  • 10' The travelling Queens Park Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Nottingham Forest FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 20' Nottingham Forest FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Nottingham Forest FC and Queens Park Rangers FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 30' The 34-year-old Joe Lolley has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joe Worrall made 414 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' It looks like no one’s ball. Queens Park Rangers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 45' Sammy Ameobi has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 50' Angel Rangel needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 54' A meaty challenge results in booking for Adama Diakhaby on 54.
  • 59' Nottingham Forest FC have won 443 goals from 382 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 60' Sammy Ameobi makes way for Ryan Yates at the 60 minute mark. A tactical switch from Nottingham Forest FC.
  • 63' A meaty challenge results in booking for Angel Rangel on 63.
  • 68' Queens Park Rangers FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 71' It is a substitution in Nottingham Forest FC team. Adama Diakhaby is replaced by Alexander Mighten on 71 minute.
  • 76' Jordan Hugill has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 76.
  • 76' The crowd applauds Marc Pugh as he leaves the pitch. Ilias Chair steps in for Queens Park Rangers FC.
  • 78' Joao Carvalho is ready to make an impact after coming on for Tiago Silva at the 78 minute mark.
  • 83' 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 Joao Carvalho suffering a number of foals already.
  • 88' Another substitution for Queens Park Rangers FC to replace Eberechi Eze by Luke Amos on 88 minute.
  • 90' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Bright Osayi-Samuel on 90 minutes.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
