NOTTINGHAM FOREST 2 SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 1
POST MATCH REACTION
ComeOnSpurs.com, 7 Feb 2010
Nottingham Forest recorded their seventh successive straight win at home thanks to a Dexter Blackstock brace as they beat Sheffield United 2-1 yesterday.
Blackstock converted a controversail penalty before Wednesday got back into the game with a Luke Varney equaliser.
But it was Blackstock who found the net again to secure the points after the owls had failed to deal with a Chris Cohen free-kick.

Forest boss Billy Davies admitted he was about to sub Blackstock before the striker scored his second.
Davies said: "Yes, we were going to make a substitution before he scored. Sometimes it works out for you and sometimes it doesn't - but it did today.
"As for the penalty, it was a soft one and if I was their manager Alan Irvine I would have been very disappointed by it.
"I was just pleased that we showed the character to win what was a very difficult game against a team who had won four out of their last five matches and were clearly working very hard for a new manager.
"It was a good test for us, having lost our first game in 20 to our nearest and dearest last weekend. But it was important for us to dig in and show the mettle we needed to come off the pitch with three points."
Wednesday put in a good performance against a tired looking Forest and manager Alan Irvine was disappointed not to have anything to show for the effoprts of his side.
Irvine said: "I thought we deserved to get something out of the game.
"There was only one person in the ground who thought it was a penalty because the shot clearly struck Darren Purse on the back. It knocked us out of our stride for 10 or 15 minutes.
"But we talked about a few things at half-time and were in the ascendancy for the second half. I thought we might actually go on and win it because we were on the front when we scored the equaliser.
"But when you put into context how good a side Forest are, we can take a lot of heart from the performance. If we perform like that in our other games we will win more than we lose."
