Tricky Trees Thread 2008!

Nottingham Forest Football Club is an English professional football club based at The City Ground in West Bridgford a suburb of Nottingham, England. The club is currently in League One of the Coca-Cola Football League and has an illustrious history which encompasses winning two consecutive European Cups, along with the domestic title, two FA Cups and four League Cups.

Nottingham Forest takes its name from the Forest Recreation Ground just north of the city centre which is where the team first played and is now the site of the annual Nottingham Goose Fair. The club is often referred to simply as Forest (not to be confused with the entirely unrelated older amateur side, Forest F.C., which is better known as The Wanderers F.C.), the name the club carries on its badge.

Notts is the correct abbreviation of Nottinghamshire (hence Notts County), but not of Nottingham itself. The appropriate abbreviation of Nottingham Forest is Nott'm Forest. Despite this distinction, it is the City Ground which actually lies outside the city of Nottingham.

Relegation to English football's third tier made Forest the first European Cup-winning club ever to fall into its country's third division. Many of today's footballing rules and features, including floodlighting, shinpads, and even lettering on the stands have been pioneered by Forest: see "Forest's firsts" below.

The City Ground:

Nottingham Forest play their home games at The City Ground, which has been their home, directly across the Trent from city rivals, Notts County, since 1898. Before they settled at The City Ground, which is located on the south bank of the Trent, they played at the Forest Recreation Ground, from which the team takes its name.

The City Ground, Home of Nottingham Forest The four stands are:

The Main Stand, the oldest stand in the ground. Capacity: 5,708.

There were plans to rebuild this stand with a much larger capacity in order to raise the City Ground's capacity to 40,000 if the club regains a Premier League place. This was scrapped when the club planned to build a new stadium (see below)

The Trent End, the newest stand, built in 1994. Capacity: 7,500

The Bridgford End, the lower tier houses up to 5,151 away fans, while its total capacity is 7,710

The Brian Clough Stand, which was originally named the Executive Stand but has been renamed to honour Forest's former manager Brian Clough. It is the largest stand in the ground with a capacity of 10,000.

The Capital One Corner, located in one corner of the ground between the Brian Clough and Bridgford stands. Before it was named Pinnacle Place, after the club's previous sponsors. The main noise comes from the capital one corner and the "A" block

The ground's combined capacity is 30,602.

Improvements

I would look at getting some new staff in, as most of them arent that good. also a good solid centre back and a right winger are a must. Maybe a new striker when you get promoted.

Good Start Post

When i played as nottingham forest it was great. Won the first pre season game 3-2 against a full stregnth fenerbache team. Won the last 2 friendlies 8-0 against Woking and 9-0 angainst another blue square team. Brought Crowe to play at right back who was great. 2 assits in his first game and for a cheap 55k. Also brought Malcolm Christie before the first pre season game for free. He was great against Fenerbache. Scores lots. I also brought Joseph Ndo for 22k who was class before he got injured. Junior Agogo played well for me and found a place in the first team up front with malcolm christie. Grant Holt was good and Dobie was a decent replacement. The centre back stage is tough to pick as all the centre back are preforming fantasticly. Midfield is good. Lennon got better and better every game and Mcguan looks like a top youngster. Nathan Tyson hasent been the same since he came back from injury and cohen when he came back has to make do with a place on the bench as all the midfielders are preforming well. Here's my team.

main problem letting to many goals ,but scoring loads

lewis mcguan top scorer with 21 from amc position top player

also balaz dzsudzak is a must buy , board was not happy about him for 3 months .but after that

he was best player and now loads of teams are after him.best position for me was left winger

derek young is great as a left amc

andrew barcham ,perch, spillane, wes morgan ,junior agogo ,chambers,julain bennett,paul smith, cohen all played well

arron davies was a good impact player

tyson was ok

happy to answer any questions

The link doesnt work

http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/659/leaguetablexn6.jpg

yes it does

Didn't mention i'm second in the league behind Swansea and i had a fantastic cup run.

1st round Whrexam 2-0

2nd Round Tramnere 2-1

3rd Round Crewe 3-0

4th Round Watford 3-2

Fifth Round Plymouth lost 3-2 was 2-0 down at half time pulled two back thanks to agogo and clingan then they got a penaltly and scored.

Try to get a parent club. Really helps.

Tyson was excellent for me once back from injury. He has good skill, pace to burn and can finish - pairs really well Holt who's a decent target man.

First season I ended up finishing second (behind Swansea). Tyson was player of the season with 19 goals, 10 assists and 7.07 av, which was not bad considering he was injured half the time. Holt ended on 15/11/6.86, while Davies was utter **** for most of the season and left me wishing I still had the £1m they forked out to Yoevil for him.

End of first season and most of next I switched to a 4-3-3 "defensive" counter with Tyson - Holt - Davies occupying the 3 SC positions (runs left and right), playing quick and direct with 8 men behind hte ball most of the time. Extremely effecive tactic 'cos Tyson and Davies are both pacey, skillful and good at getting onto balls played over the top while Holt can usually be relied upon to stick it in the back of the net from >6 yards.

Wilson star player and captain despite his lowish influence. Awesome centre back. Cohen decent in MC, Lennon appalling waste of 10k p/w, Commons.. meh, a winger with no pace.. but okish. Smith decent in goal. Noone else worth hanging onto in my opinion.

Need to sign some defenders, especially full backs, and a defensive mid to have any chance of challenging for promotion from the champ. Don't know about you guys though but my board offered me the generous sum of £0 for new players (and only 40% of sales income) despite having £8m in the bank, and then demanded a top half finish. /sigh

Im half way through my first season with forest. Wish they were playing as well in real life. leading the league with 51 points after 19 games and unbeaten. not doing quite so well in the cups, stuffed sunderland 4-1 away only to be stuffed in return by charlton.

Not done masses to my team, christie in on a free and is good, got ehiogu too on a free and he was good until injured. Luke Steele is my back up keeper on loan, other loans havent really worked out.

Signed Danny Invicible as RM and hes good when not getting sent off. Lennon, Commons and Wilson are proving much better than they are in reality and Tyson is great too. Spent all my £s getting Danny Haynes from Ipswich and he started well but is now not getting a game ahead of tyson and Christie. Disappointments are Cohen and Davies who have done precious little. Perch and Clingan are solid. Had to sell McGuigan to get a few quid.

Imagine when i get up to the Championship i will need to take a serious look at my staff and franly the defence too.

I've just started my second season and after winning League One with 102 points the Championship should be exciting!

Be warned though, despite Forest being a very big club in reality, it's very very difficult to buy class players in this league despite being former European Champions. It seems that League One status has hit this club hard on here to such an extent Steve Howard has rejected me from Derby!

Chris Cohen got offered 500k accepted

Lewis Mcguan 600k rejected

Nathan Tyson 500k accepted

Sold cohen for 500k because the price i was offered for him was to good to turn down. Rejected the bid for mcguan because he has being playing very well and sld tyson because he wasn't preforming and the deal was to good to turn down.

Won league 1 in my first season by 12 clear points!

Mcgugan (spelt wrong) becomes good but I loanded him out for an entire season and also power and cohen. V.good players in next season. Smith is amazin gk dont sell him and tyson and christie up front are great together!

Yesterday I won the League Cup 4-3 against Arsenal(3rd season) with half of my team youngsters. BigAndyT you will struggle to keep Tyson happy and probably won't sign a new contract. He wanted to move to a "bigger club" on my game and I couldn't renew his contract when I went up to the Prem. He then decided to join League 1 Peterborough

Hi people

Just wondering what tactics everyone plays with Forest.....basic 442 doesn't get me very far at away games?

The forest board will give you a lot of money if you exceed expectations in the first season. I won league 1 without making any real transfers, and requested extra transfer funds from the board in June and they gave me 3M, then again in August and they gave me another 3M. I didn't think this feature ever worked, but pretty happy about it. It's easy to strengthen the squad witht this money, and I'm currently 2nd in the championship with 5 games to go. Good players I've hung onto are Paul Smith, Commons, Tyson, Clingan, Wilson. Cohen is ok, but am having morale problems with him. I play 442 home and away, just more defensively away. Playing with a lone striker, or someone in the DM spot never seems to work well. In L1 a great tactic is to play with with Commons on the left and Davies on the right. They'll get the ball to Holt a lot who finishes well close to goal. Tyson is fast enough to pick up through balls and can score from distance.

Holt's value went up to 2.1M after a season in L1, now it's back down to 100k after playing in the reserves for a year.

I am in my second season and currently 14th in the Championship. Won League 1 with 100 points exactle, with 120 goals as well. Not so good in the Championship and was at the bottom until November but have now won 8 on the bounce.

In my first season Luke Chambers got 18 goals from CB! This season he is my top scorer again with 11 goals.

My team now is:

GKP Olivier Blondel

RB Osei Sankofa

LB Olivier Davidas

CB Borislav Stankov

CB Luke Chambers

M Dady Mayuma

M Chris Cohen

RM Dimitri Copil

LM Kris Commons

ST Michael Mifsud

ST Noel Gifton-Williams

Sold Tyson, he is a real whinger in this game. Injured for 9 games, then moans he cannot get in the team!

Bringing in Henri Camara and Johnnie Jackson in the summer, hopefully can still go up!!

Is it in everyone's game that Tyson always goes in am ood and leaves

Does Hoskins start on loan at Forest in your game? He doesn't on mine so just wondering if I've got the most up to date database.

Tyson unbelievable for my forest in the 1st season 46 games 28 goals 7 assists he was the reason i got promoted to the championship

second season utter rubbish 21 games 2 goals 1 assist but he was useful in bringing sum money to my club SOLD to Falkirk for £2million

I'm playing on one I updated post transfer window, its OK, but theres a few tweaks that need doing.

I normally strengthen the midfield (got Mark Wilson on loan from Pompey for the season), as despite having a wealth of riches in there, we need someone who can put their foot on the ball and put it about a bit.

Cheers. Does anyone know what Forest's stadium is expandable to in FM? I read recently that The City ground could be expanded to 46,000 should the board decide to do that or they might decide to go down the new 50,000 stadium route in a few years time.

It seems that in game, there isn't normally any expansion of the City Ground. I've got a 52000 seater stadium being built on mine (for some lovely reason), but I have seen the ground being expanded before in game.

Not seen too many mentions of Tyson. I'd have thought he'd have done well in L1 at least and possibly a decent backup in the Championship.

As above, he's moaning on my game so I'm trying to bring him back to Wycombe. He's not getting played much and wants to leave, but Forest want around £400k (I have around £70k!). How much have people sold him for?

"Nathan Tyson - what a bargain!"

What formation should i play with Forest in CCL1?

With a budget of only 150k who should i buy/loan for Forest in CCL1?

Thanks in advance

Forest till I die- I played 442 and came 2nd if that helps

Greetings for all forest gamers

My advices after first season with this team:

<LI>Try to convert Wilson to FB and Davies to S

davies

<LI>The current squad is more than enough to get promotion

table

transfers

<LI>Play Tyson because he is a bloody good goalscorer!

tyson

<LI>4-1-3-2 is the best working formation for the squad with quick and short passes

It is nearly impossible to keep Nathan Tyson past his 2 year contract! I bought Michael Mifsud for 190k and he has scored 26 goals in 1 season for me in the Prem. My second top scorer is Patrik Lomski with only 6

Just nearly

He has just signed for me (second season) until 2012. It wasn't easy, but I have to say I am his favourite personell

Btw Tyson can score in CCC as well he's got 16 from 20 or something...

I thought I'd bump this thread back up.I'm starting a new game with Nottm Forest.I will post my transfers up soon.

Thought I'd chip in with an update on my Forest Game. Firstly, am lovin it, Forest represent a good mix between lower league challenge but potential etc that doesn't get you sacked or too frustrated !

Am in my fifth season and established as a mid to top Prem side.

Of the initial top Forest players eg Tyson, Commons etc only Commons and McGugan are still getting rotational games for me in the Prem (and McGugan is only there coz he's home grown and I need him in Europe :-)

Marius Niculae has become a Forest legend having joined me in the Championship for quarter of a mil. He's a legend who's still performing ok in the Prem at 32 y/o.

Tales was a great signing. Preston Edwards, Millan worked out well for much cheapness too.

Am now getting transfer budgets of 20 + mil a season so able to get top-ish players in !

Tyson is a pain in the wotsit. And doesn't cut the mustard in the top league anyway, although he got me out the 1st div almost single handedly ! Wilson was ok but sort of found out at the top level.

Enjoy !

Anyone here be able to help me out with Forest? I'm on the new patch(8.0.2) and looking for any recommendations please.
