Sels makes a surprise return. Awoniyi and Netz on the bench with no Ortega, Morato or Lucca in the squad. A win takes #nffc five points clear of West Ham.

If youβre a Forest fan of a certain age you will have bought a copy of Brian, the mother of all #nffc fanzines. @marpsdavid.bsky.social finds the words to pay a wonderful tribute to Julie who was the driving force behind it. Off now to find my back copies.
Life imitates art.
29 years ago, Wag the Dog told the story of a US president mired in sex scandal that threatened to undermine his presidency so he decided he needed to concoct a make-believe war to boost his support.
Enjoyed this today - Mikey & me getting last night out of our system & being positive for the rest of the season & Matt becoming an agent for @tinietempah.bsky.social β¦π have a listen to find out. #nffc

Chance to read about & give your views on the changes in council structures in Notts. Itβs long overdue to move from 9 councils to 2. Sensible change which will benefit future generations. Iβm backing option Bii which creates a south west council & a north east one.

Letting some facts get in the way of the misinformation is useful from time to time.
An appeal for some fan base unity on @forestfocuspod.bsky.social - we have a massive 3 months ahead of us. Get behind the team & leave the inquest til the summer. #nffc

Signed a short term contract til the end of the season but option of another year if we win the EL & stay up. Spotted some small print about letting the players decide the tactics but can live with that. Insisted I get paid the full contract salary if/when Iβm sacked in 2 weeks #NFFC

The tour continues next week at Fenerbahce. Take the opportunity when you get it as these times donβt happen every year for a club like ours. So looking forward to seeing a new city, a new ground & atmosphere (despite the hoops they are putting us through before & after the game). #nffc

If you are a member of @trentbridge.co.uk & havenβt voted yet in the election for the Notts committee then now is a good time to dig out the ballot paper, vote & send it off. Deadline is next week. 3 vacancies to be filled, Iβm asking for your support to elect me as one of them. NB photo from 2012

For reasons Iβm still unsure of myself Iβve started posting a few videos on TikTok. Mainly Forest related but also my speech at the council about why we need a broader geographical council based on the Nottm conurbation. Feedback always welcome #nffc
