took the opportunity to introduce some<br />
youngsters. Dennis Peacock replaced<br />
Barron in goal, on merit Brown said, his<br />
kicking was particularly good, whilst Tony<br />
Woodcock made his debut away at Aston<br />
Villa in a 3-1 defeat.<br />
Duncan McKenzie finished the season on<br />
a high, scoring in five consecutive matches<br />
to end the season with 28 goals, two away<br />
at Portsmouth in the final game was a great<br />
send off, coming two days after the National<br />
Emergency had ended. A rejuvenated John<br />
Winfield made the most appearances, fifty<br />
in total and fully deserved his testimonial<br />
game against Leicester that saw Joe Baker<br />
and Frank Wignall re-united in the Forest<br />
attack, but special mention should be made<br />
for Liam O’Kane who had been splendidly<br />
consistent all season.<br />
Forest ended the season in seventh place,<br />
only four points off a promotion spot after<br />
taking only eight points from a possible<br />
twenty after the disappointing Cup exit.<br />
The impossible playing demands on them at<br />
the end of the season, allied with the small<br />
squad finally stopping them. What if they<br />
hadn’t embarked on a cup run? What if the<br />
manager had strengthened ? We will never<br />
know but the biggest problem facing the<br />
club would be, can we keep hold of Duncan<br />
McKenzie?<br />
