That would be my team as well. Anything but a win unacceptable, especially after the disappointing dropped points in the last 3 games.

It was interesting that the only time he got really serious while talking was in discussing Mowbray. I think there was a mutual respect there and he clearly felt hard done by not getting enough starts but end of the day Mowbray got more out of him than most managers and despite his claims of being out of the squad he played a part in most games. Pours cold water on the claims that Mowbray is soft on the players and is too nice with them.

You want to play Wharton after his performance against Watford? He looked well out of his depth and made an already shaky looking defence look even worse. Williams has been one of our best players this season. 3 clean sheets with him in the team, 0% win rate with him out.

Just tuned in. Are my eyes deceiving me? Brereton actually scored a goal??

Own goal, missed penalty, injury to Ayala - just not our day today. The positive - we dominated in every department against one of the best teams in the division. The negative - domination counts for nothing if we don't get the 3 points. Feel really frustrated tonight, but I'm chalking it up to an unstable team at the minute. Elliott, Trybull, and Douglas all need to come into the first 11 on Saturday.

What a save from Kaminski there after Wharton put us in trouble.

I 100% knew that was getting saved...

Just tuned in. Are my eyes deceiving me? Brereton actually scored a goal??

End of the day there was no creativity in the squad to create decent chances for Armstrong. It was very frustrating to see Gallagher brought on on the right wing again when clearly we were struggling to break Forest down passing it around them. Gallagher to his credit won several aerial challenges when he first came on, but his chances were few and far between out on the wing. Given Armstrong was probably our most creative player on the pitch (other than maybe Buckley), it would have made way more sense to shift Armstrong out wide to help create chances, and have Gallagher through the middle and focus on getting crosses into him to at least try something different. Bringing Brennan on as well was a mistake imo. Forest are doing poorly but probably have one of the best sides in the league, so to bring him on for his debut with the scores at 0-0 just seemed daft. We should have just stuck to it with the 11 we had on the field, but either tried a different tactic or formation if we really wanted to try and nick a win. Being harsh on Mowbray here because we had way too many players out, but some of his decisions cost us today and he has to take some of the blame.

Absolutely disgusted by that. 0-0 and it's a decent result at a time when several of our best players are missing. 0-1 and it feels like major regression.

That tackle from Brereton was absolutely pathetic.

Beautiful pass from Nyambe there - unlucky that Gallagher's pullback couldn't find anyone. Feels like there's a goal coming... just hope it's for us!

Gallagher has looked good since coming on, give the guy a break.

Bell has scored more goals for Rovers than Brereton.

Selfish by Brereton there. Could have laid it off to Bell who was in acres of space on the left.

Evans does look a bit lost out there. I think he's been out injured too long and not used to the tempo we play at now. Very much been a stalemate so far.. neither team able to make much happen.

Few upsets on the cards tonight maybe. Rotherham 1-0 up against Norwich and Barnsley 1-0 up against Bristol. Good time for us to pick up 3 points...

Just spotted an old familiar face on the touchline - Steven Reid. Didn't realise he was part of the backroom staff for Forest now.

Forest have a very strong team out. Lolley, Ameobi, Freeman, Grabban all playing.

Can't see anything but a draw today. Too many players out - if we do happen to pick up a win tonight then that would be a real sign of our intentions and ability this season. Hoping for a Brero wonder goal tonight!

Maybe at his age he's not at his peak anymore, but he is basically as good as we could hope for at LB in the Championship. Better than Cunningham IMO. I think our team looks so good right now, and would be even better if we were to bring in Pears and Trybull as well. My only worry is the injury-proneness of a lot of our players and the impact that could have on our season. Other than that, we are promotion contenders and I am gearing up for an exciting season!

Brereton needs to be taken off. I've seen him run away from the ball too many times in this game and he's constantly pointing to others to mark a man, while avoiding defensive duites himself. Really annoying me today.

Johnson having a really poor game today. He's not been able to have the same influence on the game today and it's been hurting our chances.

We're really pushing for a goal before half time.

I think it's got to be Brereton/Gallagher fighting for 1 spot and Dolan/Chapman fighting for the other.
