  13-12-2015 22:10
  
  Skipper Henri Lansbury's all-round contribution to Nottingham Forest's revival in form is going unrecognised, says boss Dougie Freedman. The Reds manager had told the midfielder he must improve his all-round game if he is to lead the side to success. But Freedman feels Lansbury is doing exactly that, as he adopts a slightly more defensive role than he had previously been accustomed to alongside David Vaughan in the heart of the Forest side. And, as the Reds prepare to face Blackburn in...

The former Arsenal man played with a swagger; with a focus set firmly on scoring goals.By the end of the campaign, he had contributed 11 of them. At one stage, he scored five in five games, as a purple patch of individual and team form saw Forest claim 13 points from 15 with Lansbury in the side, immediately following the arrival of Dougie Freedman as manager. This season, Lansbury has...

Along with Noble, McLeod struck two goals to help Notts County come from 2-0 down to secure a stunning 4-3 win over Newport. His goals came just two weeks after he was jeered and taunted with "what a waste of money" by some fans in the away end unhappy with his performance in the 3-1 defeat at Cambridge.

  Stood on the touchline in a rather sartorially elegant jacket, you could have forgiven Ricardo Moniz for wanting to pull its hood over his face after 25 minutes. Two-nil down, passes going astray and chants of "what a load of rubbish" made for a grim experience for the Dutchman, whose side are usually so strong at Meadow Lane. Newport's Mark Byrne and Alex Rodman shattered their defences however and what transpired was the biggest test of character Notts have faced all season. In...

The Sherwood resident said her style was "functional and sensible". But Yolanda bravely let a team of experts loose on her, giving the 43-year-old a fabulous make-over. She was transformed from...

  It was approximately ten minutes past three when Alex Rodman had put Newport County 2-0 up and verbal fire and brimstone rained down on Meadow Lane. Those fans based in the Kop have never been afraid to vent their frustrations, but this must have set a new record in terms of how quickly tempers had become frayed. It manifested itself in a chant of "what a load of rubbish" which although an archaic terrace ditty, it is the most merciless in the hymn book when judging a team's...
