A good result from the lads. A rare clean sheet and an away point from a top six side - so can’t complain at that. Settled team who will hopefully improve as they get good pitch time together. Well done management and team! Let’s keep the momentum going.

A good result but lucky to get away with more terrible defending conceding directly from a corner, but the wind and lino saved us as the ball wasn't still when the corner was taken. Which Forest's trainer didn't seem to think relevant as he was still complainIng after the game. Kelly saved us too with a great save from Grabham. We were better 2nd half and they only had a handful of chances. I only remember 2 chances for us, the only ones shown in the EFL highlights, one Pugh didn't take near the end of the 1st half, and a saved Manning shot from a tight angle set up by Pugh early second.

Cheers Dave.

I’d forgotten all about David Needham, but once I saw the name I remembered a very good player, surprised he only played 18 games for us. He was unlucky to join just as we went off the boil. But Cloughie pinched him and he got a league champions medal as a result.

I fancy us to get another win this weekend, but what do I know?

If I remember correctly Needham played for Notts county and they refused to sell him to forest so we were a go between....he was a decent player and we thought we actually had a replacement for mclintock......the rest is history as they say...

Sweet jesus that was some atmosphere today. A great travelling support! 1st half was actually ****e and full credit to Manning for being the only player to confront the linesman over their goal when everyone else was lining up for the restart. He wouldnt let it go and it got chalked off.
Barbets passing was dreadful in the first half, forest must have thought they had an extra player at times. We were non existent in central midfield with only Ball truly showing for a pass. 2nd half we came out differently, BOS was ****ting them up, Manning was pushing right on and we looked more likely to nick something. Eze got more of the ball when he moved to the left and he also looked more dangerous if not a little knackered at times. Pugh tries, he really does but he just doesnt bring anything to the team by playing on the wing. This game was crying out for movement and Chair should have been brought on much earlier for Pugh, moving Eze to the wing. Cameron had a very good 2nd half. It would have been interesting to bring on Oteh alongside hugill as when we did get in crossing positions, we lacked the numbers in the box. Too many times Hugill challenges for the ball without anyone within 10 yards of him. Overall a well deserved draw against a good team. I cant see Pugh starting the next game. The general consensus amongst the fantastic support was 'why is he on the pitch'?? When the likes of Chair and Clarke are on the bench.

If Manning was responsible for having a direct impact to get their goal disallowed, then he is undoubtably my MOTM! Excellent! :)
