The highlights of the game for me were
First half
1) The quick free kick from Zamora to put Brooker through and the cool finish
2) The Zamora chest down for Chippy to nearly break the cross bar
3) The Beasant save, low down at full stretch, to deflect a low hard shot wide, not bad for a 42 year old! (43 Actually !! )
4) The constant whinging and moaning by Coventry reject Huckerby
5) Mayo pushing forward and giving Harewood a run for his money
Second half
1) The determination from all XI players not to let Forest score
2) The Referee for not giving the penalty when Johnson went down (seeing it on TV yesterday it was a clear dive!)
3) The Linesman a few minutes later keeping his flag up after the referee had given a penalty
4) Beseant for tipping a shot onto the bar, I'm sure he got his finger tips to it
5) The only down side, how did the referee get 3 minutes injury time? What injuries? Did the Physio come on at any stage?
Overall IMHO the best performance this season

Ps What pub are people heading for tomorrow evening? We get to Sheffield at 4pm, and are staying overnight so any recommended pubs would be nice!
PPs Anyone know if Ipswich away is sold out? A mate is thinking of coming along, but will not know for certain until Wednesday.
