Chapter 90: Beautiful Tackle Part 1

As the team that had reached the last round of playoffs the previous season, Reading was seen by Nottingham's media as Forest's main competitor for promotion to the Premier League. In the first round of matches, Reading had been forced to a draw by Ipswich. Therefore, as long as Forest won against them in the second round, Forest would be able to widen their point difference with Reading.

However, who could have guessed that Nottingham Forest would suffer such a miserable defeat?

"0:3! This is really a complete defeat!" That was the evaluation given by John Motson, the commentator, after the match. It was clear that he, too, understood exactly what awaited this new manager one week after the match—typhoon-like warnings!

The completely unmotivated Forest!

The crushing defeat of Forest!

Collymore helpless!

0:3!
