Nottm Forest v Swansea City Coca Cola League One
My third and final visit to the City Ground for this season. Many thanks must go to my Employers for allowing us to use their corporate tickets to the Legends Lounge.
Kev was accompanied by his son Dale, while my son Chris also came along.
It was a miserable, dark wet night Trentside - we were hoping the football would make things a little better, and for a while it looked like it might. Forest had a couple of decent chances, both Holt and
Thornhill having efforts well saved by Dorus De Vries in the Swansea goal.
Swansea showed at times why they are 10 points clear at the top of the table - neat, slick passing football, with every player looking collected on the ball. Best player ? Leon Britton -- he is only about 2' 6", but he can play, can this lad!!
H-T 0-0
Forest tried to breakdown the Swansea backline, but at the opposite end of the height scale, 6' 7" Dennis Lawrence calmly headed away everything that came at him.
Apart from a flurry of activity in injury time, Forest were fairly ineffective most of the game, and without Agago up top, they will struggle to score.
F-T 0-0
We stayed in the Lounge for a while after the game to try and miss the traffic, but with Kev driving in a "go-for-it" mood, we were home well before 11 o'clock!
I personally won't miss going to the city Ground again this season -- over 21,000 in attendance -- I'm used to 50 or 60 plus a couple of dogs!!!
Saturday -- spoilt for choice yet again !
Arnold Tn v Lincoln Moorlands / Glapwell v Glasshoughton / Teversal v Staveley / Eastwood Tn v Kendal Tn / Ilkeston Tn v Whitby Tn / Carlton Tn v Colwyn Bay / Gedling MW v Phoenix Sports / Calverton v Armthorpe / Heanor v Clipstone / Hucknall Tn v Harrogate Tn / Sutton Tn v Radcliffe Olympic -- none of these game stand out, so it will be a difficult choice ....
