  Nottingham Forest gave one of their worst performances of the season as they lost 3-0 at home to Brentford. Reds writer Paul Taylor offers his analysis of the match. Fawaz Al Hasawi will not have appreciated the irony but, having dispensed with the services of Dougie Freedman because he feared the prospect of relegation, on Saturday afternoon Nottingham Forest delivered a performance that was entirely befitting of a side struggling against the drop. The Reds were occasionally disappointing...

The striker came off the bench to make his home debut and netted a last-gasp equaliser to earn the 10-man Brewers a 1-1 draw against Bury. Albion had been trailing to Ryan Lowe's header when Walker replaced Phil Edwards in the 81st minute at the Pirelli Stadium, but he turned home Lucas Akins' near-post delivery in the third minute of stoppage time. And it could prove to be a crucial moment in...

  Notts County defender Thierry Audel believes their point against champions in waiting Northampton Town will give them confidence to end the season strongly. The Magpies held the league leaders to a 2-2 draw at Sixfields, which saw Audel get on the scoresheet to cancel out Ricky Holmes' opener. Jon Stead thought he had put the Magpies onto the path to victory with a penalty, but Holmes had the final say when he scored from the spot after being brought down by Wes Atkinson. Referee Ben Toner...

  Even if Mark Cooper fails to reach the points target which will extend his contract as Notts County manager, nobody can question the impact he has made. Since the 4-0 defeat against Portsmouth in his first game in charge, a game in which he likened the Magpies' defending to park football, the response he has got from his players has been admirable. A goal-less draw and a much-improved performance against Wycombe was decent enough, but it was the 2-2 draw against Northampton which underlined...

  Mark Cooper revealed how Northampton Town's players laughed at the controversial second half penalty which denied his Notts County side victory at the champions elect.

But the Cobblers were given a lifeline when Holmes fell under a soft challenge from Wes Atkinson and scored to inch Chris Wilder's side closer to...

  Nottingham Forest's performance against Brentford was diabolical. It was not acceptable – at any football club in the country. The only positive you can take from it is that there was a bit of sun coming through on to the grass, so it will grow quicker. That's it. It was dreadful. The defending was all over the place and the players looked like they were just going through the motions. Not one of them can actually say they deserved to wear the jersey. I don't know what they've...

  Evan Mosey is hoping to extend his scoring run into one more game as Nottingham Panthers look to lift the play-offs trophy. The forward's brilliant goal in the 4-1 semi-final win over Fife Flyer made it 12 games in a row where he has registered at least a point.

We've played well as a team," he...
