'We’re still in the fight' - Nottingham Forest star shakes off concerns after QPR stalemate

Nottingham Forest's star full-back, Matty Cash, believes in his side's ability after a 0-0 draw with Queens Park Rangers.

QPR managed to seal out the Reds to secure a point - but Forest did find the net through a Joe Worrall header that was eventually called back. The ball moved before Joe Lolley whipped it in from a corner, and a retake was forced after the 'goal'.

Forest couldn't wear down QPR and had to settle for a point, but Cash feels that his side were the 'better team.'

"I thought we played some good stuff, thought we were the better team overall and I think we controlled the game. We had a few chances to score and I don’t think they made it very hard for us," said Cash after the game.

Cash was as confused as the crowd when the goal was called back - due to the ball moving in windy conditions.

“Obviously we thought we had scored that goal, which is a bit annoying but it was tough conditions today as the wind was quite strong."

“They’re obviously a good side but I think they opened gaps for us to create chances and we did that. We had one cleared off the line and a few headers so I don’t think they made it hard we’ve just got to put the ball away.”

The single point helps Forest, but not a great deal - and the right-back is looking forward to the Cardiff City match on Tuesday, like everyone else.

“We’ve just got to focus on ourselves and before looking at anyone else we’ve got to get the points in our bag.

“We’re still in the fight. 12 games to go so loads to play for and we’ve got to focus on the next one. We’re back in tomorrow and we’ve got to work hard and get ourselves right for Tuesday.”
