ITFC 1 Nottingham Forest 1 Sat 280314
The view from tunnel cam before the Forest game:
Town went a goal behind early (5th minute) for the second time in a row. Forest played well and Gurken had to make some good saves. In the second half though the Forest keeper had to play well to stop Town scoring but Town equalised through a header from Murphy. In the end it could be said a draw was a fair result for both teams who each had chances to win the game but neither took them.
Town team
I was very surprised before the game to find Antony Wordsworth was not included in the team or squad!
He had started the last 2 games and done well but Skuse was back from injury and Paul Green came into the side. I really could not understand why Mick left Wordsworth out but manager Mick explained after the game he felt Cole Skuse deserved his team place coming back from injury. I feel this was a bit harsh that Wordsworth didn’t make the squad, with Mick saying he felt his chosen substitutes would make the best impact if needed. I hope Wordsworth reacts well to this as I feel Town are better when he plays in the side. I hope Wordsworth can impress Mick somehow and get a place back in the squad!

Apart from that a draw still keeps Town’s play-off hopes alive. Now there are only 7 games left and all to play for still. If Town get some wins they can get to the play offs but Wigan, Reading, Forest and Brighton will all be trying hard to beat Town to that sixth place position.
Good news is that Jonny Williams has had his loan spell extended to the end of the season. He has been great for Town so far and has impressed me and many others.
The Town away games are tough (especially against Blackburn and Burnley) but they are all winnable.
Come on Town for a great end to the season and who knows what could happen if Town get to that sixth spot and get to the play-offs. If Town can maintain their current good form and play and be calm, confident and yet ruthless it good be a really great end to the season for Town!
COME ON TOWN! LET’S GO ALL THE WAY NOW!! Dare to dream but stay focussed and DO IT!
