Birmingham 0-1 Forest

Posted: Tue 15 Sep 2015
Author: Nick Richardson



Nottingham Forest inflicted Birmingham City’s first defeat of the season with a 1-0 victory at St Andrew’s this evening.

Dexter Blackstock’s close-range finish early in the second half was enough to seal a second successive away victory for The Reds on a night when they restricted their high-flying hosts to few opportunities.

Dougie Freedman made five changes to the side that beat QPR at the weekend.

In came Kyle Ebecilio, Jamie Ward, Chris Burke, Ben Osborn and Blackstock, with David Vaughan, Ryan Mendes, Chris O’Grady, Tyler Walker and the injured Michael Mancienne making way.

Vaughan, Mendes and O’Grady were handed spots on the bench alongside Dimitar Evtimov, Nelson Oliveira, Jack Hobbs and Jorge Grant.

Forest had the first half chance of the game on four minutes after Osborn made a strong run into Birmingham’s area and won a corner. Lansbury’s delivery was met by Matt Mills and the ball dropped down in front of the keeper. Ward was unable to make contact and Tomasz Kuszczak quelled the danger.

The Reds were making the early running and won a free-kick in a good shooting position on seven minutes when Ward was cynically tripped by Stephen Gleeson, who was booked. Lansbury lashed the ball over the bar.

Spectators had to wait until the 32nd minute to see the next action of note, when Birmingham captain Michael Morrison blocked Ward’s powerful strike from 25 yards.

And two minutes later the defender put his body on the line once again to deny Osborn. Mills sprayed a crossfield ball to Ward down the left. He beat his man and crossed the ball into the middle. It was slightly awkward for Osborn, who managed to meet it with a volley on his weaker right foot. Morrison positioned himself well to make the block.

Jon Toral became the second Blue in the book on 34 minutes when he was retrospectively punished for a late lunge on Lansbury.

And Eric Lichaj’s name was taken three minutes later for a foul on Jaques Maghoma.

Forest had done well to nullify their unbeaten hosts’ threat but suffered a scare on the stroke of half-time when David Cotterill got in behind The Reds’ back four. He cut the ball back for Maghoma, who slipped at the crucial moment. Birmingham kept the ball alive in the area, however, and Toral had time to turn before lashing it just over Dorus de Vries’ crossbar.

The two sides returned for the second half unchanged and it was Birmingham who claimed the first chance after the restart.

Cotterill, who a minute earlier had been booked for a foul on Lansbury, produced the perfect delivery for Clayton Donaldson at the back post. The big forward got his header all wrong, sending the ball over the bar.

But Forest made no such mistake when presented with a golden opportunity of their own on 54 minutes.

Mills sprayed the ball across to Ward, who capitalised on Caddis’ slip to burst into the area from the left. A number of options were available to the winger and he opted to roll the ball across the face of goal. Blackstock did brilliantly to outmuscle his marker and turn the ball home from close range.

Ward was making a big contribution to the match but found himself in the book shortly after his assist as he was punished for a clash with Kuszczak.

A minute later, Lichaj showed good composure to turn another dangerous Cotterill cross behind with Toral lurking menacingly behind him.

Freedman made a change shortly afterwards, sending Mendes on for Ward, before O’Grady replaced Blackstock on 64 minutes.

Birmingham had a chance to equalise when Mills misread Jonathan Grounds’ throw down the line. The run of the ball took Toral to the byline, where he checked inside the sliding Kelvin Wilson and readied himself for a shot. Mills recovered well to make a vital challenge.

The home side had another chance on 70 minutes when the ball dropped for substitute Demarai Gray on the edge of the area. He sidefooted it just wide of the post.

Forest’s response came from Ebecilio two minutes later who, after a near exchange with Burke, tried his luck from 25 yards. He sent the ball straight at the keeper.

The visitors were looking the more likely team to score and Birmingham’s Caddis had to be alert to hook the ball away from his goal after Mills met Osborn’s corner.

And a minute later Mendes capitalised on a mistake to burst into Birmingham’s half. He reached the penalty area and committed his defender before bursting towards the byline and rolling the ball across goal. Jonathan Spector managed to get goal side of Osborn to prevent the midfielder from tapping it into an empty net.

Mendes and Osborn were both off target with long-range efforts as Forest sought a second goal with the game entering its latter stages.

The introduction of David Vaughan, for Ebecilio, provided an injection of energy and composure late on as the visitors eased their way towards another impressive victory on the road.

Five minutes were added on at the end of the match but Forest were rarely troubled as the game ended 1-0 to Freedman’s men.

Forest 1-2 Middlesbrough

Posted: Sat 19 Sep 2015
Author: Nick Richardson



Nottingham Forest were beaten 2-1 by Middlesbrough at The City Ground this afternoon.

The Reds fell behind twice in the first half to goals from David Nugent and Daniel Ayala.

Matt Mills issued an almost-immediate response to Nugent's neat flick with a superb volley from a corner.

And Henri Lansbury was given a golden opportunity to equalise when Boro's Ben Gibson was penalised for handball in the area.

Lansbury's penalty was saved, however, and despite intense Forest pressure Boro held on to claim victory.

Dougie Freedman made four changes to the side that beat Birmingham City on Tuesday night.

The Reds started the match with a fully changed attacking trio as Ryan Mendes, Nelson Oliveira and Chris O’Grady came into the starting line up in place of the bench-bound Chris Burke, Jamie Ward and Dexter Blackstock.

David Vaughan was also handed a start in place of Kyle Ebecilio, who was absent from the matchday squad.

Crystal Palace loanee Jonny Williams was given a spot on the bench, as were Dimitar Evtimov, Jack Hobbs and Jorge Grant.

Forest found themselves behind with only three minutes on the clock as they succumbed to some early Boro pressure.

Moments after Dorus de Vries had to race to the edge of his area to smother at the feet of a Boro attacker and Kelvin Wilson had to halt a goal-bound lob, George Friend’s dangerous low cross from the left provided Nugent with the chance to flick the ball past de Vries from close range.

It took Forest only three minutes to level, Oliveira’s shot deflecting over for a corner and Lansbury dinking the ball into the middle. Mills met the ball perfectly, volleying it high into the net to complete a quick recovery for his side.

The early stages were being played out at a furious tempo and Nugent found himself in the book for catching Henri Lansbury late on nine minutes.

Moments later, brilliant work down the left from O’Grady sent Mendes racing into the box with the ball. The angle was tight and his touch was heavy, allowing a Boro defender to nip in and knock it behind for a corner.

Boro dealt with the subsequent set piece and broke away on the counter. Covering defender Daniel Pinillos appeared to be caught in two minds as to whether he should close down or stand off Adam Clayton. The Boro midfielder supplied Stewart Downing to his left and the former West Ham man’s pace took him clean through on de Vries, who made an excellent save with his foot.

Mills’ involvement was over on 18 minutes when he was forced off the field with an injury. Jack Hobbs replaced him.

Hobbs’ centre back partner Kelvin Wilson found himself in the book on 22 minutes after he fouled Nugent on the left touchline.

And Boro cranked up the pressure once again by forcing de Vries into an excellent double save. The first came from a powerful Nugent strike, which the Dutchman could only parry to Adomah ten yards out. The winger sidefooted the ball goalwards first time but de Vries was up and ready to make another good save.

There was nothing the keeper could do nine minutes later, however, as the Teessiders retook the lead in scrappy fashion.

The Reds didn’t deal properly with a short corner and, following a scramble in the middle, former Forest loanee Ayala beat de Vries to the ball to bundle it into the net.

Freedman’s men sought another speedy response and nearly had another equaliser within a minute of the restart. It came from an unlikely source in the shape of Eric Lichaj, who came forward from right back, exchanged passes with Mendes before firing a left-footed effort towards the top corner from the edge of the area. Boro keeper Dimi Konstantopoulos dived to his right to make an excellent save.

The resultant corner saw Vaughan pick out an unmarked Hobbs, but the substitute still had a lot to do. He could only nod the ball over the bar.

Forest were unable to apply any more significant pressure to their visitors before the half-time break, which saw Ward replace Osborn down the right.

And The Reds had a golden opportunity to equalise within two minutes of the restart when Oliveira nicked the ball through for Mendes to race into the area. With no defenders around him, Mendes had plenty of time to weigh up his options as he bore down on Konstantopoulos.

Oliveira was available to his right but the shot always looked the more likely option. The Cape Verde international tried to slide the ball precisely beyond the keeper but he stood firm to make the block.

Five minutes later, Lichaj was in shooting range once again after showing excellent anticipation to beat Adomah to the ball in Middlesbrough's half. The American offloaded the ball to O'Grady and continued his run into the box. Forest worked it back to him and, from a tight angle, Lichaj struck it firmly towards goal. Konstantopoulos was well positioned at his near post to push the ball behind.

As Forest pushed forward there was always going to be the threat of Middlesbrough counter attacks, and that's exactly what happened just before the hour. Boro broke down the left and worked the ball to Downing, who shifted it on to his left foot on the edge of the area before curling it a yard over the bar.

It was an open affair, which suited Forest as they chased an equaliser. Ward showed good footwork down the right to take the ball into the box and, although the angle appeared to be against him, he opted for the shot. The ball whistled just wide of the far post.

A minute later, Boro defender Ben Gibson was booked for hauling down Mendes 25 yards out. Ward took responsibility for the free-kick, striking the ball well but failing to keep it down.

Forest were ramping up the pressure and went close again when Oliveira bent the ball just wide from 20 yards. Clayton was retrospectively booked for trying to haul the Portuguese forward down in the build up.

Next it was Mendes' turn to have a go. In space on the edge of the area, the ball bounced out to him and he lashed it towards goal. Konstantopoulos got down to his right to push it behind.

Freedman's final save saw Williams replace Oliveira with 15 minutes to go. And, two minutes later, The Reds had a wonderful chance to equaliser when they were awarded a penalty.

O'Grady chested the ball down after Lansbury's crossfield pass and it struck Gibson's hand in the area. The assistant signalled for a foul and Lansbury had the chance to score from the spot. He struck the ball low and hard towards goal but Konstantopoulos was equal to it, reacting quickly enough to push Ward's header wide on the rebound.

De Vries made an acrobatic one-handed save to deny Christian Stuani as Boro reminded Forest of their threat on the break before five minutes of added time were signalled.

But for a speculative Ward effort, which saw the ball sail harmlessly over the bar, however, The Reds failed to further trouble Konstantopoulos and were left to rue their missed opportunities.

Plenty of options

Posted: Wed 23 Sep 2015
Author: Nick Richardson

Nottingham Forest forward Dexter Blackstock believes any combination of the club’s attacking players can ‘work together’

Manager Dougie Freedman has assembled a squad which possesses a potent attacking threat and a variety of styles.

And, ahead of Thursday night’s trip to Huddersfield, Blackstock says he and his fellow attackers accept that each match places different demands on the squad.

He told Forest Player HD: “I think any combination can work together, it’s just for which games and which formations – that’s for the manager to decide.

“He has a lot of knowledge of this league. He knows our and the opposition players inside out, therefore he can pick a team to combat theirs. That’s why there’s rotation.

“Because he has faith that the squad is very strong all the way through he can replace like for like with the same quality and get good results.

“It’s good to know that the manager backs the full squad.”

Freedman’s willingness to utilise all of his options paid off when his team claimed back-to-back away victories against Queens Park Rangers and Birmingham City.

Blackstock was an unused substitute at Loftus Road as fellow forward Nelson Oliveira scored a late winner on his debut, but the Antiguan played the hero three days later when he started the match and scored the winning goal at St Andrew’s.

And Blackstock knows what was key to those away victories as he and his team-mates prepare to hunt down a third consecutive win on the road.

He said: “Our resilience was second to none, especially when we were leading in those games and having to hold on.

“We showed good character and team spirit, something we’ve got in abundance at the minute. I think that’s one of the key things you need to be successful in this division.

“I think Huddersfield will be a good side. They’ll have confidence coming off the back of some good results. They’re dangerous.

“If they play to their best and we’re not at our best we’ll lose the game, and vice versa – if we’re anywhere near our levels, we’ll win the game.”

Williams plays 90


Author: Nick Richardson

Nottingham Forest loanee Jonny Williams played 90 minutes in Nottingham Forest’s Under 21s match against Watford this afternoon.

The midfielder, who is building up his fitness, put in an assured performance as the young Reds were beaten 2-1.

Williams created Forest’s best chance of the first half, releasing Oliver Burke into the area on 35 minutes. Hornets keeper Luke Simpson stood firm to make a strong save.

Reds stopper Dimitar Evtimov had earlier done brilliantly to tip George Byers’ shot on to the crossbar but the Bulgarian was rarely troubled in a quiet first half.

The second half was sparked into life with 12 minutes to go when Watford’s Bernard Mensah lashed the ball into the bottom corner from outside the area.

But Forest looked like they were going to take a point from the match when substitute Gerry McDonagh bundled the ball home after Simpson had made a succession of good saves.

With the clock nearing 90, however, the visitors struck again. Evtimov was unable to deny Byers this time, the midfielder sending the ball soaring into the top corner to secure his team a late win.

FOREST: Evtimov, Riera, Kelly, Worrall, Iacovitti, Cash (McDonagh), O Burke, Grant (C), Walker, Williams, Petravicius (Thorne)

Quality is not enough


Posted: Thu 01 Oct 2015
Author: Nick Richardson


Nottingham Forest forward Nelson Oliveira says he has learned ‘quality is not enough’ to be successful in English football.

The 24-year-old recently commenced his second spell on these shores by joining Forest on loan from Benfica, a season after he made ten Premier League appearances for Swansea City.

And Oliveira, who has also played in the Portuguese, French and Spanish top flights and at a European Championships, believes you need more than just ability to impress in his current environment.

He told Forest Player HD: “Here, quality is not enough. You have to be physically prepared to play 90 minutes with intensity. We have to work hard during the week to perform well in the match.

“It’s true that the football in England is different. It is more intense. I am always fit – I work for that in training. If the coach wants me to, I am always fit to play.

“Every training session is an opportunity to impress the manager. I try to do my job every day and earn a chance to play.

“[My goal against QPR] was only a start. I need to do more. I need to score more goals and play more games – the more games I play I’ll feel better and better.”

The man Oliveira is trying to impress, Dougie Freedman, praised the player’s attitude in training yesterday.

And Oliveira says his manager and everyone else at the club have helped him settle in quickly.

Oliveira said: “I feel very good in Nottingham – very happy. All my team-mates and the other people here have helped me a lot and have made my adaptation easy. I feel grateful to everyone.

“It is very important because when you go into a new country, a new culture, you need to adapt. If the people there make it easy for you, it’s better.

“It makes you feel more happy and comfortable, and I feel that.”

Forest three aim for Euro 2016 qualification

Posted: Wed 07 Oct 2015
Author: NFFC




Nottingham Forest trio David Vaughan, Jonny Williams and Jamie Ward are hoping to help their respective countries reach the 2016 European Championships this week.

Ten Forest players have been called up for international duty in total with a number of the club’s academy squad members being selected to play for their countries in the latest set of fixtures.

Forest duo David Vaughan and Jonny Williams are part of a Wales squad who need only a single point from their remaining two qualifiers to reach their first major tournament since 1958. Chris Coleman’s side will aim to take that point when they travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina on Saturday (10 October) but if they fail to get the job done in Zenica then they have a final chance in the shape of a home game against Andorra next Tuesday (13 October).

Four on the bounce for Under 18s


Nottingham Forest’s Under 18s secured their fourth successive victory on Saturday with a 3-1 win at Birmingham City.

Ryan Yates fired Forest into an eighth-minute lead in the West Midlands as he beat the goalkeeper from the edge of the area before Ben Brereton doubled the lead three minutes later as he headed home a right-wing free-kick.

The Reds had made a rapid start and Brereton extended the advantage on 28 minutes as he finished off a flowing move to put Jack Lester’s side in complete control.

Birmingham did find a consolation goal four minutes from time as David Popa slotted past Joe Boyd but it wasn’t enough to take the shine off an impressive away win for Forest.

A home game against Crewe Alexandra on Saturday (17 October, kick-off 11am) will give Forest the opportunity to make it five straight wins as they look to make further progress up the league table.

Match pack: Bristol City (A)

Posted: Fri 16 Oct 2015
Author: NFFC



Get all the news ahead of Nottingham Forest's Sky Bet Championship trip to Bristol City this evening (kick-off 7.45pm).

Pre-match brief

Nottingham Forest make the trip to Bristol City’s Ashton Gate tonight where a win for The Reds will see them comfortably retain their mid-table spot ahead of the rest of the Sky Bet Championship fixtures on Saturday.

With only three points from their last six matches, The Robins currently sit bottom of the league but having brought Norwich winger Elliott Bennett and former Forest striker Simon Cox to the club recently, Steve Cotterill's side will be aiming for their first home win of the season in all competitions.

After defeats to Premier League-chasing Middlesbrough and Hull, Forest are looking to regain their winning form in the South West with captain Henri Lansbury saying that if The Reds continue their current standards then their luck ‘has to change’.

Team news

Nottingham Forest defensive duo Eric Lichaj and Matt Mills are both ruled out of tonight's game at Bristol City through suspension with the pair missing one and three matches respectively.

Michael Mancienne and Kyle Ebecilio will also miss the trip to Ashton Gate with hamstring injuries so some of the younger members of the Forest squad are expected to feature in the South West.

Bristol City could welcome back Liam Moore and Korey Smith to their squad after the pair's recovery from injury but midfielder Scott Wagstaff is set to be out after suffering a calf problem.

View from the Red corner

Nottingham Forest manager Dougie Freedman: “Friday night, on Sky, it’s a very difficult match for us. But we’ve got a team that’s starting to come together and working hard for each other, and that always gives you a chance.”

Forest 1-1 Burnley

Posted: Tue 20 Oct 2015
Author: Nick Richardson


A last-minute equaliser denied ten-man Nottingham Forest victory over Burnley at The City Ground tonight.

Eric Lichaj had given Forest the lead with his first goal for the club, an excellent finish in the second half, minutes before Henri Lansbury was red carded.

And, in the dying seconds of normal time, a superb strike from Matt Taylor handed Burnley a share of the spoils.

Dougie Freedman made three changes to the side that faced Bristol City on Friday night.

Lichaj returned to the starting line up along with Jamie Ward and Tyler Walker. Danny Fox, Chris Burke and Chris O’Grady dropped to the bench.

Forest started the game brightly but had the post to thank on 11 minutes. Joey Barton's deflected effort saw the ball come back off the woodwork and straight into the path of Andre Gray, who tapped it into the net. Stuart Attwell's assistant ruled the striker offside, however.

Lansbury offered Forest's response with an effort which was diverted over the bar for a corner, before Nelson Oliveira provided Tom Heaton with his first test of the night. The Portuguese forward did well to cut in from the right but he could only direct the ball tamely at Heaton from the edge of the 'D'.

Burnley had a golden chance to take the lead on 19 minutes when Taylor's cross from the right saw the ball drop for Scott Arfield unmarked at the back post. The former Huddersfield man side-footed it across goal and wide of the far post from two yards.

Forest were playing some good football in the opening exchanges but they were struggling to seriously trouble Heaton. Lansbury tried his luck on 22 minutes, opting for placement from 25 yards but directing the ball straight at the keeper.

Oliveira was the first player to enter Attwell's notebook when he hauled back Taylor on 26 minutes. The former West Ham man took the subsequent free-kick himself, curling the ball low around the wall and forcing Dorus de Vries to push it wide.

The game then entered a quiet period before appeals for a Burnley red card rang around The City Ground with six minutes to play in the half. David Vaughan's long ball over the top gave Oliveira something to chase. His pressure on Michael Keane forced the defender into a handball just when it looked like he was going to go through one-on-one with Heaton. Another defender was nearby, however, and Attwell deemed a booking sufficient punishment for Keane.

Forest had their tails up, and Ward nearly presented Oliveira with a great chance to open the scoring on 42 minutes. The former Derby man brought the ball through midfield and to the edge of the area before trying to pick out the unmarked forward. A Burnley defender managed to make a key interception.

It was the visitors who claimed the final chance of the half when Sam Vokes drifted into space in the area to meet a cross from the right. He got his header all wrong, however, and sent the ball well wide.

There were no changes for either side at the break and Burnley had the first chance of the second half after a good counter attack. They worked the ball to Gray on the edge of the area but, having to turn quickly to get his shot away, he blazed it over the bar.

Onlookers had to wait until the 68th minute for the next chance of note, and it fell for Forest after good work by Mendes down the left. He worked the ball to Oliveira who did well to get a shot away from 22 yards. The ball flashed just wide of the post.

Freedman made his first change a minute later, sending on Blackstock in place of Walker, and the front man almost played a huge role in helping his side take the lead within three minutes of being on the field. Ward's cross from the right picked Blackstock out at the back post and he nodded the ball down for Mendes in the area. The Cape Verdean struck his half-volley sweetly, but straight at Heaton.

But Forest kept the move alive and broke the deadlock through an unusual source. Lichaj, on his weaker left foot, swept the ball into the bottom far corner from just outside the area to put The Reds 1-0 up with 17 minutes to play.

The Reds' hopes of hanging on to victory were soon dealt a blow, however, when Lansbury was given a straight red card after colliding with Ben Mee in midfield.

That forced Freedman into a reshuffle as he sent Chris O'Grady and young midfielder Jorge Grant on in place of Ward and Oliveira.

But, inevitably, Burnley were ramping up the pressure. With two minutes to play they worked the ball to Gray in the right-hand section of the area, eight yards out. He stroked it across goal and just wide of the far post.

That was to only be a temporary reprieve for Forest, however, as in the 90th minute Taylor struck the ball sweetly from the edge of the area into the top corner of the net.

Five minutes of added time gave the visitors extra impetus, with a win now in their sights.

But Forest saw the rest of the match out to secure a point.
