Letzter Spieltag in der 2. Liga - die Reds treffen auf Cardiff City
Zum Gegner aus Wales: Cardiff City (offiziell: Cardiff City Association Football Club) - auch bekannt als The Bluebirds - ist ein walisischer Fußball-Verein aus Cardiff. Gegründet wurde er 1899 als Fußballabteilung des „Riverside Cricket Club Cardiff“. Die Vereinsfarben sind blau-weiß. Der Verein spielt aktuell in der Football League Championship, der zweithöchsten englischen Spielklasse. Das Heimatstadion des Clubs war bis 2009 der Ninian Park, seitdem ist es das Cardiff City Stadium. Neben diversen walisischen Pokalsiegen sind die größten Erfolge der Gewinn des FA Cups am 23. April 1927 mit 1:0 gegen den FC Arsenal (als bisher einziger walisischer Verein) und die englische Vizemeisterschaft 1924. Im Europapokal der Pokalsieger 1967/68 erreichte Cardiff das Halbfinale. Zur Saison 2007/08 erreichte man nach 84 Jahren zum dritten Mal in der Vereinsgeschichte das Finale des FA Cup 2007/08. Dort trafen sie auf den FC Portsmouth. Das Spiel ging nach einem Torwartfehler mit 0:1 verloren. Der 16. April 2013 war ein historischer Tag für Cardiff City. Durch ein 0:0 gegen Charlton Athletic sicherte man sich bereits am 43. Spieltag vorzeitig den Aufstieg in die Premier League. Cardiff spielt damit nach 51 Jahren das erste Mal wieder in der höchsten englischen Spielklasse. Aufstiegstrainer Malky Mackay musste im Dezember desselben Jahres aber bereits seinen Platz räumen. Der Entlassung ging eine wochenlange Debatte voraus, in der Fans des Vereins als auch Kollegen aus der Premier League ihre Solidarität mit Mackay bekundeten, nachdem Tan immer wieder den Rauswurf Mackays angedeutet hatte. Als Interimslösung trat sein Assistent David Kerslake die Nachfolge an. Am 2. Januar 2014 wurde der Norweger Ole Gunnar Solskjær als neuer Teammanager vorgestellt. Cardiff City verlor am vorletzten Spieltag 0:3 gegen Newcastle United, wodurch der Wiederabstieg in die Football League Championship besiegelt wurde. (Quellenangabe: Wikipedia.org)

So, damit ist die diesjährige Championship gelaufen, für Nottingham Forest unterm Strich eine doch ernüchternde Saison, in der man sich vor Beginn sicherlich deutlich mehr erhofft hatte, als einen unteren Platz im Mittelfeld. Phasenweise lief es wirklich ordentlich, doch dann kamen immer wieder Aussetzer, viele Spiele in Serie ohne Sieg und eklatant auch die ständige Unterlegenheit beim Ballbesitz.

SPIELER DES MONATS
Nottingham Forest supporters have until 12pm tomorrow (Wednesday) to vote for their The Bed Chambers Player of the Month for April.
The Reds endured a disappointing month in terms of results but there were a number of outstanding individual performances, in particular from two of the younger members of the Forest squad.
Michail Antonio
Having been a virtual ever-present in the Forest side this season, Antonio enjoyed another strong month in April including a superb individual display in the 3-3 draw at Blackburn Rovers. After nodding in Modou Barrow’s cross to bring The Reds level early on, Antonio netted an excellent low strike with just two minutes remaining to ensure Forest took a share of the spoils away from Ewood Park.
Tyler Walker
With injuries to Britt Assombalonga, Dexter Blackstock and Matty Fryatt affecting the Forest strikeforce, Walker was handed an opportunity to make a name for himself in attack. He wasted little time after stepping off the bench at Griffin Park earlier in the month where he put Forest in front against promotion-chasing Brentford by controlling a long ball over the top and smashing home a low effort past the home goalkeeper.
Eric Lichaj
Always a popular member of the Forest squad among the supporters, Lichaj once again produced a month of consistent displays which also highlighted his versatility as he made appearances on both sides of the back four. The American was able to deal with the attacking threat from promotion contenders Wolves, Watford and Ipswich during April and received deserved recognition from the fans.
Ben Osborn
A year on from making his debut for the club, Osborn has continued to show maturity beyond his years to compete against the more experienced David Vaughan, Henri Lansbury and Gary Gardner for a midfield berth. The young midfielder delivered an excellent cross to provide Todd Kane with Forest’s second goal at Brentford earlier in the month and has shown that there is plenty more to come from him in 2015-16.
Gary Gardner
Arguably one of the club’s most popular loan signings over recent years, Gardner has turned in a number of fantastic performances at the heart of the Forest midfield with his talent on the ball and his tenaciousness in the tackle. The on-loan Aston Villa man also curled in a sublime free-kick in the game against Watford to add to his showreel of superb strikes at The City Ground.

Nottingham U21 VS. Swansea City U 21
FT 3:3
Jorge Grant scored a stunning goal as Nottingham Forest’s Under 21s were knocked out on penalties in the play-off semi-final after a 3-3 draw with Swansea City.
The Reds took a two-goal lead in the first half with goals from Grant and James Thorne, but were pegged back in the second period and it took a strike from Alex Iacovitti in the closing stages of second-half extra-time to send the tie into penalties.
And the latter saw his penalty devastatingly stopped to ensure the Welsh side ran out 5-4 penalty winners past a spirited Forest Under 21s side who can still boast the Professional Development League Two North title after a fantastic season.
Jimmy Gilligan made five changes to the side that beat Barnsley 3-2 at Oakwell in their final league outing of the season, with Dimitar Evtimov, Ilias Polimos, Josh Rees, Jorge Grant and Tyler Walker all coming into the side.
The Reds came into the game on the back of one defeat in 18 games, and that showed early on as they sprung into life. James Thorne found a pacey Oliver Burke who curled in a teasing cross that was well cleared by Alex Gogic.
Forest set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Walker up front on his own, supported by Burke, Grant and Thorne just behind. And the hosts took the lead on nine minutes.
Grant collected the ball in space 25 yards out and unleashed a piledriver into the bottom corner past an outstretched Oliver Davies in the Swansea net. Forest’s dogged pressing frustrated the visitors in possession, as they got little success in behind.
Raheem Hanley delivered a cross from the left in a rare foray forward which was well held by keeper Dimitar Evtimov. Shortly afterwards, captain Henry Jones saw an opportunity to strike but hid long range effort flew over.
Despite growing gradually into the game Swansea weren’t creating any clear-cut chances to threaten and they were punished midway through the first period. Grant turned provider this time, executing an excellent inswinging free-kick for Thorne to head back across goal and into the corner.
And the same pair were involved again as Grant sent in another free-kick from further out, but Thorne could only head this one onto the roof of the net under pressure. Walker came close to adding a third after bringing the ball down superbly, but the striker was smothered rapidly by keeper Davies.
Grant got in on the action once again, shrewdly passing inside for Burke who fired powerfully goal-bound, but Davies was on hand to make a save. Burke then broke with deadly speed to ghost the defender and cross for Walker, who controlled well but struck tamely at Davies.
Swansea, who finished second in Professional Development League Two South and pipped to the title by Crystal Palace, were looking composed in possession as the first period drew to a close but weren’t worrying the Forest backline, as Joe Worrall and Roger Riera remained unfazed.
Polimos threaded a ball through for Burke approaching the 18-yard-box, but his sliding pass was desperately cleared away as the Reds looked to end the half in ruthless fashion.
Forest began the second half in the same vein as the first as Walker had a shot blocked and Grant’s cross nearly found its way past a nervy Swans’ keeper who let it trickle under his body.
Admirable approach play from the visitors saw them have a sighter of goal, however they failed to capitalise with Jay Futton’s effort going well wide of Evtimov’s right-hand post.
Thorne could’ve had his second of the match cutting inside from the left, but his long range thunderous effort was spilled out for a corner by Davies who was struggling to handle in the slippy conditions. Futton escaped a couple of Forest defenders before having his shot blocked and cleared for a corner.
Gilligan was forced into his first change as Deimantas Petravicius replaced the injured Oliver Burke on 59 minutes, with the hosts coping relatively well with the Swansea sporadic pressure.
The Welsh outfit started to pin Forest back and press in an effort to reduce the deficit, but continued to find it difficult breaking Gilligan’s men down, with Adam Crookes doing a fine job protecting the back four.
Kenji Gorre found room inside the box to fire one towards goal, but like so often in this encounter the ball was blocked heroically out for a corner as the Forest backline defended wholeheartedly to maintain a clean sheet.
Swansea pressed forward and had a couple of chances in a short space of time, with Kenji Gorre firing wide and Adam King blasting past Evtimov’s left-hand post in acres of space in the centre of the goal.
With ten minutes left Thorne was replaced by the tireless work ethic of Gerry McDonagh, stepping up from Jack Lester’s Under 18s side, while Matty Cash came on for Grant as Forest tried to disrupt any flow the visitor were building.
Gorre raced clear of Riera and into the box, but he saw his right-fotted cross evade everyone and run away from danger. And the visitors ensured a nervy final few minutes with a well taken goal to halve the deficit.
Henry Jones escaped the attentions of the Forest defence, received the ball and tucked it emphatically through the legs of Evtimov. And they carried on upping the ante on Forest forcing them back, allowing space for the Reds’ attackers to exploit.
Walker broke free on the left and reached the edge of the box before spooning over the bar. In the additional five minutes at the end of the second period, Swansea found their leveller.
Alex Samuel raced clear and struck low past Evtimov who struggled to get enough behind it to keep the ball out and the substitute sent the game into extra-time.
The nippy Samuel raced away in the opening exchanged of extra-time, but Evtimov got enough behind it to handle comfortably. Both teams were conserved as the extra-time progressed, suffering slightly from the energetic latter staged of the second period of normal time.
Worrall let a deep cross go as he showed superb awareness to relieve the danger, while Jones had a 25-yard drive tipped over by Evtimov. And the visitors took the lead on 103 minutes.
A lofted ball was played over the top and Samuel took advantage of hesitation to nip in and stroke the ball home with composure. Fresh from a Gilligan team-talk, Forest looked proactive in their search for an equaliser in the final 15 minutes.
But Swansea refused to lay down and take pressure, playing slick passing football to try and tire out the hosts. Substitute Petravicius served up a treat from the left, with a beautiful curling cross that McDonagh and Walker were inches from connecting with.
With the clock ticking, Evtimov was sent forward for a corner and the Forest pressure soon told as they found their equaliser with only minutes remaining in second-half of extra-time.
Defender Alex Iacovitti stayed a predatory forward position as the cross came in, and Davies tipped a Cash header in his direction and he took advantage, powerfully thumping into the back of the net to level proceedings.
And this pulsating encounter went through to penalties, and with nerves tingling amongst the supporters in The Main Stand. Walker, Crookes, Worrall and Cash netted coolly for Forest despite Roger Riera seeing his effort saved, and the hosts were knocked out cruelly with Iacovitti needing to score the fifth penalty, but he saw his strike saved impressively by Davies.

JIMMY´S PRIDE Author: Nick Richardson Nottingham Forest Under 21s coach Jimmy Gilligan admits his side’s play-off defeat was ‘heartbreaking’, but is nevertheless ‘very proud’ of this season’s achievements. Gilligan led the team to the league title to set up Wednesday’s play-off semi-final against Swansea at The City Ground. The Reds were beaten on penalties after a thrilling affair and, while it was a sad end to the campaign, Gilligan refused to let it overshadow his side’s fantastic work this season. He told Forest Player: “Obviously when you get to a semi-final stage, you want to go on and win the final. “It was heartbreak really – going from 2-0 up to 2-2 in the 93rd minute and then having to play extra time...I think it was a little bit disheartening for the boys. “But the game showed the resilience and character that I’ve talked about. When we went into extra time, went 3-2 down and pulled it back to 3-3 with three minutes to go it says everything about the players. “You’ve got to give them great credit – they’ve been absolutely fantastic. They took a Premier League outfit all the way and I’m very proud of them.” With the season now over, Forest’s Under 21s players have been sent away with their training ahead of the next campaign. And Gilligan is now able to fully reflect on the season gone by. He said: “It’s great to have won the league, it’s great to have got into the semi-finals of the play-offs. “But to see Tyler Walker score at Brentford, to see Jorge Grant do the same at Tottenham, to see Oliver Burke make his debut at Blackpool and then to have Roger Riera, your captain, on the bench against Cardiff City – that’s the end game, and I’ve told the players that.” Quelle: nottinghamforest.co.uk

Nottingham Forest’s on-loan winger Stephen McLaughlin played a pivotal role for Southend United as they progressed to the League Two play-off final last night. McLaughlin was introduced after the hour mark with his side trailing Stevenage 2-1 on aggregate. He provided the cross for Ryan Leonard to fire Phil Brown’s side back into the contest before putting Southend ahead with a header in extra time. The Essex outfit went on to add a third goal, confirming their place at the play-off final against Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday 23 May. McLaughlin will be eligible to play at Wembley. Last night’s appearance was McLaughlin’s eighth since arriving at Roots Hall in March. The former Derry City man made nine first-team appearances for The Reds this season but is yet to play under Dougie Freedman. McLaughlin also spent time with Notts County earlier in the campaign.

New deal for Walker
Author: Nick Richardson
Nottingham Forest academy graduate Tyler Walker has signed a new four-year deal with the club.
Walker emerged on the first-team scene last season and scored a memorable first senior goal with an excellent finish in the 2-2 draw at Brentford in April.
And the 18-year-old striker is thrilled to have impressed manager Dougie Freedman enough to earn a long-term contract.
Walker said: “The manager approached me and said he wanted to offer me a new contract because of how well I had done in training and in the few minutes that I got on the pitch.
“He has really backed me and I’ve responded to that. I wanted to get in his thoughts early on.
“I really enjoy his training sessions and he makes it easy for me to play my best football.
“The amount of confidence he’s given me, staying behind after training sessions to put on drills that are going to benefit me, is brilliant and I really enjoy working with him.”
An exciting 2015-16 season now lies ahead for Walker, who will be working hard to ensure he returns for pre-season in the best shape possible.
In the medium term, however, he is just looking forward to playing football again – be it at Under 21 or first-team level.
Walker said: “The most important thing is game time. I just want to carry on learning, so whatever games I can get I will be happy to play in, making sure I’m improving all the time and implementing what I’m being taught in training.
“It’s a big season for me and I want to hit the ground running when I come back.”

Nottingham Forest are looking for a new charity partner for the 2015-16 campaign.
Charities are still able to submit nominations for support from the club during the forthcoming season.
Following a successful 2014-15 season with their nominated charities – who both raised thousands of pounds – the club are now accepting nominations for the new campaign.
Last season saw Blesma and Forever Stars nominated as the official Nottingham Forest charity partners.
Alongside this, several associate charities have all benefited from working with The Reds to support campaigns and raise significant sums of money that help to make a difference.

Nottingham Forest are releasing a book to celebrate the club’s 150th anniversary.Club historian Don Wright’s book ‘Forever Forest – the official 150th anniversary history of the original Reds’ tells our unique story largely through the lives of the exceptional individuals – officials, players and fans - who formed and shaped it. “Historians are tellers of stories and what a fund of them the history of Forest provides,” said Don, a retired newspaper editor. “I have a passion for the game and love for this club, which I’ve supported for more than sixty years. So you can imagine that I was chuffed to be appointed its honorary historian in the autumn of 2009. As well as writing about the club’s history, I’m tasked with identifying and gathering together artefacts and documents with the ultimate aim of displaying them in a museum open to all supporters and the general public. “Meeting people, especially descendants of early Forest families, has been most rewarding. I learned so much about Walter Roe Lymbery, who I conclude is the true ‘father’ of Forest, from his great-grandson Nick Clifford, who lives in the York area but is a season ticket holder with a seat in the Brian Clough Stand. Walter was known as ‘the grand old man of Nottingham sport’. He played football until he was 33, cricket until 73 and golf until aged 80. “I also had the pleasure of talking to Mrs Marian Bestwick who, as a teenager with her friend, Margaret, captured the headlines as ‘the Nottingham glamour girls’ when they were picked out of the Wembley crowd at the 1959 FA Cup Final to be photographed in front of supporters at the Forest end of the ground for what has become an iconic fan picture. “Another contact I made was with a surprising Forest fan His Excellency Mr Pekka Huhtaniemi, the Finnish ambassador, whose interest stems from our former player ‘Tucker’ Johnson taking up a coaching engagement in the late 1940s with the Finnish team Myllykosken Pallo-47.” Priced £20, ‘Forever Forest’ is being published by Amberley Books and will be available to purchase at the City Ground Megastore and via other retailers including Amazon from mid-August.
