Strange today not having my 't'old fella' with me as I venture to see Forest for the 2nd time this week. After Tuesday's awful display was it the right choice? Well after 45 minutes maybe not. A slight improvement but not a lot!!
Can't remember too much incident although the Stags winning 4-0 caused a stir at half time.Phoned my blog buddy who sounded pretty miserable as the game at Gedling was apparently a re-run of the Forest vs. Oldham debacle - dire!!!
Second half was loads better. We had a great view of both goals scored at the Trent end. Credit to a very fussy referee for seeing the handball for the penalty for the opener. From our view it was deliberate - no debate. It was one of the few times in the last two games that I was confident Junior Agogo wouldn't be offside...... as he stroked the spot kick into the bottom corner....1-0 and the atmosphere changed at last.
Midway through the half and Nathan Tyson was introduced - back after injury.Strewth he's quicker than Malc going straight into the loo when we enter the pub!!! (joke pal). From a break down the left by Julian Bennett - he fires over a terrific cross for Tyson to volley acrobatically left footed and high into the net from 12 yards out. 2-0 and what a superb strike.
More chances followed as the Reds turned on the confidence but credit at the other end to Paul Smith for a brilliant save near the end as he pushed a goal bound effort onto his post before it was hacked away. All in all a good second half to make up for the other suffering this week.
Today I didn't mind having freebie tickets for the game. Thanks to Malc and his colleagues at Wallis for Tuesday's tickets and thanks to Nigel Woolley at NFFC for today's - they were greatly appreciated.
Roll on Tuesday's trip out.
