Last updated : 31 March 2005 By Mr_mushroom
MM: How long have you been a Forest supporter?
CD: Since I was 3 years old I suppose. I sat on my fathers shoulders in the 1960's

MM: Have you seen them play recently?
CD: I managed to get to the Leeds and Wigan games but was saddened by the general standard of play. For instance, when we defending corners, we would pack 10 men around our goal and not leave anyone forward at all.

MM: What was your favorite Forest era?
CD: Obviously, the great days when we played in Europe and in whet was the old First division. In the 1970's I can remember crowds of 40 odd thousand regularly - even for mid-week matches.

MM: Where do you think the wheels started coming off for Forest?
CD: I have to say that part of the problem stems from the time that David Platt was manager. We spent so much money on new players, I think that squad numbers went up to almost 50. However, I think the present management team have got the debts down to about £20m from £70m.

MM: Who is your favourate Forest player of all time?
CD: Without a doubt Ian Storey-Moore - he was an outstanding left winger.

MM: How do you think Forest will approach Saturdays game?
CD: They will play a 4-5-1 formation and pack their defence leaving a lone striker up front. 

MM: Any other comments?
CD: I think one of the two clubs will be relegated - and I wouldn't like to guess which.

MM: Result?

CD: 1-1
