Encyclopedia
The 2007–08 season was Nottingham Forest
's third consecutive season in League One
. The season was regarded a success with the team gaining promotion back to the Coca Cola Championship
at the third attempt.
Forest's players were also successful on an individual level in the 2007–08 season, with Julian Bennett and Kris Commons
in the PFA League One Team of the Year
, while Paul Smith ended the season with 24 clean sheets in 46 games, the record for the league in that season. This achievement was recognised when he received the Puma Golden Glove
award.

campaign, Forest were named title favourites for the third consecutive year. Calderwood
signed five players in summer 2007, most notably former Celtic
captain Neil Lennon
on a free transfer. Also captured were left-back Matt Lockwood from Leyton Orient
, Preston North End
defender Kelvin Wilson
and Yeovil Town
duo midfielder Chris Cohen
and attacking winger Arron Davies
all signing for undisclosed fees.
Forest started the 2007-08 campaign
by failing to win in their first six competitive games. The Reds drew three times and lost 2-1 at home to rivals Leeds United, as well as losing 3-2 to Peterborough United
in the Football League Trophy
. However, Forest then hit an eight-game unbeaten run in the league (including five wins), scoring seventeen goals in the process. After losing to Luton
, Forest went on another unbeaten run, this time of six games in all competitions. This briefly took Forest to the top of the league table
over Christmas, the first time they had been top all season.
But they lost top spot as they failed to win away from home, in a run lasting seven games. After moving back into second place, Forest's away form once again was found lacking, which allowed Carlisle and Doncaster
to overtake them into second and third place, respectively. Forest went on to collect just one win in seven games.
However, they turned their form around, and after being 11 points behind second-place at one point. A win Carlisle saw Forest then win six out of their last seven games of the season. Forest, who had only been in the automatic promotion places once all season got promoted to the Championship on a dramatic last day of the season, by beating Yeovil
3-2 at the City Ground
to secure second place. The Reds kept a league record of 24 clean sheets out of 46 games, which helped them end their three-year spell in the league's third tier and gain their first promotion in ten years.
