Demeaco Duhaney, 7: Got forward well in the first half as the hosts' full-backs pushed forward, was subbed with 15 minutes to go.

Richard Stearman, 7: Defended well for the most part could have had a goal after getting into a good position at the other end but Grant could not find him.

Christopher Schindler, 6: Lost concentration in the heart of the defence early in the second half as Grabban scored, which proved costly. Town punished by Forest's cutting edge.
