  You have to go back almost two months, to September 12, to find the last time Nottingham Forest scored more than a single goal in a game. In the ten matches since that 2-1 win at QPR, a lack of composure, cutting edge – or whatever else you want to call it – in front of goal has been their most obvious, most costly Achilles' heel. Since that day at Loftus Road, Forest have suffered five frustrating games without a goal and five where they only found the back of the net...

Firstly, and before getting to the main event, honourable mention must be given to Nottingham's own Patriot Rebel who stepped in as support at short notice and totally owned it. Their modern sounding hard rock tunes were tightly performed and vocally impressive. It never ceases to amaze me how Nottingham produces so many good and varied bands that are still under the radar as this unsigned act prove. At one point Paul, the vocalist, said playing...

A year ago he had to abandon his planned programme because of a hand injury. And then on Saturday his performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No 17 with Sinfonia Viva came close to disaster. Perhaps he was ill; perhaps he simply didn't know the piece well enough. But there were too many places where he drifted so far from what Mozart actually wrote...
