da realsbet: Nottingham Forest’s impressive run under Sabri Lamouchi extended to a ninth straight game as they managed to secure a point against Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday night.
On a night where Leeds United defeated Midlands rivals West Brom to leapfrog them into first position in the Championship, Forest moved one step closer in third, but only by goal difference.
The Reds went behind to an Adam Armstrong strike just after the hour mark, which was the result of a scathing counter-attack, but Forest hit back through Joe Lolley less than two minutes later.

Lolley duly provided with one of his trademark screamers, finding the bottom corner from a reasonable distance.
Forest managed to cling on to a draw after the home side launched a barrage of attacks in the final ten minutes, recording ten shots alone.
The performance from the 27-year-old winger suggested he was back at his best, and when he’s playing like that, Forest are a dangerous prospect to face.
Aside from scoring the equaliser, Lolley managed four successful dribbles – more than anyone else on the pitch and also one key pass.
He also dug deep defensively too, recording two tackles and he even won seven of his 12 ground duels, per SofaScore.
Lolley’s season up until this point had started very slowly with just one goal and assist in seven games, which both came in the same match against Birmingham City.
The boisterous winger was then dropped early in September, but since then he’s starting to show that he’s back on top.
In fact, his last two outings have returned just as many goals and the Championship will very much know how much of a threat he can be having recorded 11 goals and 11 assists last term.
If he continues to perform at the rate he’s shown in their last two outings, he could well start to match his displays of last term. That would undeniably boost Forest’s playoff hopes.
