Well, at least we're not losing...

We may have had a pretty slow start to the season – we tend to every year – but it could be a lot worse. The draw at Hull was the fifth of the campaign so far, although our second half performance perhaps deserved something more. We made Hull, who were relegated from the Premiership last season, look very ordinary, and in the second 45 minutes Lee Camp was seldom tested.

Neither team impressed the Sky TV pundits in the first half. Forest really struggled to string passes together, but whatever Billy Davies said to them at the break seemed to do the trick as they were suddenly looking a whole lot more menacing up front. Both Luke Chambers and Rob Earnshaw went close with headers, and Earnshaw did in fact put the ball in the net only for it to be ruled offside. Having chalked off their first away win of the season in mid-week at Preston, Forest were very happy with a point. Their away record in 2010 has been atrocious to put it mildly, and the clean sheet was in fact their first on their travels since last Boxing Day at Watford. My worry was that our awful away form would continue into this season and we'd be relying too much on our home form to keep away from the relegation zone. I can't envisage being as good at home as we were last year, so it's just as well that we're picking up points outside Nottingham.

Hopefully we will start winning at the City Ground soon, and with two home games coming up against Swansea and Sheffield United, we have the perfect opportunity to find some consistency and make some progress up the table.
