Nottingham Forest have been through some tough times in the last 11 years and despite a 17 game unbeaten run recently Earnies miss of a penalty should remind everyone who supports Nottingham Forest that games, even championships and titles are decided on such incidents, we should learn....

We had good runs before. A lot of them in fact but if this one is to end up one of the good ones we ought remember that chances like this change teams and futures. Was that the second Earnshaw has missed? Whatever that case may be?

We are looking at a very good run indeed and if it were not for the likes of Earshaw and co we wouldn't be looking so rosy now. Yet there are bridges ahead, problems that need sorting, a whole load of mud to wipe off boots before anything is decided too. So far we are coming up trumps but a miss in that situation if it were a World Cup Final?

Please make the goal keeper at least earn his large house by hitting the target.
