    Good round-up.

    Dowell is, I presume, leaving on a free. Will be a good signing for someone, though he's never really 'kicked on' from his early promise. If we'd gone down, I'd have been very keen for us to get him in.

    He's a friend of a friend. All the skills, but not the mentality or drive to make the absolute most of his capability.

    Sounds like me. Bar the skillz bit.

    New “Local Heroes” film - story of Birtles, Viv and Woodcock - had its premiere tonight.
    Bryn Gunn, Bomber, Alan Hill, Paul Hart, Danny Wilson, Reidy, Alan Tait, McGovern all there.
    It’s on at The Arc in Beeston all week and out on DVD on June 5.

    The trailer...

    Looks good from the trailer but ….“Notts Forest?” Also, straight to DVD? Is it 2006 again?

    The Interviews with Barry, Viv, Woody plus Keegan and O’Neill are good and quite emotional in a couple of places.

    Jordan Smith is out of contract this summer, appears to have played zero minutes for Huddersfield and has barely made the bench. Wonder if this is the end of his career as a professional footballer?

    As I understand it (training ground gossip from past and present Forest GKs), Jordan went to Udders on the promise of being back-up keeper and challenging the incumbent (the usual No 2) for a starting role. But the No 1, who had been injured, which is why Smith was signed, recovered and kept his place, so the No 2 remained on the bench.
    So Smith just swapped being No 3 in an EPL relegation battle under SSC to being No 3 in a Championship relegation battle under Colin.
    (Colin has pulled out as manager of one of the teams in a charity game at Gainsborough next weekend citing exhaustion from his efforts at Udders - Robbie Fowler is taking his place)
    I can see him joining a L1 or L2 side as a No 2 keeper. (Morecambe have released virtually their whole squad for example)

    Said mate dropped tony woodencock off at east midlands airport this morning. I have no account of the intervening missing hours.

    He is good enough to get a starting place in league one or two so I hope he finds something.

    Matt Derbyshire scored for Bradford in the league 2 play off semi final second leg, it says here. They lost.

    Madness. The guy's nailed on for 20 goals a season.

    Got to presume it's an attitude thing, as I agree, he's a good player.
