Forest pair Earnshaw and Turner our for season
NOTTINGHAM Forest's battle for Championship survival was dealt a double blow today with top scorer Robert Earnshaw and goalkeeper Iain Turner ruled out for the season.
Earnshaw scored his 16th goal of the campaign in the 3-2 win against Bristol City on Saturday but came off with a knee injury.

Rob Earnshaw
And that knock is now set to see him miss the final four games of the campaign, including today's match at Sheffield United.
Turner, on loan from Everton, has broken a toe and will play no part in the last three weeks of the campaign.
The Reds are one place outside the bottom three with games to follow against Coventry, Blackpool and Southampton after today.

“Just noticed Mikedevon posted his comment at 23 minutes past 3. Certainly not from Sheffield. Don't bother in future Mike. But no doubt you'll say it's the first game you've missed.”

“Adam, Nottingham
Spot on mate. These are the "supporters" we can do without.
Mikedevon was obviously not at the game today to get home in time to post. A "fan" at best, go watch Torquay or Exeter!”

“Wilson now sent off !! Where the hell is the discipline????? Surely the team needs to hold tight. With Earnshaw out...that is it as far as I am concerned !! Down we go and half the team will go too!!”
