Oldham 0 Nottingham Forest 0
Fred Austin26/12/2007
OLDHAM made it 11 games unbeaten with a gritty display against league leaders Nottingham Forest.
Chances were few and far between as both sides cancelled each other out in an evenly fought contest.
The home side had come closest to opening the scoring when Chris Taylor crashed a shot against the post after just one minute.
Forest skipper Ian BrecKin almost stole in following a 26th minute free kick from Chris Cohen, but the ball rolled harmlessly out of play.
Four minutes later the lively Taylor had a 25-yard effort comfortably saved.
Forest’s top scorer Junior Agogo, who had a brief spell on loan with the Latics six years ago, should also have done better with a shot from the edge of the box in the 37th minute.
But neither keeper had a serious save to make in the opening half.
Agogo was again wasteful with another opportunity after the break, then keeper Paul Smith came to Forest’s rescue with a superb save to keep out a close range blockbuster from Taylor with 11 minutes to go.
Once again Forest couldn’t shake off the jinx of bogey side Oldham – their last win at Boundary Park was 53 years ago.
