  Nottingham Forest will abandon their free-flowing football and get ugly in an effort to end their frustrating run in the Championship, says manager Dougie Freedman. The Reds boss was "as frustrated as he ever has been" after seeing his side again spurn a host of fine opportunities to kill off Brentford, before seeing the home side display exactly the kind of ruthlessness they lacked to claim an unlikely three points. Defeat against the ten-man Bees – who had seen Harlee Dean...

• Nottingham Post published Notts County did not deserve to lose, says boss Ricardo Moniz

  22-11-2015 22:05
  
  Notts County boss Ricardo Moniz believes his side did not deserve to lose to Northampton Town, as the Cobblers inflicted rare home misery on the Magpies. Moniz's side were beaten 2-1 by the crisis-hit Cobblers. Rod McDonald put them ahead in the 31st minute before Jon Stead levelled for Notts shortly after half-time. But former Notts defender Brendan Moloney netted a late goal from outside the box. "Based on the second half, we didn't deserve to lose,but we were naive in the...

  22-11-2015 21:40
  
  Stewart Imlach, fleet-footed left-winger in Nottingham Forest's FA Cup winning team, played in an era when football stars were working class heroes. Proud to be a professional footballer, he was Mr Perpetual Motion in the 1959 final when the Reds were down to ten men. He was everywhere, defending, attacking, tackling, heading and passing. The scope of his performance that day earned him a man of the match vote. Imlach played for local sides in Lossiemouth in Scotland before heading south to...

  "I have learnt that the players have a massive say in a manager's success or failure. It is all about the players and the way that they respond. You can get them organised and set-up for a game – but as soon as they go over the white line, it is down to them." Lee Carsley's managerial experience stretches to less than two months, but that is sufficient time for him to have learnt a significant lesson that will hold painful resonance for his opposite number at Nottingham...

  Nottingham Rugby were beaten 19-7 at home by the Cornish Pirates in their second British and Irish Cup pool match, despite mounting a mini second half fightback. Both sides made a host of changes for the clash at Lady Bay, but it was the visitors who produced a more polished performance, giving them hope that when they return to league action they can haul themselves off the bottom of the Championship. For Nottingham, who drew at Cardiff Blues in the cup the weekend before, it was a second...

  As has been the custom for every home game this season, Notts County's players made the slow walk to the Kop at the final whistle to applaud the fans for their support. Those who remained offered a lukewarm response, but most had decided it was too cold to hang around to appreciate the efforts of a performance which hardly warmed the soul. The fans have becomeused to notlosing at Meadow Lane this season and their own stadium has often provided solace from a quite frankly appalling away...

  Lee Carsley admitted victory over Nottingham Forest would be his managerial swansong at Brentford, with Pep Clotet – currently number two at Swansea – set to be confirmed as the new Bees boss in the near future. Carsley saw his side notch up an unlikely win over the Reds, having been reduced to ten men by the sending off of Harlee Dean in the 70th minute. But they still managed to scramble a 96th minute winner through substitute Philipp Hofmann. The former midfielder has done a...

  Comedienne Caroline Reid aka Pam Ann (Queen of the Sky) is the air hostess with the mostest and it ain't subtle. This brassy Australian artiste is acerbic comedy old style where anyone and anything is fodder for her comedy cannon, including ISIS. Pam Ann is not afraid to ridicule all and sundry verbally, with her barbed wit and regularly flies across some risky contemporary routes that meeker comics might find offensive.

  Jon Stead believes "little mistakes" are the only problem stopping Notts County from charging towards the League Two play-offs. The Magpies were beaten 2-1 by Northampton at the weekend as they failed to bounce back from their FA Cup defeat to Salford little over a fortnight ago. Ricardo Moniz's side had fought back to cancel out Rod McDonald's header in the first half through Stead's classy finish early after the break.

  People will look at Nottingham Forest conceding an injury time winner at Brentford and say it's a sickener or even it was unlucky as they played well. I'll tell you what it is – it's unprofessional, it's amateurish. Amateurish because the goal came against an average team with ten men. Forest had fallen behind after having a load of shots on goal again. They got back in it through Henri Lansbury after Brentford had a man sent off, but then they go and let a goal in after 95...

• NottmPostEG published Nottingham Bach Choir, St Mary's Church, Nottingham: Review

  22-11-2015 10:28
  
  The Bach Choir deserves applause for including Holst's Hymn of Jesus in their Saturday night programme. It is hardly ever performed, partly because of its awkward length (20 minutes or so) and partly because it is very challenging to sing. Disembodied, intangible and mystical were all words which featured in the concert's programme notes, all suggesting a rarified spiritual atmosphere. However, there was relatively little for the choir to sink its collective teeth into. The dramatic...

Perched at his piano, he launches into a non-stop extravaganza of delightfully diverse jazz, blues, swing, reggae and ska. Backed by a fusion of 15 talented musicians, he delivers an infectious mixture of standards alongside his own material, all...

T'Pau's Carol Decker, Go West and Nik Kershaw joined forces for this Royal Concert Hall retro-fest and, considering they can only boast...

Made some telling blocks in the second half. 6/10 Mike Edwards: Did a solid job alongside Alan Sheehan in the heart of the defence and always puts his bundle in. 6/10 Thierry Audel: Not...

  The day Billy Walker died, aged 67, in 1964, Nottingham Forest won 2-0 at Blackpool. Nothing would have pleased the legendary manager more. Although he was a West Midlands man by birth, he came to love Nottingham and the City Ground where he served as manager and then committee member for more than 20 years. When he retired, he stayed close by, relaxing into Notts village life. He was the man who steered Forest to promotion, not once but twice, and then took them to FA Cup triumph, a feat...
