  On Tuesday night, Nottingham Forest's simple challenge is to find a way to secure a victory that would end a run of seven games without a win, while also taking some of the pressure off Dougie Freedman.Following a lacklustre display in a 1-0 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday and with little chance of seeing the chronic injury list reduced significantly in the near future, confidence may be in short supply.But Freedman believes it is a different quality needed by Forest as they head to Preston...

  A Nottinghamshire MP has set aside part of her pay rise to give to a good cause. Gloria De Piero, Labour MP for Ashfield, will give nearly £400 per month as financial backing to poor youngsters going to university. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority decided to increase MP salaries by 10 per cent – from £67,060 to £74,000 – in July. But Ms De Piero told The Sun she would only take a one per cent pay rise in line with other public sector workers,...

  There was a wonderful moment in the aftermath of Alan Sheehan's winner when the Notts County manager Ricardo Moniz found himself submerged by his players. Once he was allowed to escape a screaming mound of black and white, the first thing he did was run his hands through his hair to make sure it was all in place. Even in the carnage of a goal celebration, the Dutch coach kept his emotions in check and the reaction was equally as tempered at the full time whistle. He knows there is still...

  I am like everyone else; I'm concerned Nottingham Forest are falling down the table very, very quickly. Teams above us are getting further away and teams below us are getting closer. We are four points above the relegation zone. You don't want to be in a relegation battle. And I think we are in danger of getting into one. If you are not winning games then you have to be worried about that. We've not really won a game comfortably for a long time. We have got problems. But it's not the...

  Dimitar Evtimov made a mistake against Sheffield Wednesday. He should have saved that shot from Fernando Forestieri. But I wouldn't look into it too much. He's a young boy, he came in to make his full Nottingham Forest debut and made a mistake. But he's not the only one to do that. Anyone who goes on the pitch and says they've never made a mistake is a liar. Everyone makes mistakes. It's just that with goalkeepers it gets highlighted a bit more. I would like to see him play the next game,...

  Saturday's trip to Sheffield Wednesday brought with it the same old story, as Forest's struggle for form and goals goes on. The team-sheet brought a surprise, with young goalkeeper Dimitar Evtimov being handed a full debut following an injury to Dorus de Vries. And Evtimov did very well in the first half, making a couple of smart saves. It was also welcome to see a goalkeeper coming off his line to claim set-pieces and crosses – something I feel defensively has caused us problems when...

And two of them were in the wickets as England bowled out the hosts for 234 despite losing the toss, ending themselves on four for nought at the end of play. Along with seam partner James Anderson (4-17 from 15.1 overs), Notts' Stuart Broad helped tie down an end with incredibly economic figures of 13 overs for just 13 runs – including two wickets...

But Notts were back level three minutes later when Graham Burke curled in a stunning volley. Sheehan (pictured) then grabbed the winner in the 77th minute when his free-kick crept in from 60 yards. The result stretched the Magpies' unbeaten run to four games and Sheehan was thrilled with...
