Give up, Clueless. You're flogging a dead horse

Will someone wake me up when the season's over, please? The end just can't come soon enough, whether we have made it into the play-offs or not.

I didn't expect us to beat Walsall, given that we hadn't managed a victory against them in ten attempts, and there wasn't anything really surprising about the way we played, as we all now know what to expect under Deadwood by now, but Walsall were really quite poor, especially in the first half, and they got a lucky equaliser courtesy of Kelvin Wilson, and yet more dodgy goalkeeping from Paul Smith. They hadn't really looked like scoring until then, and when we took the lead through on-loan Brett Ormerod, it looked like there would only be one winner, but the lead lasted only three minutes, and then it all got rather desperate and scrappy, especially when Deadwood elected to play FOUR strikers, bringing on Junior Agogo and Grant Holt, and sacrificing midfielders Chris Cohen and Matt Thornhill, who had both had good games. We really didn't need four players up front. Not surprisingly, we lost our shape when the substitutions were made. Perhaps I could understand playing four up front if we were something like 4-0 down, but it was 1-1, and we only needed one goal! The phrase 'too many cooks spoil the broth' comes to mind.

At the end of the match, for the first time this season at a home game, we could hear 'Calderwood out' chants. I don't know a single Forest fan who still supports him, except Nigel Doughty, maybe. But who knows what he's thinking? We never hear from him. I don't even bother listening to Deadwood's interviews on the radio any more. He is so boring and predicable and says the same things every time. 'I'm so proud of the players,' he said last night. What? After drawing 1-1 at home against a side that had just lost their last two home games? This man is mental. I just can't stand it any longer. He is absolutely terrible. Why is it so hard for him to pick a 4-4-2 formation, defenders in defence, midfielders in midfield, and strikers up front? As Cloughie so rightly once said: 'Football's a simple game made complicated by idiots.' How come 20,000 Forest fans know what to do, and he doesn't? I just can't understand it. It makes me want to tear my hair out, it really does. I am so flaming angry with these idiots who are ripping Forest apart, and I feel completely helpless that I can do nothing about it.

I'm looking forward to the Northampton game on Friday night – not for the football, but hopefully be part of a crowd that really gets on Deadwood's back, and the home supporters are bound to join in. They really can help us out by highlighting how rubbish Deadwood is. They are in League One, after all, thanks to him, and yet they think he's an idiot just as much as we do. Northampton are in really good form right now, having just beaten Swansea, and victory over Forest would put them within touching distance of the play-offs, whilst simultaneously hammering another nail into their former manager's coffin.
