    Lovely skill by Anthony Elanga to beat Ben Osborn but his cross is cut out.

    Anthony Elanga has worked hard since coming on for Forest. He tracks back to win the ball off Gustavo Hamer.

    Ha ha ha, how pointless is this. Ben Osborn takes his time over a throw-in and after he's taken it the referee blows the whistle and books him for time-wasting. Wasting another 20 seconds himself to do that.

    Serge Aurier overhits a cross but Anthony Elanga puts a defender under good pressure and wins a throw-in.

    Home fans shout for a penalty as Ryan Yates' cross is blocked. Referee not interested.

    Sheffield United should be ahead. Two Forest defenders make a mess of a long ball and Benie Traore speeds away. You think he's going to slot home from 20 yards but Matt Turner gets down low to palm the shot away.

    Matt Turner drops a cross, but it's because some Sheffield United players had crashed into him. Free out.

    Serge Aurier heads away the corner.

    A very patient build-up from Sheffield United, with Benie Traore heavily involved, and it ends with Oliver Norwood's corner being chested behind for a corner.

    Sheffield United bring on teenager Andre Brooks for William Osula.

    Blades goalscorer Gustavo Hamer goes into the book for fouling Morgan Gibbs-White, who was spinning him to get on the end of a one-two.

    Anthony Elanga has a shot, blocked by Chris Basham. The Forest fans are in good voice again.

    The fact that Chris Basham is again playing in midfield shows how thin are the Blades in certain roles. But they are well coached and still have decent players (I was impressed by Souza). This couple of week of the transfer market will be HUGE for them. If they can add two or three important players (a 9 in particular) they can fight even after the dearly losses they had.

    Good run by Forest's Brennan Johnson down the right. Maybe he could try to find Anthony Elanga but doesn't, but he does pull it back to Danilo, whose shot is blocked.
