NOTTINGHAM Forest took their unbeaten run to eight games following their 1-1 draw with Bristol City but Reds boss Billy Davies was disappointed they conceded a late equaliser.

Wes Morgan had given Forest an 86th-minute lead with his first goal of the season but in the final minute of normal time, Danny Haynes pounced for an equaliser.

Davies said: "I always thought it would be a tight game, maybe decided by one goal so I was disappointed that we conceded so late in the game having taken the lead.

"It was a soft goal to concede because our two central defenders had been excellent up until that point but we were beaten to the ball in the air and then caught ball-watching.

"I'm not complaining because we got a draw at Cardiff last weekend with a last-minute goal but it was a pity that we switched off.

"I've told the players that although we lost two points at the end it could prove to be a crucial point by the end of the season. The draw keeps us moving forward and maintains our unbeaten home run but I know there's still a lot of hard work to be done here."

    “A fair result for what was a fairly poor game, neither keeper doing much but pick the ball out of their nets, our shooting still needs working on just snatching at shots,thought Cohen and Wilson were very good,they were definitely after McKenna, he pulls the strings another kick would have seen him hobble off, still its on course for a good season, thats me finished for 2 weeks, being dragged to Egypt kicking and screaming lol, see you all at Middlesbrough.”
