Richardson drags his man down. But no free kick. :D

Corner instead.

Fornah gets the challenge in vs the Bradford goal scorer but gives away a corner.

Da Costa heads away to Mighten.

Fernandes cramps up again.

Penalty? Ref' waves it away. :O

Fig' to come on.

Forest running out of steam. Deja vu?

[Strawberry Avenger]

Yates to come on at CH!

Baba got away with a challenge in the box which is described as a leg sweep. Should have been a pen to Bradford. Have to swap our two centre backs due to injuries.

Hodge makes the point that these lads have done just over an hour. And they're finding it hard going. But they've done well. Promising debut form the young gun CHs.

That lack of preseason looking pretty tough right now. So many injuries already and a clear lack of fitness shown in both games. Hope they catch up quickly!

[Strawberry Avenger]

Fig blocks Bradford's shot. Another shout for a pen?

Richardson (him again) gets it clear.

Yates was one that was suggested to become a CB in the player review that was posted in another thread.

Good point.  It undid Forest vs Cov'.

But if you're pre-season is disrupted or (like last Summer) you barely have one...then it becomes an issue.  And already is.

Fornah. Knock to the head.

Hopefully no 'head injury' subs needed.
