17th vs 19th. Forest's only two wins have both come at The City Ground. West Ham have won just one away game so far.
Transcript
00:02Hello to you from the city ground of Nottingham.
00:05Now all over the football world, actually, what on earth happened to Nottingham Forest and West Ham United?
00:11Because by general consent, these two teams are among the two best footballing teams in England,
00:17and yet both of them have made a disastrous start to the season.
00:21The Forest began well enough to five points in their first three games,
00:26but since when, they've got two points out of seven, and West Ham United has struggled and struggled all season.
00:32Rather a depressing start, but a start which I'm sure that both clubs will get over pretty, pretty quickly.
00:38Now if we have a look at the two teams, Nottingham Forest has not shown any panic changes at all.
00:43They've got their strongest side out, run it up very fine dough, people wignol the man that all Nottingham believes
00:48should be on the England side.
00:49And behind him, the Kinlay, perhaps the finest Scottish centre-half, never to have been captured by his country.
00:56So Nottingham Forest certainly not making any panic changes.
00:59And neither are West Ham United, but they have had to make six changes, partly because of injury, partly because
01:05a lot of the players have lost confidence.
01:06There's no Johnny Byrne, there's no Tim Brown. In fact, there are only five men missing from their cup and
01:12their cup team in today's line-up.
01:14Bobby Moore is back at left half, up to leading England, and he welcomed Jimmy Bloomfield, the man they signed
01:20last week.
01:21It could be his second game, but old hands dare to try and restore confidence in a confident, shattered team.
01:27To start, it's Nottingham Forest laying in the dark shirts.
01:33This, their centenary year, all anxious to do well, and it reminded everybody in their excellent centenary booklet that when
01:41the club was founded,
01:43whisky was only 15 shillings a gallon. Why bring up those good old days?
01:49West Ham United, you might think of playing in all white, but actually in pale blue.
02:05So far, it's Forest is doing all the attacking early minutes. West Ham's attempt to defend.
02:14There's more playing. She's all set to half-roll, and Newton, and he's hit the post, a great shot.
02:22Here's John Charles, one of the near West Ham youngsters. No relation to the famous John Charles.
02:30Bluefield doing well to come back and get that one.
02:34Bobby Moore. West Ham, oh, a bad mistake by Hindley. A great transform. Peter Braybrook.

05:12quite safely delay his decisions to whether to send charles back
05:17until after half time
