Nottingham Forest 3 vs 0 Ipswich, last game of 2017.
Anyone remember that one? I have to admit I'd stepped away during that period as had a young family so only recognised a few players.
Two very soft penalties when viewed with modern eyes |  | | |  |

Remember it well, the day Forest celebrated liked they had won the Champions League.
I found it all rather comical, but then living in Nottingham you get used to Ipswich almost never winning at the City Ground. |  | | |

God that game at Reading was awful. Another reason why I hate that ground.
Yeah, you're right about that side. The sense was that we were never really good enough for play offs even though we finished where we did in the end. Some of what worked in 14/15 was still there (although even that team started faltering in the way into the play offs and in reality was never good enough to win them) but overall we V were beginning to see the squad weaken considerably.
Didn't Tommy Oar say he was homesick and then promptly sign for another club in Europe?
Somewhere there's an AA type group for Mick's spurned wingers. Henshall, Cameron Stewart, etc. all weeping in each other's arms. [Post edited 13 Jun 16:55]

Think it might have been different if he got the wingers he wanted in the first place (I think we tried to sign Liam Feeney and had to settle for him on loan later), but as soon as we were exposed at Reading, it felt like he lost all faith in trying to be more expansive. Maybe that was the initial start of the end.
We had lost Jay Tabb, Paul Anderson, Stephen Hunt from the previous season, who played in the wide positions and were very narrow and could defend well too, but we had no-one like that anymore.
Yeah, youre right about Tommy Oar, forget where he ended up but it wasnt back in Australia!
MM was always looking to find a bargain winger and none of them ever seemed to come off. | | | |

We were looking a good bet for the play-offs in Jan 2016 but things fell away badly. Fraser injured at qpr, heaps of injuries in central midfield. The low point for me was a must win game at home in march vs Neil Warnocks relegation threatened Rotherham, where we started with a midfield of Skuse, Douglas and Hyam. I still remember the feeling when that team news dropped..
We lost 1-0 to a Leon Best goal, the season fizzled out, nowhere near the top 6 despite finishing 7th, and MM never really recovered. |  |
