LEAKY FOREST FIRE

SUNDAY MIRROR

Michael Jacobs equalised. Oliver Burke’s two welltaken goals twice put Forest in control again, only for Will Grigg to twice finish from close range to level.

But defender Lam had the final say. Montanier said: “We left it too open for Wigan to come back three times.

“I can accept that happening once, but to repeat it again and again . . we will give ourselves more problems if we do that.

“We can’t continue to defend in the same way. We can’t concede the goals we have.

“It’s a mental issue. Our defenders take a lot of risk and when we attack we need a better balance defensively.

“I enjoy the spirit of the team and we showed our character to win. But there needs to be a balance. We have to learn quickly because I can’t accept this.”

An upset Caldwell was convinced Possession 51% 49% Shots On Target 10 5 Shots Off Target 7 5 Blocked Shots 6 3 Corners 5 5 Fouls Conceded 6 12 Offsides 1 1 Yellow Cards 4 4 Red Cards 0 0 referee James Linington should have sent off Lam for a tussle with Grigg before his winner.

Grigg was cautioned but Lam – already booked - escaped unpunished.

“I was very disappointed and very angry,” said Caldwell “We played well again but ultimately didn’t get anything again.

“Thomas Lam should not have been on the pitch to score the goal.“
