Grizz there were fireworks today but only as the teams came out.

Forest arrived on a bad run and rode their luck. On six minutes a shuddering tackle through the back of Cav brought the first booking, and by the 29th Forest had racked up three yellows. I will be interested to read what Gav thought of the ref today. To my mind, they havn't the b..lls to send a player off in the early stages. A red today may have prevented some of the brutal challenges. Wolves were seeing plenty of the ball and moved it well in the middle of the park, however, the cutting edge that was so prevalant in the early season has gone missing.

A number of our recent wins have come about through set pieces or long shots from Nevis. Bonetelli has some nice touches but is looking jaded. Crosses are flying about in the visitors area but no one is making a connection. Nevis again looks real class, pinging cross field passes with acute accuracy and Boly looks to find this level easy. Cody and Bennett are hardly giving the opponents a sniff. We never looked in any trouble untill Cody was carded for a tackle just before half time. Within three minutes of the free kick Wolves found themselves two down and a mountain to climb.

Douglas and Doherty who this season have set high standards, but not today were replaced at half time by Costa and Gibbs-White. Nuno to his credit was going for it. We pounded the Forest rear guard, but many of the efforts were high and wide and when a decent cross went in to the box the wolves payers were noticably absent. The visitors were now operating a back line of six, perhaps they had watched the Sunderland game. We huffed and puffed but we could not blow their house down. As the last five minutes arrived Forest, started playing keep ball to chants from their supporters "Were taking the p..s, were taking the p..s". This chant had followed up an earlier one of "You must be sh.t were winning away".

In fairness they probably earned their day in the sun (snow). Despite us having 63% of the possession we finished up with nothing and we were perhaps lucky to get that. If the referee had taken a stand earlier things may have been different but he didn't. We like most sides need a good striker, however they don't come cheap and are hard to find. With the Derby and Cardiff results going our way with draws, no real harm done. A good job we had results over Christmas,
