|

Skysports.
A late strike from Nathan Tyson rescued Nottingham Forest a point against Millwall at The Den.
Struggling Millwall had taken a two-goal lead through Neil Harris and loan signing Jay Simpson, but goals from Chris Cohen and Tyson in the final five minutes left honours even.
Forest could have reclaimed second place with a win, but things did not appear to be going to plan for Colin Calderwood's high-flying side as Harris struck in a free-kick after 27 minutes.
And after the interval midfielder Simpson, on loan at The Den from Arsenal, pounced to double the advantage.
Kenny Jackett's side looked good value for their lead and the three points which would have moved them up to 19th position in the table, while still enjoying a game in hand over some of their relegation rivals.
However, first Forest midfielder Cohen netted in the 85th minute to leave the Millwall faithful fearing a nervy finish.
And their fears were confirmed with two minutes remaining as Tyson struck to secure what could prove a vital point in the battle for promotion to the Championship.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vital last minute equaliser for Forest, puts them into joint 2nd place.

Tyson is a great little striker, problem is he's very injury prone & like Owen struggles with his hamstring, calf muscles etc. For this reason he'd also be wasted in the Championship or even the premiership.

Yeah i see what you mean about the injury jinx he seems to carry
Shame really as when playing he is a very handy player to have in the side
I used to watch him at Wycombe a bit - impressed me instantly

He cost us 750,000 from Wycombe which is a bit of a hefty fee for a lower club. There's reported interest from Megson at Bolton & Leicester which would see us double our money on him. Which is against the norm for our selling policy !!!!
Mind you, we made 1 mill on the sell on clause when Marlon joined Villa & a reported 1.5 mill on the sell on for Marlon King to Wigan.

Actually, we have a ready made replacement in a young guy called Emille Sinclair. This lad is class & scores goals for fun in the reserves. Problem is, once out on the scene he'll be on his way to the premiership for sure.
Also we've just signed a young lad from Bromley who's been prolific for them this season. Don't know much about him but could turn out tb a bargain if he makes the grade.
