Fans cannot stop brutally trolling Derby

Forest fans cannot stop trolling Derby County today as another anniversary of their play-off final defeat to Queens Park Rangers rolls around.

It's now six years since the Rams were beaten 1-0 in the Championship Wembley showpiece by Harry Redknapp's ten-man QPR side, with Bobby Zamora capitalising on an error from Richard Keogh to score the winner in the 90th minute.

Derby had been the better side and Steve McClaren's side looked set to take the tie into extra-time and finish Rangers off then, but for Zamora's excellent winner on the half-volley.

Rivalries are made all the better by each side revelling in the delight of the other's failure and this was no different.

Forest handed huge boost ahead of restart

Forest have learned that only two out of over a thousand Championship players and staff tested for coronavirus this weekend have tested positive for having the disease.

The Reds will return to training tomorrow in small groups ahead of football's fast approaching restart after the club saw no tests return positive.

Players and staff at the City Ground were tested by Nationwide Pathology on Thursday and Friday in a first wave of testing that the EFL say has had no impacted in any way on NHS resources.

And in a statement on Sunday afternoon they have confirmed that their first wide-scale test has only returned two positive results in a big boost for those desperate to get back playing.

Villa star hands Forest transfer boost

Aston Villa star Trezeguet has told Forest transfer target Mbaye Diagne that he would be a good fit for an English club.

Trezeguet and Diagne were team-mates at Turkish side Kasimpasa until the pair left, the latter moving to Villa and the former to Galatasaray.

Diagne has been heavily linked with a move to Forest and those rumours were fuelled further when he, unintentionally, shared a post on Instagram with a picture of himself with a Forest badge superimposed on the snap.

The Senegal international has also been linked with Championship rivals Leeds United and Premier League side Watford.
