The Reds return to action at Brentford on Saturday, two weeks on from beating their fierce rivals 1-0 at the City Ground.

However, the full-back believes better can follow at Brentford, as Forest look to ensure recent promising displays...

    Nottingham Post published Oldham Athletic 2 Mansfield Town 0: Match report
    Mansfield Town were denied a place in the second round of the FA Cup after a battling effort at Oldham counted for little, thanks to second-half strikes by Danny Philliskirk and Dominic Poleon. Philliskirk capitalised on a defensive slip amid terrible conditions at a rain-soaked, wind-swept Boundary Park to fire home after 70 minutes. Poleon added another with a neat finish to beat Scott Shearer eight minutes later. Adam Murray's men, who have now gone five matches without hitting the net,...
