The 1st game of the season. Or the earliest one I remember. Vs Norwich.
Forest went at them with energy. Aggression. Attack!
Put some rockets and missiles past Norwich.

The difference was back then we had one of the better squads in the division with the spending power to match. We aren’t in that bracket anymore.
Exactly. £12m spending spree to add to a team that just got relegated. Not spent hardly anything and sold best player from a squad that's been second tier for nigh on a dozen years. Absolutely absurd comparison.
Not absurd at all. Forest were down and out when they got relegated.
Forest were never a rich club. But they'd make signings of real class in key positions. Bassett understood this division. And the style of play needed to get out of it. And the kind of signings to get out of it. That you need to battle to get out of it.
Today's performance was. Absurd. Against Barnie at that.
