[edit] Pre-season and friendliesIn preparation for the 2009-10 campaign, Forest released 7 fringe players. Richard Tait, Hamza Bencherif, Liam Hook, Tom Sharpe, Ryan Whitehurst, Emile Sinclair and Paddy Gamble were all released with Sinclair the only player to make first team appearances.[1]. Ian Breckin was also told he would play no part next season. Another 3 fringe players were given new contracts, Mickael Darnet, Shane Redmond and Arron Mitchell.[2]. Forest then signed three players in two days in late June. Striker David McGoldrick signed for £1m from Southampton [3], whilst fellow striker Dele Adebola rejected a new contract offer from Bristol City to sign a two-year deal for The Reds[4]. As well as this, winger Paul Anderson signed a three-year deal for £250,000 from Liverpool, after spending the previous season on loan at The Reds.[5]. Goalkeeper Lee Camp became Forest's fourth signing of the summer on July 3, signing for £150,000 from QPR, with the highly-rated keeper committing himself to a four-year deal with the club..[6]. Youngsters Shane Redmond and James Reid headed out of the City Ground for six-month loans to Burton Albion and Rushden & Diamonds respectively on 7 July. [7]. Forest announced a day later that their shirt sponsors for the season would be gaming company Victor Chandler, with the one-year contract seeing Forest receive a substantial six-figure sum. [8]. On Thursday 16 July, Forest announced their full list of squad numbers for the 09/10 season. [9] The Reds then kicked off their pre-season campaign with a 1-0 victory over Portuguese outfit Sporting Lisbon, with Paul Anderson netting the winner in the 79th minute for Forest. [10]. A week later Forest sent out two teams to play Burton Albion and Ilkeston Town. The first team beat Burton 4-1 with McGoldrick netting his first goal and Tyson bagging a hat-trick, whilst a young and inexperienced team lost 2-1 to Ilkeston, Tim Hopkinson scoring a late consolation penalty. [11]. On 20 July Nottingham Forest completed the signings of Chris Gunter and Paul McKenna for £1.75 million and £750,000 respectively. Mark Byrne was also sent out on loan to Rushden and Diamonds for six months[12]. On the 21st of July a deal was completed to bring back Joel Lynch[13], who spent a large amount of time on loan at Forest last season. Along with Forest's payment of around £200,000, Matt Thornhill was sent out on loan to Brighton & Hove Albion for 6 months[14]. On the 22nd of July Forest signed Dexter Blackstock from QPR for on a 4 year deal[15]. This bolstered Davies' attacking options to six strikers. They continued their spending on the 22nd by bringing in Polish Midfielder Radoslaw Majewski on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy him included[16]. Later that day Forest sent 2 teams out in pre-season friendly's, one to face Rotherham United, the other to face Rushden and Diamonds. The first team squad was mixed between the 2 matches as one side beat Rotherham 1-0[17] with Earnshaw's first goal of the pre-season while the other drew 1-1 with Diamonds[18] thanks to a goal from Majewski on his debut scored after just 90 seconds. Three days later was the traditional match between Forest and local rivals Notts County, who has just been taken over by the Munto Finance group. The result was 2-1 to County[19] despite late pressure from Forest that saw McGugan get a goal, this surprised many people who had expected Forest to easily win. Forest finished their pre-season fixtures with two impressive results at home against Premier League opposition. The first a 1-1 draw against Stoke City[20] and the second, two days later, a 2-1 victory against Birmingham City[21]. [edit] Results
[edit] Championship[edit] AugustForest began the season with a 0-0 draw at Reading, the same as their previous season. Forest then picked up their first win of the season a few days later with a 3-0 victory in the Carling Cup over League Two Bradford City, with Paul Anderson, Dexter Blackstock and Lewis McGugan all getting their names onto the scoresheet. However, their first home league game of the season ended in a 1-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion, due to an own goal by Wes Morgan and Robert Earnshaw missed a penalty for Forest. Forest then suffered their second home defeat of the week, a 4-2 loss against Watford. The following Saturday saw Forest pick up a point in a 1-1 draw away to Q.P.R, with a goal from David McGoldrick in the second half. The next fixture was a midweek Carling Cup tie against Middlesbrough at the City Ground. Forest won 2-1 after extra time, after Chambers scored from a corner in the 60th minute and Radoslaw Majewski scored his first goal for Forest in the 103 minute. Middlesbrough had not conceded before this season. Next up was the East Midlands Derby against rivals Derby County F.C. Forest were looking to beat Derby for the first time since 2002, and they got off to a perfect start when Majewski fired the Reds in front after just 58 seconds. And Forest made it 2-0 after 28 minutes, Dexter Blackstock with the goal. Nathan Tyson made it 3-0, just three minutes before half time. However Derby were not done yet when a Wes Morgan own goal and Jake Livermore goal had Derby back into the game. Forest held onto the win but it was after the game that made the headlines with Nathan Tyson taunting the away fans with a corner fan he had been using to celebrate the Forest win. Derby players and staff clashed with Forest players and staff. Both clubs plus Tyson are now charged with improper conduct by the FA. As of October 12th no bans or fines have been handed out but the results of the FA investigation are due any day now. [edit] SeptemberSeptember started with consecutive 1-1 draws against Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town. However Forest were then up against high-flying Blackpool and suffered a 1-0 defeat before going out of the Carling Cup by the same scoreline to Blackburn Rovers. But a 1-0 win over struggling Plymouth Argyle gave Forest a new lease of life and they made it consecutive wins after a 2-0 win over Scunthorpe United. [edit] OctoberForest moved up to 10th place, their highest position in the Football League since the 2003/04 season, after a 2-1 victory over Darren Ferguson's, Peterborough United. Forest then defeated Newcastle United, who were then in second place in the table, at home to gain their fourth consecutive win and consign the Toon to only their second defeat of the season. An injury-time winner from Guy Moussi saw Forest to their fifth-consecutive win, against Barnsley at home. However after this Moussi was sent off for a second bookable offence, for celebrating with the Forest fans in the Trent End. Forest ended the month with a 1-1 draw away at Crystal Palace after coming from behind. [edit] NovemberThe month started where it left with two 1-1 draws against Cardiff City and Bristol City. Lewis McGugan rescued a point with an injury-time equaliser against Cardiff, with Wes Morgan scoring a late goal against Bristol, who pulled level later in the game. The next match saw Forest play Middlesbrough away. An early goal from the home team saw Forest on the back foot but a free kick in second half from Robert Earnshaw saw Forest to their fourth-successive 1-1 draw. The week after Forest introduced a 'mixed area' of fans, where fans of both Forest and Doncaster could sit together. After selling out this allocation, they went onto to record their biggest win of the season, at that stage, with a 4-1 victory. This also saw Nicky Shorey make his debut for the Reds.
