Davies and Warnock exchange heated words.

Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies criticised the rough tactics used by Crystal Palace, following the sides 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park.


Davies was incensed that Clint Hill was not shown a red card for an alleged elbow to the face of Reds winger Paul Anderson, on the stroke of half time.



Hill was shown a yellow card after getting involved with Forest right back Chris Gunter, who was also booked. This led to a melee involving players and staff from both clubs.

Anderson had to be taken off at half time, such the extent of force Hill had used on the former Liverpool youngster.



Davies told Sky Sports, ''I think it was a red card, and when Neil Warnock doesn't complain to you at the side of the pitch you know he thinks it to.''



''He is a very fortunate manager and a Hill is a very fortunate player, because it was a blatant elbow in my opinion.''

Warnock claimed that the incident was only worthy of a yellow card.

I'm sure I speak for all Forest fans when I say that I hope Anderson's injury isn't serious as he has become a real valuable player in recent weeks. His pace is electric and he offers us a good let out ball on the wing, similarly to Tyson.



The game itself saw the Reds go a goal down to a screamer of a free-kick by former Ipswich man Darren Ambrose, who seems to be getting his career back on track with the Eagles after disappointing, injury hit spells with Newcastle and Charlton.


However, Forest earned a deserved point when Lewis Mcgugan drilled in a cross which was slid home by summer signing David McGoldrick on 48 minutes.

Forest pressed hard for an equaliser that never came and had to settle for a point, as there unbeaten away record continued.

I would also like to say congratulation to Guy Moussi for netting his first goal for the club in the recent home game against Barnsley.

The French midfielder has done well to come back from a serious ankle injury, that he sustained against Palace last season, and perform superbly against Newcastle and then score a vital winner against the Tykes in injury time.

The only downside was seeing the former SCO Angers man shown a second yellow for going into the crowd when celebrating. Such a pathetic rule in my opinion, but a rule none the less so Moussi deserved to go.
