  Doug Scott's evocative, eloquent autobiography contains many well observed memories of growing up in Charlbury Road, Wollaton with his parents and younger brothers. His descriptions of life in the '40s and '50s are likely to resonate with many readers of the Post's Bygones pages. As a teenager his mum Joyce visited a fortune-teller who told her she would marry a man in uniform with shiny buttons and have three sons. What's more the eldest son would be in a trouble in a shelter, very high...

  15-11-2015 18:56
  
  I've always had a go at Nottingham Forest players when they've played badly, but they were brilliant against Derby County. It was one of the best Forest performances for a long, long time. And there's no reason why they can't do it again. No reason why they can't keep it up. They can do it. It's down to the application and the attitude of the players. If they lose their next few games, that Derby game was for nothing. We're not going to score three or four goals, so we have to go to...

  I bet it has been a hellish week for the players at Notts County.They will want to get back out on the pitch and put that FA Cup performance against Salford City behind them because it was nothing short of an embarrassment.They need to put a shift in against Northampton.But I'm not sure if they've got enough players to do that every week. It looks like they need one or two more additions.Roy Carroll is not a bad goalkeeper but the back-four, that's the problem. It's letting them down.I'm sure...

  15-11-2015 14:09
  
  Liam Trotter extending his loan is a good acquisition for Nottingham Forest. He got a goal on his debut, so he's got a better ratio than a lot of players. But he is very similar to Henri Lansbury, although Trotter does get forward more – like he did when he scored against Ipswich. He was on the bench against Derby County, though, and I would think Dougie Freedman has got to be looking at Trotter (pictured) as a sub, someone to come on for the last ten or 15 minutes. He's quite a big...

Battling a sore throat he bravely battled on to the end with the amazing Shell Naylor taking on more work as the gig progressed. We were treated to just over an hour from the musical maestro and his nine-piece band but you can't begrudge what these days most likely passes for a short set: every track's a...

  Approaching Rock City, I was prepared for the usual elements of a sold out gig - lots of pushing, sweat and probably coming home covered in some form of ale that I didn't really like. All three of those things happened, unfortunately though, it didn't really feel worth it. Whilst the rest of the tour has experienced a super fancy live show, due to some restrictions with the venue we didn't get that. And this definitely weakened the impact of The 1975's performance on Friday night. The band...
