Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between Blackburn Rovers FC and Nottingham Forest FC.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Blackburn Rovers FC that had 382 games and scored 469 goals.
  • 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Blackburn Rovers FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 15' It’s high time Sabri Lamouchi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 22' Blackburn Rovers FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 22.
  • 27' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 32' Nottingham Forest FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 33' Sammy Ameobi picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 38' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 43' The 28-year-old Lewis Travis has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 48' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 53' It looks surprising Nottingham Forest FC does not make any changes. Elliott Bennett has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 58' The home supporters are growing impatient. Blackburn Rovers FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 59' Blackburn Rovers FC make a change. Sam Gallagher trudges off to be replaced by Joe Rothwell on 59 minutes.
  • 60' Stewart Downing has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 60.
  • 62' Sammy Ameobi makes way for Joao Carvalho at the 62 minute mark. A tactical switch from Nottingham Forest FC.
  • 63' Adam Armstrong makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Blackburn Rovers FC are in front.
  • 65' Joe Lolley doubles the advantage! 1-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 70' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 72' Albert Adomah gets the nod from Nottingham Forest FC. He replaces Yuri Ribeiro and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 77' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Sammy Ameobi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' Fresh legs for Nottingham Forest FC! Tiago Silva comes on to replace Samba Sow.
  • 83' Another change for Blackburn Rovers FC made on 83 minute. Danny Graham leaves to be changed by Dominic Samuel.
