I won't be deleting anyone's scores, if you choose not to take part then that is up to you and is your prerogative. The rule with attendance was always no later than 2 hours before kickoff but with the clubs announcing how many tickets they have sold both home and away fans, it is getting easier to predict so let me look at it and maybe we can come up with something less predictable to use for home games.

We did it again - going into stoppage time level but finding that bit extra to claim all three points at S6. It isn't good for the hearts of Wednesday fans but it shows the tremendous character that we have. If we could just claim a few easier wins by playing in the first half, who knows, we might just make a good promotion push.
It wasn't that we played poorly in the first half. In fact we should have been in front with Hooper, Fletcher & Wallace all forcing good saves with Fessi & Fletcher each amazingly failing to follow up Hooper's effort.
Forest scored against the run of play when Lansbury's long range shot ricocheted off Bannan and in off the bar, giving Westwood no chance.
Forest nearly went two up when Westwood was forced into a spectacular save to his left. Lee put us level with a free header from Wallace's beautifully flighted corner. After that, it was just a question of if we could get a winner. Wallace almost got it with a sweet chip that was headed off the line by Cohen.
Just after the announcement of five minutes of stoppage time, the goal came. The ball was pinballing about before Fessi & Fletcher beautifully set it up for Lee to sidefoot the ball home - almost as good as the Bristol City match.
Westwood - 7 - one important save, no chance with goal
Hunt - 6 - bright start but struggled later
Lees - 5 - Never really himself, turned out he was unwell
Hutchinson - 8 - looking like a quality CB now
Reach - 7 - struggled defensively but great going forward
Wallace - 7 - Involved in most of our best moves
Bannan - 6 - not at his best
Lee - 8 - slow start, brilliant finish
Fessi - 6 - below his best but worked hard
Hooper - 7 - good movement, linked play well
Fletcher - 7 - worked hard, good link play
..................................................................
Loovens - 7 - calm & assured
Abdi - 6 - kept possession well, needs to threaten more
Nuhiu - 6 - kept Forest defenders busy

We need to find out how to win on the road or else we face a season of mid table mediocrity. Let's start at Blackburn on Tuesday.
Did you have a good day out, MS? How are you doing lately?
Saturday was a bit of a struggle. I was struggling to keep food down and getting back to the car after the match took me ages. Good job we get these brilliant finishes, otherwise I don't know whether I could stand it. Every game I wonder if it will be my last match but my son manages to get me there & home each time. Hopefully a few more victories before I have to quit for good.
Thanks for asking.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

I'm confused. Why has the official attendance changed since I left the ground? I thought I'd won a point in the BML when I left and then I read through this today and check the Wednesday website to find nearly 400 people sneaked in on Saturday teatime!
Gutted!
You know nothing, Jacko

26,941 was announced in the ground and on the scoreboard.
27,350 was announced somewhere else.
