Forest 1-1 Wolves

Nottingham Forest's home campaign came to an end with a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers this afternoon.

Both goals came in the second half, Joe Mason putting the visitors ahead before Gary Gardner equalised with a deftly-executed free-kick.

Paul Williams named an unchanged side following the 3-1 win at Fulham last weekend.

That meant Dexter Blackstock continued as a lone striker supported by attacking midfielder Henri Lansbury, while Danny Fox continued his central-defensive partnership with Matt Mills.

Britt Assombalonga was named on the bench once again, accompanied by fellow strikers Chris O'Grady and Federico Macheda and young centre back Joe Worrall.

Forest's first sight of goal came on five minutes when Gardner tried a shot from 30 yards. The ball took a heavy deflection off Dominic Iorfa, leaving Wolves keeper Carl Ikeme stranded, but it dipped on to the roof of the net.

Wolves were looking assured in the opening stages of the game but Forest had another half-chance on 18 minutes when Bojan Jokic hung the ball up in the middle for Blackstock. The forward outleaped his marker but still had a lot to do with his header, and he could only nod the ball over.

The Reds came within inches of taking the lead a minute later after neatly working the ball infield from the right wing. Lansbury and Ben Osborn worked together to present Chris Cohen with a shooting chance 20 yards out and the midfielder fizzed the ball low and just wide of the post with his left foot.

Fox required treatment on 28 minutes but was deemed fit to continue, and he and his defensive team-mates were tested shortly afterwards when Jed Wallace worked the ball to Joe Mason on the edge of Forest's area. The latter could only blaze the ball wide.

Forest's response was almost immediate, Robert Tesche showing neat footwork down the right and finding Cohen inside the area. The midfielder crossed the ball to the back post, where Osborn was waiting to nod it down for the nearby Blackstock. The forward guided the ball into the centre but Wolves got to it first, clearing the danger.

One minute was added on at the end of the half and, just before the whistle, Forest came agonisingly close to making it 1-0. Lansbury's corner found Fox at the back post, who made excellent contact with his header. Ikeme could only parry the ball down to Gardner eight yards out but the Aston Villa loanee was unable to guide his shot through the crowd of bodies on the line.

The first action of the second half saw Mills booked for a foul on James Henry on 50 minutes. Henry claimed the half's first shot three minutes later, firing the ball well over from 20 yards.

Wolves were enjoying the better of the second half's early exchanges and defender Danny Batth had two chances in quick succession on 56 minutes. First he saw his shot blocked near the line by Lansbury, before he failed to turn the ball home at the back post when the ball was curled back into the centre.

But the visitors had the lead shortly afterwards when Mason shifted the ball on to his left foot before curling it low off the inside of the post from the edge of the area.

Williams made his first change as Wolves celebrated, Oliver Burke replacing Cohen down the right.

And the youngster made an immediate impact, racing down the right, cutting into the area and seeing his low shot turned behind for a corner.

It could, and perhaps should, have been 2-0 to Wolves on 64 minutes however. Osborn and Jokic conceded possession after failing to work the ball out of a tight situation, leaving Forest outnumbered deep in their own final third. Wolves worked the ball across to Henry who drove it low and just wide of the far post from just inside the area.

But Forest made the visitors pay four minutes later after Lansbury was fouled just outside the 'D'. Gardner took responsibility for the set piece, curling it over the wall and into the bottom corner. Ikeme barely moved.

Assombalonga replaced Blackstock before play resumed, and Forest nearly completed the turnaround moments after the restart when Gardner lashed the ball just wide with a long-range half-volley.

Forest were in the ascendancy but finding Wolves a tough nut to crack in their pursuit of a winner. Tesche looped the ball over the top and Burke did well to take the ball in his stride down the right. He looked to square it for Assombalonga but Ikeme got down well to halt the ball's path. Moments later, Lansbury sent the ball over the bar with a 25-yard shot.

Burke's pace had provided Forest with another dimension and it nearly paid dividends with five minutes of normal time to play. The winger burst infield from the right and showed good close control to evade a defender. Unfortunately for him, he saw his shot blocked.

Wolves' Conor Coady went close with a 25-yard effort before four minutes of added time were indicated.

But neither side could muster a winner as Forest's home campaign ended in stalemate.

Clark and McGovern hail Clough’s contribution

Nottingham Forest duo Frank Clark and John McGovern have paid homage to Brian Clough after the club recognised the manager’s contribution with a Lifetime Achievement award.

The announcement was made at Monday night’s 150th anniversary gala dinner and Clark and McGovern, who both played under the legendary manager during Forest’s most successful period, collected the award on behalf of the Clough family.

Clark told Forest Player HD: “A lifetime achievement award – he deserves that for what he did for Nottingham Forest Football Club over a period of 18 years.

“Not just for the great times in the late 70s and early 80s, but the time after that when it was very difficult for a club like Nottingham Forest to compete.

“The money was starting to come into the game and he still kept the team in the top half of the Premier League, and also won two League Cups - a fantastic achievement at the football club.”

McGovern echoed his former team-mate’s sentiments: “Clough was a special man. He brought special talents to the club and used his own special way of preaching a philosophy.

“It’s obviously sad that he’s not with us now but when he left this earth they certainly broke the mould because there’ll never be another one like him – quite unique.”

MK Dons 1-2 Forest

Posted: Sat 07 May 2016

Goals from Chris Cohen and Britt Assombalonga, who both returned from serious injuries this season, handed ten-man Nottingham Forest victory at MK Dons on the final day of the 2015-16 campaign.
Cohen gave The Reds the lead with an early header, his first goal since September 2013, before Nicky Maynard equalised for the hosts.

Assombalonga was introduced in the second half and with 16 minutes to go he scored his first goal since 11 February 2015 - the day he injured his knee against Wigan Athletic - to bring Forest's season to a dramatic and happy end.

A sickness bug in the camp meant Paul Williams had to reshuffle his pack. Chris O'Grady returned to the side up front, while Oliver Burke was handed a start on the right wing.

Henri Lansbury and Dexter Blackstock, who both started against Wolves last week, were unavailable, while Dimitar Evtimov's absence meant Under 18s goalkeeper Jordan Wright was given a spot on the bench for the first time.

Forest started the game strongly on a warm afternoon at stadiummk. Ben Osborn showed a nice stepover to cut in from the left but he didn't catch his shot cleanly, Dons keeper Charlie Burns making a comfortable save.

Matt Mills had a good opportunity to put The Reds ahead three minutes later when Osborn found him from a corner. The centre back connected well with his side-footed volley but Burns was able to make the save.

A minute later, however, The Reds had the lead. Osborn was the architect once again, drifting the ball to the back post for Cohen to meet it with a diving header. The midfielder guided it across Burns and into the net.

It was nearly two on 14 minutes when Eric Lichaj tried his luck from 20 yards. The ball was half-cleared to him following Osborn's corner and he struck it low with the outside of his right boot, fizzing it just wide.

Forest, who were completely dominating the opening exchanges, utilised Burke's pace to keep up their pressure when he raced to the byline and cut the ball into the middle. A Dons defender managed to loop it over his own bar and to safety.

The home side had a surprise equaliser on 19 minutes, however. Samir Carruthers sliced Forest's defence open with a tremendous through ball for winger Josh Murphy, who squared it for Maynard to finish emphatically beyond Dorus de Vries.

That gave the hosts a boost and they twice went close to taking the lead when Joe Walsh headed the ball just over and Murphy sent a shot across the face of goal and just wide of the far post.

And with half-time approaching the Dons' chances of winning increased when Danny Fox was red-carded after sliding in on Jordan Spence. Williams' response was to send centre back Michael Mancienne on for O'Grady, with Cohen moving wide right and Burke up front.

Forest managed to see out the half comfortably and within a minute of the restart Burke was causing problems again, scampering to the byline only to see his cut-back cleared once again.

Osborn nearly scored shortly afterwards, striking the ball powerfully from the edge of the area despite running wide of goal. Burns dived to his left to push it away.

Dorus de Vries was named Forest's Player of the Season earlier in the week and he made an excellent save just after the hour to keep out substitute Ben Reeves' header. Kevin Long nodded the ball wide on the follow-up.

There were huge cheers from the 4,000-strong away following during the subsequent stoppage as Assombalonga took to the field, replacing Robert Tesche.

Clear-cut chances were proving to be few for either side and the next incident of note saw Osborn enter the book for a foul on Carruthers.

The Dons were finding ten-man Forest a tough nut to crack but should perhaps have taken the lead on 68 minutes when Carl Baker picked out Maynard six yards out. The striker could only lift the ball over.

Forest's final change saw Burke replaced by Ryan Mendes with 20 minutes to play. Shortly after play resumed, Reeves curled the ball just wide from distance.

Mendes nearly marked the final match of his loan spell in superb style when he collected the ball in plenty of space down the left. The Cape Verdean wriggled his way infield and into shooting range before skimming the ball along the top of the net and over.

But Forest did have the ball in the net on 74 minutes and there couldn't have been a more popular goalscorer. Osborn showed tremendous skill to beat his man before supplying Assombalonga in the area. The striker rolled it to his right, deceiving the defenders and goalkeeper, before firing it low into the opposite corner.

The visitors had to remain resolute at the back and had de Vries to thank again when he got down low to save on his line from Long.

Four minutes were added on at the end of the match, during which Murphy lashed the ball wide for the hosts.

But Forest held on to claim an excellent three points despite their man disadvantage.
