Keegans Notes

Could It Get Any Harder

Just when I thought things were going very well then we go and get probably the hardest draw in the Champions League Best Placed Playoff.



Porto play Club Brugges of Belgium in what looks a tight match up. AEK Athens are to play Russians Zenit, Ukrainian High League side Metalist have a tough draw against Fiorentina and Fenerbahce plays Sevilla.

But the most mouth watering tie of the round is Forest and Dortmund against each other.

This could not have been any more difficult for us said captain Damir Gajski. We can get a result though because we deserve to be in the Champions League and will try to get there on merit. I believe we will

Forest vs Liverpool Thriller

vs

Ross Barkley played the part of super for super-sub for The Reds today as they came from behind to defeat Liverpool on a breezy afternoon at Anfield.

Liverpool's Seager was forced off by injury in the 29th minute. Striker Ales Jersin gave Liverpool the lead with a real poacher's effort from 18 metres in the 31st minute.

Striker Piter then equalised on his debut for Forest in the 42nd minute with an accurate finish from inside the penalty area. Jersin then gave Liverpool the lead again with a fine header from point blank range from a corner on the 45th minute.

I told the guys to go out there and show there worth in the second and threw on Rebic, Barkley and Kyle.

Liverpool then got there second injury of the match when Ferraioli was forced off in the 60th minute. Then Holub was also forced off in the 66th minute.

Super-sub Ross Barkley then equalised in the 66th minute with a real poachers effort from 14 yards out and then Wayne smith put Forest ahead for the first time in the 88th minute with a placed shot.


Barkley showed just how good his experience would be this season

It was a sensational effort from Smith and captured the attention of fans and pundits alike. Forest fans might have been forgiven for thinking there side would be happy with just the winner but the scoring was not over.

Morgan Thomas finally rounded off there victory with a close range finish on the 94th minute.

Keegans Notes

Champions League Tie Finely Balanced

After an amazing night at Signal Induna Park. The Champions League Playoff Tie is in the balance but the odds are now slightly in our favour as The Sun reports.

Forest Concede Leate But Are Still In Charge

On a fine Evening in Dortmund we saw Nottingham Forest come of age against one of the big team in Europe. The fact that Dortmund had a poor season last season meant that they had to qualify for the Champions League group stages.


Interesting match at Signal Induna Park

Forest, who had finished 4th now for the last two years faced a uphill battle but with signings like Cotton, Darmain and Piter things were looking up. However it was youth starlet Nirvana who played super-sub here as The Reds came from behind to claim a draw.

Dortmund started the brighter but new signing and England international Brenton Daley looked inspired as Timo Werner and Jamelao came close early on. It was Werner though who made the pressure count and scored the opening goal with an accurate finish in the 43rd minute. Nottingham Forest's equaliser came against the run of play through sub Adam Williams as he seized on Quissama's mistake to score a fine header that Morgan Thomas would have been proud of from point blank range.

The tie then swayed in the favour of Forest and there pressure was rewarded with a goal through Nirvana. It was good work from Kinteh on the right to get to the by line and sweep a cross in for Nirvana to head home. Dortmund went to sleep but on the 92nd minute an error from the impressive Tommy Cotton was seized on by Jamalao to power home for a 2-2 draw.

We spoke to Kevin Keegan after the match and he was satisfied with his side's nights work. I think we played well, it is obvious the new signings have added something and eventually they will gel properly and our team will be amazing. Tommy Cotton claimed Man Of The Match and he deserved it too.
