Hi dear readers, I am glad you keep following Nottingham Forest story. It’s season 6 now. The period I am reporting about started with the last days of transfer window.

Dear readers, Today’s post is clearly dedicated to one of my favourite players in Football Manager 2013. He is definitely one of the wonderkids. Forest academy graduate Jamaal Lascelles has been Nottingham Forest captain since the second season (which was my PL debut). Just think about that: he got a captain armlet being only 19 years old. I do hope to retain Jamaal Lascelles in Nottm Forest

2013-05-24T08:14:00.001+03:00

Dear blog readers, After somewhat uncertain start my Nottm Forest returned to the way of glory. It was almost green one and a half of month including Champions League games. Just one draw happened in the match with Newcastle as you see below. It’s especially pleasantly to see Forest defence playing much more reliable football. Thus we managed to concede only 7 goals in 11 matches. Awesome!

Hi all, I am glad to tell you about the start of season 6, the first one when my Forest should compete for PL title. We made a very good start making three wins in all three league games.

I was feeling

Forest squad review before transfer campaign

Young talents promoted to the first team before season 6

2013-04-27T07:24:00.001+03:00

Dear readers, By this post, I want you to get acquainted to those youngsters who joined the first team in the second half of the last season and newly promoted stars like Mo Cairns. Defenders Scott Moore is probably the weakest of all whom you see in this post. But he is especially valuable because he is a graduate of Nottingham youth facilities. That’s why I won’t sell him and give him chances

Superb success in season 5

Dear blog readers, this is the final post to underline the latest matches and make totals of the whole season. As you know Nottingham Forest won Europa League and League Cup. The European trophy is of course extremely valuable for me and fans. It brought my club to higher level. It also means my current squad can solve tasks of any complexity. Thus I’m not sure if any serious squad changes are

Season 5. Europa League final.

2013-04-22T07:52:00.001+03:00

It was a great day for Nottingham Forest independently of result. The legendary club has returned into a fight for European trophies, and that’s the main thing. Though of course I hoped much to win. Moreover, I had slight advantages having won Premier League encounter with Chelsea two days before. PL game in two days before the EL final Nottm Forest had backup players in the first eleven.

FA Cup final. Nottm Forest – Man United

2013-04-20T11:02:00.001+03:00

One match at the Wembley stadium is today’s topic for discussion. My first FA Cup final with Nottingham Forest turned into dramatic event due to the arguable decisions of Howard Webb (referee). We had all chances to beat the Red Devils but Webb spoiled everything sending off two Forest players… Though let’s start from the beginning. Here are the starting elevens: Howard Webb broke the game

League Cup final: Forest vs Arsenal

2013-04-08T07:21:00.001+03:00

Today’s post is just about the first (I hope not last) final in the season 5 of Nottingham Forest story. Despite good form of my team Arsenal has still been considered as favourites. It’s pretty easy to understand they have even greater run without defeats and even draws. Moreover, the Gunners is the most inconvenient opponent for me in FM 2013. The head-to-head screen shot below confirms this
