Forest on top early again, another good save from Trafford keeps the scores level

Forest looking good if not dominant.... Lot of rust on display, miss hit passes, touches a bit wooly etc as to be expected.

That said we are at times playing some nice stuff. Cutting them open at points... Just a poor touch or shot away from trouing sels.

Really hope James cracks on and stays fit.... Mixed back so far but looks dangerous as always. Just won a header vs wood so things are on the up :lol: . Love for him to get a goal.

Dan James has put 2 brilliant balls on the 6 yard line! We look like we have never attacked the 6 yard line before though unfortunately...

Longstaff has to finish that, great run from James and he sets up Longstaff with a clear shot on goal. No defenders close. Not sure who set James away
