Nottingham Forest line-up: Samba, Worrall, Grabban, Watson (Carvalho, 68), Jenkinson, Semedo (Sow, 46), Robinson, Ameobi (Adomah, 77), Dawson ©, Lolley, Silva. Subs not used: Muric, Cash, Mir, Rodriguez.

Attendance: 27,249 (1,610 PNE fans)
Referee: Mr G Eltringham
Would have settled for a point before kick off just a shade disappointed we did not take all three but in fairness to the home side they were better than us in the second period although after Albert had equalised we probably shaded the last 10 minutes or son.
After a stroll down the banks of the Trent arrived at my seatjust in time to get soaked as the heavens opened, by the times the players came out for the game we had glorious sunshine.
Glourious could also be used to describe our first half performace, we were tremendous only disappointment we only scored one which in the end did actually cost us.
We passed the ball superbly forcing Forest back, keeper Samba made two routine saves before puching a raping drive from Harrop to safety, Forest were unable to handle Neil unique team selection of not playing a solitary forward in the starting line up.
When we finally took the lead cannot say anyone was surpised Forest didn't deal with a Bodin shot, he got a bit lucky and the ball rebounde too him, no mistake one up.
Within a minute Harrop nearly made it two following a great team move'

Forest brought on Sow on at the break, he ended up being Forest's MOM.We never really got going in the second half think they changed formation and it worked for them, compared to the first half the game was a lot scrappier, with our professionalism coming into play in the second half, it wound the home side up the #teamslikepreston thread is taking a hammering tonight.
Apart from a Grabban miss they didn't really create a lot even though they had tons of possession, then on came Albert first touch goal although may have been offside not given.
They pushed for the winner Rudd saved from Lolley, we had a couple of chances but points shared probably just about right.
Nottingham Forest head coach Sabri Lamouchi:
"After the first half it was difficult. At one down, it was lucky for us because Preston started the game in a good way and we didn't play the first half.
"They won the first half, we won the second because we started to play. We changed something, we were more aggressive, we had more rhythm, and we tried until the end to win.
"The positive is that we stayed in the game, we came back into the game, and we never gave up."
Preston manager Alex Neil:
"In the first half, we had probably four very, very good chances, the keeper makes a couple of good saves and we get a good goal. I thought we were totally dominant in the first half and I don't think they had an answer for us.
"We knew they were going to come out and be more aggressive in the second half and I knew that was going to be difficult because the pace at the top end of the pitch isn't available at the moment.
"We needed to be a bit braver and force the ball through the middle a bit more, but naturally when you're winning the game you're a bit reluctant to do it. I thought Forest did the scrappy bits of the game in the second half better than us."
