    Another injury setback for Andy.

    Andy Reid: Nottingham Forest midfielder needs surgery

    "needs an operation on his groin injury and may not return until March."

    How important Reid is to Nottingham Forest:

    http://www.sportsjoe.ie/football/inf...-to-them/11154

    An interesting insight as to the the personal conflict surrounding how best to deal with a troublesome injury. Does he risk coming back and risking a reoccurance after one or two games or does he take the surgery route? Reid finally elected to have a surgery. Hopefully he will finally be fit and healthy in March and Nottingham Forest will still be in the promotion shake up.

    Still in the promotion shake up? They'll be doing well to stay clear of the bottom three with the form they're in!

    Stuart Pearce sacked at Forest, I think it would be fair to say Andy Reid's injury cost him his job,
    Forest are pretty useless without him.

    Mind yuo Pearce has hardly worked miracle in his absence, they could hardly be doing any worse.

    Transfer embargo and severe loan restrictions have scuttled Forest who were in good shape before the 3 main injuries. Hard to tell in those circumstances how Pearce did. We can see how the next guy does under similar circumstances.

    Forest are riding the crest of a wave.
    Whoever doubted Dougie's credentials for this job or had any doubt that Pearce was anything other than useless?

    They were also riding the crest of a wave at this stage of Pearce's tenure.

    Wonder how long forests good run will last? It looked great under Pearce initially but it was not
    too long before the wheels fell off the wagon.

    I think Freedman may be a better manager tactically than Pearce was, that seems to be the consesus,
    however it is still early days.

    Forest still have feint promotion hopes.

    A blip or history repeating itself? Here's a comparison of Freedman's first seven games compared to Pearce:

    PLD 7 W 5 D 2 L 0 F 17 A 07 GD +10 PTS 17 (PEARCE)
    PLD 7 W 5 D 1 L 1 F 20 A 10 GD +10 PTS 16 (FREEDMAN)

    Would have been practically identical if Forest had drawn last night. Here's Tony Watt making sure they didn't!

    Nottingham Forest's 35th best player of all time.

    35. Andy Reid

    When he first made the breakthrough into the first team, at the age of just 18, some compared him to John Robertson.

    Andy Reid has not gone on to have quite the same kind of impact as the legendary European Cup winning winger (who has?) but he has done enough to earn his own place in Nottingham Forest folklore.

    The teenager's trickery, comfort on the ball and eye for a pass immediately marked him out as a young man with potential.

    And there were undoubted similarities with Robertson, both physical and in terms of his poise in possession.

    Some would argue that Reid has never quite reached the heights his natural ability might have taken him to.

    But, in two spells with the Reds, he has demonstrated his quality on a consistent basis, while twice becoming a truly vital cog in the Forest machine.

    Reid's first team opportunities became more frequent once Paul Hart – previously his mentor within the youth ranks – had taken over from David Platt.

    And Reid became a key figure in the push for the play-offs, under Hart, whether he was playing out on the left or handed a play-maker role in the centre of the pitch.

    Having established himself as a regular for Ireland, it was no surprise when a club in the top tier came calling and, in January 2005, Reid moved to Spurs in a joint £8m deal with Michael Dawson.

    Reid never properly established himself as a first team regular at White Hart Lane, partly due to a knee ligament injury that hampered his progress. He did make more of an impact at firstly Charlton and then Sunderland, before a short ill-fated move to Blackpool.

    A return to Forest was perfect for Reid and perfect for the club; with his homecoming an inspiration for both parties.

    Maturer and perhaps wiser, Reid had been in the shape of his career and he once more become an integral figure within the team; a leader and an inspiration – prior to yet more injury misfortune.

    A groin problem basically wrote him off last season and fans will hope that there is another chapter still to come in his Forest story, under Dougie Freedman.

    Where does one Mr. R. Keane come ? Not much of a kudo for Andy if Peter Grummit can finish ahead of him. Owls goalkeeper when they were relegated back in the 1970s I think.

    Wow that goes back a long way!!

    Tinsley Lindley "His England call-up came on 13 March 1886...."

    Seems they are doing 5 a day or something like that, dunno who will be number 1, certainly not Roy Keane, might be Trevor Francis,
    but then who know what wizard was playing for Forest in the 17th Century!!

    He only played for Forest for a couple of years though, they would probably go for someone longer serving.

    My bet for No. 1 would be Miah Dennehy but if not Stuart Pearce followed by Francis or any one of the European Cup winning team (e.g. Robertson, Shilton, Viv Anderson) not to mention Des Walker or Gemmill. I'd say Keane will be 9 or 10 ish.

    Obviously a lot if the European Cup winning teams will occupy the top 20. They really should have just done a top 40, they're kind of drawing attention to their mediocrity when they have to scrape Jermain Jenas off the bottom of the barrel! Pearce, Walker, Keane and Collymore all candidates for top 20 as well, in fact Pearce will probably make top 2 or 3. Ian Woan, Steve Stone and even Pierre Van Hooijdonk were decent performers during the 90's, in the context of some who have already made the list. A guess at the top five, in no particular order, would be Shilton, Robertson, Pearce, Francis and Gemmill, but I could be forgetting somebody really obvious.

    Nigel Clough, Peter Davenport, maybe even Neil Webb could all push Tommy Gaynor off the list. There's gratitude for you.
