Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Nottingham Forest FC gets underway.
  • 4' What a moment for Yuri Ribeiro! That strike on 4 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 9' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Chris Hughton will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 14' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 19' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 19 minutes.
  • 24' Over 24 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 29' Sheffield Wednesday FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 34' Nottingham Forest FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Sheffield Wednesday FC backline.
  • 39' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 44' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 49' It’s high time Tony Pulis made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 54' It looks surprising Nottingham Forest FC does not make any changes. Ryan Yates has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 55' Sheffield Wednesday FC ring the changes. Kadeem Harris has done his job and it is now time for Callum Paterson to step up.
  • 60' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 65' 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.

  • 86' 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 Joseph Wildsmith suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' Lewis Grabban doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 89' Nottingham Forest FC ring the changes. Alexander Mighten has done his job and it is now time for Joe Lolley to step up.
