Unbeaten away, we're Nottingham Forest, unbeaten away


Nottingham Forest remain the only side in England to boast an unbeaten away record, after claiming a hard earned point at Sheffield United.

In truth, it was a point gained rather than two dropped as Forest were under pressure for the majority of the game and had to rely on keeper Lee Camp to save them on numerous occasions.

The former Derby keeper kept out efforts from Matt Kilgallon, Stephen Quinn and loanee Henri Camara to ensure that Forest left Yorkshire with a share of the spoils.

Forest did create one decent chance, with Robbie Earnshaw firing wide early in the second half, and also saw a shot comfortably cleared off the line by Blades skipper Chris Morgan.

But the brilliant travelling support were delighted to see the Reds hang on for a point and showed their appreciation to Camp by singing his name at the end of the game.

The match saw assistant David Kelly take charge in the absence of Billy Davies who was ill, and he will be delighted to have maintained Forest's impressive away record and kept the Reds in the play-offs in 4th place.
