Same Old Forest

Proceedings yesterday saw Forest come close a number of times. Wes Morgan had two chances in the first half, one being a header which looped onto the top of the bar, the other a close range, 'smash' of a shot, which Rachubka, the Blackpool keeper, remarkably held.

Forest, including the under par Joel Lynch made a series of mistakes. Joel Lynch was subbed off early on in the first half, to be replaced by Julian Bennett who was making his comeback.

Overall, Forest missed a ton of chances, another notable effort seeing Garner's header being well saved by the Blackpool keeper. Even though Blackpool were never really in the game, I honestly thought they would have snatched the win. The draw wasn't good enough as we are still four points off safety. Forest should have won the match.

For me, Brendan Moloney has to be Forest's man of the match. He showed a drive to win that very few of our players seemed to possess yesterday. He made attacking, darting forward runs and took on their defence.
