Town 1-2 Forest Saturday, 24th Apr 2004 18:38
Former Town striker David Johnson scored twice as his Nottingham Forest side beat the Blues 2-1 and prevented Joe Royle s side from cementing their play-off place. Johnson netted in each half with Dean Bowditch scoring an equaliser for Town in the first period.
Joe Royle sprung a surprise with his line-up, recalling Drissa Diallo for the injured Tommy Miller, the Guinean international making up a back three along with John McGreal and Matt Elliott. Up front Dean Bowditch came in for Shefki Kuqi, while Kelvin Davis returned in goal after missing out against Gillingham.
Town 1-0 Birmingham Wednesday, 10th Jan 2001 00:31
Town take a 1-0 victory to St Andrew s in two weeks time. A penalty just before half-time from Marcus Stewart saw Town gain victory, but perhaps more important was the cleansheet kept by Richard Wright and his defence.
Birmingham came with their usual physical, defensive approach, but most fans who were at Portman Road will probably most remember the contribution of referee Clive Wilkes who was as pedantic as they get and who made so many poor decisions that at one stage the whistle would blown and fans would know neither which way the freekick was going or what it was for.
