Latest Nottingham Forest news as Nuno Espirito Santo's Reds draw 1-1 with Luton Town at Kenilworth Road
Familiar frustrations were accompanied by a feeling of nervous apprehension for Nottingham Forest after the full-time whistle on Saturday.
There was no question about it being two points dropped by Nuno Espirito Santo’s side. The unknown is how valuable the one gained will prove to be. Nuno’s challenge of getting more goals from his team has only been made harder by a fresh injury blow for Taiwo Awoniyi. The Nigeria international had not got back to anywhere near full sharpness since recovering from groin surgery, but his absence now denies Forest another option. Chris Wood stepped up with a goal at Kenilworth Road, and the Reds are going to need him to keep going on that front.
Nuno’s hand was forced to some extent in that Wood seemed to pick up a knock, although his departure was seen as precautionary. But bringing Origi off at the same time suddenly changed the attacking dynamic. Gibbs-White then made way shortly after, with Nuno saying he was “struggling”. Still, Gio Reyna must be wondering what he has to do to get an opportunity.
“We look OK on one side, but it is always hard. It is about concentration, focus and commitment,” Nuno said on the subject. “We had big boys on the pitch to solve the set-piece situation, but the problem is in front. The game should be over much, much earlier.”The fortnight hiatus, though, offers an opportunity for something of a reset. Forest have a nine-game sprint once they reconvene.
