!

Well we managed to negotiate Swindon to collect another 3 points at home. Tyson scored the winner but , once again is injured !! He had to be replaced. He's getting more & more like Owen with every game pasing.
Hopefully we can start turning these away draws into wins rapid. This is having a dent on an other wise reasonable season from us. Now up to 3rd & 3 points behind Donny.

Dad was saying that it was all Forest! The Town must've defended well then!

I heard the same Shazzy......we should've had a hat full against Swindon.
Tonight is a real 6 pointer away to Carlisle. They're breathing down our necks for the other automatic promotion place. Saturday we've got Leyton Orient away again. Thing that bothers me is our crappy away form (I think 1 win in 12 away from the CG) which needs putting right before long.

Tyson is so unlucky with injuries - i feel for him and Forest as he is such an impact player for you
Will be a good game against Carlisle Steed - John Ward is doing ok there and making them a tough unit to break down
The O's will also be a tough game - if you can collect 6-points from these two games i think your have a good chance of making promotion

It looks like all matches north of Huddersfield fell foul to the weather yesterday. I'm glad really. I'd like to split these tough games up & maybe have a couple of 'bankers' inbetween.

Tomorrow sees us take on Leyton Orient down at their place. This is one of my favourite away trips, or rather it was when I was back in the UK. I've only been there once with Forest but did go a few times with my mates from Lincoln. Hopefully we can get our away form back on track because after them I think is Carlisle at home on Mon/Tues.
Have you been to Whadden RD Villa? I went one time a few years back now when I was doing the 92 club.
