An exclusive interview with Nottingham Forest's Brazilian defender, Murillo #NFFC
nytimes.com/athletic/6538584…
Oliver Glasner having a few words with James McAtee there. Seemed to be telling him to keep his chin up.
Absolutely. He was excellent today. Glasner now walking off arm-in-arm with MGW #NFFC
That's that. #NFFC draw 1-1 at Ipswich. Another game where Forest have created more than enough chances to win. But didn't.
Williams' scored impressively - but later went off with an arm injury. A Milenkovic error played a big part in the equaliser.
Some odd decisions. But still.
Now Hudson-Odoi sends a shot across goal and wide.
#NFFC have had 17 shots with an xG of 2.2... but they cannot find a second goal.
Milenkovic glances a header wide... it looked for a second as though Murillo might get a touch on it, to guide it towards goal. But no #NFFC
Williams is down needing treatment - off by the side of the pitch - after falling awkwardly while trying desperately to keep a ball in.
Looks like an arm injury - Netz is gong to come on to replace him #NFFC
A deflected clearance loops up kindly for Delap - but he can't get over the top of his header and sends it over the bar #NFFC
CHO comes on to replace Ndoye as #NFFC continue their search for a second goal at Portman Road...
Now Ndoye has an effort cleared away off the line, before Munoz sees his efforts to convert the rebound blocked. This game has a familiar feel to it #NFFC
Now Murillo has a free header from a corner but sends it bouncing down into the turf and wide... #NFFC
Williams sees a shot charged down, it rebounds for Murillo - who sees Walton deny him with a strong save - a third effort from Schlager goes wide of the target.
#NFFC are still pushing here.
If the Ndoye one was bad, that decision is even worse... McAtee gets taken out by Diop completely. None of the ball.
It is being checked as a red card by VAR but how has the ref not called that first time around? #NFFC
HT thoughts are pretty predictable... #NFFC dominate for most of the first half, create the better chances - but only have one goal to show for it.
Hopefully missed opportunities don't end up being the story of the game for Glasner's men, come the final whistle here.
O'Shea has hold of Delap as the two men battle for the ball... the #NFFC man responds by tearing the Ipswich man's shirt off him...
Finally just seen a replay of the earlier Ndoye incident... Ouattara did look to have made enough contact for that to have been a fairly straightforward free-kick, as the #NFFC man looked to burst through.
GOAL... a mistake from Milenkovic, who does not get enough on his ball back towards Sels - and Enciso pounces to beat the #NFFC keeper with a shot rolled inside the post.
Davis with a big, big clearance off the line to deny MGW, as Ndoye set him up with a cross to the far post.
The keeper was beaten - but the Ipswich defender was not #NFFC
