Forest have won it 4 times. Only Villa of the sides in the draw have won it more. Bring it on!

Good draw big gate and a chance of a win if they rest a few 1st teamers.

Last time I saw us play Forest at home we were top of what is now the championship they fought hard for a 0-0 draw.

After witnessing the shíte their u23s turn out in the form of Danny Preston & Virgil Gomis, I’d fancy our chances against their stiffs.

It'll definitely be a mix of Forest reserves and youths, most clubs don't care about cup competitions anymore, even clubs at our level. I wonder if Jesse Lingard had a clause in his rumoured 200 grand a week contract that he doesn't have to play against any club below the Premier? The games's gone.

Still hope it's a full house, on telly and a giant killing mind.

Quoted from Tommy


There's still the FA Cup as well


This is also true. I think I had visions of beating someone like Rochdale comfortably at home in the next round before finally getting that draw at the Theatre of Screams. Town/Man U must be up there for the record number of years clubs have spent together in the football league without having played one another. And some mammary inevitably bangs on about it every season (my turn). I imagine they're just as keen for it! 😂

Anyway, Forest is a cracking draw,, really looking forward to it. Living in Lincoln, got a few mates who are Forest fans so the build up should be decent

Last time I saw us play Forest in a competitive game, it was away at the City Ground and the Paul Creighton goalkeeper bloomer.

Hands up who was there? And what was the year?


Time to resurrect my Fishy signature again. So here goes.

Well, if they do come with a mixed team i reckon we have a real chance, i know recently they played Notts Couinty and only drew 2-2, presumably with a mixed team , so bring em on!


I know prem teams don't take cups seriously these days but I doubt they will play lasses

I was there, ended up 5-3 to Forest right? Possibly 1993, maybe?

Yeah I was. Lost 5-3 didn't we? 1993 I think when the backpass rule had just been introduced.

Am I right in thinking it was a viciously-struck backpass from Futch? Well, I say viciously-struck, but I actually mean gently-rolled.
