Not let up from Forest, barks Billy

29 November 2009 12:48
An own goal from Gareth Roberts and further efforts from Wes Morgan, Robert Earnshaw and substitute Lewis McGugan put Forest in control before Billy Sharp's late consolation in the 4-1 victory over Doncaster.[LNB]Davies said: "It's good in any league but in this league it's very difficult to achieve. But when you're on a good run you forget about it and look to the next match.[LNB]"I can promise you, we're back in on Monday morning, we've got a double session on Tuesday, we're back in Thursday and Friday and not 1% of any of these players can take their foot off the gas."[LNB]Davies also felt the second half had proved to be the difference at the City Ground.[LNB]He added: "I thought as a team in the second half we really showed our true fitness levels because our attitude to press and pick them off and get at them was very very good.[LNB]"I am really pleased with the group at the moment and next week we should have back [Nathan] Tyson, [Guy] Moussi and Chris Cohen."[LNB]Doncaster manager Sean O'Driscoll felt hard done by in terms of the game's opening goal.[LNB]O'Driscoll thought there had been a push in the build up and Rovers' assistant boss Richard O'Kelly was sent to the stands for his protests.[LNB]O'Driscoll said: "I asked the fourth official and I said I thought it was a push in the back. He said it was shoulder to shoulder so I said, 'ok'.[LNB]"The actions of the referee to Richard walking out of the technical area I thought was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, absolutely ridiculous.[LNB]"We can accept he stepped out of the technical area, but I felt it could have been managed more sensibly."[LNB]On the performance, O'Driscoll added: "We felt we were the better side in the first half and our possession was good. We could have done better in the final third but to be fair to them [Forest] anytime we got any sort of possession they got everyone behind the ball and that made it difficult for us.[LNB]"We were confident at half-time and just wanted to do things a bit differently but I thought we were naive in the second half."[LNB]Meanwhile, Doncaster confirmed that goalkeeper Neil Sullivan, who was substituted with the score at 3-0, was simply taken off to be rested, though the player himself admitted he had a dead leg.[LNB][LNB]
