BUTLAND: Got away with one poor pass out from the back, but one great tip away ........8 EDWARDS: Recovered superbly from one slip and remained diligent defensively............. 8 MARTINS INDI: Filled in capably at left-back once more... a second career beckoning perhaps ............................. 7 SHAWCROSS: Good positioning, solid in the air, strong in the tackle .......................... 8 WILLIAMS: In far greater control of proceedings compared to his first few games ......... 7 WOODS: Terrifically tenacious in the challenge and always looking for that killer ball going forward......................... ETEBO: Not afraid to get stuck in when required and picked a decent pass when he had the chance .................. 6 ALLEN: Relished his frequent tangles with Colback in the midfield scrum and, as ever, gave at least as good as he got .................................... 7 DIOUF: A couple of far post nearly moments in the second half, but struggled to really get into the game .................... 6 AFOBE: Left everyone mystified by that ‘red-card’ moment with Forest keeper and that was as close, by far, as he came to ending his drought . 6 MCCLEAN: Fair play, the abuse inspired him if anything to become his side’s best attacking threat.................. SUBSTITUTES BERAHINO (for Diouf, 70): Oh dear, wretched far-post header as he spurned a late chance to score .............................5 CLUCAS (for Etebo,76): Nice to see him on the pitch at long, long last for his debut .6 CROUCH (for Afobe,79): Late, late looping header at the far post was cleared off the line 6 Subs not used: Federici, Fletcher, Martina, Bojan. Forest: Pantilimon, Darikwa, Robinson, Dawson, Figueiredo, Guedioura (Yacob,76), Colback, Cash, Carvalho (Dias, 86), Lolley, Grabban. Subs: Steele, Osborn, Janko, Ansarifard, Hefele. 7 8 THINGS are improving. Our defence was sold, our midfield dominated and we got another away point. It’s a pity our forwards are letting us down. No one wants to have a shot at goal. I lost count of how many times we passed the ball around, in or just outside the box without anyone having the confidence to shoot. I think most fans would prefer a shot at goal even if it doesn’t go in. It’s so frustrating, Ryan Shawcross seems to be getting back some
