Hmm arguably our two best midfielders and our best centre back this season so far on the bench.
Blimey that's a surprise, nobody could have predicted that lineup.
Very shocked by this.
Wouldn’t be changing a winning team at this point but I’m not the manager.
At least our bench looks strong for once.
Lolley not in Forest squad.
From the highlights on Quest from their game on Saturday he looked a right handful.
Probably the best team we've faced this season They'll have watched our past line up and will now be thinking WTF - Messes their system up a little I bet.
Bowyer and Gallen have done an incredible job with no money in a very, very short space of time.
Forest dirty already. At least a yellow surely.
What a start. Not sure how we haven't scored yet.
Great team goal!
What a goal, they've been under siege since the start.
What the hell is going on? This is fantastic football.
Our players barely know each other, impressive stuff.
One of these sides is playing like they're favourites for relegation... and it isn't us.
Semedo should've done better than that. Good build up play though.
Need another goal, but we really do look good.
Ben Watson must be a thousand years old. How is he still playing?
Tearing them a new one, always a worry when it's only 1-0 though.
The fourth official has indicated a minimum of 2 minutes' additional pain for Forest this half.
Comfortably dominating in every way but goals.
Don’t think I’ve seen such a dominant half in my life. Impressive.
Excellent first half, can’t believe how poor Forest have been. Having said that, they almost scored at the end, great tackle to stop them.
Nottingham* Forest have been completely outplayed for 45 mins..can't remember a better performance at the Valley.
Forest have shown one or two glimpses of class and are certainly not out of this.
Disappointing that we've not gone in at least 2 up. Forest won't come out the same in the second half and we have to be prepared to force them back straight from the off and get another early goal.
Only time Watson has made a tackle was for that booking. He’s hasn’t been in the same post cost as Cullen.
Players are out and there are two balls on the pitch. Presumably that's so Forest have got something to play with.
We're getting sucked in a bit here. Just need to go back to patiently building up again.
That was filth from the Forest player - targeted an injured player deliberately.
Should have been a red for Ameobi.
Agree foot over the ball and went in aggressively.
Forest trying to goad us.
I note Sky have put fake crowd noise on in an attempt to drown out our fans singing "you're f***ing shit" at Forest.
Forest have realised that they can't beat us at football and have decided that thuggery and cheating is the way to go.
What bollocks the commentators are talking,*penalty and red card? Field got the ball first and deflected it onto their player! Clear on the replay.
Hit the player ankle height with studs up. Clear red card.*Might've been outside the box though, I'd need another look.
Yup, Field very lucky there.
Watson is in the refs ear every 30 seconds. f*** off you ginger Palace c*nt.
Hope we don't regret those missed opportunities.
Worral looks decent as the commentators suck him off with complimentary noise.
Forest are playing it wider to take our midfield out of the game.
And the commentators jinx us with "If everything stays the same, Charlton will go top"
Undeserved equaliser.
f***ing balls.
Why make subs at a corner?
Surely Jenkinson is on the edge of a red... Constant fouling.
That keeper is a monster.
Hard to put in corners against Muric. He’s good in the air to.
Frustrating, but in a good way in that we were brilliant first half and should have had it out of sight.
Well, after the first half that's disappointing, but we were definitely huffing and puffing by the end, so I'll take that.
Unbelievable in the first half and played them off the pitch, but only managed a 1-0 lead. Couldn't sustain that level into the second and they were lucky to get back and level it up. They're fortunate to get a share of the points away from home, after being second best for most of the game. That's football.
Really should of killed that off 1st half, but what a start 8 points and we’re annoyed at not beating forest - who look awful.
Well impressed with that on our budget, one of the greatest first half’s by a Charlton team.
2 points dropped although Forest improved second half, needed to kill them off in the first half.
Imagine being disappointed with a draw at home to Forest after playing them off the park for an hour. Crazy how far we've come.
Game of two halves, we will learn from this. Appeared that we ran out of steam after about 40 minutes, must take our chances. Denied by some good goalkeeping and the defending of Dawson & Worrrall, I'm pleased Adomah didn't start, he's always been and he remains a very skilful and dangerous player.
Shame football is about goals not passing and movement.
Seemed a bit amateurish to make two subs at an opposition corner but probably just hindsight bias. Disappointed but for an hour or so we totally outclassed a decent Championship side.
We just did not get a second. Looked tired as second half went on. Lucky Forest goal but they should have had a pen.
It's a good point against a decent side, but we made them look poor tonight because we were that good at times.
I thought the draw was overall probably a fair result, and impressive that we could give Forest such a good game while resting 3 of our best players this season. We were brilliant in the first half, some superb football but it's not as if we created and missed loads of chances, as there was some excellent defending from Forest in the box and their keeper was excellent at actually keeping (and terrible at kicking!). The one bad miss was Leko's in the second half, but other than that Forest dominated after the restart as we somewhat faded, maybe we put too much effort into the first half?
Come the second half, and Forest seemed to have been given a kick up the backside. They started playing with more attacking threat, exploiting the narrow shape by relentlessly targeting the wings. Fair enough strategy and one we were coping with fairly well. But I thought their catalyst came through pushing Silva further forward, who was having an otherwise really rather indifferent game. Not that he played overly well, but it gave their attackers much more freedom, and they got a bit of a foothold in the game. Ameobi should have been sent off. No idea about the one on the edge of our area but a couple of Forest fans have said it was a very poor challenge. Overall, especially as we had slightly battened down the hatches near the end, I think a draw was fair.
Cullen and the midfield in the first half were just mesmerising. Forest always felt a threat though, so a draw was in the end not a surprise. Expect them to be up there at the end of the season. The subs they brought on were particularly strong and had an impact. Great game and atmosphere.
Forest had lot of possession in the second half but failed to open us up, save for the corner towards the end, which we allowed to bounce in or around our six yard box before Adomah lashed it in. That was really their only clear chance that I can recall and Dillon hardly had a save to make.
