Forest V Gillingham

The Squad Stayed The Same And I Was Looking Foward To Getting Revenge Over These. The Only Change Was Keeper Paul Smith Who Was Injured Came Off For Rune Pedersen. I Wanted The Win And The Boys Knew That So They Dominated From The Off. 4 Great Chances In THe First 8 Minutes And A Minute Later A Great Ball From A Commons Corner Met The Head Of Lester At The Front Post. 1 - 0 And I Was Bursting With Enjoyment. We Wernt Going To Stop Then So 10 Minutes Later Another Commons Corner Met The Head of Lester At The Front Post For His Second And Forest's Second. We Kept On Dominating And In The 35th Minute A Lucky Shot From Gillingham Striker Hit Off James Perch To Make It 2-1. I Was Gutted But Told The Boys To Keep There Heads Up. After The Goal The Game Went Even And The Half Time Whistle Went. At The Break I Gave The Boys Encouragement So They Would Keep Going Playing There Football. It Seemed To Work As We Came Out All Guns Blazing And Nathan Tyson Was So Unlucky To Score. The 68th Minute Came And I Decided To Take Off Tyson, Lester And Perch For Stewart, Grant Holt And Gary Holt. Lester Got A Standing Ovation. I Was Hoping The Subs Would Make A Big Impact But It Didnt Work. Gillingham Came Back And Showed Fighting Action. In The 84th Minute A Disaster Struck With A Great Gillingham Cross Meeting Flynn's Header To Make It 2-2. I Was Gutted. We Couldn't Find A Late Goal And When The Final Whistle Went I Could'nt Believe We Had Drew.
Forest 2 - 2 Gillingham
