In spite of dominating much of the game and creating more chances Nottingham Forest have once again been unable to beat Walsall, having to settle for their third draw in a row. Forest dominated the first half from the outset and were denied on a number of occasions by some excellent saves from the Walsall keeper. Forest took the lead early in the second half but Walsall equalized soon after when the ball went in off Kelvin Wilson. Wasall defended in numbers after that and in spite of having four strikers on the pitch Forest were unable to find a winner.
