Motherwell v Forest

He picked up a fracture at the end of the season.

I think there's a bit too much sentimentality around Darlow. He did a good job, but it would've been dangerous to go into such a big season with only him and Rashidi. Both still unproven.

Half Time: 1-0 Forest

"I think there's a bit too much sentimentality around Darlow."


Fair point, I'm guilty of that, but I also think he's ready for a full season.

If we get promoted, we'll probably go out and buy another keeper, so he'll be even more marginalised, and his chance will have gone, so this could have been a massive season for Karl.

Derbyshire again

Wow, I know it is onl;y pre-season but the guy is obviously trying to take his chance.

Real test starts next Saturday though, but have be impressed with the commitment and effort he has put in so will certainly give him another chance!

Thought Darlow would have been NO.1 but typical Billy mixes it up again so not sure who it will be now starting next Saturday.

Would still expect Darlow and will probs see De Vries on Tuesday in the capital one cup.

Really looking forward to this season though, hopefully we can finally do it!

"Danny Collins misjudges a long ball and almost allows McHugh through. Fortunately, the ball runs through to de Vries."

Useless like a Midget with a yo-yo....

BTW.... Attendance this evening is 2,230 with 196 Forest fans.

Hopefully bring Wilson and holt home on the plane tonight!

OMG...Harding come on.....at right back.

Damn 1-1 ...Bob McHugh

Full time: Motherwell 1 - Forest 1
