Nottingham Forest v Fulham

FOREST IN FOCUS
NEWS IN BRIEF FROM AROUND THE CITY GROUND
LYLE’S PINK
OCTOBER
Nobody failed to notice Lyle
Taylor on Tuesday’s night win
at Ashton Gate when the late
substitute won the points for
The Reds with two injury time
goals, sporting his pink hair.
As you might have read in
last week’s Forest Review
for the Blackpool match,
Lyle is again raising money
for Cancer Research. Please

GET SHORTY
Our Macron third kit has
got plenty of attention this
season and not just because
of the striking yellow and
orange colourway.
Three outings. Three
victories. Seven goals.
We won’t be wearing an all
red kit this season as the
club can only register three
kits with the EFL. However,
there is an oddity within
the rules that we can wear
white shorts even if there is a
clash, if the referee approves
it. So, we could be red/
white/red on Friday at QPR.
FAN ZONE
The popular fan zone is now
welcoming supporters again
for our weekend matches.
The fan zone is run in
conjunction with the Great
Northern Group and features
cask beers from the Navigation
Brewery, plus our usual range
of Molson Coors brands.
Live music is provided by
Steve McGill and, from
today’s match, artisan street
vendors will be providing the
food.
Come and join us from noon
on 3pm matchdays at the rear
of The Brian Clough Stand.
BEER & BURGERS
If you can’t make it to Loftus
Road on Friday evening, the
Commercial team are holding
a networking social night in
the 1865 Club.
The event being held in
association with our partners,
Document Network Solutions
(DNS), starts at 5.30pm and
for just £20 you will get a
drink on arrival and a burger.
Andy Reid will be the
VIP guest providing prematch
and half-time analysis
of the big match at QPR
which will be live on the
screens in the lounge.
To book your ticket
please call 0115 982 4450
or e-mail hospitality@

BRENNAN TAKES
THE HONOURS
Brennan Johnson had eyecatching
September, so
much so that he was named
the EFL’s Young Player of the
Month before the Blackpool
match last weekend.
The academy graduate
featured five times for The
Reds in the month, scoring
and making an assist for
Philip Zinckernagel in the 3-1
victory at Oakwell, whilst also
crossing for Lewis Grabban to
head home at Huddersfield.
Johnson then celebrated his
award by opening the scoring
against Blackpool – his first
senior goal at The City Ground.
BABA SHORTLISTED
Andy Reid’s Under 23s
have made a bright start to
the club’s first season as a
Premier League Category
One academy.
21 year-old centre half Baba
Fernandes had the honour
of being shortlisted for
September 2021’s Premier
League 2 Player of the Month
award. The winner was Caleb
Chukwuemeka of Aston Villa.
