Wolves 1-1 Forest


Author: Nick Richardson



Dexter Blackstock came off the bench to equalise as Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 at Wolves tonight.

The striker had been on the pitch for only four minutes before he volleyed the ball home from a corner to put his side on level terms with the match nearing its conclusion.

Wolves' goal also came from a corner - Ethan Ebanks-Landell scoring with a 15th-minute header against the run of play.

Dougie Freedman named an unchanged side to the one that beat Fulham 3-0 last weekend.

That meant Michael Mancienne kept his place alongside Matt Mills in central defence and Jack Hobbs had to settle for a place on the bench on his return from suspension.

Chris O'Grady and Nelson Oliveira continued as a front pairing, while Jamie Ward took his place among the substitutes.

Forest started the game brightly and had their first chance on two minutes. Lansbury's corner found Matt Mills in space. He nodded the ball down for Eric Lichaj six yards out and, with his back to goal, the American stooped to head it goalwards. He couldn't find the target.

Oliveira had his first attempt shortly afterwards, holding the ball up well, checking on to his left foot and shooting from 25 yards. The ball was comfortably collected by Carl Ikeme.

Freedman's men were playing some excellent football in the opening exchanges but found themselves a goal down with 15 minutes on the clock. Ryan Mendes conceded a free-kick in a deep crossing position and Jordan Graham swung the ball towards the back post. Ebanks-Landell snuck in around the back to head the ball low past de Vries.

Moments later The Reds had a similar opportunity to equalise. Jack Price was booked for a cynical foul on Mendes and Henri Lansbury crossed the ball for Mills, who had drifted into an unmarked position in the area. From around eight yards out, Mills managed to generate excellent power on his header but the direction caused no problems for Ikeme, who held on with ease.

Forest had the ball in the net minutes later but O'Grady's tap-in from Oliveira's cut-back was correctly ruled out for offside.

And the frustration continued for O'Grady, who could only volley the ball over the bar with a left-footed volley on 33 minutes following a scrappy passage of play in the Wolves box.

The Reds were in control but they were almost hit with another sucker punch with nine minutes to play in the half. Mancienne's clearance was closed down, releasing Adam Le Fondre down the right. The striker raced into the area but his shooting angle was tight. Mills applied some pressure with a sliding challenge and nearly diverted Le Fondre's shot beyond de Vries. The Dutch keeper was able to make the save and the danger was cleared.

With half-time approaching, neat interplay between Mendes and Osborn resulted in the latter firing the ball over from 20 yards, a minute before Mancienne went into the book for a foul on Le Fondre.

The hosts claimed the final chance of the first half when James Henry cleverly slipped Graham into the area. Covering defender Mancienne did enough to put Graham off and the winger could only find the side-netting with his shot.

There were no changes for either side at the break and the first second-half incident of note saw Lansbury enter the book for a trip on Henry.

Forest's first opening of the half came just after the hour when Lichaj robbed Graham of possession on the edge of the Wolves area, nudging the ball to O'Grady. The forward could only fire it wide as a half-chance passed Forest by.

The Reds' next chance came from more superb work by Lichaj. The right back showed great strength to win the ball inside his own half before tearing away down the wing. His low cross picked out Oliveira, who tried to catch his marker off guard by changing direction as soon as he received the ball. The Portuguese international lost his footing at the crucial moment and Wolves were able to clear.

Freedman's first change followed as Ward replaced O'Grady with 67 minutes on the clock. The move saw Mendes join Oliveira up front, with Osborn switching over to the right.

But it was Wolves who would have the next big chance, Dominic Iorfa heading Graham's corner wide with 15 minutes to go.

Graham took matters into his own hands moments later, cutting in from the left and curling the ball straight at de Vries from range.

Forest's final changes saw Mendes and Osborn make way for Blackstock and Jonny Williams as Freedman bolstered his attacking options 13 minutes from time.

And it turned out to be an inspired switch as Blackstock put his side level moments after entering the fray.

The equaliser came from Lansbury's corner, which saw the ball sail over everyone in the middle towards the back post. Blackstock watched it all the way and volleyed it home in composed fashion.

Forest had to be wary in their own area shortly after play resumed. Pinillos rose well to half-clear a corner with his head. The ball dropped for McDonald on the volley and he struck it sweetly towards the top corner. Pinillos recovered in time to block the ball's path.

Oliveira was the next man in the book for bringing down McDonald as he advanced towards the Forest area.

Four minutes were added on at the end of the match but neither side were able to find the winning goal.

Posted: Mon 14 Dec 2015
Author: Nick Richardson



Nottingham Forest extended their unbeaten run to four matches with a 0-0 draw at Ewood Park tonight.

The Reds came agonisingly close to an injury-time winner when Rovers keeper Jason Steele made a superb save to deny Matt Mills, tipping the defender's header on to the post.

Blackburn were earlier left ruing the woodwork after Ben Marshall's deflected effort cannoned off the crossbar.

The match was a scrappy affair but Forest remained resolute in defence to secure a valuable point and clean sheet.

Dougie Freedman made four changes to the team that drew at Wolves on Friday night.

Dexter Blackstock, who scored Forest's equaliser at Molineux, came into the starting line up along with Jamie Ward, Jonny Williams and Robert Tesche. Nelson Oliveira, David Vaughan, Chris O'Grady and Ryan Mendes were the men to miss out.

The first chance of the match fell to Forest on two minutes. Williams displayed good control to bring the ball down near the halfway line. He supplied Ward, who was pushed wide by a Blackburn defender. The winger managed to get his shot away but he could only fire the ball straight at Steele from the edge of the area.

Blackburn's response came eight minutes later when Craig Conway whipped the ball into the middle from a free-kick down the right. Hope Akpan met the ball with his head but could only direct it over the bar.

Michael Mancienne was the first name in the referee's notebook after he was booked for hauling back Fode Koita in the middle. Conway's subsequent free-kick found Shane Duffy, who headed the ball powerfully towards goal. Dorus de Vries got down low to make the save.

It was proving to be a scrappy first half with few chances for either side. Jordan Rhodes was being kept quiet but he came alive on 30 minutes when he got around Mancienne at the near post and dived to meet Conway's cross. The forward couldn't angle the ball inside the post with his header.

Rovers were looking the more likely team to take a first-half lead and they nearly had one nine minutes before the break. Former Leicester winger Marshall saw his long-range effort take a deflection off Eric Lichaj. With de Vries stranded, the ball struck the underside of the bar and bounced away to safety.

Tesche joined Mancienne in the book for a mistimed challenge on Conway shortly before the referee called time on the first half.

Forest emerged unchanged for the second half and set about breaking the deadlock when Ben Osborn supplied Lansbury in space 25 yards out. The Forest captain connected sweetly with his shot but it was comfortably dealt with by Steele.

Freedman's first change came on 57 minutes when Oliveira replaced Williams.

And, with 20 minutes to play, a superb piece of skill from the substitute almost proved the catalyst for Forest taking the lead. He spun away from a Blackburn man majestically in midfield before passing the ball to Osborn on the left. The winger cut back inside on his right and struck the ball towards Steele's bottom corner. The keeper dived to his right to make the save.

Moments later, Rovers missed a huge chance to take the lead when substitute Corry Evans' cross from the right picked out Koita unmarked six yards out. He could only head the ball straight into de Vries' arms.

Forest were presented with a good opportunity of their own with quarter of an hour to play when Osborn was tripped in a dangerous position. Ward took charge of the free-kick but blasted the ball into the wall.

With full-time approaching the match was stopped for a lengthy period when Lee Williamson, who only moments earlier had replaced Akpan, was assessed by medical staff following a heavy fall. He was deemed fit to continue.

Forest's final change saw O'Grady replace Blackstock shortly before eight minutes of added time were indicated by the fourth official.

And injury time saw Forest come within inches of grabbing a dramatic winner. Lansbury's corner was met by Mills at the back post. He headed the ball goalwards but Steele made a stunning save to push it on to the post.

There were no more chances for either side and the match ended 0-0.

Forest 2-1 MK Dons

Posted: Sat 19 Dec 2015
Author: Nick Richardson

Nottingham Forest secured their fourth successive home win with a 2-1 victory over MK Dons this afternoon.

First-half goals from Nelson Oliveira and Ryan Mendes gave Forest a comfortable lead which Oliveira almost added to with a shot that cannoned off the post after the break.

After Daniel Pinillos was substituted with a nasty-looking injury the Dons cranked up the pressure, missing a penalty before pulling a goal back with nine minutes to play.

But, despite a nervy end to the match, Forest held firm to claim the three points and extend their unbeaten run to five matches.

Dougie Freedman selected the same team that beat Fulham 3-0 in Forest's last match at The City Ground.

That saw Oliveira and Chris O'Grady resume their partnership up front, Henri Lansbury and David Vaughan in the middle and Matt Mills and Michael Mancienne in central defence.

Mendes also returned to the starting line up, while Jonny Williams and Dexter Blackstock were named among the substitutes.

The Reds got off to the best possible start by taking the lead with only two minutes on the clock. Mendes and Oliveira exchanged passes down the right, releasing the latter into the area. Oliveira looked like he was about to be pushed wide by his marker but a superb turn took the defender out of the game and allowed him to curl the ball low across goal into the far corner.

Nicky Maynard, who spent much of pre-season on trial with Forest, offered MK Dons' first response three minutes later. He benefited from Rob Hall's quick break, receiving the ball from the winger and taking it deep into Reds territory. Held up on the edge of the box, Maynard attempted a shot but could only fire the ball high and wide.

The Dons were looking bright in their hunt for an equaliser and nearly had one on eight minutes after Mancienne was penalised for a foul in a dangerous area. Hall curled the ball over the wall and towards Dorus de Vries' bottom corner but the Dutchman got down low to push it to safety.

It was certainly an open start, and Oliveira came close to scoring his second of the day when he fired the ball left-footed across goal and just wide after Ben Osborn's strong run through the middle.

Hall was proving to be a menace, however, and Forest had their heart in their mouths when his 20-yard strike looped up off Mancienne. The ball could have gone anywhere but it ended up safely in the clutches of de Vries.

The Dons barely had a minute to bemoan that missed opportunity before Forest doubled their lead. Pinillos' cross from deep caused confusion for Mendes' marker, who allowed the winger to get round him and make contact with the cross eight yards out. Mendes appeared to miscue his initial effort but the ball remained within range for him to poke home from his position on the ground.

It could, and probably should, have been 3-0 moments after the restart when Mendes nodded the ball on for Oliveira, sending him through one-on-one with Dons keeper David Martin. The striker's first touch appeared a little heavy, Martin closed the angle and Oliveira could only poke the ball inches wide.

It became a scrappy affair after that with only a speculative, off-target Mendes effort to report before referee Simon Hooper called time on an ideal first half for Freedman's men.

The Reds started the second half brightly and won a free-kick when Oliveira's excellent run was illegally halted by Antony Kay on the byline. Lansbury drilled the free-kick low into the area and the ball evaded Oliveira by inches before being cleared by the Dons defence.

Freedman's men were dominating the play but they were almost hit with a sucker punch when Mancienne failed to clear a low cross from the right, allowing the ball to run straight through to Bowditch. The forward struck it goalwards first-time but de Vries reacted quickly to make an excellent save.

A flurry of chances fell Forest's way when a defensive lapse allowed Vaughan into the area. He whipped the ball across the face of goal in the hope of presenting Mendes with a tap in but a defender managed to block its path. The ball came back out to Osborn, who's drilled effort failed to find its way to goal through a packed penalty area. Vaughan picked up the scraps and gave it back to Osborn in space, but the midfielder's precise effort with his weaker foot was directed tamely at the keeper.

Dons stopper Martin was called in to make a much more difficult save shortly afterwards when Lansbury's excellent free-kick looked destined for the bottom corner. Martin dived to his left to save superbly.

Oliveira's willingness to shoot from range makes him an unpredictable threat for opposition defences, and few could have expected the effort which saw the ball crash off the post on 66 minutes. At least 30 yards out and in a wide position, the forward fizzed the ball low towards goal only to be denied by the base of Martin's woodwork.

There was concern for Pinillos shortly afterwards when he had to be helped off by Forest's physios following an innocuous-looking incident near his own corner flag. Jack Hobbs replaced him, with Mancienne filling in at left back.

The injury appeared to take the sting out of Forest somewhat and MK Dons were handed a lifeline when substitute Josh Murphy, on for Ben Reeves, was tripped by Lichaj in the area, earning the American a booking and the visitors a penalty. Maynard stepped up and struck the ball firmly to de Vries's right but the keeper was able to make a brilliant stop.

Freedman then made his second change as Mendes came off for Jamie Ward, but there was nothing the substitute could do to prevent the visitors halving the deficit seconds later.

It was Murphy again, this time receiving a reverse pass from left back Dean Lexington and finishing clinically beyond de Vries.

With six minutes to play Trotter replaced Oliveira has Freedman looked to protect his side's lead.

The nervousness around the ground was palpable and the announcement of five minutes' added time did nothing to ease the tension.

But it wasn't to be enough for the visitors, who became the latest team to suffer at the hands of Forest at The City Ground.

Setting the stall out

Posted: Sat 26 Dec 2015
Author: NFFC

Nottingham Forest defender Jack Hobbs says The Reds must stamp their authority on Sunday’s game against Leeds United (kick-off 4.30pm).

The match will see two of the Championship’s in-form teams meet in front of the television cameras at The City Ground and Hobbs says Forest must be aware of the dangers posed by Steve Evans’ team.

Speaking to Forest Player HD, he said: “Leeds are a good side and they’ve got a lot of threat. We’ve got to respect them but at the same time go out and do what we have been doing which is stamping our authority on the game.

“We had a sticky patch where we were creating a lot of chances and not converting them and that got a bit frustrating for everyone.

“The gaffer sat us down and said we have to be more ruthless in our attacking play and since then I think we’ve been phenomenal. Scoring three goals against Reading and Fulham and then two against MK Dons was really pleasing for all of us.

“We’ve been scoring plenty but also defending well so hopefully that continues on Sunday.”

A large crowd is expected on Trentside for the contest and Hobbs says the support from the stands has had a positive effect on the team in recent weeks.

He said: “I’d like to say thank you to all the Forest fans for their support so far this season because we really do appreciate it. When they get behind us at The City Ground it makes a real difference.

“Hopefully everyone enjoyed their Christmas and it would be great to see a big crowd in on Sunday for what should be a really good game.”

Nottingham Forest supporters will be hoping for
some festive cheer when The Reds renew acquaintances
with Leeds United at The City Ground on Sunday afternoon
(kick-off 4.30pm).


Pre-match brief

There is plenty of history between Nottingham Forest and Leeds United but both teams will be looking to write a new chapter when two of the Sky Bet Championship's in-form sides meet at The City Ground on Sunday.

Only one point and two places currently separate Forest from their next opponents but, having achieved four home wins on the bounce, Dougie Freedman's men will be confident of leapfrogging the Whites with another victory.

Forest are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Leeds but will need to be wary of Steve Evans' side who have won three of their previous four matches, a run which has included victories over Hull and Wolves.

View from the Red corner

Dougie Freedman: “I’m looking forward to the game. I played for Leeds United and I know that it is a huge, fantastic club.

“But I know that a lot of teams will come to The City Ground fearing us and we need to make sure we intimidate them through our football.

“We have to be strong in our work, we know they have also hit a little bit of form and we’d encourage all the Forest fans to get down to the game on Sunday and hopefully the best team wins."

Forest 1-1 Leeds

Posted: Sun 27 Dec 2015
Author: NFFC



Nelson Oliveira's sixth goal of the season earned Nottingham Forest a 1-1 draw against Leeds United at The City Ground this afternoon.

Oliveira had given Forest a first-half lead as they looked for a fifth home win in a row but Sam Byram struck a late leveller to give the visitors a point to take back to Yorkshire as The Reds made it six games without defeat.

Dougie Freedman made one change from the side which beat Milton Keynes Dons last time out as Jack Hobbs replaced Daniel Pinillos with the Spaniard set for a long spell on the sidelines through injury.

A crackling atmosphere greeted the teams' arrival at The City Ground and it was Leeds who had the first chance of the afternoon after only two minutes as Stuart Dallas fired a warning shot across Dorus de Vries's goal and wide of the target.

Byram had scored two goals for Leeds in their recent win at Wolves and there was danger for The Reds as he made his way into the box after a neat one-two. The midfielder went down under Matt Mills' challenge but was shown a yellow card by referee James Linington for simulation.


It wasn't long though before Forest went in front. Mills played a delightful cross-field ball over the top and as Leeds goalkeeper Marco Silvestri and his defence hesitated, Oliveira nicked the ball away before slotting calmly into an empty net.

Leeds had a good opportunity to hit back shortly after the half-hour mark as Charlie Taylor delivered a superb left-wing cross but Chris Wood could only head over the crossbar as he lent back to try and make a good connection.

Chris O'Grady tried his best to double The Reds' advantage before half-time as tried a speculative effort from long range but it deflected up off a Leeds defender and into the grateful hands of Silvestri.


The two teams were unchanged after the interval and Oliveira had a chance to give Forest the perfect start two minutes into the second half. The Portuguese striker lined up a free-kick just outside the Leeds penalty area but his powerful strike was always rising and narrowly cleared Silvestri's crossbar.

Leeds then set about trying to equalise in the same way from which they had fallen behind as Wood latched onto a long ball over the top of the Forest back four. With de Vries unsure whether to come or stay at home, Wood fired high and wide and into the Bridgford Stand.

Ryan Mendes was the first Forest man to go into the referee's notebook on 57 minutes as the winger was cautioned for hauling back Taylor as Leeds broke down the left-hand side.

The resulting free-kick came to nothing and as Forest broke at the other end of the field, Ben Osborn's long-range strike earned a corner. Henri Lansbury's delivery to the back post was good but Mills saw his looping header cleared off the line by Luke Murphy.

Both managers then made their first changes of the game shortly after the hour as Jamie Ward replaced Mendes for Forest while Leeds brought on striker Souleymane Doukara in place of Lewis Cook.

Despite Leeds enjoying the majority of possession Forest were looking dangerous on the counter-attack and as Oliveira raced through the midfield, his ball through to Osborn was too strong and drifted behind for a goal-kick.

Freedman then opted to switch his formation to a 4-5-1 as he brought O'Grady from the field and replaced him with Robert Tesche.

Lansbury and Leeds defender Giuseppe Bellusci were both booked on 71 minutes as they angrily confronted each other after the Forest captain had challenged Silvestri for a ball inside the visitors' penalty area.

Steve Evans' side were leaving themselves exposed as they chased an equaliser and Ward almost made them pay four minutes later. He charged through the centre of the park unchallenged and Silvestri had to produce a fingertip save to turn his powerful shot over the crossbar.

The visitors had their leveller with ten minutes to play however. Byram received the ball 20 yards from goal before firing a precise effort beyond the outstretched de Vries and into the corner of the net.

Forest manager Freedman responded by making his final substitution as Oliver Burke came on for his fourth appearance of the season in place of David Vaughan.

With six minutes remaining Leeds had a golden opportunity to go in front as Scott Wootton was released down the right-hand channel. His cross in was a good one but substitute Mirco Antenucci somehow stabbed it wide of goal.

Antenucci turned provider two minutes later as he put a dangerous ball into the Forest penalty area but Wood couldn't make proper contact from six yards out and the ball drifted through to de Vries.

The game was an end-to-end affair in the closing stages and The Reds were next to attack. Burke came agonisingly close to his first goal in Forest colours as he hit a sweet strike but it cannoned off Silvestri's far post and away to safety.

Three minutes of stoppage time were added on at the end of the game but neither side could find a winner and the spoils were shared between two of the Sky Bet Championship's in-form teams.

Building momentum

Posted: Mon 28 Dec 2015
Author: Nick Richardson



Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Dorus de Vries hopes the team can continue to build momentum with a victory at Cardiff tomorrow night.


The Dutchman was helpless to prevent Sam Byram scoring an excellent equaliser for Leeds yesterday as Forest were held to a 1-1 draw at The City Ground.

But he is hoping to convert yesterday’s frustrations into success in the Welsh capital tomorrow, against a side who have won only twice in their last seven matches.

Speaking after the Leeds game, de Vries said: “It might be a good time to play them but, on the other hand, they will have had two days off and we’ll have had one as we’re travelling tomorrow (today). We don’t want to use that as an excuse of course – we want to go for the three points.

“We’ve got a little run going and we’re looking forward to the Cardiff game because we want to put things right by taking three points and keeping our momentum.“

Yesterday’s draw took Forest to within seven points of sixth place ahead of today’s Sky Bet Championship fixtures.

De Vries said: “I’m looking up, not down and I’m sure the whole squad is looking that way after the run we’ve been on since Brentford.

“We’re showing progression and we’ve got to keep showing that throughout the season. The Championship’s a long, long road and there are some hard games coming up.

“We’re all looking forward to the challenge.”

Cardiff 1-1 Forest

Oliver Burke scored his first senior goal as Nottingham Forest extended their unbeaten run to seven matches with a 1-1 draw at Cardiff tonight.

The young winger scored with a sumptuous curling effort to give The Reds an early lead which was cancelled out almost immediately by a heavily deflected Aron Gunnarsson effort.

Substitute Nelson Oliveira could have won the game for Forest with the last kick of the match but he blazed the ball over from six yards after David Marshall parried a shot in the forward's direction.

Dougie Freedman made six changes to the team that drew with Leeds two days ago. Oliver Burke, Jamie Ward, Jonny Williams, Robert Tesche, Liam Trotter and Dexter Blackstock came in and Henri Lansbury, Ryan Mendes, Nelson Oliveira, Chris O'Grady and Osborn dropped to the bench.

Cardiff claimed the first chance of the match on five minutes when Craig Noone's deep cross was headed back across goal by fellow winger Anthony Pilkington. The ball bounced inches wide of the far post as Forest received an early let-off.

The home side were hit with a sucker punch on ten minutes however. Tesche broke up play in midfield, allowing Blackstock the chance to supply Oliver Burke down the right. The youngster cut inside in the area and bent the ball towards the far corner with the outside of his boot. The ball nestled in the net to give the winger his first senior goal.

But Forest had the lead for only three minutes. Gunnarsson received the ball 22 yards out and struck it low towards goal. It took a huge deflection off Tesche, wrong-footing de Vries, and sailed into the net.

Seconds after play resumed, Tesche nearly sent the ball into the opposite net when it bounced kindly for him just outside the area. The German lashed it just wide.

It was proving to be an end-to-end affair and on 15 minutes Noone beat Michael Mancienne down the right and hung the ball up for Pilkington at the back post once again. This time Pilkington got his header on target but Dorus de Vries was untroubled.

The Dutch stopper was called in to make another comfortable save on 24 minutes, denying Joe Ralls, before he was forced to make a much more impressive stop a minute later. The ball ran through for Tony Watt in the area and de Vries got down brilliantly at his near post to prevent the Bluebirds taking the lead.

Oliver Burke was providing flashes of excitement for Forest and he could have doubled his goalscoring tally on the half-hour. Eric Lichaj's strong run down the right resulted in him cutting the ball back for the youngster in the area. Burke took it first time but couldn't keep his shot down.

Blackstock was the next Forest player to be left frustrated as the first half entered its latter stages. Cardiff keeper David Marshall got a fingertip to Ward's dangerous cross and the ball just evaded Blackstock, who for a moment looked like he would have a tap-in at the back post.

The second half began with a similar chance for Forest as Blackstock made a nuisance of himself as he tried to latch on to Tesche's dinked free-kick. The ball dropped near Williams six yards out but the attacking midfielder was unable to pounce and Marshall claimed.

Gunnarsson could have had his second of the night after a Cardiff free-kick was blocked by Forest's wall. Noone picked up the pieces and dinked the ball into the middle, where Gunnarsson rose highest. The Icelander could only head it harmlessly wide.

Freedman made his first change on 71 minutes, sending on Osborn in place of Williams.

And the substitute nearly played a huge role in putting Forest ahead with 11 minutes to play. Tesche and Ward exchanged passes in the middle before releasing Osborn down the right. The wide midfielder drilled the ball low into the centre where Ward was able to make contact, but he couldn't turn it home from just outside the six-yard box.

Oliveira was the next Forest player to be introduced, replacing Blackstock, before Lansbury came on for Burke with five minutes of normal time remaining.

A further five minutes were added on at the end of the match and Oliveira had a golden opportunity to win it in the dying seconds. Marshall could only parry Lansbury's effort towards the Portuguese forward six yards out but, with the ball bouncing, Oliveira sent it high over the bar.
