Events
Match Events

- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jack Stacey, as he is very good at scoring at City Ground, Nottingham with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 15' Nottingham Forest FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 20' Nottingham Forest FC is showing some good football. However, Nottingham Forest FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 30' 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.
