2-3 Reid and Henderson put forest 2-0 up after 15 minutes, Reid's a penalty and Buxton gets sent off in the first minute. Forest play hoof ball for the next 15 which ends when Henderson gets a lucky deflection to an aimless hoof from Darlow. After the frantic start we start to get our foot on the ball and take control of the game, Hughes running the show, both Martin and Russell have good opportunities but don't finish them, we keep going, an air of optimism surrounds the 2002 travelling rams fans. Which grows on 44 minutes when Ward scores his 1st of the season from a free kick. We enter HT 2-1 down but much the better team. 2nd half starts how the first ended, with us dictating play. On 60 minutes Eustace scores a header from a corner Rams fans go wild, singing 10 men we only need 10 men, forest fans start booing. Forest start getting making niggling fouls trying to stop us from playing. It works until 88 minutes when Martin wins a penalty after Lichaj takes him out from behind in the box. Penalty. Up steps Johnny Russell, and smashes it into the roof of the net. For the last few minutes we pass the ball around, make 65 passes without forest touching the ball. Olé rings round the shity ground. Clough has a beaming smile, Billy Davies is sacked before he reaches the dressing room and escorted straight to his car.

Lately we have been struggling at the back, this is due to absence of Kelvin Wilson. With him in the side we have conceded just 2 goals from open play, in just 2 games without him we have conceded 4.

Strikers are also not taking their chances at the mo', which we are creating plenty of. In our last 3 league games we have had a total of 61 shots on goal, 24 on target with only 6 finding the back of the net. So we are currently relying on other players to pop up with goals at the minute. With our top goal scorer in the league being Andy Reid with 4 goals , with only one striker netted more then one league goal. Darius Henderson scoring 3.

Recent games between us 2 havnt been much of a spectacle, the occasion has seemed to get to both teams, both feeding off the atmosphere in the wrong way and it has resulted in a scrappy 1-0 win to your side. Hopefully both teams can settle and we can have a good 'football' game to showcase infront of the sky cameras. It will be interesting to see how you set up, reading on here it seems to be you are a v.good passing side. Most teams come to our ground and try and park the bus and hit us on the counter. So if you come and bring the attack, that could cause us some problems as we arnt really use to teams trying to do that against us at home.

if fully fit i expect us to line up like this:

Darlow

Lichaj Hobbs Wilson Cohen

Chalobah

Lansbury Reid Abdoun

Henderson Mackie

i will go for a 2-1 Forest win. (Henderson, Abdoun) (Ward)

After that forest fan's article on clough, some of this forest lot are alright!

Billy will send one of his players out to injure Hughes. The result will depend if he gets injured and/or the players sees red.

We did this on Bale in the first leg of playoffs and it worked.

Not sure how much ref speakers to the clubs beforehand but it would be good to mention this too the ref.
